Finger Tapping

sue@sweatmagazine.com twitter.com/sweatprincess

W

ow, it has been a busy spring, events galore. That means summer is just around the corner. And it has been almost a year ago I started working on this online project with Azcentral.com. The project launched just about two months ago.

My finger tips are tired from tapping on the keyboard. I am now regularly blogging as the Sweat Princess at www.azcentral.com/health and providing additional content to the site like profiles, fitness and nutrition tips.

Before everything rolled out, I stressed over what I would write about. I would jot down ideas as they would come up. One of my favorites: When is a panty line appropriate in fitness wear? Oh and guys, that does not exclude you. Training pal Lynn and I came up with that one on a Camelback excursion. Look for that one coming soon.

Amazing as it seems, topics are magically appearing in front of my eyes. A simple conversation at the gym or farmers market or even a movie creates fodder for a blog. My main theme—a fit life. Subjects run the gamut from detailed workouts, healthy eats, keeping motivated, tricks-of-the-trade, interesting people, events, places, trends, rest and more.

I recently wrote about a documentary called 9000 Needles. The film chronicled a 40 year old pro body builder who had a stroke. When insurance ran out for rehab, he headed over to China for a three month stroke treatment program. The affordable and effective plan combined acupuncture, other Eastern medicine and Western medicine. The film had me wincing at times, but it won the coveted audience award and best documentary at the Phoenix Film Festival.

As frequently as I am posting (three days a week), I am sure there will be some overlap. How many times have we heard, rest more, stretch more? Repeating is not a bad thing, as I am doing that in the next sentence. Remember, at the beginning of the year, I wrote SWEAT’s and my personal mission were the same. That mission is to inspire and motivate others to lead a healthy lifestyle. As readers of SWEAT and by virtue of your participation in fit activities, you inspire and lead others. You are a member of my team, perhaps unknowingly.

The reality is we still have a huge problem with the health of our population. It is not getting better and it is not a simple problem to fix, regardless of healthcare reform. People continue to smoke, though they know how bad it is. People know they should exercise or eat less fatty foods, but they don’t.

In the bigger picture, my challenge is to transform the relationship people have with their health. That is the bottom line.

If I reach just one new person a day through the magazine, my blog or in person, that would make me happy. Once again, I will be unreasonable, and ask you to help me with my mission.

Check out my blog posts, pass them on to someone else. There are tools on the page to make it a simple click of the mouse.

You can post them to your Facebook page, tweet them or just email the posts in a link. And I do want to hear from you. I want to know topics that interest you not just for online but for the magazine.

As a team, we can cause transformation. Thank you for reading and being part of the team.

Dear Editor:

I just picked up the March edition of Sweat magazine, and I wish I’d had it four months ago when I was shopping for a bike! The Bike Shop Guide is great! What a great issue loved it!

–Noelle Bowman

To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping –Chinese proverb The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.

–Marcel Proust, French Novelist and Author,

Keeping your Strength Training Fresh

The evidence supporting strength training (and exercise in general) is so compelling that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that adults do muscle-strengthening exercises for all major muscle groups at least twice a week. Ideally, this should be combined with at least 150 minutes of moderate (or 75 minutes of vigorous) aerobic activity per week, as well as balance and flexibility exercises. Strength and Power Training: A guide for adults of all ages, a newly updated Special Health Report from Harvard Medical School, offers the following tips—and more—for varying your routine, cranking up the challenge, and making strength training a lifelong endeavor.

Try new equipment Substitute one type of equipment for another. For example, work out with machines instead of free weights one day a week, or switch from one brand of machine to another. Or try exercises using a medicine ball, resistance bands, or resistance tubing.

Change your pace Vary your intensity—do one hard, one medium, and one lighter workout in cycles of seven to 10 days. This is a form of periodization, an exercise strategy that can enhance strength gains, help sidestep plateaus, and avoid overtraining while allowing more time for the body to heal after being thoroughly taxed. Because it can be difficult to put together a good periodization strategy, it’s essential to work with an exercise professional to come up with an effective plan that’s tailored to your needs.

Work out with a friend when you can If your friend is careful about good form, too, this can be a way to help reinforce good habits. Some gyms have a buddy board to help members find workout partners.

Work with a trainer Pay for a session or two with a certified personal trainer who can help you develop a well-rounded new routine.

Strength and Power Training is available for $18 from Harvard Health Publications (www.health.harvard.edu).

Order it online at www.health.harvard.edu/SPT or by calling 877–649–9457 (toll-free).

Trisports named Bicycle Friendly and Best Places to Work.

Less than a month apart TriSports.com was recognized for being bicycle friendly business and a great place to work. The League of American Bicyclists announced TriSports.com as a Silver Level Bicycle Friendly Business (BFB), in an impressive group of 51 new BFBs. The official announcement was made at the 10th Anniversary National Bike Summit in Washington, D.C.

Hockey Treadmill “This Bicycle Friendly Business is making a difference for employees, customers, and communities,” said Bill Nesper, Director of the Bicycle Friendly America Program. “TriSports.com promotes bicycling as a viable form of transportation and gives their employees choices and options that make biking to work easy and fun.”

In April, TriSports.com was named to Outside (outsideonline.com) magazine’s third annual “Best Places to Work” list. The full list and related story will be published in the May issue of Outside magazine. Outside’s “Best Places to Work” list was compiled with the help of the Outdoor Industry Association (outdoorindustry.org) and Best Companies Group (bestcompaniesgroup.com).

“We are thrilled to be selected as a ‘Best Place to Work’ for the second year in a row,” says company founder Seton Claggett. “This recognition means a lot to us because it reinforces that our efforts to provide our employees with a quality work environment are successful, and their happiness when they come to work is what makes us the company we are today.”

“They’re [the 50 selected companies] successful businesses in a challenging economy precisely because they support a proper work-life balance.” said Michael Roberts, Executive Editor of Outside. “They know that benefits like on-site gyms and fitness classes, reimbursements for ski passes and sports racing fees, and support for community service efforts during work hours make their employees happier and thus more productive.”

Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.

–Greg Anderson, American bestselling author and founder of the American Wellness Project.

A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles –Tim Cahill, travel writer and founding editor of Outside magazine

Do you have a budding young hockey player or the next Wayne Gretzky in your midst? Now you can help them along with the Hockey treadmill that has just arrived in Arizona. The treadmill is made of a patented and specially lubricated, ice-like surface. It tilts from 0- to a 32-percent grade and can operate at speeds over 16 miles per hour, creating a perfect environment to improve skating and efficiency. Creators of the equipment state after just one Acceleration Hockey Training program, comprised of 22 – 26 sessions spread over six to eight weeks, athletes enhance their break away speed, develop quicker cuts, improve power in the first three steps and gain conditioning.

You can find the new treadmill at Athletic Republic in North Scottsdale.

The facility specializes in sports specific training—with the goal of improving development with training protocols that are designed to improve an athlete specific to their sport. Athletic Republic also has a second location in Tempe. To learn more about the hockey treadmill and Athletic Republic programs call 480-503-8212 or skate into www.athleticrepublictempe.com.

A Ban on Plastic Bags A few countries around the world—Bangladesh, China, India, Australia, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Israel, South Africa and Taiwan, among others— have taken stands against plastic bags through taxing their usage or banning them outright. The environmental think tank, Worldwatch Institute, reported that China’s decision to ban free plastic bags in 2008 cut demand by some 40 billion bags, a 66 percent reduction in plastic bag usage, saving 1.6 million tons of petroleum.

In 2007, San Francisco became the first (and is still the only) major U.S. city to implement an across-the-board ban on plastic bags. Large supermarkets and pharmacies had to ditch plastic bags by early 2008 in favor of paper or those made from all-natural biodegradable cornstarch-based plastic. Environmentalists are particularly fond of the latter option for those who don’t bring their own bags. The cornstarch bags offer the biodegradability of paper without the deforestation as well as the convenience of plastic without the damage to ecosystems. After trying a voluntary program initially with little or no cooperation, the city instituted the ban on anything but biodegradable bags. The result has been a 50 percent drop in plastic bag litter on the streets since the ban took effect.

Los Angeles followed suit. Its plastic bag ban begins in July 2010. Several other U.S. cities, including New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, have considered outright bans like San Francisco’s, but each settled instead on plastic bag recycling programs in the face of pressure from the plastics industry and retail commercial interests.

Americans go through some 92 billion disposable plastic bags each year, and only five billion paper ones. If the nation banned plastic bags it is likely that paper varieties would only make up a small part of the difference, in light of the proliferation of reusable canvas shopping bags as well as the availability of biodegradable cornstarch plastic. —E – The Environmental Magazine

Playing in Prescott Y

ou can’t beat Prescott for a close and active Arizona getaway. Summertime temperatures are ideal.

And it is home to the Prescott National Forest, boasting more than 1.25 million acres to play in. There are five lakes in the area, over 400 miles of trails and a multitude of campgrounds. Prescott offers an abundance of activities. From rappelling down granite cliffs to mountain biking – you can do it all. A place locals love and an easy drive from the Valley or Flagstaff makes it a popular place to play. Plan a weekend of outdoor adventure and see why this outdoor-lover’s paradise is touted as “Everybody’s Hometown”.

Downtown

bike, hike and the vibe With so much to do, where do you start? Well, if you’re into soaking up the local vibe, walking to restaurants and museums, then consider staying at a historic hotel in downtown Prescott. Who knows, maybe your room will be haunted. Start your day with a morning jog around the courthouse square with its grassy lawn – it’s the perfect spot to sit and relax after a good run.

Sprint past saloons and shops that line legendary Whiskey Row. Sharlot Hall Museum and Smoki Museum are both close by on Gurley Street. Thumb Butte, a Prescott landmark, is visible from downtown and has many trails with awesome scenery to enjoy. You can drive to the trailhead or run to it from your hotel – it’s just about 3 miles from downtown. Once there, try the Thumb Butte Trail Loop. It’s only 2 miles, but the elevation peaks out at a little over 6300 feet and the views are breathtaking.

You’ll see impressive vistas of the Prescott area, Sierra Prieta Mountains, Granite Mountain, Bradshaw Mountains, Mingus Mountain, and, if it’s a clear day, the San Francisco Peaks. Mountain biking the full loop around Thumb Butte is popular. Ride up Gurley Street and keep going. It’s challenging, but the views are well worth it.

Directions: Follow the directions for getting to downtown Prescott – you can’t miss the courthouse square. To get to Thumb Butte, drive, bike or run on west Gurley Street, which turns into Thumb Butte Road. The trailhead parking lot is on the right side.

Getting There Lynx Lake

camp, canoe, hike and run Maybe you like the idea of sleeping outdoors and a chance to recreate in the cool pines. Then camping at Lynx Lake is the place to go. Located at 5530 feet in the Prescott National Forest, there are two camp areas, one with 36 campsites and the other with 38 campsites. There’s also Lynx Lake Café, a quaint restaurant with great views of the lake where you can get Germaninspired food and pancakes for breakfast. Next to the café are a small store and a place to rent boats and fishing gear. The best part has to be the variety of things to do, like kayaking or canoeing on the lake. You can hike the many trails including the 2-mile Lakeshore Trail that skirts Lynx Lake. There’s also the Lynx Creek Ruins trail. It’s a short climb that leads you to ancient Indian ruins and panoramic views of the surrounding area. Sightings of bald eagles and osprey are possible as they like to nest in this idyllic setting.

Directions: Follow the directions for getting to Prescott; however, about 3 miles before actually getting to downtown Prescott, you will turn left off of AZ-69 onto Walker Road (by Costco). If you go about 1.2 miles, you will see a sign for the Lynx Creek Ruins Trail on the left. Continue another .8 miles and you’ll see the turnoff for the Lynx Lake store, café and boat rental. Keep going about another half mile and you’ll see the turnoff to some campground sites as well as the boat launch.

From the Phoenix area, take Interstate 17 north for about 60 miles.

Then, take exit #262 to the AZ-69 and head north. Stay on that road for 34 miles and take the US 89 S ramp, which will lead you to downtown Prescott.

To get there from Flagstaff, take Interstate 17 south for about 60 miles, then take exit #278 (toward Prescott) and turn right onto AZ-169, which is also Cherry Road. Stay on Cherry Road for 15 miles and you’ll come to a light.

Turn right at the light onto AZ-69 and take it for another 15 miles, then take the US 89 S ramp and you’re there. S Shelli Read has been a runner for 11 years and especially enjoys running the trails around the Prescott area, where she lives. When she’s not writing or teaching fourth grade, you can find her traveling, reading, practicing yoga, golfing, or playing in-line hockey. When she needs a break from home, she and her husband head to their second home in San Felipe, Baja Calif.

Watson Lake

kayak, birds and a stone playground Do you want it all: scenery, a lake, granite outcroppings and an awesome trail? Then head to Watson Lake, where you can kayak or canoe – boat rentals are available and two boat launches.

During the summer months you can overnight camp. Covered picnic areas, barbecue grills, horseshoe pits and some open grassy area provide space to relax. Many areas around Watson Lake are great for bird watching. There are sites there that the National Audubon Society has been acknowledged as part of a global network because of their outstanding value to bird conservation. You can access picturesque Granite Dells via Watson Lake, where the granite outcroppings provide stony playgrounds for rock climbers and rappellers. It’s also close to the Peavine Trailhead. The Prescott Peavine National Recreation Trail follows the historic route of the old Santa Fe Railroad that was originally built in 1893 and meanders around Watson Lake and through granite rocks. It’s about 4 miles and hooks up with the Iron King Trail for another 4 miles. If you decide to run or bike the whole trail, you’ll end up in Prescott Valley where you might meet a herd of antelope.

Directions: To get to Watson Lake, follow the directions to Prescott, but from AZ-69 turn right onto Prescott Lakes Parkway (by In-N-Out Burger). Take it down the hill to the light and make a right onto AZ-89. Follow this to the roundabout and veer to the right. There is a $2.00 daily use fee. To get to the Peavine Trailhead, also take Prescott Lakes Parkway but turn before the light. You will make a turn onto Sundog Ranch Road and then a quick left.

The

By Dock Ellis

Grandview Trail From the Top After hiking the Hance and Tanner trails this year, the only south rim path I hadn’t been on was one I knew I had to get to, the Grandview, which tends to get huge amounts of visitors just trying to get a good look off the top. I had a little more in mind, namely a return to desolate and mysterious Grapevine Canyon, where I had gotten lost and totally bewildered at night on my river trip back in ‘92.

Fellow canyon addict and desert rat, Zak Phillips came down from Denver for a weekend of abuse and suffering, and we set off from the top at 7 a.m. with just one car in the lot. I was hauling a pack stuffed to the gills, including 2 and 1/2 gallons of water, one of which we planned to stash someplace on Horseshoe Mesa, 2000 feet below the rim.

The Grandview plunges into the abyss right immediately, and the trail has received a lot of work over the years, including some monumental block fortification all through the Coconino layer. And that’s a good thing, because the slope is severe and the erosion would be extreme without it. But anybody who ventures off the top here knows that this is a serious track from step one.

Oh what a view Of course, the view is sublime, with Vishnu Temple and Angel’s Gate front and center. The trail mellows out a bit below the Coconino stairway, and stays in the red Supai Sandstone for the next mile all the way to Horseshoe Mesa. The mesa features some old mine shafts and ruins, and one spectacular sight, the Cave of the Domes, west in the Redwall off a prominent spur trail about 2 and 1/2 miles from the rim. There is no sign, but the cavern has a register inside, as well as some spectacular tites, mites, and wormtubes, although many have been damaged by previous idiots.

Over a thousand feet of passageways wind through the limestone, and we spent an hour exploring the unknown. This would be a great destination for a day hike, so take a light. On we slogged, dropping off the mesa and reaching the Tonto trail, which is welcome because it’s semi level, but tortuous in its’ round about way of crossing the various drainages. It takes a lot longer to go around the heads of most of the side canyons than you would ever think.That is the

18 SWEAT magazine

essence of the Canyon: it’s a terrain puzzle without equal, and the harshness of the lay-o- the-land dictates any possible route.

These factors can be debilitating at the end of a long day, trying to get to water or camp, and the road seeming to go on forever. But the vistas are sensational, and conducive to reaching that drone state of mind that overcomes a tedious, long walk.

Cottonwood Creek and Grapevine After a couple more miles we arrived at Cottonwood Creek, not as well known as some but loaded with trees turning colors and a fine bunch of campsites. The stream was just a trickle and probably not the ideal source for water, as there are quite a few reliable springs in the area. As we circled west we spotted a couple of fine Anasazi granaries tucked into the Tapeats Sandstone shelf, and that creek bed became a massive, deep gorge.

As the trail approaches the river, we got a birds eye look into the inner Granite Gorge, and soon you are walking on the very edge of the precipice, which can be a shock to anybody not used to exposure of this degree. Watch your step and pay attention because it’s a long way down, and you’ll be dead a long time before anybody finds you.

By the time we staggered in to the campsite at Grapevine, I was ready for the chiropractor, and my feet were crying like Jimmy Swaggert. There are lots of boots made for long day hikes with a light load, but to haul a big pack 10 miles into the canyon, it’s a short list, and mine aren’t on it. I was prone in a very short time, and after gorging on Clifbars and peanut butter, I was in a deep sleep, in spite of yet another equipment breakdown; my thermarest mattress had multiple leaks and zero loft. The Kangaroo Rats were lurking around our packs all night, and ended up making off with Zak’s watch, which he had left on the ground.

The next morning I woke up stiff and sore, but eventually loosened up to explore the bed of Grapevine towards the river. A number of prolific springs line the walls of the canyon, and lots of small waterfalls and plunge pools divide the rock. We hobbled a mile or so until we hit a waterfall we didn’t feel up to dealing with, and retreated back to our site. A day without the pack had helped

May 10

my condition considerably, and I was able to enjoy the wonders of Grapevine much more.

Climbing out We only encountered one other hiker, an intrepid fellow doing an 11 day solo tour of the Tonto, and he was looking forward to the two nights he would finish the journey with at Phantom Ranch. Sunday morning we were up with the sun to get an early start on the grunt back to the top. We had stashed water on Horseshoe Mesa on the way down, and I only carried the 3 liters in my Camelback.

We had a cool, cloudy morning, perfect for an arduous ramble, and we reached Cottonwood in a couple of hours. Here we got off the Tonto and followed the bed of the creek towards the rim, passing several choice campsites and trees turning to gold the whole way. The flow was meager, but the scenery fine. I made a mental note to return to explore the west fork of Cottonwood Creek some time soon.

The climb through the Redwall was challenging as always, but we made the top of the mesa at high noon. After replenishing our water at the stash, we lumbered on, meeting several day hikers and one very calm Bighorn Sheep eyeballing us from 10 feet above on a ledge in the Coconino. He posed for several pics and never showed the slightest sign of nervousness, as many seem to do.

We were ultra grateful for the trail work done on the ‘Stairway to Cleveland’ in this layer, as the pitch was almost black diamond steep. We finally emerged on top to swarms of motorists at about 2:30, and now I understand why the park service is instituting shuttles to some of the overlooks. RV’s and rental cars filled every possible parking spot, with a line of cars waiting to find theirs.

It’s incredible and encouraging how few of these folks actually get on the trail, but getting to it is another story. As with almost every Canyon trip I take, I return feeling rejuvenated, if a little worn out. The worlds greatest example of erosion might as well be on another planet, but it’s in our glorious state, and you too can enjoy it with some energy and an early start. S Dock Ellis is always on the ramble, attending the Masters last month and exploring the south of Brazil in May. He’s squeezed in the final days of ski season 2010, and hiking and biking every possible day.

Flying Healthy

By Sue Berliner

S

ecurity lines, standing, waiting, sitting, crowds, lack of personal space, more sitting and the general anxiety of air travel can wreak havoc on healthy intentions.

In the past twenty years most of my travel has been for the purpose of participating in various endurance events. I often arrive just a day before a marathon, ride or triathlon. Eating, drinking and how I feel when disembarking from a plane are critical to a successful race.

So whether you are flying near or far, for business, pleasure or your first marathon, learn some quick tricks to divert diet and health disasters while airborne or to feel fresh upon arrival.

It takes just a little planning to integrate these simple suggestions into your regular travel routine. It will be worth the time for a healthier life.

20 SWEAT magazine

Be prepared, plan ahead Like the scout motto, be prepared.

Flight delays, missed connections and canceled flights happen. Expect the unexpected with air travel and plan ahead.

Hydration Start healthy traveling before leaving home. Hydrate with water upon rising on departure day. If you are well hydrated before going airborne, cabin fever will be easier on your body.

Flying is very dehydrating.

Dehydration increases stiffness, muscle soreness and risk of injury whether sitting or exercising.

Sitting in the same position for extended periods of time exacerbates the situation.

Keep the water flowing while flying.

Ask for a can of water with your beverage choice and drink the water first. It will keep you from drinking more of the sugary options.

Limit consumption of alcohol and coffee, both dehydrate. Soda and juices are basically sugar, so best to avoid those too. Save sugar consumption for your destination and something much more fun like a Mai Tai cocktail on the beach.

Get out of your seat once an hour and walk up and down the aisle.

On a five hour flight you should need to relieve your bladder three times.

On two hour flights, at least once. That will indicate you are well hydrated.

Smart packing tips A back pack or tote with an insulated section makes for a great carry on.

Additional sections for organizing food, utensils, napkins, water bottles and other supplies are beneficial.

Carry an empty water bottle.

Best choice is a double walled stainless steel bottle. It works well to keep water cold or hot, does not retain flavors and cleans up easily. Second

Join the SWEAT Club: text SWEAT to 68255

best is a BPA free plastic bottle with wide mouthed lid. There are drinking fountains in the airport to fill either up. It will save you money while helping the environment.

Fill plastic water bottles with ice once through security and use the ice bottle to chill any perishable food. Resealable plastic bags make great ice packs as well and come in handy to carry small quantities of snacks in a purse.

The power of protein Protein will keep your blood sugar levels from plummeting, fill you up and stay with you longer than the high carbohydrate sugary foods that dominate airport concourses.

Freeze cooked chicken breasts, turkey tenders or cutlets before hand.

Use the frozen meat to keep other foods cold. Once defrosted, make the meat a meal or a sandwich.

Carry hard boiled eggs in their shell in a plastic bag. Peel the egg in the bag. If possible, peel before getting on the plane. Grab salt and pepper packs in the airport.

Cheese is a great snack, very satiating. It pairs well with many fruits Nutrition/protein bars. Look for higher protein content varieties with lower carbohydrate and sugar counts.

Try turkey, beef or other types of jerky. Look for natural brands with low sodium levels, no nitrites and no MSG (monosodium glutamate).

Powdered protein mix. This will do in a pinch to get necessary protein and keep sugar cravings at bay. Mix with water or juice in a water bottle.

Refreshing munchies and healthy food Fresh fruits and veggies are optimal airplane treats because they add needed hydration and provide valuable restorative nutrients.

Apples are a favorite of mine and very filling. I find them easiest and most desirable to eat if cored and sectioned before hand. Choose firmer

May 10

apple varieties like Fuji, Gala and Granny Smith. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them to brown, sprinkle a little lemon juice on them after slicing.

Strawberries, grapes and melons are very refreshing. They are best if kept cold or eaten early during travel. Cut the stems off strawberries, cut melons into bite size pieces and remove grapes from their vines/stems.

Citrus always travels well, comes in its own wrapper and hydrates.

Great travel veggies include Persian cucumbers, celery, sugar snap peas, sliced sweet bell peppers and carrots. No promises, but I have made it through security with small containers of hummus, guacamole and peanut butter. Just be prepared the dips may not meet TSA requirements. I have found all three available at various airport food courts.

Store fresh fruits and veggies in air tight plastic containers or baggies.

Dried fruits such as raisins, dates, apricots, prunes, apples, peaches and pineapple are always a welcomed travel companion. Choose unsweetened varieties. Dates stuffed with pecans taste like pecan pie and will satisfy any sweet tooth, young and old and are perfect before a workout.

Carry a variety of nuts. Almonds, walnuts, pecans, shelled pistachios, peanuts and cashews. Opt for no salt or low salt styles. Combine with your favorite dried fruits to make your own trail mix.

Gum and mints keep your mouth refreshed when a toothbrush is not handy.

Other tips Wear compression socks under your slacks or jeans when flying. They can help prevent swelling, tired legs and possibly deep vein thrombosis.

Eat with a fork. Wash hands or use an antibacterial sanitizer before eating finger foods.

Carry a travel pack of facial tissues. S

Inaugural Cave Creek Trail Run

Tri for the Cure Arizona

The inaugural Cave Creek Trail Run was so popular race organizers had to turn away100 or more participants. Runners and walkers numbered 252 between the 10k, 5k and the 2k Kids Desert Awareness Fun Run/Walk. The event took place on April 3 just north of Cave Creek is some of the most pristine Sonoran Desert in all of Arizona. Race organizers were putting on the race to save the land. With its isolation there is an abundance of flora and fauna, a perfect setting for a trail run. The primitive trails are primarily used by equestrians. The route took runners and walkers through sandy washes, up over hills and down them too, over loose rock and stiff ones. There was an amazing saguaro stand and also breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

The best view happened upon topping out on “Heart-attack Hill,” a climb of 220 feet in just one third of a mile.

Dawn Stone of Flagstaff finished first in the women’s 10k and Brian Hall out of Tucson won the men’s 10k. Nathan Marine from Tempe took top honors in the 5k. Mathew Clement, just 10 years old, finished third in that race. Christina Luddy won the women’s 5k.

For a special touch, recognizing Easter, one egg was place out on the course. The finder received a special prize.

Participants thought it was an awesome race with perfect running conditions. Proceeds are going towards the purchase of 4,000 acres of open space surrounding Cave Creek. One of the athletes, Megan Timm from Wisconsin put on a wedding veil once she crossed the finish line. Organizers found out that she was to have gotten married that day but her fiancé left her three weeks prior so she decided to do the trail run instead.

Tri for the Cure Arizona continues to grow. The fourth edition of this all women’s event attracted more than 700 women to Chandler High School on April 11. Many of the women were first timers. They had two options to pick from. The triathlon consisted of a 400 meter pool swim, 8 mile bike and 2.25 mile run. The duathlon started and finished with a run. A 1 mile run substituted for the swim. A relay triathlon was also offered.

In the triathlon it was a tight race between Hayley Benson and veteran Jane Esahak-Gage. Esahak-Gage had a 4 second lead on Benson after the bike. But Benson would catch and pass her on the run. Benson covered the 2.25 miles in 11:26, a minute faster than Esahak-Gage for the win. On March 14, Benson won the Southwest Valley Regional YMCA Olympic distance triathlon in Goodyear. Her closest competitor at that race was more than 16 minutes behind.

In the duathlon it was also a tight race heading into the last leg.

2009 winner Val Steinberg repeated her top form outkicking Andrea Osika on the last run.

Whether participants won an award or not, everyone had a great time. The encouragement from an all women’s field tends to inspire all.

Lake Havasu Triathlon

By Sue Berliner

Dragon Boat The Arizona Dragon Boat Associations 7th Annual Dragon Boat festival was held on March 27-28..Tents covered the north side of Tempe Town Lake which served as the athletes village.

“This is one of the largest festivals that we have,” said Lana Walthers, team chairman of the Arizona Dragon Divas and Dragon Riders. We had 65 teams participated in a total of 98 heat races. Since AZDBA’s DB Race Festivals are always the first race of the season in the U.S., we always have top notch teams come to Arizona to kick off their race season. Even though we live in the desert, we still have one of the biggest race festivals in the Western U.S. We filled up at least 7 big hotels in the valley, what a contribution to Arizona’s economy.”

If you are unfamiliar with the sport; the boats seat 20 paddlers; two abreast. A drummer keeps everyone synchronized and the steersman keeps the heavy boat aimed for the finish. Most teams are made up of at least 25 members each.

Walthers was proud of the fact there were many Arizona teams this year. There were 12 corporate, two high school (one sponsored

by SWEAT), two Collegiate, two pro/mixed one breast cancer survivor team, one men’s and one women’s team all from Arizona.

The wind was its worst on Friday when the out of town teams took to the lake for their practice sessions. A drummer fell in the lake during practice. The wind was going about 30 to 35 miles per hour. On Saturday, the wind calmed down a bit, to about 15 to 25 miles per hours causing delays on some race starts. There were 46 out of town teams.

Racers came from as far away as Houston, Tex. and Toronto, Canada.

“The weather was great, the energy of the races was high,” said Walther. ”The friendships generated among teams were priceless.

Over all, AZDBA held another successful festival and we’re looking forward to our 8th Annual DB Festival for next year.”

Windsor 4 Beach at Lake Havasu State Park was the staging grounds for more than 650 athletes at the 7th Annual Havasu triathlon on March 20.

Olympic distance triathletes started with a 1,500-meter swim in the Bridge Channel, transitioned to a 40-kilometer bike ride on London Bridge Road and finished with a 10k run over the bridge and back to the finish line at Windsor 4. The Sprint consisted of a 500 meter swim, 20k bike and 5k run.

The Havasu Olympic division served as the championship race for the Mountain Collegiate Triathlon Conference, qualifying athletes in the National Finals at Lubbock, Texas, April 17. The race attracted participants from all over the West. Used to higher altitude, racers from Colorado dominated. University of Colorado Buffalos took top honors in the collegiate division for the second year in a row.

Initially, 2009 winner Cedric Wayne from Boulder Colo. had his work cut out for him in the Olympic race. Brock Logan beat him out of the water.

After the bike leg Wayne, 24, had a 32 second lead. Then Wayne out distanced the field on the run and cutting nearly four minutes from his 2009 time. Tate Behning would make up more than the 3 minutes he lost to Logan during the bike with the best run split of the day, 34:21, eventually catching Logan and earning second place with a 17 second margin. The top four finishers in the men’s Olympic were all from Colorado.

Colorado’s Ashley Walker took the lead in the women’s race during the bike and held onto it until the finish.
