A r i z o n A’ s s p o r t s & F i t n e s s r e s o u r c e

Sprawled across the rocky narrow Barr Trail on my back at 13,300 feet with a toe curling calf-cramp was not part of the celebration plans. A mile from the summit of Pikes Peak (PP), thin air can make you trippy and/or snippy.

“Hey, don’t lay on the trail,” grumbled one gruff guy as if I was sunbathing. Another gentleman helped me stand. As I recovered from the mishap, my concern was not

on the Ascent but returning for the round trip the next morning to run the marathon. What pos-sessed me to do the Double? The 2008 PP Marathon was over the top. Participants battled snow, sleet and ice packed trails. I ate frozen Skittles® 2.67 miles high. Wasn’t that enough? Apparently not. Admittedly, I’m a little crazy, so celebrating my 50th birthday with the PP Double seemed like a “fun” challenge (Who am I kidding?). It would require mega amounts of well balanced and targeted training over six months.

Here is the scoop. The third weekend of August since 1956, runners gather at City Hall in Manitou Springs, Colo., elevation 6300 feet. On Saturday, Ascent (Ascent added in mid 70’s) partic-ipants traverse the mostly smooth Barr trail covering 13.32 miles before reaching the finish line at 14,050 feet (summit sits at 14,115). A stomach turning van ride on a mountain road transports finishers back to town. On Sunday, marathoners ascend the mountain and have the pleasure of skipping the van and running downhill logging 26.2 miles.

Fortunately the weather was better this year, perfect for tanning. The calf cramping was probably a result of underestimating water and electrolytes needs in what seemed comfortable weather compared to the harsh summer training in Phoenix.

After suffering severe chills waiting for the van on Saturday, I scored a front seat and survived the van ride sans any little white bag. My left calf ached and a huge knot remained. Serious doubt set in about another climb. Though not hungry, I ate and drank water continu-ously, critical to any effort on Sunday. Before bed, I bathed my legs in Tiger Balm. I easily fell asleep repeating my trainer’s mantra “Don’t be defeated.” Upon waking, the eating and drinking resumed and I went another round with the Tiger Balm. I felt ready for the ultimate challenge. The knot still resided in my left calf but it was tolerable. I eased into the marathon commiserat-ing and hiking with my new Doubler friends (119 doubled out of 711 marathoners). Focusing on using hamstrings and glutes kept the pressure off calves and quads. I talked to myself, whisper-ing I am stronger than last year. I was enjoying the second day more than the first. Time checks matched the prior day just giving up a few minutes as I yielded to the descending runners.

It is worth the effort and an incredible high to feel the difference between ascending and descending at 14,000 feet. Giddy at the top, with an ear-to-ear smile and lots of gas in the tank as planned, my feet danced downward on the dirt. The focused training was spot on and monthly weekend-long pain-fests paid big dividends. After leaving the rocky section behind, game-on. I had a blast; resting just seconds to gulp water and grab some Skittles® at A+ aid stations. I left behind the glass slippers from my past timid times on trails, rocketing past several runners the last few miles. Insane, but I did the Double (672 individuals have com-pleted the Double at least once) and improved my PP Marathon time.

Checking results, I found the following describing the birth of the double which originally appeared August 13, 1981 in the Los Angeles Times.

“One runner, Hal Winton of Lawndale, ran on Saturday and Sunday to celebrate his 50th birth-day. ‘It was all a mistake,’ he said. ‘I entered myself in the marathon and a friend entered me in the ascent-only. I figured I’d just try to do both.’”

Sunbathing was a mishap but I made no mis-take. Thank you Hal, everyone at PP, training pals, race organizers, friends and family. It has been one grand celebration.

To describe the agony of a marathon to someone who’s never run it is like trying to explain color to someone who was born blind. –Jerome Drayton, Canadian long-distance runner

FoundaTion FoR Blind ChildREn ConquERS MT. KiliManjaRoIn late June, Team Kili from Arizona reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. The feat alone is outstanding, but what makes the group remarkable is that it was composed of eight blind hikers, ages 11 to 56 years old, and 17 sighted guides. And three new world records were set: the largest group of blind climbers (8); the first U.S. Veteran (blind climber Thomas L. Hicks); and the youngest blind climber (13-year old Max Ashton, son of Marc Ashton, CEO, Foundation for Blind Children). The climbers trained for a year for this event. Training included physical exertion in events like Seven Summits of Arizona and guiding techniques to prepare for the highest mountain in Africa. The group started its journey to 19,340 feet on June 23 and reached the summit on June 29 at 8 a.m. On average they hiked five to eight hours a day and the last day they began their hike at 2 a.m at 16,000 feet elevation and a cruel 18 degrees. Their strategy was what is called «pole, pole» in Swahili, which means «slowly, slowly.» By this method they proved to themselves, all of Arizona and the world, that anything is possible, no matter the odds.

The climbers are a part of Foundation for Blind Children in Phoenix, a foundation that focuses on helping blind children to lead meaningful and productive lives through a gamut of services. The climbers wanted to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro, but they also wanted to raise funds for the foundation’s infant care program. They successfully raised over $200,000. To find out more about Foundation for Blind Children and Team Kili, visit www.seeitourway.org.

Bach Flower KidsChildren get stressed by big events whether it is their first triathlon or a big test. For more than a decade, the SWEAT family has been flower powering away their little one’s fears and discomfort with Bach Flower Remedies. The kid’s versions are made without alcohol and all Bach products are homeopathic, which means there is just a small amount of active ingredient. With increasing warnings about over-the-counter and prescribed

drugs being dangerous for kids, these plant-based treatments are great. The editor’s niece Weilan uses drops just before bedtime when sports or school anxieties are making her anxious.

Rescue Remedy is a combi-nation of five flowers: Clematis, Impatiens, Rock Rose, Star and Bethlehem/Cherry Plum. Also, there’s a garden of individual remedies from Mimulus for peace of mind to Impatiens for patience. More than a century of use and scientific studies indicate these homeopathic meds are effective and safe. Put

a few drops in juice, under the tongue or even on the wrist. Prices start at $7 for a bottle or $20 for kits with a range of treatments. Tiptoe into www.bachflower.com or your nearby Sunflower or Whole Foods.

Doggone Good GearThe new National Geographic Snorkeler™ line of snorkeling and swimming equipment is priced from about $22 for a single piece to $29 for a set. This stuff is a steal for the quality and design you get. We asked Sherri’ Westlake (wife of SWEAT’s former Webdude), an experienced scuba siren, to test out the Explorer series. She recommends all three pieces for lake diving, snorkeling or back-up for a scuba trip. The first step was modeling by her dog Sugar, which netted two thumb’s up for flashy style.

The Marlin 2 mask has a good fit, clear viewing with a com-fortable strap. A big plus is the unusually wide peripheral view.

The lightweight Nautilus Snorkel was really “kewl” the way it rolls up in a little case. It floats better than any I have used and comes in bright yellow so it can be seen in the water. It easily fits into your BCD pocket for emergency back up. It was comfortable with low drag and is easy to clear.

The Fit Traveler Fins are small without giving up too much power. Fairly light-weight, they have a nice pull-on loop on the back of the adjustable strap. The fins are comfy and secure over dive boots or even barefoot. Info: NatGeoSnorkeler.com.

Merrell PeakWhile it does not seem possible, cool running weather is around the corner and you will need something to keep you warm in the morning. Merrell offers up the long sleeve Peak for women with Opti-Wick moisture wicking and UPF 20+. Ideal for layering, textured poly-knit panels in key sweat zones increase breathability. The satin-look flatlock stitch-ing reduces bulk and adds stylish accent. A Sweat staffer tested out the top on a recent trip to Flagstaff and thought it was comfortable against the skin and looked great. The Peak retails for $42. Visit www.Merrell.com to see their complete collection of pre-mium apparel for the outdoor con-sumer and find a nearby retailer.

Bag Some Green, Healthy StyleStep out this fall with a good-for-you-and-the-world backpack or tote from Ameribag’s Earth Collection. Creator of the healthy back bag, Ameribag’s new line is made of eco-friendly recycled PET or PolyEthylene Therephthalate, which is found mostly in plastic bot-tles. With the look and feel of soft canvas, these bags are durable and well designed. Ditch that gym duffle or sloppy, shopping bag. We found the single strap tote ($75) amazingly comfortable. It securely stays on your shoulder and there are pockets galore. Bonus: all the healthy back features are included. Info: www.ameribag.com

many run half marathons; especially with his packed schedule. The afternoon I spoke with him for this feature, it was the first day of school and he debuted as the new head-master for Tempe Preparatory Academy. Last spring he started winding down his 22-year-old law practice to take on the new role. He took office in July of 2004 and typically works 40-50 hours each week as Mayor. He will match that time running the school, a liberal arts public charter school for 6-12th graders.

With that work load, most would find squeezing in a run a challenge. Over achiev-ing Hallman started the Mayor’s Run for Youth, Education & Social Services, com-

monly referred to as Mr. Yes. The program helps raise money for many Tempe charities while getting people in shape.

He explained how this all got started. As part of their children’s curriculum they were required to be part of an athletic team for PE. His now 16 year-old twins chose cross coun-try. Then came a challenge.

“I was challenged to become the mascot of a team of Tempe employees who were going to raise money for Leukemia and Lymphoma,” said Hallman. “I had not run in better than 25 years more than a mile.”

Before agreeing he told the challenger he wanted to check with his wife, figuring she would say no way. She surprised him by say-ing it was a great idea. So he was stuck. That was August 2005. His wife, Susan, ended up with a fractured tibia the second training

run, the Mayor was on his own. He did his first 11 mile run that December and ended up with ITB problems. He did not run for a month and ran the race cold.

“That started us thinking about how this race [Rock N’ Roll AZ] in particular, how we could set up a program for local charities,” said Hallman. “It is not [a program] for people who are typically athletes. They are recruit-ing people who have never really thought about doing something like this [marathon] but because their passion about a disease or cause are willing to try. By doing so, they really change their lives. It certainly is what happened to me.

The folks at Competitor Group have been extremely supportive of creating a local opportunity to raise money. This is new for

them, getting local participants as opposed to national. They have been a terrific partner for the city of Tempe and the local charities.”

In 2009, Mr. Yes and his team of 210 raised about 250,000 for local charities. Through much encouragement, his running has improved. He trimmed more than 30 minutes from his first half marathon time in January of 2006.

“We did the San Antonio Rock N’ Roll in November and got my time down to 2:09. In January I got 2:02:19. My wife and I went to Seattle as sort of our training run and did the Seattle Rock N’ Roll Half Marathon. It was timed well to kick off this years training and get out of the heat. I was going to beat 2 hours in Seattle if it killed me. I did not quite make it. It was sort of like running a crowded roller coaster. It is a very hilly course, very

challenging, wonderful event. It was 2:01:50, my personal best. In anticipation of January’s event we are also going to do the Las Vegas Half Marathon on December 6th. I want to be in the best shape possible for the race in Tempe in January.”

He says he will eventually have to com-mit to a marathon. He has thought about doing an Ironman. He is spurred on by a friend who could not swim a 100 yards to graduate from college. That college friend, Manuel Contreras, finished an Ironman just under the cut off time. He is quite an inspira-tion for the Mayor. Currently the time to train for such an event precludes him but would like to complete one in his lifetime.

Doing double duty as Mayor and Headmaster, Hallman has more than his fare share of challenges, the running helps.

“This is the strange thing,” said Hallman. “When you start thinking about having to start running the whole prospect of get-ting up and getting it done and doing it is gruesome. But once you have started it, the prospect of not getting to run has that same horrible feeling about it. I miss running. I feel better when I am running. I feel psychologi-cally more well-balanced. I get time to myself to think and process difficult problems. It is a great opportunity to think through hard challenges and come up with creative solu-tions. Running has been a wonderful new opportunity for me and it has added a signifi-cant amount of benefit to my life. Not only do I feel better physically but it helps ones mental process.”

Closing our conversation he comes back to his new found passion.

“This program demonstrates that any-body,” said Hallman. “Truly anybody, can take on this challenge and get off the couch and become active improve their quality of life, improve their health and they can stand along with others as demonstration how to improve ones own quality of life while doing a lot of good for a lot of other people.”

As summer winds down, you have probably run your share of 5Ks and 10Ks, and maybe you’re shooting for a marathon—or, at least, are enjoying some longer runs. To enhance your training, we’ve pulled together a road shoe lineup that’s sure to keep you striding without a hitch in your giddy up. By Adam W. Chase

fA l l R oA d R u N N i N g S H o e R e V i e W

Shoe

Adidas Supernova Sequence 2, $100 / shopadidas.comWith the Supernova Sequence 2, Adidas has shown a renewed commitment to producing dependable training shoes. The Sequence is a consistent platform for everyday use and high mileage. Our testers found it felt relatively light on their feet, and the comfort of its somewhat firm midsole and the 3D ForMotion wasn’t compromised—even late in a run or after numerous training sessions. The upper felt durable and the fit is flexible enough to accommodate odd-shaped feet; the women’s-specific features of a larger forefoot platform and added flex grooves for a woman’s gait cycle are also nice touches for this dynamic yet supportive shoe. The Sequence was cushioned, in a performance sort of way, and the flow from heel to toe felt seamless to our testers. We gave this shoe the highest of marks.

Asics GEL-Nimbus 11, $125 / asics.comAsics is a brand that just gets it—and its time-tested Nimbus has earned a stellar reputation with a broad following of runners seeking plenty of cushioning. The newest version of the shoe, which appeals to both neutral runners and mild over-pronators alike, has a forefoot midsole injected with Solyte cushioning material. The stable, flexible and supportive Nimbus is specifically customized in the women’s model, including a lower density of Solyte to complement a woman’s foot. Our female testers commented on the Nimbus 11’s lighter and more streamlined feel, in comparison with the Nimbus 10. The newest iteration of the shoe features asymmetric lacing, memory foam in the tongue and is a bit lighter than prior versions, thanks in part to the removal of overlays across the toe box.

Brooks Revenna, $100 / brooksrunning.comBrooks could have called this shoe “the Trick” because of the slight-of-foot required to pack so much into a lightweight package. The Revenna is bursting with comfort, support and a fit that had our testers pleased with this go-to shoe for training and racing. Brooks gave the Revenna moderate motion control by kitting out the svelte shoe with a low-profile, cushioned and responsive midsole that features an injected plastic midfoot unit for torsional balance. The mesh upper includes microfiber construction as well as moisture management materials, and we found it quite comfortable for mid-volume feet even though the Revenna ran like a racing flat.

END OTG (for men) / PBnJ (for women), $90 / endfootwear.comEND is off the grid—hence the name, OTG—when it comes to developing

shoes that are light on both the earth and your feet. The OTG modifies END’s Biosmart midsole, the foundation of its trail shoe, to accommodate road impact with the addition of a full-length medial post for enhanced stability, and molded flex grooves and a decoupled heel into the midsole for weight-free road-worthy improvements—which is why this is one of

the lightest shoes tested. OTG’s upper features 25 percent bamboo-infused linings for wicking and odor control, 100 percent recycled laces, ten percent

recycled heel crash pad and a midsole with 50 percent less foam, compared to traditional shoes. The outsole is 25 percent recycled rubber, and the construction reduced glues and parts by 50 percent compared to END’s already-low trail shoes. The midsole provided a combination of somewhat firm cushioning and medial support and the forefoot of the shoe is noticeably wide. The shoe felt very light but had adequate cushioning, and although somewhat loose in fit, the test team felt the performance was admirable. The PBnJ is a women’s-specific version, sharing all the bells and whistles of its male counterpart. One tester found the PBnJ felt like a Nike Luna Trainer and, because of that, didn’t think the dual-density medial post had much of a motion-control effect.


K-Swiss Run One, $125 / kswiss.comWhy buy two shoes when one shoe with different inserts will satisfy your training needs? K-Swiss’ new Run One is a saver of closet space, thanks to the miSoul Tech interchangeable sole systems that allow you to toggle between a stability trainer and a lighter-weight, more neutral shoe. The plastic molded heel counter and injected urethane support cage gave the shoe rigid support, while the dual-density posting and midfoot plastic shank provided stability. Although our testers were unable to perceive a noticeable weight difference between the different inserts, and found that they altered the shoe’s internal volume by swapping out the insoles, we admired the ingenuity of the customizable system and look forward to K-Swiss’ next novel take on running footwear.

New Balance 1225, $140 / newbalance.com The 1225 was a big hit among those of the test team who appreciate stability in a cushioned, relatively lightweight and responsive shoe. The 1225 improves on the 1224 with the help of NB’s N-ergy responsive cushioning compound and Stabilicore medial support system to smooth out the heel-to-toe motion with what our testers found to be an unobtrusive level of pronation control in their gait cycle. That, of course, was not the way most testers expressed it. Rather, they smiled and said things like “fluid” or “I didn’t notice these and that is a very good thing.” The 1225 also features a bevy of cushioning, moisture management, structure, comfort and security technologies in a streamlined fit that comes in on the narrow side in the heel, although it is available in a variety of widths so as to accommodate a full range of foot sizes and shapes.

Nike LunarGlide+, $100 / nike.comNike likes to push the innovation envelope. You’ve seen it with Waffle, Air and Free and now you see it with a new adaptive midsole system called Dynamic Support, as delivered in the LunarGlide. The system adapts to your gait with each step, supplying you with cushioning and stability, but only as you need it. Thanks to the dynamic properties of the LunarLite foam core, a cushioning material that provides energy return, embedded in a firmer foam carriage, the LunarGlide bridges the gap that separates cushioning from stability. The positioning of the medial side midsole is angled to create a deeper cushion in the lateral side, creating a rear-foot and gender-specific wedge that is contoured into a firmer foam carriage to provide stability only if needed. Thus, as our testers affirmed, those who need more motion control get it courtesy of the shoe’s on-the-fly adaptation. A neutral runner who tires late in a run is likely to pronate more and, correspondingly, will get more support from the LunarGlide+. To top off this flyweight shoe, Nike uses its Flywire threads in the seamless upper to keep the LunarGlide+ at its minimalist heft.

Saucony ProGrid Triumph 6, $125 / saucony.comBuilding on its award-winning predecessor, the Triumph 6 boasts a more responsive and cushioned EVA midsole and a cushioned, wicking antimicrobial sockliner to the performance shoe of choice for runners who want a neutral, flexible, comfortable trainer. For performance, the Triumph still offers favorite midsole features of full-length ProGrid, EVA and impact-transitioning technologies. The combination of blown and more durable rubbers in the outsole will withstand miles of easy running on these “thumbs-up” shoes that our testers enjoyed because they “just didn’t notice” them, allowing them to “focus on more important things, like running.”

Under Armour Revenant, $120 / underarmour.comWith improved midsole foam, the Revenant received rave reviews from our testers. They applauded the snug fit and amount of arch support of the flexible yet protective and stable trainer. The well-orchestrated blend of support, mild motion control and cushioning was impressive—thanks to medial posting and a midsole suspension system. The plastic-framed midsole materials offered plenty of cushioning and kept our bigger testers happy, thanks to impact-absorbing EVA, polyurethane gel and an additional cushioning compound. The internal sleeved upper was almost overdone to some testers, given the overlays, but overall they liked the hugging fit and one noted: “I enjoyed running in the Revenant because it made me feel light on my feet, yet with support and cushioning.”

The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) is the world’s largest sports medicine and exercise science

organization. At ACSM’s annual meeting in Seattle, May 27-30, 2009, over 5,000 exer-cise scientists, sports dietitians, physicians and health professionals gathered to share their research. Here are a few of the nutrition highlights. More highlights are available at www.acsm.org (click on “news releases”).

Supplements• Many athletes believe protein supple-

ments are needed for building muscle. Yet, a study with college football players indi-cated no performance or muscle-building advantages from taking recovery protein in the form of a commercial supplement instead of standard food.

• Fruits and berries, including tart cherries, have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Runners who drank two 10.5 ounce bottles of tart cherry juice for one week before the 192 mile Mt. Hood to Oregon Coast relay race reported less post-race muscle pain than the placebo group.

• Black currants may also help reduce oxi-dative stress. Cyclists who consumed a pre-hard ride dose of black currant extract (the equivalent of about 1.2 cups of cur-rants), experienced less oxidative stress.

• Research suggests food tends to be more health-protective than supplements. Taking high doses of C (2000 mg), E (800 IU), A (3000 IU), and selenium (200 micro-g) for six weeks offered no benefits to trained cyclists in terms of antioxidant effects and suppressing oxidative damage.

• Almonds (and all nuts, for that matter) are a positive addition to a sports diet. For four weeks, elite cyclists enjoyed about 60 almonds a day (~450 calories) prior to meals. They increased their anti-oxidant capacity 43% after a time trial as compared to the group who ate an equal number of calories from cookies. They also improved their time trial distance by 5% compared to the cookie group.

• Just rinsing your mouth with a sports drink may help you run faster! After an overnight fast (13-15 hours without food) and before and during a one hour time trial, 10 trained runners rinsed their mouth for five seconds with a sports drink or a placebo, and then spit it out. With the sports drink mouth rinse, they were able to run 365 meters longer in the time trial.

• An effective sports drink needs to be rap-

idly absorbed. Adding sodium (40-165 mg) to the beverage does not significantly slow absorption. (1973)

• Athletes who exercise in the heat might wonder if they can “hyper-hydrate.” Yes; more fluid is retained when a sports drink has a higher sodium content. Drinking a sports drink with double and triple the standard amount of sodium contributed to retaining 25% and 35% more water (12 and 17 ounces; 340 and 480 ml) than the standard sports drink.

• About 25% of athletic trainers use pickle juice to treat muscle cramps. Some report 1 to 2 ounces of pickle juice relieves cramps within 35 seconds. The mecha-nism is illusive because rapid relief must mean that pickle juice empties from the stomach very quickly. Yet, research indi-cates pickle juice empties very slowly from the stomach.

• “LactAway” is a sports supplement that claims to reduce blood lactate. A study with highly trained kayakers does not support that manufacture’s claim.

• Chocolate milk is a good recovery choice. Cyclists did an exhaustive bike ride, recov-ered with equal amounts of carbs in chocolate milk or a commercial recovery drink, and then the next day did a time trial. The commercial drink offered no additional benefits. Save your money!

• Glutamine is reported to enhance recovery by reducing post-exercise inflam-matory responses. A study that compared a carbohydrate+essential amino acids beverage with or without glutamine taken during and after exercise offered no additional recovery benefits.

• Of 153 female soldiers starting basic training, 37% were iron deficient (serum ferritin <12 ng/mL). The women who took an iron supplement (100 mg ferrous sul-fate) improved their two-mile run-times by 86 seconds as compared to the iron deficient women who were given no iron pills. Low ferritin is associated with feel-ings of depression and fatigue.

• During endurance exercise, consuming carbs in the form of an energy bar, a gel or a sports drink are all equally effective. That is, they all get used for energy at a similar rate.

Training• Many youth swimmers spend hours train-

ing for relatively short competitive events. A six-week study with 9 to 12 year olds sug-

gests high intensity/low volume training offers the same benefits as lower inten-sity/high volume training (27 vs. 57 km/six weeks)—but in far less training time.

Calories• How may calories are burned when lifting

weights? Female subjects burned ~100 calories and the males ~ 210 in the half-hour session with two sets of 10 reps and 8 different exercises. But, if you subtract the calories for the resting metabolic rate that they would have burned just sitting quietly, they burned only ~70 (females) and ~160 (males) additional calories.

• Participants in the Western States 100 Mile Run burned about 15,850 calories in about 27 hours. This averaged about 600 calories/hour. That’s a lot of food!

• Severely obese people may need about 1800 calories just to be alive, and about 3,200 total calories a day. They don’t gain weight just smelling cookies...

Students• Exercise improves learning. Movement

and physical activity in third graders has been linked with higher scores on tests involving problem solving. Among college students, those who spend more than three hours/day studying or have a grade point average of at last 3.5 are more likely to be physically active than students who study less and get lower grades.

• While American college students tend to exercise for weight control, fitness and physical attractiveness, Chinese college students tend to exercise for health and enjoyment—sustainable reasons to exercise!

Women• The Female Athlete Triad refers to the

common problem of inadequate calorie intake, loss of menses, and stress frac-tures. The first line of treatment is to increase calorie intake or reduce expendi-ture by exercising a litle less.

• Strength training can help reduce the risk of stress fractures. Athletes with more muscle mass tend to have higher bone density. Dense bones are healthy bones!

• Fitness is more important than fat-ness. Unfortunately, only about 9% of Americans are “fit but fat” as compared to 30% who are “fit and not fat”.

big brothers big sisters oF FlAgstAFF hAlF mArAthonby Neil Weintraub A record 503 registrants signed up for the 32nd Annual Big Brothers Big Sisters(BBBS) Half Marathon, Walk, 5K Fun Run and Kid’s Dash on August 8th. Unlike the previous 31 races, the monsoons disappeared and runners had to work hard to find any mud on the course. With unseasonably cold mid-30s temperatures, many runners proudly donned their colorful long-sleeved race shirts. The picture perfect conditions added to the day by accompanying the pre-race wedding nuptials of veteran runner David Bluestein to Kristy XU.

“We got married just before the race started and ran the race amid cheers and congratulations,” said Bluestein. “Of course we stopped at every water stop to pose for a photo - and kiss! Instead of wedding cake, we fed each other m&m's at one of the water stops. It was a beautiful day to get married! Let the race of ‘life’ begin!”

Several hundred racers helped them celebrate with a champagne toast. At the halfway aid station, runners took part in the second annual cup poll, this time deciding that the Cardinals would win the Superbowl! Last year they accurately predicted the presidential outcome.

On the men’s side, Matt Clark, who races with post-collegiate run-ning team McMillan Elite, crossed the finish line first. Sara Wagner, 2008 BBBS Flagstaff Half winner, cruised in uncontested. She safely beat her closest competitor by more than seven minutes. That was her fifth win out of six races in the Flagstaff Summer Series. The win-ners took home Flagstaff artist Arne ceramic glazed Championship Plates and Salomon Trail Shoes. The event raised nearly $30,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Flagstaff.

The race also concluded the fifth annual Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Flagstaff Summer Running Series. A record 140 participants signed up for the package of six Flagstaff races. Sara Wagner and Eric Bohn won the Open Division titles while Lisa Loughran and Richard Doucett won the Master’s Division. To see the entire series standings, visit www.natra.org.

On July 19 More than 800 athletes lined Lake Mary’s edge in anticipation of the 25th Annual Mountain Man Triathlon. Racers mentally prepared for the Flagstaff course, which hosted the Half Iron, Olympic and Sprint distances. Matthew Hoffman, in his early 20's and from Atlanta, Ga, made an impressive showing by winning the Half Iron. He was also first out of the water for that distance. Meanwhile, Sue Meno from Anthem, Ariz. placed first among the women and placed 12th overall in the race. Leo Carrillo won the Olympic distance and Kathy Rakel, a former TriCat from University of Arizona took top honors in the women's race. Rakel (SWEAT cover girl July 2008) trains with Grasky Endurance Sports and represented Goodfellow Air Force Base. She has been an Arizona triath-lete standout since she started triathlons in July of 2007.

“On race day I was really happy with my swim. I believe I was second female out of the water so my focus on the bike was to catch up to the woman ahead of me. I caught her and we rode together for a while; I was not able to drop her until the run.” said Rakel. A couple of her A-races for this year are USAT Age Group Nationals and Best of U.S. Amateur Triathlete Competition. She is looking forward to getting her pro-card in 2010.
