Boxers or Briefs?

oes he wear boxers or briefs? Did Lance dope or didn’t he? Does the answer to either question matter? Do we really care? “There comes a point in every man’s life when he has to say, “Enough is enough.” For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a two-year federal criminal investigation followed by Travis Tygart’s unconstitutional witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for our foundation and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense.” “…Today I turn the page. I will no longer address this issue, regardless of the circumstances. I will commit myself to the work I began before ever winning a single Tour de France title: serving people and families affected by cancer, especially those in underserved communities.” —Lance Armstrong, August 23 public statement. I wrote about Lance last fall after he raced the Urban Dirt Triathlon at Tempe Town Lake and mentioned my first encounter in 1992. Team Motorola was in Phoenix to introduce that year’s members to the world. On a small group ride, Lance dropped back to pull me up to the pack when I had fallen off. Being transparent here, I have been a fan ever since. Lance and I took up the sport of cycling about the same time in the mid 80’s, so the question of his alleged use has been posed to me often. I felt I would be remiss if I did not cover the recent news. Anyone with Lance’s ability, talents and performance record are subject to

microscopic scrutiny, no matter what the sport or occupation. That is a shame. Lance has been a top performer from the get-go as a teenage triathlete, turning pro at 16. His maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), a measure of aerobic endurance fitness at 84% ranks among the top. A high VO2 is more a given at birth than acquired through activity. In October 1996 he was diagnosed as having testicular cancer and survived a tumor that had metastasized to his brain and lungs. Most of us have witnessed the devastation cancer and chemotherapy causes. Today, how many people survive brain and lung metastasis? I believe Lance’s greatest sports performance enhancing drug he ever took was beating death and surviving cancer. I am betting he acquired a super human inner strength and a keen sense of purpose. Put it all in perspective. You are climbing L’Alpe d’Huez, riding amongst the best in the world. Death has knocked on your door before, you know what it looks like. Why wouldn’t you give that race 110 percent, every drop of blood you had and more? You know the chances of dying from working too hard are not likely. Earlier in this column I asked if we care. I do care that Lance changed the face of cycling, especially in this country. He attracted people to the sport, not only new riders but spectators. He inspired millions they could beat cancer and others to live a healthy life. His yellow Livestrong bands could be seen everywhere. I wore one on my ankle for two years. Lance’s Livestrong Foundation has raised more than $470 million in the last 15 years. Medals or no medals the USADA can’t take that away from him. I applaud Lance for not wasting any more time or taxpayer dollars. And not surprising, donations spiked upon his announcement of moving on. So the next time anyone asks me about the doping allegations I will politely respond with “Does he wear boxers or briefs?”

HITS Triathlon Series

Whether you are a seasoned multisport athlete or new to triathlon, you will want to put the HITs Triathlon Series, November 10-11, on your agenda. This national series offers a complete range of distances from sprint to the full monty of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and a 26.2 run and everything in between. And they have chosen the historic London Bridge in Lake Havasu City as their venue centerpiece. The Havasu race courses are wrapped around this desert community. You swim in the 45-mile long Lake Havasu, formed by Parker Dam on the Colorado River. The bike loops up and around the ancient walls of red mountain sides and the run traverses over the famous London Bridge and back for the victory. Half and full distance events take place on Saturday, with the shorter races on Sunday. To register and learn more visit hitstriathlonseries.com.

Rock’n the Valley for 10 Years Time does fly. The Rock N’ Roll Marathon & 1/2 Marathon Arizona will be celebrating 10 years on January 20, 2013. You will want to be part of the celebrating. When the event landed in Phoenix it started a wave of healthy changes in the community and the running community worldwide. Locally more people, most specifically women, started running and walking more. Companies and organizations encouraged participation to get fit while many others raised funds and awareness for charity. One of the ways race organizers are celebrating this anniversary is with a special Lucky 13 registration promotion. On the 13th of every month all participants who register to run the full or half marathon will receive a

After 17 years of working with large corporations and protecting the assets of rich guys, Matt Savidge decided it was time to help other people. Savidge started biking when he first moved to Phoenix. He felt it changed his life for the better. “I wanted to help others do that too (it even helped him meet his wife Celia),” said Savidge. “That is also part of the reason we are selling used and consigned equipment. We’ll be able to help people who might not otherwise be able to afford new equipment to get into a new sport. We’ll also be able to help people who might just want to try out a sport without fully committing the thousands of dollars they otherwise might have to commit on a sport they aren’t sure they’ll love...yet.” Salvation Outdoor (SO) was created with many purposes in mind driven by a desire to support sustainability in the community and in people’s lifestyles. Celia is currently pursuing her Master’s Degree in Sustainability at NAU. While their large products (bikes, kayaks, large packs, tents) will be primarily on consignment, many new products will be offered. The majority of the accessories, that includes parts, tubes, commuting gear, tires, lights and helmets will all be new. Matt is a recent UBI Professional Repair and Shop graduate. Initially they will offer basic repairs and adjustments and expand to a full spectrum of services. Salvation Outdoor is located at 3131 E. Thunderbird Rd, Suite 9 (SW corner of 32nd St. and Thunderbird, next to Subway) in Phoenix. For more information, call 602-493-0037.

Phoenix City Councilman Tom Simplot wants to invite bicycle enthusiasts – and those who have been thinking about getting back on the bike – to join him for a cool, two-wheel adventure from Central Phoenix to Tempe. A collaboration between the City of Phoenix, the City of Tempe and METRO Light Rail, encourages safe bike riding as an alternative mode of transportation between the two cities. The ride begins and ends at Light Rail stations for those who choose to incorporate light rail into the ride. The event also encourages the proper use of reflective gear and bike helmets. “Bicycle riding is enjoying a renaissance in the country and the Valley, and I hope this event will encourage people to get back on the bike,” said Councilman Simplot. “It’s a great way to meet your neighbors, get a little exercise and reduce your carbon foot print.” The event begins at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 14, at Slippery Pig Bike Shop, 4412 N. Central Ave. The bike route will follow the Grand Canal through Phoenix and into Tempe, ended at the Tempe Transportation Center. For more information, contact 602-262-7447 or council. district.4@phoenix.gov.

Safer Cleaning

We all know cleaning is a chore that just has to get done - but why does picking a safer cleaning product also have to be a burden? The scary fact is, ingredient labels aren’t mandatory for cleaning products. Some companies don’t list anything, while others list just one or two ingredients or use vague terms. No one is making sure these products are safe for you and your family, so Environmental Working Group, known for their Skin Deep cosmetic database went to work on household cleaners. EWG’s 2012 Guide to Healthy Cleaning rates more than 2,000 household cleaning products for toxicity and disclosure. It is no surprise there are dangerous ingredients lurking in cleaning products - some known to harm the lungs, trigger asthma or are linked to cancer. What may surprise you is how few good options you have. The good news is, EWG wants to give you information you won’t necessarily find on labels. They have worked hard to ferret out products that that meet their high standards For more than a year, their staff scientists scoured the labels and websites of thousands of products to compile a wide-ranging list of chemicals in household cleaners. We’ve conducted extensive scientific reviews of these substances. They built a grading system that looked at both the toxicity of a product’s contents but also the transparency of its labeling. Visit ewg.org/ guides/cleaners to view the list of products and their rankings. Thanks to EWG’s Guide to Healthy Cleaning, you can sidestep the worst products out there and reduce the number of harmful chemicals to which you might otherwise be exposed. It is one less chore for you to worry about when cleaning your home. EWG thinks you have the right to know what’s in the sprays and scrubs you use at home. Their new guide makes shopping smart easier.

Wild Films

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival returns and adds a second stop to their tour this year. The first takes place September 21 in Prescott and lands in Phoenix on October 6. This year the festival is pleased to screen two local films. Viva la Verde! explores the Verde River, which provides a ribbon of life through the harsh desert, forming an important and rare ecosystem. The Last of the Great Unknown, is an award-winning documentary that showcases the Grand Canyon’s secret and intimate drainages rarely visited by man and the canyoneers who systematically explored these harrowing slots— often risking their lives to bring to light some of the Canyon’s most remarkable features. The goal of the festival is to provide an evening of inspiring and educational films that aim to build a groundswell of environmental interest and motivate people to make a difference in our urban community. The theme and purpose for this year’s festival is exploration and stewardship of Arizona’s wild places. To see all the films offered visit azwild.org.

October 7 Four Peaks Brewing Urban Dirt Triathlon The local Four Peaks Brewing Urban Dirt Triathlon became a must do after Lance Armstrong rocked it and gave the event a thumb up. The race returns to the North Shore of Tempe Town Lake on October 7 with a 750 meter swim. Then athletes ride two loops on a 6.6 mile dirt trail. The bike course has some flat and fast riding. Athletes finish with a 3.1 mile run over trails in Papago Park littered with hills, single track, rocks and sand. The reward for hard work is a Slip-NSlide finish that even Lance opted for. New this year, the dirt tri starts at 11: a.m. Red Rock Co. encourages spectators to be parked by 11:15 a.m. under the 202 along Lake View Drive and Mill Avenue. Then spectators can walk to the site. The dirty fun will be followed by the Four Peaks Brewing Beer Garden. Red Rock Co. will be hosting two pre-rides and runs before the event. Consider it a pre-party. For more info see redrockco.com.

Wildskins for Function and Fashion Flying with Gargoyles Again

In the 80s, Gargoyle sunglasses revolutionized the industry with polycarbonate toric lens, a technology that delivers up to 210 degrees of seamless, impact-resistant, crystal-clear optics. The lightweight but durable eyewear dominated volleyball courts and other sports plus was the first consumer brand to meet US Special Forces standards. The Classic model worn by Arnold in “The Terminator” is still a best seller, joined by many new styles and models developed for specific sports. My favorite pair disappeared on a camping trip and I began to wear some designer hand-me-downs from my trend conscious sister Jude. This summer, when I got my hands on the new Gargoyles Primer sunglasses, I remembered why I love this brand – clearer vision, blocks all the nasty sun rays, incredibly lightweight, looks good and really, really durable, even for someone as tough on stuff as I am. The $110 retail tag is more than worth it with the thousands of wears you’ll be getting from each pair. Find the Primer in three colors. See the entire line at gargoyleseyewear.com and better eyewear retailers.

When you find body gear that looks kewl and has a worthy function – wear it. Wildskins are arm warmers that go from the biceps down to the hands with a thumb hole for a tight fit. They are made of stretch nylon spandex and have a pocket to stash a key, credit card, cash or ID. They come in fun, funky designs like dotty, hula girl, garden goddess and more. You can roll them down a bit if you get warm and they are great for reducing sun exposure. In addition to wearing them hiking and at the gym, the bright green garden goddess are so geek chic that SWEAT’s editor has been seen sporting them at happy hours and outdoor festivals. Priced at $19.50, find all the fashioniste choices at Wildskinsco.com.

Pain Relief Patch When we ache, most Americans turn to pills that potentially can damage the tummy as well as the liver and other organs not to mention those pesky ODs. The European-preferred topical pain relief, such as found in patches, creams, foams and sprays, has spread across the pond via Salonpas. You’ve seen the TV ads

GO PLAY ISSUE 2012

stating the product line is the first and only FDA-approved OTC pain relieving patches using new ultra-thin Comfort Stretch technology that provides effective pain relief for up to 12 hours. SWEAT tried the Salonpas Pain Relief Patch, Arthritis Patch, the massage foam and spray. As skeptical as we are, we found the products work pretty well. Menthol is a key ingredient so they smell like most athletic rubs but they weren’t greasy and the scent was light. After doing some heavy lifting, a friend of the magazine popped on a back patch and said she had a night free of back pain, which was rare for her under normal circumstances, and the patch stayed on all night. The gel patch has capsaicin, as in hot chili peppers, which seems to provide an extra depth of relief. If you have chronic aches or a big race in the future, you can pick some up at any major grocery or drug store. Get more info at salonpas.us

Colorado River Nearest Town: Page, Bullhead City, Lake Havasu City, Yuma The grand-daddy of places to play, The Colorado River is a must. Lots of options abound on one of the principal rivers of the southwestern United States and northwest Mexico. The 1,450-mile river flows through seven U.S. and two Mexican states. The most famous expanse is through the Grand Canyon. It originates at La Poudre Pass in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains at an elevation 10,184 feet. Through the floor of the canyon, elevation drops to 2500 feet. It’s sea level by the time it empties into the Gulf of California, at the Colorado River Delta, Baja California, Sonora, Mexico. There are waiting lists for week long rafting trips. The hiking and exploring through the rugged Canyon is nothing short of amazing. Plunging into beautiful icy cold aquamarine water as you trek from the North to South Rim of the Grand Canyon can’t be beat. Though beyond the Canyon walls, you will find every water activity imaginable somewhere along the shores of this great river.

Lake Mojave Nearest Town: Bullhead City Lake Mojave is a surprising find just north of the hot and arid cities of Bullhead City and Laughlin, Nev. It is hidden behind tall canyon walls behind Davis Dam. It is part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area administered by the National Park Service. The habitat for fish and wildlife also captures and delays the discharge of flash floods from side washes below Hoover Dam. You will find tons of secluded beaches and coves only accessible by boat.

By Dr. Phil Maffetone

he lead story in this morning’s Sports Illustrated online began, “Almost every dominant performance in London has raised eyebrows, if not questions. These are today’s Olympics.” While the article went on to discuss the unhealthy issue of doping in sports, those two simple sentences brought to mind an even more serious and greater common problem. Hundreds of millions of people around the world watched the London 2012 Olympic Games on TV. They saw some great performances, heart-breaking disappointments, and far too much advertising for junk food. Certainly, junk food has contributed not only to the worldwide obesity epidemic, but heart disease and other illnesses. But now, after years in the making, it’s finally being recognized that it’s not only couch potatoes who are getting unhealthy, it’s athletes too. The growing awareness includes athletes on all levels, including Olympians. Two conditions dominate: debilitating diseases referred to as chronic (meaning they’ve been simmering in an unhealthy body for years), and also, the real but sensitive issue of too much body fat. There's a giant McDonald's in the heart of London's Olympic Park—in fact, it's the world's largest McDonald's and can seat 1,500. The golden arches and Olympic gold seem to go hand in hand, and hardly anyone cares. Once the Games are over, the McDonald's will be torn down, but not before serving 3,000,000 people. And what is the message being sent to athletes as well? That you can be fit but also unhealthy? In the 2007 U.S. marathon trials, Ryan Shay, one of America’s best and a favorite for the Olympic team, collapsed and died about five miles into the race. It was sad, of course, any way we look at it. Ryan had a heart attack. But why were so many people confused about the death of such a great athlete at age 28, New York City’s Chief Medical Examiner, who added to the confusion with his report, said the cause of Shay’s death was, “cardiac arrhythmia due to cardiac hypertrophy with patchy fibrosis of undetermined etiology. Natural causes.” Natural causes? There’s nothing natural about a young, very fit athlete whose heart stops during competition. Today, news reports of athletes dying in the course of competition are not uncommon. (Tragically, a 42-year old male competitor died in the first-ever New York City Ironman triathlon on August 10th after suffering a heart attack during the 2.4-mile swim section in the Hudson River that also was the scene of a massive sewage spill earlier in the week.) While we take physical injury and

22 SWEAT magazine

health risks as an intrinsic element of participatory sports, we’re bewildered when a seemingly healthy and young athlete drops dead. But healthy people don’t have heart attacks. Alberto Salazar, currently a distance coach for Nike and former national and world champion from 5K to the marathon, was moments away from death when his heart attack hit at 48 years young. Salazar asked his cardiologist, Todd Caulfield, MD, Provident St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon, to speak publicly about his condition, which included previous medications for high blood pressure and cholesterol, which could not prevent the heart attack. I mean no harm to Salazar, who is a great guy. And two of his athletes won gold and silver in the 10,000-meter event in London— England’s Mo Farah and America’s Galen Rupp finishing first and second, respectively, with Farah also winning gold in the 5,000. Hank Gathers, Jim Fixx, and many other very fit athletes from amateurs to professionals in all sports, and too many more whose names are not popular, have died or came close to death during training and competition. In most cases, their conditions were preventable. In active individuals, prevention of heart disease, which is commonly accompanied by high blood fats and hypertension, is primarily accomplished by a healthy diet. The Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) list four habits that cause preventable conditions such as heart disease: smoking, inactivity, alcohol abuse, and diet. While most athletes don’t have problems with the first three, they do have very poor eating habits. (I’ve performed thousands of computerized dietary assessments in athletes throughout my career.) But a serious problem is brewing. Is the world accepting of fit athletes dying at young ages? After all, in non-contact sports such as running, cycling, triathlon and others, injuries are now considered part of the game. Overtraining may be the most common cause of chronic injuries, and not just physical impairments but those of a chemical nature (such as fatigue) and mental ones (depression).

The very companies that sponsor the Olympics are doing a lot of the dirty work. As great as many athletes may be, reductions in their health will also impair their performance to some degree. As American sprinter Manteo Mitchell got midway through the start of the 400-meter relay, he felt, and heard, his leg crack. But he could not stop, sprinting the best he could to finish his part of the relay, enabling the American team to finish second and move on to the finals (where they would get a silver medal without Mitchell). A victory, no doubt, and an incredibly courageous effort by a young Olympian. Gutsy, heroic, and moments the Olympic Game’s are often remembered for. Afterwards Mitchell would find out the bone on the outside of his leg (the fibia) had fractured. Without discounting Mitchell’s valor, I can’t help but think of something even more unsettling—why would a young, super-fit athlete’s bone fracture during a short running event? Mitchell thought that perhaps his misstep while walking the stairs a few days earlier caused it. But leading up to the race, including his warm up, he ran without any problem. Bones don’t just break, especially in a young athlete, without some physiologic reason. It could from muscle or hormone imbalance or other causes, but most likely due to some health problem contributing to a weak bone in a fit body. Looking at the broader picture, a much more sensitive and equally serious issue is that the "fat fallout" from the worldwide obesity epidemic has reached the athletic community. Perhaps for the first time, this Olympics has spawned a few controversial articles about overweight competitors, bringing to light the reality that fit but overfat athletes do exist.

GO PLAY ISSUE 2012

www.sweatmagazine.com

Certainly those of us, like myself, who have worked with athletes for many years have seen this problem brewing for decades. The question will be whether the weekend warrior and recreational runners will accept this overfat state. While some athletes clearly have too much body fat—you can see it, and it’s also been measured—others who appear slim have their fat elsewhere. Salazar is not an unusual case—some of his arteries were 80 percent clogged with fat. I wish I could help. But I’m just a David among Goliath corporations—deep-pocketed gargantuans whose goals are to make the entire world fat. And they’re exploiting athletes to help their propaganda succeed. Case in point: Coke celebrated the 2012 Olympics with specially marked cans. By the way, that's 8 teaspoons of sugar for each 12-oz serving. A key message of soft drink and junk food companies is that sugar—one of the main causes of the overfat epidemic—is good for everyone. As an athlete, you might even believe it can help with energy. But the fact is, 40 to 50 percent of the sugar one eats, athlete or not, turns to fat and goes into the body’s storage spaces. In doing so, it can raise blood fats, contribute to hypertension and increase the risk of death from heart disease. Moreover, it can impair energy regulation. Refined sugar intake can increase the body’s production of insulin, which, among other problems, can reduce the amount of fat burned during exercise. While the body burns both sugar and fat calories for energy, the proper balance of these fuels is important for weight control and overall health—and athletic proficiency. The very companies that sponsor the Olympics are doing a lot of the dirty work. McDonald’s and Coca-Cola are banking on the fact that their Olympic marketing campaigns have been highly successful—especially with children and teens who, these companies hope, will become lifelong customers.

The same marketing tactics were used by cigarette brand Virginia Slims. The cigarette company sponsored athletic events— not just tennis but even a New York City 10K running race—for years before lawsuits prevented tobacco companies from advertising in print, TV and radio. Is there anyone (besides Big Tobacco) that can’t see the conflict of interest here? The conflict of interest is just as obvious in companies that advertise sugar-laden soft drinks and other junk food during the Olympics. But the level of acceptance with these unhealthy food products is not yet like that of tobacco. Society cannot keep avoiding the obvious and continue allowing companies to reap financial benefits by selling harmful products—the very foods that significantly contribute to heart disease and other deadly conditions—while portraying slim, healthy-looking individuals using the products. In the 1950s, doctors were seen in magazine print ads claiming that smoking cigarettes was actually good for you. It’s not a stretch, but imagine the Mexican drug cartel or the Russian mafia vying for an Olympic sponsorship. I could see the ads; “Our products are 100 percent natural—we guarantee it!” Or, “when your bank says ‘no’ we will lend you money in a heartbeat—no credit, no problem.” This is not all that farfetched. I could also imagine the outcry. But the cries about junk food are only starting to be heard. While society has accepted Coke and McDonald’s, and the hundreds of other companies making deadly products, there may be hope. A movement has been underway by people who want to ban the sale of unhealthy products in places like schools, cities and even countries. In the meantime, prime time TV will continue portraying athletes who are fit, not necessarily healthy, while, unfortunately, more athletes will die an untimely death, typically from a preventable conditions.

Smoothly make SmoothieS by SUE BERLINER

or the past five years I begin most days with a power smoothie. It gives me a chance to get good start on my daily dose of fruits and vegetables. This is a primer on what to include so you can create combos you will like. I lean towards fruit smoothies (and juice veggies) but utilize veggies and greens in many of my combinations depending on what I have on hand. My smoothies are dairy free, soy free, gluten free, vegan and have no refined sugar. Don’t be afraid to experiment. If you are watching calories, skip bananas and sweeteners except stevia but don’t exclude the healthy fats. Add volume with greens, cucumbers or celery.

Fats

Avocado – Healthy fat, thickens and provides a creamy smooth texture. No more than half a medium avocado. Coconut oil – Healthy fat, nice taste and thickening Udo’s Oil/hemp seed oil – Healthy fats.

Fruits

Apples – Sweetener, thickener. More water, volume and lower sugar than a banana. Organic is a must. Banana – Sweetener, thickener. ½ a banana will add sweetness without overpowering the flavor. Berries – Antioxidant rich. Berries tend to cover mix-ins the best. Please use organic. Costco offers a great organic blend of frozen berries. Cacao powder – The Cacao pod is actually a fruit. Cacao powder is a nice source of protein and rich in antioxidants. Approximately 3 TBSP cacao powder, ½ an avocado, 8-12 oz. coconut water, 4 oz. coconut milk, 1TBS oil, 1 TBSP honey, mix-ins and ice.Will taste like dessert but so good for you. Citrus – Peel the skin and use the whole fruit. For extra zip, zest, the rind or save for a salad dressing. Seedless grapes – These blend well with most anything and take on the flavor of stronger tasting fruits like berries. They provide hydration and sweetness. Peaches – Very refreshing taste blends well with oranges and pears. Pears – Provide thickness, sweetness and body. It takes on the taste of other fruits. Kiwis – Provide tang and are rich in Vitamin C.

24 SWEAT magazine

Blend two sans the skin with a pear, lime juice, honey and ice for a quick and easy smoothie. Melons – Very hydrating and restorative. More beverage like than smoothie like when you blend several varieties. Pineapple – fresh or frozen. Great sweetener and neutralizes the taste of greens. Young coconut meat – Thickener, mild taste. Preferred over the unsweetened coconut milk beverages but takes more time to prepare and use.

Veggies/Greens

A little green goes a long way to neutralize the fruit sugars and minimizes blood sugar spikes. They also produce a slight caffeine like lift in the morning. Celery – Naturally occurring sodium helps keeps electrolytes in balance, adds water and bulk. One stalk is enough. Cucumbers – Super hydrating, healing and refreshing. Use half a medium cucumber. If organic no need to peel the skin Kale, beet greens, spinach – Nutrient dense. Blend a loose packed cup with 2 cups berries and you won’t even notice they are there. Purslane – Also known as Verdolaga is loaded with calcium, potassium, omega 3 oils. It’s a powerhouse with restorative qualities and mild taste, add in a half a cup. While this weed grows wild, you may find it with local farmers and not at your grocer.

Liquids

Coconut water – (fresh or unsweetened in boxes or cans.). Preference is fresh cracked young coconut for taste and nutrition, but it is extra work. Not a strong flavor, 8-12 ounces provides more electrolytes than water. Almond Milk – You can make your own or buy off the shelf or in the fridge section, check the sugar contents. Coconut milk beverage – (unsweetened). Not the fatter canned coconut milk. Typically in the fridge area or on the shelf in 32 ounce cartons. Trader Joe’s unsweetened is priced the best and has a nice taste. Hemp Seed Milk – The new darling vegan beverage due to its balance of fats and 10 essential amino acids. Rice Milk – Buy off the shelf or in the fridge section, check the sugar contents.

GO PLAY ISSUE 2012

Mix ins

Chia seeds – Thickener, protein and other nutrients. It expands and becomes gelatinous when contacted with water. Neutral flavor. Sprouted brown rice protein – A great source of protein, very palatable. Hemp seed/protein powder. – More digestible than soy protein because it doesn’t contain oligosaccharides, complex sugars that can cause flatulence if not properly broken down during digestion. Maca Root – A hormone balancer for men and women with a powerful immune boosting amino acid profile. Note: I use roughly a tablespoon of each for about 20 grams of protein.Look for pure protein powders without flavors. Many contain unnecessary sugars. Spices – Cayenne, cinnamon and ginger are heart healthy and add great flavor.

Sweetener

Honey – Use raw local honey, it is thought to protect against allergies. It is not always needed, but may make the difference when blending greens. Maple Syrup – A good alternative to honey. Stevia – Liquid versions were preferred.A little goes a long way. Agave – Quite sweet, not much needed. Look for raw on the label or skip it.

Blending it up

You don’t have to buy an expensive high powered blender but it is well worth the investment. The crazy “will it blend this?” Blendtec is my equipment of choice and comes with a 7 year warranty (see blendtec. com/?affiliateid=296914). Layer your ingredients starting with the softest fruits at the bottom with the harder ones on the top. Add in your mix ins and coconut oil if using. Add in your liquids, top with ice. On a Blendtec push the smoothie or whole juice button or blend on your standard blender. For best results, freeze coconut water and your milk beverage of choice in ice cube trays and use with a little bit of liquid. Drink up!

You will see Four Peaks, the Rim, Weavers Needle and the Superstitions. A desert trail often means little to know coverage so best to run this super early during summer months.

Getting to the trailhead Head east on Shea Blvd. and turn north into Fountain Hills exiting the back side for about 4 miles until you come to the park entrance ($6 user fee per vehicle). Take the Pemberton loop turnoff and park near restrooms at bottom.

Mountain Man Olympic & Half Iron By Sue Berliner

Melanie S

A swift pass around Lake Mary.

Photo co

In its 28th year, Mountain Man Triathlon is the 5th oldest triathlon west of the Mississippi River. Traditionally it has been held in mid-July. Due to its popularity, race director Eddie Carlin split the event into two a few years ago with sprint races as a warm up in July. He offered Olympic and Half distance events in August. You would think an elevation of more than 7,000 feet would scare low landers away, but no. On August 12, about 500 multisport athletes headed to high country for cool temps and great racing. Both events started with a swim in Upper Lake Mary, followed by an out and back bike segment and finishing with an out and back run along Lake Mary. Distances for the Half and Olympic respectively were a 1.9k or 1.5k swim, 90k or 40k bike and 21k or 10k run. Erik Svans led the charge on the half with a 29:06.6 swim. On his heels wearing #1 Sarah Jarvis in 30:52.9. In the first transition Brian Folts would move from 5th to 3rd and wouldn’t take long to move into the lead with the fastest bike split of the day with a 2:24:09. Valley resident and frequent flyer at the front,

Folts, had been spending time in Colorado training at altitude. Twin brother Adam was about 8 minutes back in 6th place. After lacing his shoes, Adam cranked up the volume and put the chase on with a 1:27:51.2, the second fastest half run of the day. David Fernandez clocked 1:23:08.9 for the best time but he started the run in 113 place and moved up to 45th. He will be one to watch in the future. Brian Folts would go 1:32:09.7 for the 3rd fastest run grabbing 1st while his brother grabbed 2nd place. In the women’s race Jarvis maintained her lead, giving away less than a minute on the bike and picked up more time through transitions and on the run with the fastest women’s run in 1:49:11.2. Fountain Hills resident and masters athlete Cam Hill would lead the men’s Olympic division. A seasoned multisport veteran, Hill lead a lot in the late 80’s and early 90’s and just returned to triathlon a few years ago. Ultimately Luke MacGuire would make up a 1:45 deficit he started the run with and would overtake Hill before the finish. The closest race of the day was the Women’s Olympic race.
