From the Editor
The Gift That Keeps On Giving Well, 2014 is here. And as is the case with most years, this one came at me like a runaway train. As I head into my 15th year at the helm of RaceCenter, I figured it was time to do a little redecorating. As you will see as you thumb through the pages of this issue, we’ve made some changes. Writer/designer/ultrarunner/dad Jeff Browning has given us a nice refresh of the design in the magazine which we’re very excited to share. We still have the same great editorial staff, but after a few pow-wows this past fall, I decided it was time to add some more variety, not only to what we provide to the reader, but how we provide it. Max King has been on staff for the past few seasons writing about everything training-related. His “training column” has aptly been renamed “Maximus” and we’re going to give him a little latitude moving forward. I think I speak for most D BOSWELL PHOTOGRAPHY
of us when I say that we “all” like to read about the latest training tips and tricks, or find ways to build speed and strength without killing ourselves to do it, or adding an extra 30 minutes to our workouts. Although Max will continue to convey some great training-related information in his column, we will also get to live vicariously through Max as he shares some of his adventures with us from his escapades both near and far. Nutrition has always been a hot topic with our readers and Stephanie Howe (another local running talent and aspiring PhD) jumped on board last year as our resident columnist covering the topic. She too has had some fantastic experiences as a professional athlete who has traveled the world in search of running adventure and a coveted spot on the podium. Stephanie will continue to provide us with great nutrition in her column “Fuel” but you’ll see some different types of content from her in the coming issues that may stray outside the lines of what you’d expect to find from our in-house nutrition guru. As I write this letter, it’s just before Christmas in December 2013. By the time you read it, all the lights will be put away, the decorations stowed in boxes and we will have all moved into another calendar year. But as you roll through another year, I hope you can find as much joy from being a part of the endurance sports community in the Northwest as I do. It may not be Christmas every day, but each time I untie my shoes after a run or unbuckle my helmet after a ride, I try give thanks for the able body I have that’s given me the opportunities to enjoy the life I live. I guess you’d call that the gift the keeps on giving? I have been truly blessed over the years to work with great writers, photographers and an extremely supportive base of advertisers. And, of course, I have to thank our readers for their continued support, feedback and encouragement over the past 15 years. My experience with RaceCenter has been life changing, literally. I wish you a happy and healthy 2014 and hope to see YOU at the races! Warm Regards, Brook Gardner brook@racecenter.com

Museum in McMinnville. If you aren’t already
The 118th running of the historic Boston Marathon will take place on Monday, April 21, 2014. The famed Patriots’ Day route from Hopkinton to Boston is not known for producing fast times. Both the men’s course record (2:03:02 by Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya in 2011) and the women’s record (2:20:43 by Margaret Okayo of Kenya in 2002) seem relatively pedestrian in this era of elite runners edging closer to breaking the two-hour barrier.

NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships for the next eight years. This past December the NCAA awarded the meet to TrackTown USA from 2015 to 2021. “We plan to turn the NCAA Championships into the hottest ticket in the sport of track and field. It took a remarkable partnership of entities from not only the Eugene-Springfield community, but the entire state of Oregon, to make this commitment to the sport. By bringing the NCAA meets to the Eugene-Springfield communities through 2021, it ensures that an unprecedented list of high-caliber events will be coming to Oregon for the next decade,” said Vin Lananna, President TrackTown USA. Events already slated for Hayward Field are the 2014 NCAA Championships and the IAAF World Junior Championships. Hayward Field will also host the 2015 USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships and the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials. Info: www.tracktownusa.com

All Torque and No Action It’s easy to pick the experienced riders out on virtually any group ride. They’re the ones who sit relaxed in the saddle while pedaling in smooth, quick circles, seemingly without effort. They have an economy of motion borne of years learning to be as efficient as possible. These riders have mastered one of the keys to cycling efficiency – cadence. Much fuss has been made about cadence in recent years and, upon examination, it’s easy to see why. In cycling, power is torque multiplied by angular velocity. That is, a rider creates power through pedal force (torque) and pedaling speed (angular velocity). One can create more power by pedaling harder or by pedaling faster. Most of us have a natural tendency to turn over the pedals at a relatively low speed (70-90rpm). It’s manageable, steady, and it makes us feel like we’re working hard. In fact, we are working hard – harder than we should be! It takes a relatively high amount of muscular power to turn the pedals around at low cadences. Since our muscles hold just a couple of hours’ worth of fuel, pedaling at a low cadence only works until our legs fatigue, at which point our race is effectively over. So, pedaling harder works well, but only for a short time. As endurance athletes, we have a high level of aerobic fitness relative to muscular strength. Pedaling faster effectively takes the stress away from our muscles and transfers it to our aerobic systems. A high pedal cadence leverages the aerobic fitness that our sports already give us, thereby saving our muscular strength for when we need it, such as on steep hills, rollers, or sprints. Pedaling faster allows us to be more efficient and,

therefore, better athletes. Now that you’re convinced that you need to pedal faster, how do you go about doing it? In a word: practice. Pedaling at lower cadences trains your muscle firing patterns to do exactly that – pedal slowly. After some time, you’re optimized for it. The way to optimize your muscles for higher cadences is to practice those. Start with your warm-ups and cool downs – set a goal of 90+rpm during those times and track it. When you’ve mastered that, raise your goal to 100rpm, and so on. When you’ve mastered high cadences in warm-up and cool down, begin, if it doesn’t already come naturally by now, to focus on integrating it into your workout sets. Before long, you’ll be more efficient, with less muscular fatigue – and a better chance of reaching your goals.

complished through endurance training, the nutrition strategies that accompany these goals are very different. In fact, nutrition for performance and nutrition for weight loss are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
Periodization To determine how to eat to meet your goals as an athlete, you must first define what your goals are. Is losing weight your primary goal? Do you want to be competitive and race? Both? I work with many athletes who want to race fast and lose weight. To accomplish both of these goals I first have the athlete define his or her race season by picking key races during the year. I also have the athlete define the off-season, where racing and fitness aren’t the top priority. This is referred to as periodization—the systematic planning of physical training. Periodization is characterized by cycling of training blocks to reach a peak during the season. Periodization was based on Hans Selye’s model, the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS), which describes the biological response to stress. A body cannot handle the high level of stress accompanying a peak training block week after week. Thus, rest and cycling through high volume, easy training, and intensity blocks are an important part of a training plan. The off-season is just as important as the heavy training blocks Without proper rest and a chance to ‘reset’ both physically and mentally, an athlete will not continue to improve. Burnout, injuries, illness, and stagnating performance often accompany a year-round training and racing plan. Further, an off-season allows an opportunity to address other areas that need attention, such as improving body composition, flexibility, or strength. For an athlete who has more than one goal during the year, periodization allows for planning to reach
32

Define Your Off-Season So how do you decide when to take some down time? It can be tough to decide with the increase in races all year-round. Some questions you can ask yourself to help decide are: When do most of the competitive races occur? How many months of training are required before you are ready to race? What other life events do you have that might interfere with training or racing? After you’ve thought about the timing and what makes most sense for you, create

not specific steps established to reach the goal. When setting goals it’s helpful to use the acronym SMART, which stands for specific, measureable, action-oriented, realistic, and time-oriented. Using each component of the SMART goal setting technique clearly defines that goal, the steps you will take to reach it, and the deadline you are setting to reach the outcome. If we rewrite the goal “I want to get healthier” using SMART goals, it becomes “I want to lose 5 pounds by March 1st, 2014. I will accomplish this goal by adding 1 serving of vegetables to each meal and cutting out processed foods when I snack. I will also continue to run 3 days per week and strength train 1 time per week. I will weigh myself each week to assess progress.” This is much more long winded, but also much more tangible. Setting a SMART goal makes you more likely to work towards the goal because there is a specific plan and a deadline to achieve the goal. For athletes this goal might be a nutrition, weight loss, or
Eating for Weight Loss To lose weight, energy intake must be lower than energy expenditure. Exercise is one way to increase energy expenditure, and is often recommended as part of a weight loss plan to sustain a negative energy balance. However during weight loss, exercise is not the primary focus and nutrition does not revolve around exercise and recovery. Timing is still important, but it’s focused on appetite and sustained energy throughout the day. The goal during weight loss is to create an energy deficit, not to have energy available for exercise. Because weight loss focuses on a negative energy balance, exercise duration is often shorter and not as vigorous. Since postexercise refueling may be delayed to help sustain a negative energy balance, exercise at a high intensity or long duration cannot be completed. The result of too much exercise with inadequate energy intake is catabolism

are very different. Working with a coach and sports nutritionist can better help you design a plan and reach your goals as an athlete. Some common misconceptions concerning weight loss: Eating less will help you lose weight faster. Not true. In fact, too little can actually halt weight loss. A very low calorie diet will suppress metabolism, and lower the body’s baseline energy expenditure. Eating fewer meals each day will help with weight loss. Not necessarily. When energy intake is lowered it’s important to eat small meals throughout the day to keep energy levels up. Fasting all day will only cause you to make poor choices later in the day and will wreak havoc on metabolism and blood sugar. However, that doesn’t mean graze all day- choose the snack foods wisely and keep portions small. Protein is not important. Totally false! Protein is one of the most important nutrients to bump up when you want to lose weight. Protein helps with satiety following a meal, meaning you will feel full longer. Protein also helps maintain lean muscle tissue, which requires more energy to sustain than fat mass. More exercise = weight loss. Again, not true. Exercise is only one side of the spectrum. For successful weight loss both diet and exercise must be carefully planned and executed to achieve and sustain a negative energy balance. Merely increasing the amount of exercise will not result in weight loss. •

Working on a Daily Routine MAX KING
When it comes to running a performancetype workout we usually want to get the most out of all the hard work we’re putting into it, right? There’s a reason why we’re putting in the work otherwise we’d just go out for a nice easy run and not have to go through the pain of stressing our bodies to get them to adapt to a higher training load. So why is it then that we all skimp on our warm up leading into a workout? Getting the most out of a workout starts at the first step of our warm up and ends on the last step of our cool down with each step in between just as important as the first and last. Talking with someone in my workout group just last night about their interval workout they lamented that their first loop (of four) just didn’t go well, with a sluggish feeling and a

My favorite is the 50-miler. You get the privilege of running an out-and-back on the PCT just into California on the trail, bushwhacking a half-mile up to a craggy rock, and then heading back 25 miles to Mt. Ashland Ski Area. Finish and you’ll earn a big bottle brew from Southern Oregon Brewing Company, a sweet SOB pint glass, and some other fun goodies in your finisher bag. Don’t forget to aid your recovery with a made-to-order burrito from a hip little food cart. Make a plan to stay for the weekend and check out the quaint Shakespeare-obsessed town of Ashland.

Beginner vs. Veteran
require much training time and sounds good to most new runners— and to more than a few veterans as well. After a few races are under the belt, a half marathon sounds like a reasonable challenge. The full marathon is a tougher sell, but if the half was successful, many runners like to step up to the challenge. Been there, done that? Well, then you should try an ultra, right? Or maybe try triathlon? That’s the usual progression. Start easy, later move up to more and more difficult challenges. It’s just the way it’s done! But why is it often done like that? Why do so many runners follow that exact same progression? Races have so many variables: distance, location, course, entry fees, weather, time of year, your age, your health, and your desire. Why don’t athletes determine their own race evolution? Why do athletes often avoid races that seem to have their names written on them?

I’m sorry to be the one to break the news, beginners, but running is easier for veteran athletes. Even a beginner that has been training regularly and is in respectable running shape will have several disadvantages compared to a runner that has been training, and racing, for years. Physiologically, the mitochondria that power running muscles can continue to build in volume for years, potentially throughout one’s entire life. It’s one reason why world-class distance runners are rarely under the age of 25. Veterans have a psychological edge in this category as well. Most runners can tough out a 5K, or even a 10K, but half marathons, marathons and ultras ultimately become as much a mental struggle as a physical one. It’s a huge advantage to have run the distance before—knowing you’ve finished the same race in the past, with success, can wash away those late-race doubts. What does this all mean? Well, if you’ve

Climate is an interesting category. Should you consider race day weather? Yes, but mainly as a general, hoping-for-the-best type of contemplation. When looking at a single day, weather is fickle, especially in the Northwest.

What’s Your Race? Unique vs. Common Both personal preference and personal goals come into play for this one. Unique races are exciting, fun, inspire camaraderie and enthusiasm…and are usually slow paced. Picture adventure races, trail races, costumed competitions, marathons through vineyards and amusement parks, 5K races through powdered dye—these are races of a different breed, to be sure, and they’re fun. How about a regular, old loop course 5K on flat, paved roads? Boring? Yes. Fast? Also yes. It’s interesting and fun to try out new races and courses every year. But for some runners, nothing is more interesting and fun than setting a new PR. I’m pretty sure you already know into which group you fall here.
Healthy vs. Injury-Prone This one is actually trickier than it might seem. You need to know your own body, your injury history and your comfort level on the roads and off. Getting off the pavement and onto the trails can definitely help if you’ve had injuries in the past from the repetitive pounding on roads. On the other hand, racing on the trails can bring a different set of potential injuries to the fore: trips, falls and twisted ankles being much more common during trail races than road races. For the best of both worlds, schedule slower training runs off-road, while planning races on the smooth, consistent pavement.
Free Time vs. Life Sadly, I’m guessing most of us will fall on the Life side of this continuum. If you’re juggling two jobs, four kids, needy pets and a wife that’s regularly out of town on business, then maybe highvolume marathon training isn’t in the cards at this point in your life. Be honest with yourself—don’t commit to four months of six-days-a-week training if you know you can’t manage that kind of time obligation. That will just lead to disappointment; likely even before you hit the start line, but definitely on the race course itself.
Hometown Race or Destination Running While I’m a huge fan of racing while on the road, it’s challenging to run fast away from home. Here are just a few of the hurdles: jet lag, unfamiliar food and water, strange beds and sleeping hours, unfamiliar weather and race courses. So please enjoy your race on the road, just don’t expect a PR. If you’re looking to run fast, stay close to home. It’s amazing what an extra hour in your own bed will do for your race performance.
Race Success vs. Something New Should you continue to concentrate on your sport and improve, even if it takes years and years of monotonous training and effort? It’s not an easy decision. Some runners qualify for the Boston Marathon on their first try, others struggle, and fail, race after race and year after year. Fighting through adversity and finally reaching a lifetime goal is an extraordinary achievement but it comes with a flip side. Unless you enjoy the process, that is, the actual training and racing while potentially not hitting your goal, then maybe you should give a little time for something new. Make a complete break

for a while—try cyclocross racing for a season or concentrate on sprint triathlons, which require little running training. Who knows, it may rekindle your fire to hit your running goals again or it might just introduce you to a new sport that you love even more! Study all your options and write down a list of your running preferences. Once you’re done with your homework, look over all of your answers. Some may not mesh well with others. That’s fine, put them in the order of importance to you and weigh them appropriately. When you have a feel for the race you’re looking for, scour the web for races. Don’t rush it—find a few possibilities and look up online race reviews. Give the race director a call if you have questions. Ask members of a local running club what they think of the race. Pick a race far enough into the future to get a solid training base. Commit to your training. Make that next race count. •
Destination: Bend, Oregon For All Seasons and Outdoor Enthusiasts SHANNAH WERNER
Professional runner, Lauren Fleshman, described Bend as “an outdoor playground that would take a lifetime to explore fully.” Cynthia Engel, Event Director for Lay It Out Events said, “The single track trails are stunning both winter and summer… the smells of sage and ponderosa, the mountains, lakes, waterfalls and pine needle-padded trails are difficult to match.” And, according to Tawna Fenske, Communications and PR Director for Visit Bend, “Bend has been dubbed ‘the outdoor playground of the west’ for a million good reasons… World-renowned rock climbing at Smith Rock, the hiking, biking and skiing in the Cascade Mountains, the blue-ribbon fly fishing on the myriad of area trout streams, the trail running on Bend’s cutting-edge Urban Trail System, or simply enjoying the vibrant energy of a hip, cosmopolitan mountain town, people from around the world visit Bend to get outside and to be inspired by the Bend lifestyle.” For those reasons and many more, Bend, Oregon, on the eastern

slopes of the Central Oregon Cascade mountain range has become home to 80,000+ residents. Professional triathletes like Jesse Thomas, Heather Jackson, Matt Lieto, world class runners such as Max King and Lauren Fleshman and national champion mountain bikers Adam Craig and Carl Decker all live and train in Bend because of its attractive climate, trail systems, natural beauty, and more. “I can’t speak for everyone else but the family-oriented community, the quality, quantity, and variety of the trails, the local culture of art, music, and beer, and the overall Bend attitude to live a high quality life is what attracts me to Bend,” explained Fleshman, who is a two-time USA Champion in the 5K. Whether you are a novice or a professional, there are events for everyone in Bend. Starting in January, snow-sport enthusiasts can hit the slopes at or around Mt. Bachelor (9,068 feet) for snowboarding and alpine competitions, as well as snowshoe and nordic skiing races. Only 20 minutes from town, Mt. Bachelor and the surrounding Deschutes National Forest and Three Sisters Wilderness offer
CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: Bend hosted the 2013 USATF Club Cross Country National Championships in December 2013. The event was a huge success and is just one of the many races that have helped put this rapidly growing town on the map as an endurance sports destination — not only to recreate, but in which to live. PHOTO: BROFOTO The Cascade Lakes Highway is one of the hidden gems of the Northwest. Closed during the winter time due to snowfall, this mountainous route opens around Memorial Day each year and serves up some of the most spectacular riding found on the planet.

Several of the country’s top riders in the sport call Bend home, and the town also hosts several high profile races each season.

year-round adventures for hikers, mountain bikers, skiers, snowshoers, backcountry skiers and more. As the snow thaws and the temperatures warm up, the running events kick off in town and from March through November, visitors and locals are hard-pressed to find a weekend without an event to participate in. “Bend plays host to a plethora of festivals and events throughout the year,” said Fenske. “First Friday Art Walks take place year-round in Downtown Bend. Each February, the Old Mill District offers Bend WinterFest, which features events ranging from ice sculpture carving to wine walks to competitive snow sports. The Earth Day Fair and Parade takes place each April, while Pole Pedal Paddle dominates in May. Free Saturday markets and a huge array of outdoor concerts round out the summer months from Memorial Day through October.”
Engel’s company, Lay It Out Events (LIOE), not only puts on many of the various festivals each year (Bend Winterfest, Balloons over Bend, Little Woody Barrel-Aged Beer and Whiskey Festival to name a few), but it also stages the Happy Girls Race Series in Bend (5K, Half Marathon and relay and 10K) and Sisters (trail Half Marathon and 5K). “The Happy Girls Race Series are fun for a girl’s weekend,” said Engle. “With a half marathon, 10K and 5K option, they are recognized for their lighthearted ambiance, fun courses and festive pre/ post-race parties (when the weather cooperates)!” Trail running is immensely popular and the Horse Butte 10-Miler in April, the Footzone Dirty Half in June and the Flagline Half Marathon in September are some of the favorite races off the road. “They are all events that are representative of and unique to Central Oregon,” said Teague Hatfield, owner of Footzone and Outside In in downtown Bend. “The Dirty Half in particular is in its 13th year, was the 1st trail half marathon we’d ever heard of, and has always given every dollar to help preserve open space. Plus, Deschutes brews a special “Down and Dirty IPA” in honor of the race.” The Cascade Lakes Relay in August boasts an increase in numbers every year since its inaugural event in 2008. Starting at Diamond Lake, the course takes teams of runners 216.6 miles passing lakes, mountains and rivers and then descending from Mt. Bachelor into Bend for a post-race party.

Weather in Bend is typical of high desert regions with snow in the winter and hot summer days and cool nights.

or as a volunteer. You can’t help but hear people talking about it the week leading up to the event. It brings so much positive energy to the town.” Participants (teams, pairs, individuals) start at Mt. Bachelor and race down a slalom course on soft spring snow followed by a quick transition from downhill skis to Nordic skis for an 8K course on the Nordic trails. After the Nordic leg, participants hop onto bikes and pedal (although, it’s a lot of coasting) downhill (not really, as most PPP veterans will tell you) 23 miles from Bachelor to Riverbend Park on the Deschutes River. Finally, a five-mile run along the river, a paddle (stand-up, kayak, canoe) with and against the current on the river as it winds through the Old Mill, and a quarter-mile sprint to the finish line in the Les Schwab Amphitheatre makes the beer from the local breweries all the more refreshing at the end. At the end of July, the Deschutes Dash Multi-Sport Weekend, also put on by LIOE, showcases more than 1200 triathletes and duathletes participating in everything from Olympic Triathlon/Duathlon distances to just a 5K run or a Youth Triathlon. Bend has also made a name for itself in the national road biking community. “Bend has become known as ‘BikeTown USA’ after hosting nine national cycling championships with USA Cycling over the last four years,” said Fenske. “Prior to this, no city had ever been awarded two USA Cycling National Championships in the same year.” For a little more thrill and adventure, visitors to Bend and locals take advantage of the thousands of mountain biking trails in the area. Earnestly maintained, modified and expanded by the Central Oregon Trail Alliance (COTA), the Bend trail systems get heavy usage once the snow melts by trail runners and mountain bikers. “It (Bend) has hands down the most miles of the best maintained trails almost anywhere,” said Fleshman’s husband and professional Triathlete, Jesse Thomas. “If you love exploring thousands of miles of trails within 20 minutes of your door, this is where it’s at.” Fleshman and Thomas started Picky Bars, a company that makes all-natural bars that are gluten and dairy-free. After a long day of skiing, biking, running, paddling, fishing, climbing, hiking or doing any other activity the area has to offer, the multitude of local breweries and restaurants provide tasty fuel for the next day.

PATAGONIA: EVERLONG Just the name Patagonia evokes notions of comfy apparel and performance outerwear for many. Although Patagonia has been in the running footwear business for several years, it’s not until only recently that they have brought to market a shoe that could be a game changer for this outerwear juggernaut. The EVERlong was designed with a great deal of input from Oregon-based ultra runner Jeff Browning who is sponsored by Patagonia, happens to write for RaceCenter, and is our art director (yep, he’s got a full plate). Over the course of two years, Browning and the team at Patagonia created the EVERlong which is quickly becoming a go-to favorite in our quiver of running shoes. The supple mesh upper of this shoe feels “barely there” and the neutral ride on an 8.4-ounce frame provides adequate cushioning in a lightweight package. It’s billed as a trail-specific shoe, but rides well on paved surfaces as well. Hats off to Jeff (aka Bronco Billy) for his work on the EVERlong — we like it a lot.

SWIFTWICK: SUSTAIN SOCKS Great fit and compression found throughout this line of made-in-the-USA socks make Swiftwick’s SUSTAIN socks a great choice for runners and cyclists alike. These toehuggers are made from post-industrial recycled nylon which ticks one more box for us. Notable is the fact that Swiftwick guarantees their socks to be “the best performance product you have ever worn.” If you don’t agree, they will send you a replacement pair from another manufacturer of your choice.

GARMIN: VECTOR The Vector by Garmin has to be one of the coolest power meters to hit the market. Anyone who has had the opportunity to train with a power meter knows that they can be extremely useful tools when it comes to building fitness on the bike. But until recently, most power meters were either built into crank arms or rear wheel hubs. If you own more than one bike (i.e. race bike) or a set of race wheels then you likely train with power and race without it. Garmin Vector is a pedal-based power meter, enabling the user to move the system from one bike to the next in just a few minutes. It’s ANT+ compatible so it will work with a myriad of head units (Garmin 810 is our favorite). 175 hours of active cycling operation are sourced from a small, 2032 coin cell battery that’s extremely easy to swap out — another plus compared to other meters we’ve tried. If you’re in the market for a power meter the Garmin Vector ticks all the boxes

LIFEPROOF: NÜÜD IPHONE CASE The LifeProof nüüd iPhone Case has been a nice upgrade from the Ziploc bag I’ve used to “protect” my phone during bike rides over the past several years. The nearly bomb-proof enclosure wraps around the face of the phone and creates a water-tight seal between the phone’s glass screen and the case, which LifeProof has dubbed “screenless technology.” If you’re worried about scratching the glass on your device, they even provide an optional scratch protector that can be applied after the phone is sealed in the case. LifeProof also offers similar cases for the iPad, iPod and Galaxy smartphones, plus a bike handlebar mount for their phone products.

SMITH OPTICS: PIVLOCK V2 MAX The PivLock V2 Max glasses yield a massive field of vision and maximum protection due to the large surface area of the shield. These shades come with three interchangeable lenses and a three-way adjustable nosepiece. Changing lenses is a snap (literally) and simply involves decoupling the temples and nosepiece from one set to the next, which takes about 30 seconds. The PivLock V2 Max glasses are lightweight, comfortable and versatile and come with a lifetime warranty from our friends at Smith over in Idaho.

WD-40 BIKE: FOAMING WASH This well-known brand has gotten into the bike business in a major way with a complete lineup of bike-specific products. We used the WD-40 Foaming Wash all summer and into the fall cyclocross season and loved the stuff. It does exactly what the name suggests. If foams. It washes, and it does both very effectively. If you’ve spent an entire paycheck on a bicycle, or even a modest portion of your earnings on a steed, then WD-40 Bike Foaming Wash is an inexpensive tool you should have around. Check out their complete lineup of bike maintenance essentials on their website.

BROOKS: NIGHTIFE INFINITI ½ ZIP I have yet to meet an item of the Brooks apparel line I didn’t like and the Nightlife Infiniti 1/2 Zip falls in line with the other great pieces from their running collection. Dubbed as a mid-layer piece this long-sleeved top boasts a nine-inch zipper, thumbholes and a hidden pocket under the left arm that zips closed. The garment also boasts reflective piping and comes in several bright colors which make it highly visible and great for running in the dark hours of the day or the dark days of the Northwest winter.

2014 TRI NORTHWEST TRIATHLON AND DUATHLON RANKING CRITERIA
The TRI NorthWest Rankings are compiled by AA Sports, Ltd. and published by RaceCenter NW and TRI NorthWest. These rankings are meant for all multisport in the region, and it is not a requirement of the athlete to be an annual member of TRI NorthWest in order to be included in the rankings. At AA Sports, Ltd. and RaceCenter NW we want to do our part in giving something back to the multisport community that we love, and we wish the best for all of the athletes of the Northwest in the year ahead.
