on’t let 2016 be one of those years where you just stay home, eat chips, and fall asleep in front of the TV every night. You’re better than that! Look, I know The Voice is on for like two hours almost every night of the week, but is that a good excuse for not taking care of yourself? Human bodies crave exercise and movement (almost as much as they crave performance-based reality ! Don’t let the winter chill keep you from staying active. No excuses!

A CLEAN, CALORIE-BURNING COMMUTE WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE AND EQUIPMENT, BIKING CAN BE A WINTERTIME ADVENTURE WORDS : BOB EIER M AN / PHOTO : ANDREA PAULSETH

M y m o r n i n g p r e pa r at i o n s a r e c o m p l e t e s o I h e a d o u t t o t h e g a r ag e t o m o u n t u p f o r m y b i c yc l e c o mm u t e t o wo r k .

I’m wearing long johns, boots, a warm coat, a scarf and my insulated gloves. I open the garage door and inspect my winter bike, adding a bit of oil to the chain. I Velcro on my ankle band, put on my clear plastic glasses and slip on my helmet and cinch it tight. I step out into the brisk, barely double digit temperature and push the button on the clicker in my shoulder bag to close the garage door. It is dusky so I turn on the flashing lights, front and rear and on top of my helmet. As I mount my bicycle and push off, I note the crunching of the snow beneath my studded tires and I’m off on my morning adventure.

My motivations for commuting by bicycle, even in the winter, include an array of issues. Riding is convenient for me because my route is fast and safe and my threemile door-to-door commute time is almost the same on bike or by car. I can park right next to my workplace for free, every single day. I get some good exercise, and I feel awake and invigorated when I arrive. I also save money by bicycling to work.

The street where I live is secondary, so it is covered in ice and snow, making my initial moments of riding a time to focus on balance and direction. As I begin to get a pedaling rhythm going, I am aware of the bumps and small slips of my bike, but the studs do their work, and I move straight ahead through the snow and ice. A few minutes into my ride, my internal heater kicks in and I feel the warmth build underneath my coat. My exposed cheeks begin to sting a bit, but soon the equilibrium of inner heat and outer cool is established and I start to feel good. As my speed picks up, the moving air tries to slip under my glasses to stimulate tears to form in my eyes, but the protective lenses help me blink them away.

Getting the right equipment and apparel has been key to making my commute comfortable. I wear layered clothing depending on the weather and usually shed a layer or two when I get to work. I wear a stocking hat or balaklava under my helmet and wear clear plastic glasses to avoid tears from obscuring my vision. I have thick warm gloves and wear long underwear and/or rain pants on my legs for warmth. I have lights on my bicycle, front and back, and a helmet light, all of which are LEDs and operate in either steady or flashing mode.

My winter bicycle is a used mountain bike with fenders and a studded tire on the front. The studded tire keeps the bicycle steady even under snowy and icy conditions; they are remarkable and only cost between $50 and $70 apiece. I keep the chain and shifters oiled and try to wipe off the bike when it is wet and salty. Winter biking is hard on the equipment.

Moving into the more populated streets, I watch every car and truck I encounter, always assuming that I am invisible. I am comfortable today because the traffic is light, but I stay vigilant. My route has several blocks of low-traffic streets then one busy crossing before I get to the bicycle trail. I stay to the right today, but snow and ice build-up pushes me out into the traffic lane for a block or so. There is only one driver who doesn’t see me, and I avoid him by moving into the deeper snow and shouting a bit. I cross Clairemont Avenue with the traffic lights and do so with care, finally arriving on the Clairemont bike trail where I’m out of the vehicular traffic.

Winter biking is more challenging from a safety

viewpoint than summer biking. Drivers don’t expect bicycles to be out so you are more invisible in the winter. That makes it imperative to ride defensively. I seek out the eyes of the drivers to make contact to aid their recognition that they are sharing their commute with a two-wheeled traveler. In addition, it is more often dark out during winter commuting times so lights and reflective clothing are important. It is also important to select routes that avoid busy streets and to use streets that are well plowed. The edges of roads are ice and snow covered in winter making it necessary to take a

“It is also an effective way to incorporate exercise into your daily routine: You can’t really skip your commute, so if you’re riding, you can’t skip your workout, either.” driving lane more often in winter. Routes with lower traffic levels make that more doable. In addition, snow removal for bicycles usually lags a day or so compared to removal for motor vehicles, so that makes it advisable to be prepared to blast through unplowed routes or travel by another mode during or just after snowfalls.

Once on the Clairemont bike trail, I continue my progress “far from the madding crowd.” My solitude is broken by the occasional fellow clean commuter and by the busy cross streets. I move carefully with the traffic lights and always, always fully monitor the leftVolumeOne.org 34 Jan. 27, 2016

turning traffic that flies around the corners oblivious of bicyclists. There are snow bumps in the intersections too, from snow left by snow plows that come after the bike trails are cleared. I ride through the snow bumps very slowly and carefully to avoid a crash. The west wind is in my face, but I’m warmed up now and moving swiftly over the trail, which is mostly clear with just a few patches of frozen precipitation. The sky is clear blue and the roar of Clairemont traffic fades from my consciousness as my steady pedaling rhythm rolls me onward.

Once you get into it, winter commuting is rewarding both physically and mentally. With the proper gear it is comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable. It is also an effective way to incorporate exercise into your daily routine: You can’t really skip your commute, so if you’re riding, you can’t skip your workout, either. I burn about 200 calories for every 20 minutes of biking. The first few minutes are a little tough, but the daily ride is invigorating. It’s more fun to ride a bicycle than drive a car, it lets the inner child in you come out. The same spirit that drives people to go skating, skiing, or snowshoeing in the winter weather can be translated to winter bike commuting, with the bonus that it gets your basic transportation done, too. Another bonus is that between gas, parking costs, and car maintenance, I save between $600 and $800 a year by commuting on my bicycle.

I finally near my destination and begin to survey the area for a bicycle rack unburdened by snow and ice.

Once I find a spot, I turn off my flashers and lock up my trusty machine, then I begin to remove my protective equipment. By the time I walk to my office, my helmet, glasses, and gloves are off, my coat and scarf are loosened, and my breathing and pulse rate are back to normal. My glowing cheeks and frosty moustache are the main indicators that my commute is something other than a ride on a heated seat through a sea of other cars; mine is a clean commute.

CHANGING YOUR MIND hypnotherapy can be a tool for positive improvement WORDS : PAN THAO / PHOTO : ANDREA PAULSETH W h at ’ s t h e f i r s t t h i n g t h at c o m e s t o m i n d w h e n yo u t h i n k o f h y p n o s i s ? Perhaps it’s the swing-

ing pocket watch luring you into a trance or memories from a high school assembly when you watched your classmates ride imaginary horses. To most people, hypnosis may seem more like a magic show. According to Richard Marano, a National Guild of Hypnotists-certified hypnotherapist and owner of The Hypnosis Center of Eau Claire, hypnosis has nothing to do with magic or mind control but rather is a modality for helping people overcome obstacles and improve their lives.

“People choose hypnosis because they want positive change,” Marano said.

“Our brain is a healing mechanism and does phenomenal things. You just have to learn how to access that ability and communicate with it.”

Marano, originally from New York City, went to UW-La Crosse and became a health teacher. Later, while in the midst of a career change, he recalled listening to a lecture on hypnosis back in college. His fascination with hypnosis inspired him to return to school to become a hypnotist and bring The Hypnosis Center to the Valley.

With more than 4,000 clients, 7,000 sessions, and almost 15 years under his belt, Marano has certainly demonstrated the benefits of hypnosis. People come from all over Wisconsin and beyond to work with him on overcoming personal obstacles. About a third of his clients want to stop smoking or lose weight,

“Our brain is a healing mechanism and does phenomenal things.

You just have to learn how to access that ability and communicate with it.”

Dr . Ri c h a r d M a r a n o, Hy p n os i s C e n t e r o f Eau Cl a i r e

C E R T I F I E D H Y P N OT H E R A P I S T R I C H A R D M A R A N O H E L P S H I S PAT I E N T S OV E R C O M E T H E I R P R O B L E M S , R A N G I N G F R O M S M O K I N G TO I N S O M N I A .

while the rest come for others reasons, from nail-biting and anxiety to insomnia and sports improvement. Marano’s work has even inspired some of his clients to become hypnotherapists as they’ve seen success in their own lives.

The rewards to hypnosis can be immediate as clients might leave Marano’s office and never smoke again or no longer consume sugary drinks. One client suffered from chronic migraines for 25 years and left the first session completely pain-free. Marano has even worked with children as young as six years old to address bedwetting and the refusal to

sleep in their own rooms.

He chuckled as he said, “Half of the things in this room are gifts from parents of bedwetters. Every time I open my door in the summertime, there’s another bag of tomatoes or garden vegetables.”

So how does it all work? As a hypnotist, Marano guides individuals into having very focused attention. This allows a positive statement of suggestion to bypass the conscious mind, the part of the brain that is responsible for critical thinking, and access the subconscious mind, which stores beliefs and memories and is also responsible for involuntary

VolumeOne.org 35 Jan. 27, 2016

actions such as breathing.

“If the suggestion is helpful, good for you, and what you want, then change happens,” Marano said. “With hypnosis, you are always in complete control. Hypnosis can’t harm you. Either something positive happens or nothing happens. If something is suggested that is against someone’s moral fiber, too embarrassing, or they can hurt others or themselves, the brain protects itself by rejecting the suggestion.”

Marano has worked with just about every situation that people might need help with, and he has found that hypnosis will work for almost anybody and just about anything. The key is to want the outcome. For those ready to make a positive change, The Hypnosis Center of Eau Claire offers affordable and confidential sessions to help tap into the power of your subconscious mind.

Learn to direct that energy into achieving your goals while leaving the pocket watch at home.

Richard Marano is presenting “Hypnosis for Weight Loss” at the Volume One Gallery on Feb. 1. The event starts at 6pm with a lecture, Q&A, and hypnosis section. For more on the event: volumeone.org/events

GET OUT AND GET FIT F U N WAYS TO STAY AC T I V E (mostly) outside I N T H E W I N T E R WORDS : TO M GIFFEY

We’ve all made the pro mises before, but that doesn’t stop us fro m m aking the m again: We’re

going to focus on getting fit in the New Year – No, for real this time! – and we’re not going to let the Chippewa Valley’s cold weather be an excuse. If you’re creative – and you can get your hands on the right equipment – this is a great time of year to work out, even outdoors. Here are some ways you can improve your body while enjoying the beauty of the Eau Claire area.

SNOWSHOEING

Once there’s some powder on the ground, strap on some snowshoes and get outside.

Whether they’re lightweight aluminum or old-school wooden models, snowshoes will help you blaze a trail through the crisp stillness of a Wisconsin winter.

There are plenty of great places to snowshoe in the Eau Claire area, including Tower Ridge Recreation Area, Beaver Creek Reserve, and Lowes Creek County

Park.

The latter location was the site of the 2015 U.S. National Snowshoe Championships, and on Feb. 13 this year it will host the annual Powder Keg Snowshoe and Fat-Bike Races. Check out corbapowderkeg.com for details.

CROSS - COUNTRY SKIING

Our northern neighbor Hayward may be home to the world-famous American Birkebeiner, but the Chippewa Valley is no slouch when it comes to crosscountry skiing, either. In the city limits alone, there are four groomed trails: Carson Park, Fairfax Park, Pinehurst Park, and the City Wells Area across

from Riverview Park. The region also offers dozens of additional miles of trails at places like Tower Ridge, Beaver Creek, Lowes Creek, and the amazing Hoffman Hills State Recreation Area outside Menomonie, which features nine miles of trails of varying difficulty that are groomed for both stride and skate-style skiers.

CURLING

This ancient Scottish sport is quite popular in Wisconsin, where we appreciate its competitiveness, civility, and the fact that you can drink beer in between sending 44-pound curling stones across the ice.

(Remember: Drinking too much beer may work against your fitness goals.) The Eau Claire Curling Club, which has its home ice at the Eau Claire County Exposition Center, 5530 Fairview Drive, welcomes spectators during regular league play and during bonspiels, or tournaments, and holds periodic open house sessions where kids and adults can try their hands at the icy action.

VOLLEYBALL

Thanks to the wonders of 21st-century technology – i.e., a big, inflatable plastic dome – you can now play sand volleyball in the dead of winter in Eau Claire. The newly constructed Complexx at Wagner’s Lanes, 2159 Brackett Ave., features three sand volleyball courts, a tiki bar, and space for 500 patrons for events like concerts and parties. Loopy’s Grill & Saloon outside Chippewa Falls is home to a similar volleyball facility, dubbed the “Loopy Dome.”

HIT THE GY M

Finally, if you just want to burn some calories shooting hoops, swimming laps, or going nuts on the elliptical machine, there are dozens of fitness centers, big and small, that can help you meet your goals. (Check out our listings on page 42.) This time of the year, many of them are offering membership deals. so they’ll practically be paying you to exercise!

SPECTATING: AN ENDURANCE SPORT OF ITS OWN without people to watch, races are just training sessions with strangers Words: Bonni Knight I am an elite member of the c o m p e t i t i v e wo r l d o f d i s ta n c e r ac e s p e c tat i n g . I have worked my

way to the first wave of watchers.

In my life, I am surrounded by endurance athletes. My husband rowed crew in college, and still runs, bikes, and skis competitively. His sister still rows in Masters events. My daughter and my friend, Nick Anderson, have both competed in marathons and triathlons.

I watch. My small cadre of athletes includes course-record holders, a former world-record holder, and a couple of middle-of-the-pack hobbyists. I’ve stood in rain, sleet, heat, and snow to watch my racer go by in a flash or a near-crawl, or to not go by at all. I’ve got a couple of Ironmans under my belt, a few Birkebeiners (a 35-mile cross-country ski race in northern Wisconsin in February), and a winter ultramarathon, where I was the only spectator to follow my racer the entire 35 miles. I’ve raced on the Metro in Washington, D.C. to catch the end of a marathon (and missed it), and I’ve stood

alone in the dark on a snow-packed trail in the middle of a national forest.

Why would I wait in the middle of nowhere for hours on end just to see one person go by once (or maybe twice, if the race is designed well for spectators)?

Because races need me. They need spectators, or the event is nothing more than an elaborate training session with strangers. More importantly, my friends

and family need support.

Most spectators are fair-weather friends – literally. They’re the kind who will plop down a soccer-mom chair in the sun, sipping a latte on a street corner and texting on their phones until their friend comes by, but will stay home if it’s drizzling. I am an endurance watcher. I show up, regardless of weather, and I last until the bitter end.

“Most importantly, be a great fan! Make a sign for your racer and cheer loudly for every single racer who goes by. Come up with an encouraging mantra and repeat it … 100 or 200 times, if necessary. Racers love encouragement, even if – or especially when – they’re too beat to acknowledge it.”

VolumeOne.org 38 Jan. 27, 2016

Oh, there are a few of my kind, and we recognize each other, meeting up at numerous spots along the course, and nodding respectfully, as if to say, “You are my brethren, my people. You are as crazy as I am. And you love your racer as much as I love mine.”

Race spectating done right is actually really hard work. Rural races present unique challenges. It’s bad enough having to brave extreme weather, but navigating a course that winds on county highways and dirt trails can be tricky. Sometimes streets are closed for the race, which forces you to find alternate routes, glancing at a map while law-enforcement vehicles are tailgating you and the roads all have three names. Some races provide better maps than others.

Urban races can be fun. Navigating is easier, but parking, traffic, and crowd congestion become concerns. I flew to Washington, D.C., just to watch my daughter run a marathon and missed her finish because a Metro train just never came.

Presented By

The most challenging part of spectating for endurance races is timing.

You want to beat your racer to the next point, so you have to choose your spots carefully. Often races will go off-road, so your racer has a shortcut while you have to take roads. Figuring split times, plus driving distances, plus routes add stress. And once you’ve made it to your spot, you have to watch Every. Single.

Racer. In bike races, they fly by and it’s easy to miss your target. If you’ve been waiting a really long time, you begin to worry whether you missed him. Did he go by in a pack, or did he get a flat?

Did you miss her, or did she crash? You always need to figure your break point before you have to move again, because if you get behind your racer, you will

miss him at every stop and miss the finish. At my daughter’s first triathlon in Philadelphia, we nervously waited an eternity for her to come by on her second loop of the bike course. Ready to move on, I pulled out my cell phone and saw six missed calls from an unknown number. She had crashed badly and was in the medical tent.

No matter the race, I am always wiped out at the end. I, too, leave it all on the course.

So how can you be a better spectator? Well first of all, plan your race. All good athletes need a strategy, and so do you. Know the course. Have a good map.

Discuss split times and good viewing points with your racer. If you’re a cyclist, biking is a great way to get around many

marathons. Plan for your own needs as well. Bring a chair, all-weather apparel (rain gear, blankets, sun screen, etc.), some food and water. Scope out portapotties before the race as it may be your last chance for a while.

Most importantly, be a great fan!

Make a sign for your racer and cheer loudly for every single racer who goes by. Come up with an encouraging mantra and repeat it … 100 or 200 times, if necessary. Racers love encouragement, even if – or especially when – they’re too beat to acknowledge it.

And a word to race designers: Providing good maps, a spectator-friendly route, accessible parking, plenty of porta-potties, and informed course workers all increase the quality and popularity of an event.

VolumeOne.org 39 Jan. 27, 2016

The long and short of it is that spectating can be cold, exhausting, and lonely. It can be both boring and stressful. But it is essential. A race is not a race without fans. And it can mean the world to your racer.

My personal record came last fall, watching my friend, Nick, do his second Ironman. But this time he pulled Halden, his friend with cerebral palsy, the entire 140 miles of swimming, biking, and running. For 15 hours, 47 minutes, and 45 seconds, I ran, drove, and biked, cheering the entire way.

My next even – standing in the snow for five hours trying to spot my husband, Joe, flying by on skis during next month’s Birkebeiner – should be a piece of cake in comparison.

Got cabin fever?

Don’t let the cold keep you from being active. Try sledding, ice skating or crosscountry skiing. Or, maybe take a walk or build a snowman. If indoors is more your style, we have wellness opportunities to fit your needs.
