Introduction by Marga Uy-Baula
The best part about this craziness is the growth of a run-off-the-mill individual to that of an athlete; from a struggling runner, biker, and swimmer to an adequate one… to, if you work hard enough, a podium finisher. Be inspired by Kira's story of falling down, feeling awkward in the ministrations of a stroke or a pedal but most importantly, getting up, dusting yourself off, laughing at yourself even… and knowing, really knowing that after all the hardwork, you know that you have proven yourself worthy, not to anyone else, but to yourself and to this ballet of a sport called triathlon.
I couldn't swim and was afraid of the water until just two (2) years ago when I finally learned now. I also couldn't bike until just almost six (6) months ago, when I learned how to bike on my own under the supervision of random security guards and construction workers who would give me tips as I bike.
My journey into transitioning to triathlon was not easy, it was arduous even. I am not the most courageous of athlete, not even a courageous person in general, but no one will ever say I didn't try. I literally expanded blood, sweat, and tears, getting over the shame of crying out of fear of a 50 meter pool and repeatedly falling off my bike and having to hide my scrapes and bruises from my parents.
I wanted it and I did it! There is truly power in just believing, no matter what anyone say or the number of stares you get from being much an awkward swimmer or biker that YOU CAN.
Believe in yourself.

The recurring themes of team collaboration, pushing athletic limits and pursuit of fitness permeate Endure's 2014 triathlon season. In February, Challenge Philippines half-distance triathlon became a platform for Noelle de Guzman to showcase her significant improvements in the three disciplines. A Challenge Philippines ambassador, Noelle conquered the soon-to-be legendary seven hills of Bataan and finished third in her age group. It was also an athletic Challenge for daddy BongZ, who escapes the cozy home every Sunday to be strong enough to do the Challenge relay. For other members of the team, it was a Challenge to claim back their fitness. The race spurred kenkoyrunner Timmy Sebastian to run more and shed pounds, and for RJ Bumanglag to relieve some of banking pressures in the swimming pool. It was also a pursuit of fitness for solo Challengers Rico Villanueva and Hanna Sanchez. Rico used the big Challenge to lose 25 lbs and overcome his fear of bike downhills. In true Endure fashion, Hanna provided jovial company to Rico in many bike course recons, and selflessly slowed down to pace a triathlete friend from another team in the arduous run.
March which is Endure's anniversary month began with four teammates participating in Tri Manila. Strongman John Doctor moved water and hammered it on the bike, and probably landed in the Top 5 or Top 10 of his large age group. Newbie Kira Ang reaped the benefits of her swim training with LC Langit, and happily biked in normally trafficked Roxas Boulevard.
For someone who has been biking just for a couple of months, that's some achievement. Rico Villanueva used the Tri Man to have a fun break after Challenge Philippines. For Gerard Cinco, Tri Man was an appetizer for the Ateneo Aquathlon the next day. Multisport addicts that they are, all four Endure members did the weekend back-to-back treat of Tri Man – Ateneo Aquathlon. Endure loves the Ateneo Aquathlon race because the team bonded in swim training sessions for this race in its formative years. The 2014 race edition was a homecoming of sorts as now Cagayan de Oro-based Joel Ramos was in town to join the race.
The race venue was teeming in Endure blue as twelve aquathletes from Endure joined. It was a fun and happy race, with Challenge-recovering Noelle still managing first place, triathlete-on-vacation Joel snagging second place, and Kira third place in their respective age groups. John was fourth in a strong field, while Gerard proved that CrossFit works by placing fourth behind the usual podium winners. The rest of the team all met their overall race objectives. Endure is excited to race Tri United 1 this weekend in Subic. It also has new Aspirants in this multisport adventure. It's been a good month, great year so far. May the lucky streak last and endure.]]>
Swimming 900 laps is never easy but I am willing to do it for CARA Welfare Philippines and all the abused animals under their care. I want to help in away I can. i am not rich so I thought of a fundraiser where people can donate for my dedication. Swimming is the only sport I can think of that will leave battle marks on my body.
We started preparing last January when my friends Melly Ng, Irene Ong, Franz Anton and Arturo Virata helped me. We talked about our promotional strategy and how we would talk to people about the event. One said I could do 600 laps. At that time, it was farfetched but when I think about it, it was comparably lower than 900.
We started the journey by talking to CARA and telling them we want to organize an event to support their cause. They cheerfully agreed and help us with the posters. Melly did most of the promotional stuff, Doc Art strategize how to take care of my body, Franz made sure that my body is still intact after numerous hours by applying what he learned as a licensed physical therapist and Irene being a veteran in ultramathon knows what to do when my body breaks down. We all did what we were good at for CARA. They all love animals too which made it easier for them to donate their time to this endeavor.
I wasn't really prepared about swimming the distance. It has been maybe one or two months since my last proper training. I just swam a week before the event to test the water as Melly puts it. I know that I would finish the event just because I will not stop until I finish 900 laps. I just did it by heart.
The day finally arrived; I didn't work the day before the event. I figured that I will just do my pending paper works on Sunday, the day after the event. However, I cannot lift my arms and I was under the spell of the bed telling me to stay where I needed to be.
We started at 6:45am. The first few kilometers were all smile because I do not feel pain anywhere. It is just up until lunch break where my body gradually died and all I can do was sit there while my friends attended to me.
I was breaking down during the last few thousand kilometers. My body aches in places where I didn't know can even be susceptible to long distance swimming. Good thing support from friends who swam with me kept me going until the end of the event.
Finally, I reached the last kick! It was almost 11 hours of non-stop swim all for the benefit of CARA.
I did not hesitate to this vent without proper training for CARA Welfare Philippines. They help abused animals get a home through care until the right family takes them. They have given a lot of animals a second chance to live. That is what amazes me. I know the money that we were able to gather is in good hands. We were able to double our target which is good news for them. All their cats and dogs can be found near CSB. Contact CARA in their facebook page to find out more about on how to donate.

Nutrition is key to becoming an overall healthy triathlete, but it becomes even more important on race day for fueling performance, avoiding GI issues and recovering from your efforts. Follow this sample menu, suggested by nutrition and performance coach Krista Austin, Ph.D., for guidelines on how to eat on race day. You will want to test-run your nutrition/meals during training so there are no surprises. A cardinal rule in triathlon: Don't do or try anything new on race day.
Night Before The Race
5:30 p.m. Low-fiber dinner: White spaghetti with a low-fat meat marinara sauce and white bread rolls; or rice and lean meat with a low-fat sauce. Drink electrolyte beverages.
Why: "Energy-rich carbohydrate helps top off glycogen stores for race day, and all of the meal helps minimize the chance of GI distress," Austin says.
5 tips for The Night Before
1. Eat a relatively early dinner, no later than 12 hours before your race start if possible.
2. Make carbohydrates (rice, pasta, bread, veggies) the focal point of your pre-race dinner, but don't feel compelled to gorge on them.
3. Avoid foods you seldom eat. Try to eat something similar to the type of dinner you normally eat before a big day of training.
4. Consider choosing a "ritual" dinner that you re-create more or less exactly before every race. This can calm pre-race anxiety and put you in the right mind frame to compete.
5. Don't drink too much water (or other fluid). You are not a camel. You cannot store water. Overhydrating will only necessitate sleep-ruining bathroom trips during the night.
Race Day (time will vary depending on your local tri events time)
5 a.m. Light breakfast: Plain bagel with creamy peanut butter and a cup of coffee.
Why: "Foods rich in carbohydrate, such as a bagel, will help restore liver glycogen that was depleted overnight," Austin says. "These are also low in residue, which will help minimize GI distress during competition." If your body can tolerate coffee, Austin says caffeine "can help increase the amount of work you can perform and sustain."
6–6:50 a.m. Sip a sports drink.
Why: "Supplying carbohydrate in the hour prior to competition can help maintain stable blood-glucose levels and has been shown to enhance performance," Austin says.
7–8:30 a.m. For a sprint race lasting 1.5 hours, take in 30–60g of carbohydrate, ideally in liquid form on the bike. Aim for 20–24oz of liquid with 200mg of sodium per 6–8oz.
Why: For a race longer than 60 minutes, carbohydrates help performance by delaying muscle glycogen depletion, Austin says.
8:45 a.m. Recover with 1 gram of carbohydrate per kilogram of body weight (if you're 150 pounds, that's 68kg, so 68g of carbs) and 6–20g of protein. Good options include: a protein recovery beverage, PB&J sandwich, yogurt and cereal or cheese and crackers.
Why: "Carbohydrate consumption immediately after competition helps facilitate recovery by restoring muscle glycogen and minimizing inflammation," Austin says. "Protein assists with the body's ability to take in carbohydrate and restores broken-down muscle."
11 a.m. Eat a recovery snack comprising 50–55 percent carbohydrate with the rest being lean proteins and healthy fats. Good options include: a banana with nut butter, Greek yogurt, fruit and granola or eggs and whole-wheat toast.
Why: "Eating every two to three hours assists in maintaining a stable blood glucose level, which not only facilitates recovery but is also important for sustaining metabolism, optimizing body composition and overall health," Austin says.
1 p.m. Lunch: chili, baked potato, salad and fruit
Why: "Chili contains meat and beans with appropriate amounts of protein and fiber to help lower the meal's glycemic response, along with the fiber found in salad and fruit," Austin says. "The fiber and protein content will also help you feel full and satisfied. Remember to control your portions though—since a 1.5-hour competition does not cause a significant energy deficit."
4 p.m. Snack: Low-glycemic, same goal and options as 11 a.m.
Why: Continues to aid in recovery and sustains metabolism.
7 p.m. Dinner: Lean red meat, grilled vegetables, polenta and fruit; real-fruit sorbet for dessert
Why: "Red meat contains protein, and the fiber in grilled vegetables and fruit will help lower the glycemic response, since metabolism slows as we prepare for bed," Austin says. "Red meat is also good for endurance athletes to help maintain iron stores. Sorbet should provide a treat that is not overly high in calories, but does provide a reward for the day's race."
CARA (Compassion and Responsibility for Animals) is a group of animal-loving professionals who are determined to help these poor animals and give them the lives they rightfully deserve. It is a non-profit, non-government organization with this mission:
* educate the public on animal welfare
* promote compassion for animals and responsible pet ownership
* address animal cruelty and abuse
* effectively control street animal overpopulation
Hanna Sanchez, a Filipina triathlete and a member of Endure Multisport, aims to swim 900 laps to raise funds for abandoned and abused animals under CARA's care.

While there was a lot of fast-paced action on Day 1 of the Asian Triathlon Championships (double-billed as the Subic Bay International Triathlon), most of the people in Subic were age groupers there for Day 2, when they would compete. For my second standard distance, I definitely felt like I crammed my training just a bit. Would I beat my previous time? There was only one way to find out.
Unlike last year when I rode up to Dungaree Beach to set up my T1, I had a ride from my parents who were there to support me in lieu of my ENDURE teammates (who were still there in spirit!). This meant that I had plenty of time to fuss over the contents of my T1 box, head to the bathroom, and do a warm-up swim. The water was warm and comforting, which did a lot to ease my pre-race jitters.
And then my heart rate shot up again when the all-women standard wave was suddenly released with very little prelude or fanfare. I hurriedly fitted my goggles over my eyes and started swimming.
One of my goals for this race was to complete the swim without resorting to too much backstroke; I've been working hard on my freestyle and I knew it would be the faster stroke. However, after a few minutes of getting jostled, I flipped over and did about 200 meters of backstroke waiting for the mass of swimmers to dissipate. Then I started doing the freestyle again and before I knew it I hit one of the turnaround buoys!
I found my freestyle and my rhythm on the second loop (and finally set eyes on Dungaree's infamous abyss). I somehow inadvertently kept slipping into a space in front of one swimmer who probably didn't like getting overtaken (I felt hands grab my ankles a few times), but we were probably matched in speed because I couldn't pull away anyway. I need to work on sighting because I kept veering left on the way back, which lengthened my swim time by more than a few minutes.
Coming out of the water, I felt noticeably fresher than I did last year, which meant that long bike ride up the hilly Corregidor Road wasn't an ordeal trying to get my breath back. The previous week's bike recon was definitely a huge help because I was forewarned about where to attack and where just to keep the wheels spinning.
I was still undertrained and knew it; I could feel the first twinges of cramps coming over my hamstrings after the U-turn past Bunker Bob's. I spun through the cramps on a lighter gear and enjoyed the downhills.
On the flat portion of the bike course, one girl on a tri bike kept overtaking me. I overtook her once, but figured it would waste too much leg power trying to keep the lead. Instead, I kept her in sight (no drafting, of course) and figured I'd just eat up her lead once we got on the run course.
The smaller 10-kilometer loop came and went by pretty quickly; I was just thankful I had kept upright on all the U-turns, which aren't my favorite thing at all.
Because of the speed we were going on our bikes, we didn't feel the heat. But that changed when we started the run. By then the sun was merciless, and the course was mostly unshaded. Despite pouring water over my head at every aid station, by the end of the first loop I had to pull up my tri top to let some heat out.
Again, the cramps crept up my legs just like they did last year. But this time, I was prepared for them and knew the only way to keep them at bay was to keep running. So I flew through my three loops; it really helped that the cheering crowd was sizeable at the time, and populated with friends! Just before the last stretch, I smoothed my hair back, pulled my tri top down, and set off on a finish sprint.
Because the swim start was so abrupt, I hadn't been able to start my stopwatch or even check what time our gunstart had been. So when I crossed the finish line, I knew I felt good but didn't know whether I had beaten my previous year's time of 3 hours and 19 minutes.
Suddenly I was being draped with a finisher medal. Wait, SuBIT never had finisher medals before! This was a nice touch since it was the 20th anniversary of SuBIT — and because other triathlons in the country now give out finisher medals. Hey, it beats getting a souvenir towel every year!
After jumping into the ice bath and getting my photo taken at the finish booth, I found Raymond and Sid (from my Thursday group runs) who had both posted monstrous sub-3 hour times.
The celebratory mood continued when I came across my runner friends Bave and Cris. They were there as part of a huge group of relay participants instigated by Running Host Boy Ramos, who taught many of them how to swim. I challenged them to do the whole thing by next year.
As is my habit, I showered and changed just in time to attend the post-race brunch and awarding ceremony at Travellers Hotel, which was home base for the triathlon. I missed my teammates the most during this part because I was the only one in our post-race Mizuno shirt. I felt slightly out of place and took a seat at an empty table. Thankfully, Chang of XTRM Tri popped in to collect her first place age group prize, so I had someone to sit and chat with.
As the winners of my new age group (30-34, ugh!) were called, I knew I wasn't going to step onto the podium. While in previous years the organizers awarded up to fifth place, this year they were only awarding up to third place. (Last year, I was in fifth place in my age group.) A little while later, president of TRAP Tom Carrasco leaned over to our table and said, "Fourth place ka. Sayang!"
But wait! Awarding wasn't over yet. The marketing people from Century Tuna have customarily given out awards for Best Triathlon Superbod at SuBIT. Usually this ends up in the male winners taking their shirts off, haha. I readied my camera.
And then I was called to the stage.
I knew I had shed a lot of fat since last year and built up some muscle, but (2nd place) Superbod? Wow! What positive reinforcement. And yes, P7,500 is a great motivator.
After a full weekend of covering Day 1 (live Twitter feed) and participating in Day 2, I felt really positive and upbeat about my SuBIT/ASTC Asian Triathlon Championships experience. After I saw my splits, I improved in all three legs! So how was your race?

Last December 2012, I finished my first road ultramarathon – Tagaytay 2 Nasugbu 50km run, together with Melvin Pangan. After that, I eagerly waited for my next ultramarathon.
This year, The North Face 100 ultra series opened up their registration. My wife Arzen and I signed up for it. Bold enough (madness as you call it), I filled up the registration form and joined the 50km category, while Arzen registered for 11km, since this will be her first official run race after giving birth.
As a mountaineer, climbing, hiking and running on rugged terrains were a familiar thing to us, so we kind of have a substantial confidence level in joining this race.
We joined Salomon X-Trail as our tune up race. She joined the 12km category while I joined the 24km event. The race came, and I told myself that it will be just an easy race for me, (face palm for thinking that!). The supposedly tune up race turned out to be one of the hardest trail run I had in my entire life. I came unprepared and finished the race beyond the cut off. That race hit me big time and made me realize that trail runs should not be taken so easily.
Thus my game plan for TNF started. With that incident in mind, I carefully planned my nutrition, the route, the gears I have to wear and bring. I even studied the elevation profile. I made sure to download the image of the route and elevation profile and made it my laptop wallpaper to help me focus at the task at hand. I memorized the route by heart and mind, thought of each aid station, calculated the distances between each station, and elevation loss and gain of the course. I joined Meljohn Tezon (aka BoyPraning) during their trainings, running 33km of trails, uphill and downhill and even running under the scorching heat of the sun. After completing my training with them, that was the only time I regained my confidence in trail running.
Then race week came. Early morning of Thursday, Arzen, Xander and I, together with our entire family, went to Baguio. We were planning to do a day tour first on Friday before my event on Saturday. On Friday, after our day tour of Baguio, I went to Azalea Residences to attend the race briefing. The race director informed us that last year, only 33% of the participants finished the course. That's the main reason why they're using the same course this year – as redemption for others. After the briefing, I decided not to take the buffet dinner anymore and instead went to SM Baguio to do last minute shopping for some gears I needed. After that, I went back to our transient house to do a last minute check with my gears and food/nutrition. Arzen prepared for me boiled potato, hardboiled egg, and tortilla sandwich with corned beef – all were wrapped with aluminum foil. In addition to the food she prepared for me, I also had some raisins and jellies. For my hydration, I prepared a bottle of Gatorade, bladder of water (2L) and a bottle of coke. I took a bath and headed for a sweet sleep beside my son.
And then the judgment day came. I woke up as early as 2am, and suited up my battle gears. I woke up Arzen and had my top secret breakfast. Around 3am we took a cab and headed up to Camp John Hay. As we arrived in the starting line, we saw the 100km runners already starting their madness as they were released at 3am. I lined up for the last minute gear inspection and prepared for it. At exactly 4am we were released to start our perils.
The first 9 kilometers was relatively flat and a bit of downhill. Runners ended up in Loakan airport where our first aid station (AS10) was located. I checked my watch and it was already 6:22am, around 1hr and 43minutes from gun start. The aid station had pandesal, 100plus and of course, water! I took a pandesal, refilled my water bottles and drank 100plus. Before I left the aid station, I turned on my secret weapon – my mp3 and speaker! (Cue in Eye of the Tiger!)
The next 5.8kms was a steep downhill. There were parts of the trail where you get a scenic view of Kennon Road. We reached a part of the mountain where the locals cultivate the sides of the mountain and made it as vegetable farm. After that part, we ended up in the residential area of Camp 6, Benguet. We found our way through the residential streets (thank God for those TNF flags that helped us navigate our way) and took a foot bridge that led us to an elementary school. A few meters away we saw the next aid station (AS9). I checked again my time and it was already 7:36am, 2hrs and 57minutes from the gun start. I took from the backpack my homemade corned beef tortilla and one boiled potato, I ate it and stayed in the aid station for around 7 minutes. Before leaving the station, I filled up my bladder and water bottles, because I knew after this aid station, another grueling 9kms of uphill was next.
After AS9, we were welcomed by the hanging bridge that helped us cross to the other side of the mountain. We went for a few meters of uphills before ending up on a trail beside a cliff.
After that part of the route, the ascending portion of the route started. The climb was really f$%ck!87 hard. This was one of the hardest climbs of my life, or even my second life. For some parts of it, we did it 4×4 style (using not just our feet but also our hands just to climb). It took me almost 4 hours from the last station until I reached the top. Four effin' hours just to cover 9kms! Imagine that!
The top at last! I reached the radar station of Mt. Cabuyao and went to the aid station (AS8), with 21.76km on my gps and 6hrs and 23mins from gunstart. It was almost 11am, my bladder and water bottles were both almost empty. Thank God for this aid station! At the aid station was a buffet party! It was a feast for all the hungry souls. It offered us different foods – cup noodles, chicken soup, rice, bananas, beef and potatoes, hotdog, hardboiled egg, coffee, ice cold water and more.
Before I headed up to Mt Sto. Tomas, where the next aid station and u-turn point was located, I decided to fill up my tummy. I got rice, beef and potato, hotdog, Chuckie, and a hot cup of coffee. After I finished my lunch, I went up again to reach Sto Tomas and the u-turn point. I told myself that in order to reach my cut off of 14 hours, I had to get back at AS8 after u-turn point at exactly 1pm. Again feeling energized, I ran going up to Mt. Sto. Tomas. There were portions that were concrete and there were parts that were not yet done. It was a wide road but the sharp-edged rocks made it difficult to run through. Finally, I reached the u-turn point for 50km category at 7hours and 37minutes, at around 12:20pm.
Before I headed up to Mt Sto. Tomas, where the next aid station and u-turn point was located, I decided to fill up my tummy. I got rice, beef and potato, hotdog, Chuckie, and a hot cup of coffee. After I finished my lunch, I went up again to reach Sto Tomas and the u-turn point.

Finally, I reached the u-turn point for 50km category at 7hours and 37minutes, at around 12:20pm.
Finally it's downhill time! I checked my watch; I only had 40mins to get back at AS8. Since it was downhill, I ran and was able pass other runners. I got back to AS8, approximately 31.8kms, or 8hours and 33minutes from gun start, around past 1pm. It was behind my personal cut off. I told myself that I will leave this station around 1:30pm. Again, I grabbed a cup of noodles and cup of hot coffee. I texted Arzen and informed her that I might be able to finish it around 8pm.
This time around, I recalculated my target time to reach AS9/Camp 6, Kennon Road to be around 3pm. Since it was a steep downhill, I was able to put in extra speed going down. I felt that my shoes were really doing well on rocks. It did not slip on rocks and gave me a descending advantage. Going down, I was able to pass runners who decided to walk down the trail.
I reached AS9 (Camp 6, Kennon) at around 3pm, had my refill and ate my trail food. There was a "sari-sari" store beside the aid station so I bought two bottles of coke. Feeling good that I was able to reach my goal time for this station, I was able to put more speed and gave myself an earlier target finish time at 7pm.
I left aid station 9 and proceeded to next station at Loakan. It was another steep uphill, and again, I passed through the residential area and then the vegetable farm on the side of the mountain. I reached at AS10 at around 5:30pm, 6kms to go to the finish line. I texted Arzen, and told her that I might finished it around 7pm since most of the last part is paved roads with trails. We entered trails of Camp John Hay, just like the first part of the race. During the last 6kms, I was joined by a Singaporean guy (forgot his name). And then it was last 200meters before to the finish line, I sprinted my way and able to pass by the Singaporean guy.
Hooray! I finished my first ultra race in 14hours and 35minutes, though 35minutes behind my personal cut off, but still happy to finish it before 18hours (race cut off) and conquered one of the hardest trail race in the land. I was so happy to see my wife again and headed to our transient house, was also really excited to see Xander.

As you know, we sometimes read and heard in the news some incidents involving participants died while racing in triathlon. Coach Rick Ledesma of Firstwavetri, a tri community forum, initiated a collective information what causes the unfortunate events.
Coach Rick consulted Dr. Randy Molo on questions & theories that occurred in that moment. Dr. Randy Molo practices as an orthopedic surgeon, member of Phil. Center for Sports Medicine working with RP athletes and the Azkals, consultant for one shoe brand, and also a member of multisport team.
The interview made happen so that the multisport community will be more aware of the health issue that go with triathlon sport.
Here are some general information that Coach Rick asked.
1) What are the check-ups necessary to ensure ones fitness capability before joining races…
First things first –the sport that we all love (Multisport) is categorized as an endurance form of sport. What that means is that it is designed for us to go Faster, farther, further by pushing our physical bodies and the processes it's capable of doing to its limits. This limit is our physical and physiologic threshold. This actually varies from individual to individual, hence some people are actually faster than others or why there's huge performance gains in another while some are near or at their limit already. Our performance thresholds are more or less dictated by our genetics and the ability of our heart and lungs to adapt to the various demands of the progressively more difficult things that we do as we participate.
With this in mind, there is absolutely no single test that can be done to quantify or put into context what our actual threshold is. Indirectly, doctors can do various tests that give you numbers and exercise indicators like a STRESS TEST or a CARDIOPULMONARY EXERCISE TEST (CPET) but if you think about it, we never really test you to absolute exhaustion or to the point of inducing a cardiac event like a heart attack.
Doctors would like to think of it as a RISK ASSESSMENT or STRATIFICATION that would best identify red flags concerning medical issues and try to limit the unknown/unassessed medical concerns that can potentially put your multisport participation at risk. You are then classified as low , moderate, high risk or Class I to IV depending on your actual assessment.
At St. Luke'sGlobalCity– We are in the process of forming a team of Sports Specialists (i.e. Sports Physician, Sports Surgeon, Sports Cardiologist, Exercise Pulmonologist, Rehab MD) who will make a thorough sports related assessment.
Actual tests may include a physical assessment, a pre-participation form that an athlete will answer, an ECG, a 2D-Echo. Other options may include a stress test, or a CPET…The tests are geared for sports participation and not for office work participation and are thus probably not part of an annual physical exam.
Once assessed, you may then know actual risks for participating in sport and that should guide you in your training and eventual participation.
2) What health signs should we be aware of that can be early detection:
- during training
There is a free online available form from theAmericanCollegeof Sports Medicine called a pre-participation in sports form. It is answerable by yes or no. Generally, they cover for issues related to the heart and lungs like chest pain, dizziness, light headedness, difficulty of breathing. If you frequently collapse while training or racing it might be worthwhile for you to have yourself evaluated. Some things are not necessarily just caused by nutritional issues or exhaustion related events.
- while racing
as above. A safe guide to pull over is if in a particular circumstance
1.) you think you cannot safely protect yourself as you participate
2.) you think you cannot orient yourself properly to time, location, and getting back to someone /some place where someone can provide help
3.) you think that taking a 5-10min. pause or break does not improve a situation
4.) When in doubt –use extreme caution and call it a day.
3) Is a heart rate monitor a good tool for training/racing to avoid the unfortunate?
A heart rate monitor only shows you 1 thing and that is HEART RATE (or heart beats in a minute). What's more important as a source of cardiac events or medical issues is the rhythm of the heartbeat. Things like irregular heartbeats, pauses or fast and slow beats or even murmurs are not obviously assessed by a heart rate monitor. An HRMs use is therefore used to indirectly measure exertion as measured only by training zones calculated either in the lab or based on ones' age. It may be used as physiologic guides for training improvement but not for looking for a cardiac event.
In fact most heart doctors sometimes will make you wear a bulky portable device called a Holter monitor that is essentially a portable ECG that you wear for 24 hours and records all heart rates and tracings over a 24 hour period. This is a helpful tool but obviously not practical and feasible for training and involves an interpretation by an expert.
4) How long is a good rest/recovery period between hard races?
Tricky question as this has to be individualized. Ideally and generally, people can cycle their recovery periods in macro or micro cycles depending on their genetics, physiologic thresholds and even an unquantifiable thing called race experience.
Think of it this way…once a person recognizes his/her threshold (I probably would define it as going at a pace that is comfortable –bordering on being uncomfortable already)….to make it as simple as possible—no one wants to race as uncomfortably as often and as frequently as this creates changes in the processes and anatomy of your heart, lungs, muscles etc. Sometimes these changes are actually creating irreversible harmful situations already.
If one races/performs at "SUBTHRESHOLD" or below discomfort level –then that should be fine as you can have a shorter recovery period in between races…Remember –YOU SHOULD NOT PEAK EVERYTIME—and at EACH and EVERY RACE that you enter. That is not wise and obviously, virtually impossible as it will lead to a drop in performance at some point
5) Should there be steps other participants can do to help when a co-participant that is down?
It would be very nice (but not mandatory) to have a personal initiative to have BASIC FIRST AID or BASIC LIFE SUPPORT (BLS) training as it's a 4 hour course offerred by various groups like red cross. Dictum id, if you know what you are doing, then by all means offer help –but if not, then the next best help you can offer is clearing the way and calling for a person who is capable of helping a downed person.
6)As organizers:
6.1) Should we require medical clearance before an event?
No such thing as a foolproof clearance. As with any event all over the world, the better word to use is a sports participation risk stratification.
That being said—it should be a personal initiative by the athlete to not take short cuts in their personal health and to devote a reasonable amount of time to get themselves checked for an added "peace of mind" as they participate.
As organizers – waivers concerning medical related events are mandatory but as it is –there are no standards as to the veracity of medical "clearances/notes" as well as how and what testing procedures the athlete took to obtain the "clearance"
6.2) If yes, how long is a medical clearance good (3 months, 6 months etc)
Ideally annual assessments are required as our anatomic and physiologic parameters can vary , adapt, regress in that period. Obviously any medical event or complaint does not prevent anyone from getting tested at shorter intervals.
6.3) What should we require each ambulance to have at the minimum? (medicines, doctor on board or just nurse)
O2, AED (automated defibrillator), and most importantly –a well trained staff versed in endurance sport related medical concerns. Paramedics are fine but have to be supervised by a race medical director.
6.4) Any red flag signs we as organizers should be aware of when a participant registers with a past medical history?
These should be part of the pre-participation evaluation submitted by the athlete with due emphasis on answering them as HONESTLY and as thoroughly as possible.
Please add any info you can share just to give a heads up to the multisport community.
Well , among the many known causes of Sudden Death in Sports –majority of them are tied up with the heart and they can include: Arrhythmias (irregular heart rates/speed/erratic rhythm); M.I. (myocardial infarctions thickened heart walls, poor blood flow and oxygenation to the heart etc); Blood issues – clots from deep veins, hypercoagulable ("thicker than usual" blood concentrations) situations; Emboli – things that can be thrown or travel from the leg vessels and lodge/block an artery to the heart or brain. These emboli can be clots or fat globules. Then again—people can have a stroke event due to various stressors. At the end of the day – -there is no single predictor who will get these issues and when —-what people are after is trying to catch the red flags associated with this issues and advise people accordingly regarding possible risks as they participate.

Wesch handled the holding duties in all 13 games, as sophomore place-kicker Alex Henery was 56-of-57 on extra points and 18-of-21 on field goal attempts. The field-goal unit capped the year with Henery's school-record 57-yard field goal against Colorado.
Wesch also punted in three games, putting one punt inside the 20-yard line against Missouri, along with a career-best 55 yarder against Texas Tech and a 50-yarder at Iowa State. Wesch also connected on an eight-yard pass to tight end Mike McNeill on a fake field goal against Texas Tech, allowing NU to score a touchdown on the next play. He also executed a fake field goal pitch to Alex Henery for a first down late in the Kansas game.
2007 (Junior)
2006 (Sophomore)
The biggest play of Wesch's season came from his arm, not his leg, against Kansas State. From his holder position, Wesch helped pull off a perfectly executed fake field-goal attempt with a 17-yard touchdown strike to tight end Hunter Teafatiller, giving NU a 7-0 first-quarter lead.

Japan Can't Spend Its Way Back to Growth
A sense of optimism is palpable in Japan as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe takes the country's helm for a second time. Yet as his government promises to create more jobs and invest in emerging technologies to get the country back on its feet once and for all, the reality is that Japan cannot afford to spend its way out of lackluster growth. What the country really needs is sweeping social change that will tap into the power of women in the labor market and bold leadership to make painful cuts to welfare spending.
The fact that Abe's Liberal Democratic Party won an overwhelming majority in the December elections highlights Japanese voters' thirst for strong leadership and political stability after having cycled through seven prime ministers in as many years. Certainly, Abe's decision this month to unveil a $116 billion fiscal stimulus aimed at creating 600,000 jobs and jump-starting green technology and other up-and-coming industries reveals the government's understanding of where its priorities should lie. Still, it is clear that continued high spending on public works, childcare and the elderly is no longer sustainable. Indeed, the price of the latest stimulus package will be paid in part by selling about $55 billion in government bonds, even as Japan struggles with the biggest debt-to-GDP ratio among industrialized nations. ...

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Still relatively unnoticed and under-appreciated, shares of Gannett (GCI - Get Report) hit a 52-week high Tuesday, closing at $17. That's the first close above $17 since February 2011 for this company, which many still see as a dinosaur.
It also marks the continuation of Gannett's struggle for relevance in the eyes of investors since it looked like it might implode in early 2009.
At that time, its shares were changing hands for less than two bucks. Advertising was in a deep slump, amid the recession we were struggling through, and the company was burdened with debt to the tune of $3.8 billion. No one wanted to own a newspaper company.

Alan George Hurst (born 15 July 1950 at Altona, Victoria) is a former Australian cricketer who played in twelve Tests and eight ODIs between 1975 and 1979. A muscular, broad-shouldered man with a shock of dark hair and a big moustache, Alan Hurst fit the archetype of Australian fast bowler, 1970s style.
In only his second first class season, Hurst played a single Test in Adelaide during a series against New Zealand where the selectors were "experimenting" heavily in anticipation of the Ashes series later in the year.[1] He captured the wicket of the Kiwis' star bat Glenn Turner, but wasn't selected to make the trip across the Tasman for the return series a few weeks later, despite a request from Australian skipper Ian Chappell that he do so. Chappell considered Hurst the fastest bowler in the country with Dennis Lillee sidelined by a severe back injury.[2] The rise of Jeff Thomson during the Ashes series later in 1974 pushed Hurst further down the pecking order in the hunt for a baggy green cap. Hurst was still in the thoughts of the selectors and he was given a place on the 1975 tour to England that included the inaugural World Cup. Again, in the shadow of the Lillee-Thomson combination, Hurst didn't play a Test or an ODI.
Hurst's next flirtation with international representation came in early 1976 when he toured South Africa with Richie Benaud's International Wanderers team. Opening with Dennis Lillee, the strapping Victorian lost nothing by comparison as far as pace was concerned. However, Hurst's injury problems looked set to sentence him to one-cap/one-wicket status until the advent of World Series Cricket (WSC). After knocking back a contract with the rebel organisation, Hurst was selected for the entire Ashes series during the summer of 1978-79. In six Tests, he grabbed 25 wickets and formed an opening partnership with debutant Rodney Hogg that rivalled Lillee-Thomson for potency. Even though Australia was hammered 5-1, the England players were full of praise for Hurst, whose sustained pace and stamina impressed those who had previously believed him to be physically suspect.
Hurst then blew Pakistan away in the second Test with nine wickets on the fast Perth pitch. Selected to go England for the second World Cup in 1979, Hurst had a reasonable tour but it was the trip to India in October of that year that proved fateful. After going wicketless in two Tests, Hurst was forced to return home due to a serious back injury. Faced with potential incapacitation in later life if he continued to play, Hurst opted to retire from all cricket.[3] He played again briefly for Victoria in 1980-81. In first class cricket, he captured 280 wickets at 26.28 with a best performance of eight for 84.
Hurst was an athletic man in the outfield who bowled with an elaborate, "winding" delivery stride that generated real pace. He was a terrible batsman, scoring 10 ducks in 20 Test innings. In the 1978-79 Ashes series, he set a record by scoring two pairs. The only truly controversial incident of his career happened in the 1979 Perth test when Alan Hurst ran out Pakistan's number eleven batsman Sikander Bakht at the bowler's end as Bakht was backing up too far - the fourth such instance in Test cricket. Later in the day, Australian batsman Andrew Hilditch was given out after an appeal for handled the ball and became the only non-striker to have suffered that decision. Hilditch picked up a wayward throw that had dribbled onto the pitch and handed the ball back to Sarfraz Nawaz who appealed and the umpire had to give him out. This incident was in retaliation for Hurst's actions. The brief series was one of the most bad-tempered in history, caused in part by Pakistan's decision to play their WSC-contracted men.
In 2004, Hurst was appointed as an ICC Test match referee and made his debut in the position during a match between Bangladesh and New Zealand at Dhaka.

oh my goodness you do belle and supergirl, you are a legend
I'd like to add that although your artwork deals in childish things, or things meant for children, you are actually very adult in your depictions of various Disney characters. You're artwork is actually thoughtful and mature. I think maybe you wish that the Disney characters were not so separated in story line, and that the Disney stories had been made longer so that you could see more of the relationships between prince and princess. The context of these Disney stories really clicks with in a deep way, to the extent of wanting to spend so much time in making very beautiful and tasteful artwork about them. Keep Going!
Your artwork is soo beautiful.I specially love your "Birthday gift"series!
Would you like Bugs Bunny and Mickey to meet again

Re: Power Outlet Sizzle - Help Please
Sizzle and burn, especially when there was an electric load, could have been an almost open contact. (Corroded away, shaken loose, whatever.)
These arc, and generate heat.
(And, btw., would never trip an GFCI, because the current flowing is not flowing to ground.)
The load of a space heater and an iron should not be enough to fry even a semi-decent installation, something was wrong.
For the installation being as good as before, it should be enough to just open the box and replace whatever is burnt with same quality home depot parts.
For your entertainment:
If the burn is somewhere where current should have been flowing, it was an open contact.
If it is through something that should not be, but was connecting life wire to ground, it was a ground fault.
No difference for the repair: Replace what is burnt, and you are as good as you were before.
Ground fault protection does not primarily prevent fires; it prevents electrocutions. So while having it is a brilliant idea, but it would not necessarily have prevented your sizzle.
Also, in case you are considering installing it, it does not have to be in the power outlet box; can be in the main breaker box, too, if you have 3-strand wiring.

Anyways, a couple minutes into waking up and getting ready for work, I heard "zzz-zzzz-zzzzzzzz-zZZZZZzzz" and thought "This is a weird sound-bite for them to use-" until I realized there was a little spark at the wall outlet and everything stopped working. (process of about 2 seconds)
So. What now? Neither outlet works. I think - with zero electrical knowledge - that I could just replace the outlet for a few dollars at home depot, plug the wires back in, and be on my way. Is this correct, or should I look deeper down for the source of the problem?
I was advised by the surveyor to replace them with GFCI outlets, but the actual wall-boxes are not large enough to fit the GFCI's. Maybe because of the ease of access I can cut out this one and install a GFCI. This is the outlet I use primarily for things because it's easiest to reach.
Here are views of the outlet(burn). Front, side (access), and back (wire)
Hopefully the collective sailnet wisdom will have had experience and solutions with a problem like this. - Thanks ahead for your input

Scal speaks…
|01.28.09 at 8:19 pm ET
The Celtics are 6-0 this season when Brian Scalabrine starts. Scalabrine has his own fanclubs on Facebook that were trying to get him on the Eastern Conference All-Star team in Phoenix. Every time he touches the ball at the Garden is cause for a standing ovation and a personal chant of "Scal-uh-breen-ee"
But now, thanks to poor Patrick O'Bryant, those chants will be silenced over the next 7-10 days as the best red-head basketball player ever to hail from the University of Southern California recovers from his second concussion in a week, suffered when he took an elbow from O'Bryant during practice Tuesday.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers gave the prognosis for Scalabrine prior to Wednesday's game.
But Scalabrine was healthy enough to talk before Wednesday's game. And here's what he had to say about getting his bell rung.
Scalabrine said he's feeling it after getting his bell run at practice on Tuesday.
Scalabrine said he's not sure exactly when he'll be ready to return.
Doc Rivers updated Scal's condition before the game Wednesday.
Meanwhile, there continues to be speculation that the Celtics could wind up with as many as four All-Stars when the reserves are announced on Thursday. Garnett is already in the starting lineup, while Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo are all getting consideration for reserve status.
