Slowing Down for Confidence

O

ne minute I’m comfortably treading water and the next, a gun shot sends me into the middle of a human washing machine with arms and legs churning up the calm water. I put my face down in the water with one arm reaching forward, the other by my side. I turn my head to the side, but there’s no air and a panic attack overtakes me and I begin to hyperventilate. I flip over onto my back gasping for air and looking for a kayaker to rescue me from the nightmare.

Unfortunately, I didn’t wake up from this bad dream. It is my personal, YouTube horror repeated at all my past triathlons; seven total. My experience as a bike racer, marathon runner and duathlete did not help once I was face down in the water.

The swim panic is odd because I am very comfortable in the water. I love open water swims sans a wetsuit. There’s something so serene about the experience. And, I’ve had great coaching.

So what was the problem? Me. Before I entered the water again, this time at the June 6 Tribal Sprint, I spent some time thinking about my swim problem. I have cycled and run in hundreds of events dealing with severe weather and sports-induced asthma attacks. The light bulb came on. It was quantity that made the difference. I’ve learned through many races how to dial down or dial up my breath and efforts. Head face down in the water, not so much. Just that realization gave me some confidence.

Months ago I committed to race director David Benjes that I would do the Tribal Sprint. Less than three weeks prior to the race, I completed my annual double crossing of the Grand Canyon. My training focused on running uphill and hiking. My fitness was strong but I had about two weeks to get ready for the tri. It had been nine months since my last swim workout. So I splashed to the pool about six times and felt comfortable with the 1000-meter distance.

On June 6, race morning, I opted to ditch the wetsuit that makes me feel claustrophobic since the water temperature would be 74 to 76 degrees. My goal for the day: a swim without incident. My plan of attack: stay out of the washing machine by starting slower and picking up the pace once I was comfortable.

I ended up at the very back of the pack. The first 250 meters took me twice as long as the last 250. My plan worked.

I came out of the water feeling happy, confident and not fatigued. I quickly transitioned to the bike and finished the run.

One week later, I was back in the pool.

This time, the water felt different, a bit magical. My lap times improved by 15 percent.

What had changed was inside me: my confidence. Whether it is in life or face down in the water, sometimes we must slow down in order to move forward and keep swimming along.

Best Place to Work

Ride for Kidney Disease Awareness

Arizona-grown TriSports.com was named to Outside magazine’s second annual “Best Places to Work” list. The company, started by owners Seton and Debbie Claggett, was ranked No. 18 out of 30 selected companies and featured in the May issue of the national publication. The firm provides a comprehensive benefits package, which includes the medical, dental, 401K and profit-sharing plus a bike demo program, massages and race reimbursement.

Debbie says, “The atmosphere here is more family than workplace and everyone here is a part of everything we do. Employees are encouraged to participate in company programs including providing bicycles to underactive children to get them interested in cycling; producing the Deuces Wild Triathlon Festival and spearheading TRIFEST, a multisport expo and conference.

Because most TriSport employees bicycle commute to work, store credit is issued for every mile ridden to and from work. Another part of the company culture is the Fun Squad, which plans events to help employee comradie such sas HORSE basketball competitions, water balloon tosses and game nights.

Shad Ireland, Fresenius Medical Care dialysis patient, stopped by Phoenix in May on his 4,000 mile, cross-country tour to promote chronic kidney disease education. Starting from San Pedro, Calif., he was joined by Valley Fresenius employees and others on his spin from the medical care group’s facility in Mesa to their Apache Junction location.

Special Athletic Talents

Loser Inspiring

Tolleson elementary school teacher Kara Mumford, 26, and Kyle Mitchell, 22, have Special Olympics to thank for their meeting. The two will be paired together in the Second Annual Red Rock Sprint and Unified Triathlon on Sept. 12 benefiting Special Olympics Arizona. Mumford got involved with Special Olympics as a volunteer during high school in Michigan. Mitchell earned numerous medals over the past 10 years as a Maine SO athlete.

Mumford coaches the Surprise SO Track and Field Team and she will be paired with Mitchell for the Unified Triathlon.

The September event offers a Sprint Triathlon – 300-yard pool swim, 20k bike, 5k run and a Unified Triathlon – a super sprint relay: 50-yard pool swim, 2.5- mile bike ride and half-mile run. The relay teams triathletes with Special Olympics Arizona athletes.

“He is so proud to be participating in the triathlon,” says Mitchell’s mom, Tammi Peltier. “He is already practicing for the half-mile run and the event is not until September. He does all the summer Olympics, track and field, soccer, basketball and boccie ball. We thought nothing could compare to Maine. Our expectations were exceeded by the city of Surprise and their SO program.”

Mumford says, “I am excited to bridge the triathletes with Special Olympians. It allows you to appreciate sports more just for the enjoyment and brings you back to why you do triathlons or run.”

My name is Pete. I was looking at your latest issue [May 09] of SWEAT. Great magazine. I wanted you to know that it was an inspiration for a guy like me, who is approaching 50, to see someone like Tom Drath. After seeing how well he looked at 50, I decided to become my own “Biggest loser.” I changed my eating habits and began exercising daily. I figured if Tom could do it, so could I. Please pass on to him what an inspiration he is.

Created by the former coach of the Japanese Olympic swim team, the makers claim it creates a drop in water surface tension which causes water molecules to become more soluble, increasing cellular hydration and improved nutrient absorption. Utilizing a patented micro-filtration cartridge infused with coconut shell carbon, the 22-ounce system reduces chlorine, lead and VOCs. Priced at $49.95, the H2.0 bottle has a strap to make it easy to pack around and attach to your belt or backpack.

Recovery Tops Tri Trends

By Joan Westlake

Massage the Harmony Seeking balance is the holistic goal. Tod Miller, Ironman and founder of the BodyWalking Institute in Phoenix, says although more tri-

14 SWEAT magazine

athletes are looking for therapies before an injury, most still come limping in his door.

Once they heal, many continue regular treatments when they see they can recover from races and training faster. Some of his notable clients include Ironmen Michael Williams, Dan Cadriel and Joe Courtney.

Although BodyWalking is an ancient technique, Miller created a formalized approach to the concept. He says that it is the next level of massage, offering a much deeper and more therapeutic form of the treatment. Miller uses it in his own personal training program, which is now gearing up for the November Ironman Arizona to qualify for Kona.

Requests for BodyWalking seminars by clubs such as First Wave Triathlon and First Triathlon are evidence that triathletes are more aware of and want to know more about methods to keep them in the game.

“BodyWalking accelerates circulation, circulation in return gets out the waste products and nourishes with new blood, which helps the body recover more quickly,” he says.

“It’s about harmony and balance, not just working on the shoulder or neck or calf.”

He adds, “Dan Cadriel is a perfect example.

He was training for Soma last year. He came in after a race injured. We got him back to a healthy state and continued while he trained.

Because he’s such a race car, we tuned him up and he PR’d the race by two minutes.”

It Takes a Village As the sport of triathlon becomes more complex, so does the team that supports its athletes, according to Matt Kramer, physical therapist and athletic trainer with Endurance Rehab of Phoenix and Scottsdale.

“There’s collaboration among professionals to keep triathletes training on the razor’s edge without peaking too early or breaking prior to the race,” he explains. “We usually find ourselves in a key role. Our physical therapists work on their injuries, we look at their running gaits, we check their bike fit, and we look at areas of weakness and imbalance.

Our role is to get and keep them at a healthy performance level.”

For example, Kramer says an athlete comes in with knee or shin pain when running. The endurance staff does an in-depth evaluation including balance, strength and mechanics.

Perhaps the analysis reveals a weakness on the outside of the hips. Exercise for the hips plus flexibility training may be the solution.

Leanda Cave recovers in luxury.

Corinne Courtney

T

he triathlete’s legendary ovaries- or balls-to-the-walls attitude is pacing down as recovery becomes a training mantra. Not just recovery from injuries. The focus has shifted to prevention therapies.

“Triathlon as a sport is still very young,” says world-class triathlete Leanda Cave. “In the past, athletes were successful with just a lot of hard work. But, as the sport got older and you started to be able to make a living from it, you have to look after yourself a lot more. That is where you have to make compromises. Do you want to train yourself into the ground to get that one glorious result or do you want a successful and consistent career?”

Cave’s active recovery regime includes frequent massages, whirlpool soaks and saunas at the Hashani Spa at JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort. In her adopted hometown of Tucson, the Welsh athlete says it is more convenient to work in such treatments when they are right at the end of her Star Pass trail run or next door to her workout in the fitness center. Check out the $99 Summer Special for a massage, body or beauty treatment.

Cave says early in her career, it was just go-go-go. In 2001, she was the European under-23 champion. She took gold and the World title in Cancun in November 2002. But, by 2003, she struggled with injury and says she was frustrated with her coach who had the old-style push, push, push.

“My ‘ah ha’ moment came when I went to a camp and watched other athletes,” she explains. “They were able to not train and instead recover if they were having a tough day. I came home to my boyfriend Torsten Abel (already a renowned coach) and said he had to be my coach.”

The new approach worked and she earned her second world title in 2007 at the ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Championships in France. Moving to the states with Abel, she consistently places at the head of the pack including setting a course record this year in the 70.3 at Disney Resort in Florida.

Athletes also are readjusting their priorities. Jaci Scully, Valley personal trainer, says as her tri clients are maturing, they are going to 70.3s and other shorter distances to make time for other things in life such as having children.

Tod Miller BodyWalks Sue Meno, Hawaiian Ironman Qualifier.

Or, a physician may be called in if a bone fracture is suspected. It might be a footwear issue.

Sometimes nutrition is the focus.

Pointing out another trend, Kramer says, “The NFL players we work with all have huge rehab staffs as members of their team.

Triathletes are joining teams to have some of those same benefits. We work with several like the Phoenix Triathlon Club.”

Cool Stuff Zen or not, triathletes always look for an equipment edge. Phoenix trainer and triathlete Kim Saari and Getfit trainer and tri coach Cheryl Miller say one such trend is compression gear that helps blood flow. There are light-weight, usually white compression socks for racing and tighter black socks for recovery. They also see a lot of “bat wings” in warmer races such as at Kona. The clothing is worn across the upper back and shoulders and helps keep the racer cool.

Saari adds, “Garmin has a new GPS watch [the Forerunner 310XT] that recently came out. It is waterproof; you can swim with it while it tracks distance, speed, elevation, heart rate and more. It can wirelessly send data to your computer and holds a charge for up to 20 hours. Sweet!” S

Tri Error and

Novice Triathlete Mistakes to Avoid

By Rhona Melsky

Klutz-o-mania strikes not only mere mortals but also the best triathletes.

Especially during the novice years, embarrassment and bad choices happen.

SWEAT convinced 11 local tris to reveal some of their less-than-swift moves and offer tips on how to avoid those YouTube-bound video footage.

Use the USAT check list to make sure you bring all your equipment, arrive early and know the race course including all the transition areas.

He says his tri troubles include “making his very own course” while the rest continue on the correct path. Poor signage is the cause but he stressed that it is the athlete’s responsibility to know the correct course.

Dan Cadriel, 45, Glendale

Brinkmann started running in his teens.

He competed in 10ks until his first triathlon in 1984. This USAT All-American qualified for Triathlon Age Group World Championships in 2007 in Germany and in 2008 in British Columbia.

He points out some no-nos for race day: “Don’t wear a new pair of shoes, don’t try new equipment, don’t use goggles for the first time, don’t try new supplements,” Brinkmann says. “Don’t go without socks if you’ve never done it before.”

Cristette Cadriel

Paul Brinkmann, 50, Flagstaff

A post-college roommate got Cadriel hooked on triathlons. After 22 years, the two-time USAT All-American in 2007 and 2008 has placed overall or in his age group in many triathlon/running/endurance events and is a three-time Ironman finisher.

He warns novices about that first open water swim.

“My first wet-suit swim in 1988 was at Big Bear,” Cadriel explains. “I had a brand new wet suit, it was 7,000 feet, the water was cold and my wave had about 200 people.

I went out and hyperventilated. I completely freaked out. I thought I was drowning. I swam to the lifeguard and he said, ‘Relax, you’re just

July 09

hyperventilating. Get your breath, and when you’re ready just take off again.’ I just had to get past that.”

His advice when the freak hits: Find some open water, close your eyes, concentrate on slow breathing and let the anxiety float away.

Russell Sepulveda, 45, Phoenix The divorced father of two was out one night and met a woman who asked if he was a runner.

“Sure, I’m a runner – tonight,” Sepulveda quickly answered.

With the 2006 Timex Triathlon in Tempe approaching, she asked Sepulveda to participate. He didn’t own a bike and hated swimming, but the challenge intrigued him.

Since then, he has completed 20 triathlons ranging from sprints to half Ironmans. His first half Ironman was SOMA in Tempe Beach Park in October 2008.

Sepulveda says know the course before the race.

“At the Desert Classic Duathlon at McDowell Mountain, I missed the turnaround and started following some casual cyclists who just happened to be on the bike course,” he confesses. “After about a mile, I noticed they didn’t have any numbers on their bikes or waist. I asked them if they were

www.sweatmagazine.com

part of the race and they said, ‘What race?’

Then, I realized I better turn around.”

Robin Lorenz, 62, Cave Creek

Kim Lorenz, 54, Cave Creek As the other half of Team Lorenz, Kim, running for years to stay fit, has completed the same amount of triathlons as her husband, Robin. However, while Robin was doing his first triathlon, Kim was running the Boston Marathon.

While it’s all about fun and being fit, Kim says be prepared and have friends around.

“I did get stuck in my wet suit coming out of Lake Pleasant,” she laughs. “It was a couple years ago in a sprint. A friend of mine was standing on the sidelines and felt sorry for me. I looked like a fish lying on the ground trying to get it off. After my friend Arnie stopped laughing, he pulled it off for me.”

After running for a little more than 10 years, Bivens was looking for some cross training.

Some friends who had done The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training encouraged Bivens to participate. At 57, she did her first triathlon and kept on.

She has completed seven Ironman events and qualified for the Ironman World Championships in Kona this October, her third time competing at the World Championships.

“When the freak hits: Find some open water, close your eyes, concentrate on slow breathing and let the anxiety float away.”

When in doubt, know how to change a tire.

“I got a flat,” she says. “Someone had thrown tacks on the course and I had the longest time changing my tire. I realized that you really need to practice changing the tire… and get really good at it.”

Diane Alkins, 53, Mesa With a background in swimming, Alkins got certified in swimming and coaching in her husband’s native Canada, where they lived.

At 47, Alkins was running about three kilometers a day when two doctors’ wives encouraged her to do a sprint. She did and fell in love. To date, Alkins has completed about 52 triathlons and 10 Ironmans.

John Alkins

What do kayaking, jet skiing and jumping out of an airplane have in common? Absolutely nothing, except Konietzka has tried all three.

He started bicycle racing for knee therapy after numerous motorcycle racing crashes.

In the early 1980s, he took up triathlons as a good way to stay in shape.

The longtime teacher of triathlon classes at Glendale Community College has done more than 100 triathlons including Alcatraz and Wildflower in California.

Manessis found triathlons in 1997 by way of Mojo, a friend who dared him into ultra running.

In 2007, Manessis was ranked No. 1 in triathlons in the Southwest region for his age group after taking off two years due to injuries. He has completed 70 races, including ultra marathons and triathlons.

He confessed to having too much fun on the race course and was once known for too many wardrobe changes.

“The one that was the worst was my first race in Rocky Point in 1998,” Manessis says.

“I had a wardrobe rack. Every time I did the transition, I had a wardrobe change into whatever event was next, costing me about 10 minutes total. If it wasn’t for that, I’d have been top 10 in my triathlon.”

His advice, “The night before, get your stuff together and wear one outfit for the entire race,” Manessis says.

Mark Konietzka, 51, Phoenix

Karin Bivens, 65, Tucson

Conrad Young

Robin Lorenz was a three-season runner in high school and college. After a long hiatus, he started running with his wife, Kim. They raced together almost every weekend for five years with the Arizona Road Racers.

Then they bought bicycles and a friend suggested a triathlon in San Diego and Robin was hooked.

He has been doing triathlons for five years completing four full and many half triathlons. He says his worst triathlon mistake was at the half Ironman Sonoma in 2006.

“While coming out of T2, I had one of the volunteers holler to me, ‘Hey buddy, how about your helmet?’” Robin says. “I’m on the run coming out of T2 and had completely forgotten to take my helmet off. I was able to hand it to him and he was nice enough to put it back with my gear.”

Robin’s tip: Pay attention to what you’re doing and don’t quit.

“I’ve told my students to have two of everything,” he says. “Not two bikes, but simple things like goggles, just because they’ll break at the worst imaginable time. At Mountainman in Flagstaff, I had my second pair of goggles. Just before the swim is about to start, I was warming up and adjusting my goggles and then they break.”

Unfortunately, the spare goggles were an eighth mile away so when the gun went off, Konietzka had to enter Lake Mary without them.

“I ended up doing the race bumping into people,” he says. “I got through the swim but it was very difficult.”

“I’ve told my students to have two of everything. Not two bikes, but simple things like goggles, just because they’ll break at the worst imaginable time.”

Mark Konietzka Ironmans and five half Ironmans a year.

“At the 2009 70.3 Oceanside half Ironman event, I tripped at the finish line and literally flew through the air,” Alkins says. “Two guys came and picked me up, but I didn’t want them to pick me up. I hadn’t realized I already crossed the finish line because you can’t get any assistance.”

Julie Forsberg, 31, Scottsdale Four years ago, she joined a group of running friends when they started doing triathlons. Forsberg recently completed May’s women’s Danskin Tempe Triathlon, and has done Nathan Tempe Triathlon the past couple of years.

Her faux pas?

“It was a Splash & Dash, a swim/run, at Tempe Town Lake in 2005,” she says. “It was my very first one. I just wore a swimsuit and instead of just running in the swimsuit, I put on shorts over it. After I got out of the water, my shorts got soaked so my thighs got chafed. I was in discomfort for a couple days.

My tip is use BodyGlide or don’t put shorts over a wet bathing suit.”

Franz Rischard

Jennifer Rischard, 37, Tucson Rischard was an active child who was into sports.

She started running at 30 and began half and full marathons.

She

Join the SWEAT Club: text SWEAT to 68255

started doing triathlons with her husband.

“I thought it looked like fun, and it was something we could do together,” Rischard says.

Sponsored by Trisports.com for three years, she has completed races of all distances, including three Ironmans: New Zealand; Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; and Silverman, Nevada.

Rischard says there’s no shame in pushing your bike.

During the half Vineman in 2003 in Sonoma, which was her first long course triathlon, Rischard came right out of the first transition to mount her bike and pedal up a short, steep hill. About 60 percent of the people were pushing their bikes up the hill and mounting them at the top. She decided to be one of the top 40 percent to jump on her bike and ride uphill, even though she was still woozy from the swim.

“I jumped on my bike and didn’t even get one full pedal stroke around and I felt myself tipping over,” she says. “The next thing I knew I was lying under my bike at the feet of all the spectators.”

A little red in the face and hearing some gasps from the crowd, Rischard humbly pushed her bike up the hill. Better shame than face plants.

These experienced athletes all seem to say that the key to putting your best foot forward at your very first tri is to be prepared.

Know the course, bring duplicate gear and don’t freak out because “embarrassing happens” to the best. S

Women’s Tempe Triathlon

Deuces Wild Triathlon Festival

by Dani Goff May 9th, nearly 600 female athletes braved the warm weather on Mother’s Day weekend for Danskin’s Women’s Tempe Triathlon.

Tempe Town Lake.

The 750 meter swim, 13.1 mile bike and 3.1 mile was held at Tempe Town Lake. The clear blue skies and striking 82 degree early morning weather did not deter the enthusiastic participants. Many mothers even brought out their children to the race for support and to help celebrate their special weekend.

The event kicked off with an Expo on Friday and Saturday at the Tempe Beach Park, with over 15 different vendors in attendance. The actual race started at the south bank of Tempe Beach Park, just west of the Mill Avenue Bridge, with a calm swim in Tempe Town Lake, followed by a flat urban bike portion and a final loop run around the lake.

Pro triathlete Malaika Homo, Salt Lake City, Utah, took home took top honors, followed by first overall Elite Amateur Robin Watson.

Watson, a member of the Landis Triathlon Racing Team, has been at the front of the pack before. She won the 2007 Mountain Man Olympic Distance Triathlon in Flagstaff. Sally Aston with the third fastest time of the day, won the award for First Overall Age Group Winner. In 2008 she placed first among the women at YMCA Thanksgiving Day Sprint Triathlon & Duathlon.

Many first time female triathletes came out for the event that benefited Chances for Children of Arizona. For those individuals who chose to buy out of the swim, pro Katie Ellis swam on their behalf and all proceeds also benefited Chances for children.

By Jenna Grover Trisports.com Deuces Wild Triathlon Festival appealed to a wide variety of competitors with its Long Course, Olympic Distance, Aquabike, XTERRA, and Youth Deuceathlon. On Saturday May 30th, Glenn-Glenn Mengering, Longmont, Colo. and Amy Regan, Los Alamos, N.M. finished first for men and women in the DeuceMan Long Course Triathlon. Regan, a Trisports. com sponsored athlete, qualified and is training for the Kona, Ironman World Championships. Marisa Asplund, Durango, Colo. and Thomas Taylor, Phoenix, Ariz. led their respective genders across the finish line in the Olympic distance. Making the transition from pro cyclist to triathlete, Asplund’s win at her debut triathlon, is an indication of more to come.

Brian Barrett, who has raced Deuces four years in a row, finished first overall for Men’s XTERRA. “I felt some pressure to defend my title since I won it last year,” said Barrett. “I was fortunate to be able to do that. However, my ultimate goal is to beat my coach’s [Brian Grasky] course record.”

Barrett is from Chandler and races with Grasky Endurance Elite.

His focus is primarily XTERRA races. When asked why he focuses on XTERRA, he replied, “Road running is not even comparable in satisfaction to what I get from trail running and racing XTERRA.”

Whiskey Row Marathon

By Shelli A. Read A record number of participants gathered in historic downtown Prescott on May 2 for the Whiskey Row Marathon. More than 1,600 runners and walkers lined up in front of the Palace Saloon, one of 40 historic saloons that used to line Whiskey Row when Doc Holliday and other infamous characters made the West wild.

New this year at the marathon were the medals designed by local artist, Doug Logan from Action Graphics. Marathon finishers got gold, half marathoners got silver and 10k finishers received copper medals.

For the first time, the event was chip timed. Also new were the longsleeve, technical shirts, which were a hit according to race director Laura Winniford.

Back again were the amazing and scenic routes. The marathon and half marathon are both out and back courses that have significant increases in elevation up to the cool pines. Marathoners are rewarded with panoramic views as they race to over a mile in elevation. The 10k is a hilly loop course with an awesome downhill stretch that leads straight to the finish by the Courthouse Square. The finish features muffins, Mexican food, fruit smoothies and massages.

Dan Kuch was a repeat winner. The 35 year-old police officer from Lake Havasu City beat his winning time from last year by more than two minutes. Phoenix resident, Tanaya Gallagher, ran the half marathon as part of her training to qualify for the Olympic Trials. She raced the marathon last year and won that. Comparing the two, the 23 yearold said that this year, she was happy to turn around at the half.
