Make Way for the New Athletes

In this issue we have a feature story on Jakob Dewald - here at Hawaii Sport we have seen Jakob start out in the triathlon and trail running community from when he was just a little kid, and now he is all of a sudden a major contender when it comes to the local triathlons.

It is great to see that the new generation picks up the sport of triath-lon and excels at it. If Jakob continues with his training and then we know he will see a bright future in triathlon and we look forward to see the results over the next couple of years.

Enjoy this issue where we welcome new writers Susie Stephen and Mariane Uehara

Christian Friis

P.S. Our Lanikai Triathlon story in the previous issue was written by Hina Torres De Sa.

Ushering us in with the open ohana warmth the Dewald family is known for, Jakob’s room is like an average teenage boy’s room…except that it looks suspiciously tidy. Jakob grins nervously as if the gig is up. Yeah, I cleaned up a bit, he admitted sheepishly.

In this issue, Hawaii Sport Magazine was gracious-ly welcomed into the Dewald’s Mililani home to spend a morning with rising star athlete Jakob Dewald. Many HS Sport Magazine readers are familiar with Jakob and his family—the Dewald’s are actively involved in many races on many levels: from competing to setting up events, from volun-teering at aid stations to pacing fellow athletes. This family is testimony to what aloha and ohana is all about—the love, dedication and support for those around them. During a time when most teenagers avoid their parents like the plague, we felt especially lucky to witness the strong rela-tionship Jakob enjoys with his parents. We have no doubt that his parents played a crucial role in shaping Jakob’s successes both in character and competitions. Kudos to Lisa and Steve!

In organizing Jakob’s photo shoot, we were lucky to once again wrangle the talents of Oahu based photographer Cyndia Lavik in capturing shots of Jakob at home. Lavik, who is popularly known for her sports photography, delighted in being able to swap outdoor action shots for something more in-timate. “We wanted to illustrate how dedicated Ja-kob is to multiple sports,” says Cyndia. “And as a cyclist of course, I found it normal to have bikes hanging in his room.”

Check out her latest project, including some recent shots of winter surf on the North Shore at www.zoomhui.com

LIGHT. STABLE. REMARKABLE CUSHION.

THE BONDI 4. LET’S GO.

Good to Great: More of a Good ThingIncreasing your level of performance from good to great in any arena requires a base of discipline that enables you to master the tools (skills and techniques) and live the pro-cess by your own set of rules.HiLevel: In a word, you need to be deliberate. Make every move and moment important and count.

Base: Establish a foundation of gratitude for opportunities that require your complete presence, to be confident in your process/plan and give your best effort for a cause that is bigger than yourself.HiLevel: Gratitude is a precious source of energy that must be linked with the integrity to appreciate every moment, challenge and the inherent outcome.

Tools: Master the ability to use your breathing to settle down into the moment, be mindful and operate at acceptance, and focus with complete concentration on the task at hand.HiLevel: When you find tools that help you to be, do and have better results … use them. The goal is to be able to work hard, express passion, and find joy and value from your efforts.

Rules: Nurture the devotion to getting the rest you need to maintain clarity, build trust in the process to resolve issues, and find the beauty in all outcomes that don’t measure up to your standards.HiLevel: The key here is to establish and maintain a balance between work and play, rest and relaxation.

Summary: The process of moving from good to great demands the power of conviction to maintain your sense of self in order to experience the success and satisfaction that comes from learning to give your best effort under pressure. The rewards are well worth effort. HiLevel: Great is not an expectation or a destination, great is a process for learning to use the tools that allow you to adjust to boredom, pressure, fatigue, fear, anger and doubt.

BONDI 4

THIS IS NOT A SHOE. THIS IS AN INVITATION. TO GO

LONG. TO GO FOR THE MILE REPEATS. TO GO FOR THE RECOVERY DAYS. TO GO STRIDE IT

OUT. TO GO IT ALONE. TO GO WITH THE FRIENDS WHO DEMAND AS MUCH OUT OF EACH

MILE AS YOU DO. TO GO BECAUSE THERE ISN’T ANYBODY WHO CAN TAKE IT AWAY FROM

YOU WHEN YOU’RE DONE. TO GO BECAUSE YOU CAN. DESIGNED LIGHT, STABLE AND

WITH SUPERIOR CUSHIONING, THE BONDI 4 INVITES YOU TO GO FURTHER THAN YOU

DID YESTERDAY. TO GET FASTER FOR TOMORROW. LET’S GO.

Nothing is more frustrating than having your running perfor-mance derailed by an injury. Performing warm-up exercises to prevent overuse injuries is one of the most important and often overlooked ways to prepare for running.Let’s admit it, most runners will take any excuse to avoid 5-10 min-utes of warm up before a run, simply because runners just want to run! However, by doing just a few simple warm up exercises, runners can ultimately do more of what they love to do. Warming up is especially important because running with muscles that are not properly stretched can result in muscle tightness, strain and imbalance that can lead to overuse injuries. Simply by taking 5 minutes to perform a light jog and 5 specific dynamic stretching exercises, your muscles will feel ready to run, whether for just a few miles or a full marathon.

What is dynamic stretching?Dynamic stretching is quite different from static stretching. During a static stretch, the stretching position is held for 30-60 seconds. On the contrary, dynamic stretching includes motions that mimic the way your muscles and connective tissues should move during your run. Dynamic stretching allows you to gain range of motion, increase blood flow to targeted muscles, increase heart rate, and increase body temperature prior to running.

What types of dynamic stretches should runners do? For runners, dynamic stretches should focus on the major muscle groups used in running: the quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteal muscles, hip flexors, and calves. These stretches should also incor-porate movements that will warm up your abdominal and back muscles. Start with small movements and increase the range of motion with each repetition. Kneeling hip flexor stretch: Start in a lunge position with your front knee in 90 degrees and on top of toes. Begin to straighten your back leg, and feel your hip open up until a stretch is felt in the front of your thigh. Raise your hand over your head and hold for few seconds. Shift your trunk forward and move farther into the lunge as you raise your arms up, and lower your arms as you come back to starting position.

Walking Lunge: Start with your feet together and take a long stride forward. Bend the front leg to 90 degrees, keeping the front knee just behind your toes and your back knee almost touching the ground. Maintain an upright posture and keep your abdomi-nals tight.

Butt Kicks: Standing tall, walk forward with a backswing kick so that your heels are coming up to your buttocks. Your thighs should remain parallel to each other, so that your knees are at the same position when you kick your heel toward your butt.

Calf raises: Stand of edge of a stair, so that only the balls of your feet are on the stair and your heels are hanging over the edge. Rise up onto your toes then slowly lower your heels below the stair.

Toy Soldier: keeping your back and knee straight, walk forward, lifting your legs straight out in front and flexing your toes.Perform these 5 stretches following a light jog or warm up, and your body will be ready to run! Happy training everyone.

SHOE REVIEWS: MOTION STABILIZING—3 • PERFORMANCE—4 • NEUTRAL—5

The only constant in the sporting goods industry is that it’s not static. While new brands continue to appear, their chances of success have not been great. That said, the odds of success have never been better than they are now, as running specialty stores are gravitating to many of the smaller brands. The reason? Big sporting goods chains want to carry the best shoes that have been vetted by the running specialty stores, and most of the top brands have complied. So, to give customers something special, many running specialty stores have begun carrying shoes from less well-known brands. Of course, that’s what we’ve promoted in these reviews for more than 17 years: The more shoe choices you have, the better your chances of fi nding one to fi t your feet and needs. This spring review features both established stalwarts and some fresh new creations, with innovation and industry best practices thrown into the mix. Categories continue to be refi ned and address the ever-present need for shoes to meet biomechanical needs, hold up to the forces exerted when running, and optimize a shoe’s performance via shape geometries. Use this guide as a starting point and, if possible, make your fi rst stop a running specialty store to fi nd the best running shoes for you.

Keep running, friends.

2015 Spring Shoe Review — 2 — FORTIUS Media Group, LLC

2015 Spring Shoe ReviewSomewhere in my garage in Wisconsin are my fi rst pairs of running and racing shoes. My fi rst pair of real running shoes were Onitsuka Tiger Cortez. It was 1974, and I had just moved to California from Missouri. Over the summer, I ran more than 1,000 miles in that pair of training shoes, eventually reinforcing the heel with a shoe glue product that was popular back then.

My fi rst track spikes were adidas Intervals, a shoe made for racing distances, which I beat up terribly. They started out white, but were covered with mud and such after a few spring races on dirt tracks.

During the spring of 1975, I raced in Brooks track spikes which, if memory serves me well, I purchased at Starting Line from Angel Martinez, who’s now chairman at Deckers. I remember telling Angel that he sold me the fi rst pair of running shoes that I actually paid for myself: $30 that I earned from babysitting and painting jobs. I broke fi ve minutes for the mile in those shoes.

Also in my garage are my old Nike waffl e racers from the fall of 1975, which I loved because of their colors—green and yellow. I broke 17 minutes at Crystal Springs in those shoes. It was (and still is) a fi ne course, back then it was 2.9 miles. Eventually, I used those shoes in a college art project.

Every time I open a new box of running shoes, I experience the same excitement I did when I bought my fi rst pair. In our reviews, we remember that feeling and we hope you feel the same excitement. And, as always, we suggest that you go to your local running store when you purchase running shoes. They don’t want to simply sell you a pair of shoes; they want to fi t you in a pair that will make your running enjoyable.

Special thanks to Cregg Weinmann, our RN footwear reviewer; Christine Johnson, RN project coordinator and editor; Kristin Cerer, designer; Marg Sumner, proofreader; and Alex Larsen, production manager, who continue to prepare these reviews for you, year in and year out, since 1998.

The 2000 series has been a cornerstone in the ASICS running line because of its effectiveness for a wide variety of runners. Round 3 is an update that builds on the strengths of Round 2, while refi ning its components. The upper features new, lateral no-sew overlays, with stitched medial overlays that provide support while reducing the weight of the shoe. The addition of the Heel Clutch system (adopted from the Kayano) better secures the rearfoot. The midsole employs the same geometry, but the cushioning of the shoe is plusher, thanks to added Gel in the heel and adjustments to the two foam layers of the Fluid Ride system. The stability remains the same, as the medial second-density foam (Dynamic DuoMax) shores up the shoe effectively. The outersole has the usual adjustment— here the toe is fi lled medially, the shank is beefi er, and the Guidance line is straighter—all in an effort to subtly stabilize the gait while maintaining both durability and ride. The upshot is that the GT-2000 3 will please fans of the shoe. Its ride, fi t, and value earned it our award as Best Renovation.

The Ravenna has been a successful franchise for the Brooks line, evidenced by earning a few awards in its time, thanks to its solid focus on stability and cushioning. Round 6 has a fl ashier new look and the chops to back it up. The upper is open mesh, supported by welded overlays, with synthetic leather at the toe to give it shape. A ghilley lace loop at the saddle continually adjusts the midfoot, effectively securing the foot into the heel, where new linings and foam have a much smoother feel than before. The midsole is two-density BioMogo DNA, Brook’s proprietary foam, which has a smooth, cushy feel while avoiding the mushy ride that can accompany cushioning. The outersole is full-contact rubber (carbon in the rearfoot, blown rubber in the forefoot) that makes good on the stability that comes with the extra surface. The combination of fi t, ride, and great price earned the Ravenna 6 our award for Best Shoe in the Motion Stabilizing category.

Hoka has a number of shoes that focus on maxing out the cushioning—the brand’s main focus. The Constant is a new shoe to the Hoka line and slots in as a motion stabilizing shoe. The upper is closed mesh, supported by welded suede overlays, that shapes the toebox, locks down the midfoot, and reinforces the eyestays. The tongue is asymmetrical, wrapping from the medial (inside) side to support the midfoot, and a TPU clip anchors the heel. The midsole is a combination of EVA and RMAT foam. A unique stabilizing second density of the RMAT pushes into the arch, while the rocker geometry and fl are of the forefoot stabilize the foot at the late stage of the gait. The outersole is a full-contact design. A ring of rubber around the perimeter opens on the lateral side, and toughened EVA and RMAT fi ll the open areas. The Constant brings cushioning and stability to recovery days with more focus than Hoka has brought before.

Now in its fi fth iteration, the 860 remains the moderate stability shoe of the New Balance line, here with good updates from top to bottom. The closed mesh upper has welded overlays in the forefoot and a strip of synthetic leather shaping the toe. The midfoot is anchored by a lace/strap in the saddle, and stitched rearfoot overlays secure the heel. A new asymmetrical heel counter bolsters the medial side without overbuilding the entire heel. The midsole continues with the two-layer setup introduced in Version 4, but with new tooling that offers better fl exibility and contouring. The outersole is Ndurance carbon in the heel and blown rubber up front, each contributing its strength: durability and cushion. The improvements point to better performance, which is good news to New Balance fans and another choice for runners in need of more fi t options.

The Hurricane is the most vaunted shoe in Saucony’s running lineup; its update brings changes, some big and some minor. The upper is an open mesh with welded overlays. More signifi cant, however, is the new ISO fi t system: a saddle of fi ngers that wrap the midfoot and adjust as the foot moves to offer a better fi t than previous versions. The midsole has new geometry. It still features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, but with a more substantial crashpad and a taller stack height for more cushioning. The outersole is little changed, but two things have been addressed. First, the medial heel outersole has added rubber beneath the second density of the midsole for stability. Second, the medial forefoot has a release groove at the fi rst metatarsal for better fl exibility at toe-off. These changes have increased the performance feel of the shoe. With its fi t, ride, and stability, the Hurricane ISO has been upgraded from a very good shoe to an even better one.

“Fits well overall, nice fi t on the heel. Feels true to size. Pretty cushy, better for long runs than for short, fast training.”

The Tempo has been a reliable Performance shoe choice: It’s great for faster running with a touch of stability. The addition of Boost foam in this version is welcome news and constitutes a step up. The upper is completely redone: now open minimesh with traditional synthetic suede overlays and a new saddle design to anchor the midfoot. The tongue, employing a stretchy fabric, is gusseted to prevent it from slipping side to side. The midsole is full-length Boost foam topped by a layer of EVA that’s thin on the lateral side, but forms an enclosed medial forefoot (called Stableframe) to stabilize the foot. The outersole is full-length Continental® rubber that’s thin, fl exible, and durable. The sum of these parts equals another effective execution of the Boost technology and another versatile option for runners in need of solutions.

Ampla is a new brand, perhaps a catalyst for something different, as they’ve introduced a new technology. The upper is a closed micromesh, supported by welded overlays, that is close-fi tting like a racing shoe. The midsole is two layers: a softer layer near the foot and a very fi rm layer near the ground. The technological shift—and the visual difference in the shoe—resides between the layers, where a carbon fi ber shank sports a fl ange that protrudes below the sole, appearing to hang toward the ground. When running, the shank’s stiffness keeps the foot lined up while the angle of the sole acts as a proprioceptive cue to move the foot strike to the sweet spot. Internally, the carbon fi ber extends to the big toe to encourage an effi cient toe-off. The outersole is tough carbon rubber at both the heel and toe, and softer rubber where the fl ange contacts the ground. While the effect is a faster feel, the shoe is really designed for neuromuscular training. The label on its tongue says it all: “Stop not running right.”

With shoes designed to accommodate the 33 joints in the foot, the 33 series has been the most nimble of the ASICS running lines. The new 33 FA features the latest version of the Fluid Axis geometry fi rst introduced in the Gel Lyte 33. Here it features a 4mm offset from heel to toe. The upper is open mesh with soft, sueded overlays that are welded for a smooth interior. The structure is minimal. The midsole is two layers: a Solyte cradle near the ground and a new compound, AmpliFoam, that sits atop the cradle near the foot. While the AmpliFoam’s cushioning has been superior, it needs more structure, hence the cradle. The outersole is AHAR, ASICS’ abrasion-resistant rubber compound, which spreads over the shoe in pod-like segments. The rest of the sole is toughened foam. The outcome is a shoe that’s excellent for faster running, strengthening, and even as a regular training shoe to rotate into your routine.

At one time the Launch was nearly squeezed from Brooks’ line, but its attributes earned it a second chance. The Launch 2 is wholly new, its name and purpose the only constants. The upper is open mesh, supported by welded overlays, and a synthetic leather toe bumper shapes the toebox. The interior is smooth, thanks to Lycra linings in the heel and tongue areas. With its visually appealing, vibrant colors, the two-tone mesh also allows the forefoot plenty of space, while snugging the midfoot securely. The midsole is Brooks’ DNA, so it’s well-cushioned without mushiness, protective yet responsive enough for faster running. The full-contact outersole is a combination of carbon rubber in the heel and blown rubber in the forefoot. The Launch 2 is an effective training shoe that’s light enough for faster running, yet durable enough for the long haul.

New Balance has been pushing the innovation envelope with its Fresh Foam; the new Zante falls on the lighter and faster end of the spectrum. The upper is an open minimesh, with welded overlays, stitching kept to a minimum to do the job in the least restrictive way. The saddle is fashioned from a stiffer mesh, with minimal structure in the heel so it’s almost nonexistent. The lacing eyelets have been decoupled to both better secure and move with the foot, and the tongue is gusseted to keep it in place. The midsole is 6mm geometry, combining cushioning and structure into the midsole where needed. The outersole is full-contact, with low-profi le, hexagonal lugs molded for traction in the forefoot and contact in the heel. The blending of performance, cushioning, and economical price earned the Fresh Foam Zante our award for Best Shoe in the Performance category.

“Fits snug, but roomier than expected. The Boost midsole has a lively feel to it. Comfortable on my long or fast runs. Defi nitely a well-designed shoe.”

Updates the adizero Tempo 6Sizes: Men 7.5–13,14; Women 5–12Weight: 11.8 oz. (men’s 11); 9.7 oz. (women’s 8)Shape: semicurvedConstruction: Strobel slip-lastedRecommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to mild overpronation

“Snug overall, like a racer. The midfoot is stiff and holds my foot in a forward position that feels fast. Running in it seems to train the foot so it can improve my running.”

New ShoeSizes: Men 7–13,14; Women 6–11Weight: 11.6 oz. (men’s 11); 9.7 oz. (women’s 8)Shape: semicurvedConstruction: Strobel slip-lastedRecommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation

“It has a very fl exible and comfortable upper. I like the way the shoe fl exes and moves with my foot. The fl exibility of the toebox makes it very comfortable, almost slipper-like.”

New Shoe Sizes: Men: 7–13,14,15; Women: 5–12Weight: 10.4 oz. (men’s size 11); 8.5 oz. (women’s size 8)Shape: semicurvedConstruction: Strobel slip-lasted, PU Strobel boardRecommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics, for faster-paced runs

“Great snug fi t from the heel to the arch, with a wide toebox, I love it! Good cushioning, but it runs plenty fast. I trained in it on all kinds of runs, and even a few races as well.”

Updates the Launch Sizes: Men 8–13,14,15; Women 6–11,12Weight: 11.0 oz. (men’s 11); 9.0 oz. (women’s 8)Shape: semicurvedConstruction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel boardRecommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation

“Fits like a racer, and is light enough to be a race shoe, but cushy enough to be a day-to-day trainer. It has been a great performer, and has a key spot in my shoe lineup.”

The Distance is Newton’s lightest training shoe—what they describe as a speed trainer. Round 4 retains the geometry established across the line with the various Point of Pressure platforms; here it’s the POP1 confi guration. The upper features different meshes in the forefoot and rearfoot, employing the same open mesh as the whole Version 3, but here only in the rearfoot. The vamp and tongue feature a new, closed mesh with less give to it, welded overlays, and a small toe bumper giving shape and a little structure to the forefoot. The midsole features the same 2mm geometry, cushioning, and performance as before. The outersole is also unchanged: rubber over the lugs and toe, the rear section just toughened foam. What results is an effective update, keeping what worked and nudging the progress forward with some upgrades.

Saucony has introduced a variety of effective performance shoes. The Breakthru is the fi rst to feature the 8mm geometry of many of its mainline training shoes. The upper is a closed mesh with both traditional and welded overlays, and tailored for a good fi t for a broad range of feet. The midsole is a blend of well-cushioned EVA and a full-length of Powergrid that adds snappiness to the ride, extending its effective range in the process. The mostly segmented outersole is lightened by the “missing” segments. The effectiveness of the shoe can be summed up this way: good durability and a smooth ride at a reasonable price.

The Zealot is the third of three shoes equipped with Saucony’s ISO technology, which is designed to provide a more secure fi t. The Zealot is for faster running, while its brethren are for cushioning and for stability. The upper is closed mesh with welded overlays, and the strap-like ISO fi ngers adapt as the foot moves. The tongue is gusseted to allow the upper to conform to the foot without the tongue slipping from side to side, contributing to the excellent fi t. The midsole is fairly fi rm, leaning toward the responsive end of the cushioning spectrum, rather than cushy, although it’s fl exible enough to avoid a stiff feel. The outersole is segmented, which contributes to the shoe’s fl exibilty. The traction is good, as is the sole’s durability. Its blend of clever design, responsive cushioning, and adaptable fi t earned the Zealot our Best New Shoe award.

Skechers has overcome some barriers with its serious approach to performance, and it’s been enhanced by the successes of its signature athletes. The GoRun 4 makes a quantum leap without abandoning its genetic roots, always a dilemma when updating a shoe. The upper is a step forward, with closed mesh, sublimated graphics, and welded overlays that contribute to an improved fi t and updated look. The midsole features the same 4mm geometry, with a new midsole shaping that offers a better ride, while the midfoot’s new second density results in a better feel. The outersole is still largely toughened foam (the small round rubber buttons remain in the heel and forefoot), and the midfoot features larger rubber pods that have improved durability. These changes have upped the game of the GoRun, signifi cantly improving what was an already good shoe.

The Supernova Glide 6 Boost proved to be a versatile, durable, and practical use of the new Boost technology. It maintains the effective chassis while turning its focus on the upper. The new upper has two aims: aesthetics (which are nice, but don’t affect performance) and fi t. The new fi t is effective, especially in the women’s shoe; the uppers in the male and female versions are different. In both, the stretch mesh fl exes well and is also breathable without feeling too breezy in cool conditions. Minor tweaks to the overlays and saddle also do their parts in enhancing the fi t. The effective midsole is unchanged: Boost foam topped with EVA to spread and stabilize the bounce. The outersole is the thin layer of tough Continental® rubber over the length of the full-contact bottom that has been so effective for grip and durability. The ride, durability, and value earned the Supernova Glide Boost 7 our Best Shoe award for Neutral shoes.

“Good, roomy toebox, and they fi t true to size. The heel counter is stiff and supportive. The lugs are noticeable until a few miles into the runs, but they do work.”

Updates the Distance III Sizes: Men 6–13,14,15; Women 5–12Weight: 8.4 oz. (men’s 11); 6.7 oz. (women’s 8)Shape: semicurvedConstruction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel boardRecommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics

“Nice, roomy forefoot with a no-nonsense heel and midfoot fi t. Not super cushioned, but they can really handle the mileage—and they don’t weigh a lot either.”

New Shoe Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15; Women 5–12Weight: 10.2 oz. (men’s 11); 8.2 oz. (women’s 8)Shape: semicurvedConstruction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel boardRecommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to mild overpronation

“The sheath-like construction is snug, and the eyelets on the lacing system are separate, allowing variable adjustment along the length of the foot, which makes for a good fi t. Very nice on road and dirt. The tread pattern suits all types of running.”

New Shoe Sizes: Men 7–13,14; Women 5–12Weight: 11.8 oz. (men’s 11); 9.7 oz. (women’s 8)Shape: semicurvedConstruction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel boardRecommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to mild overpronation

“The stretchy upper fl exes well with the foot, snugs up pretty well, and has enough support. The ride is pretty smooth and fast, worked well for my faster running. It has been a good shoe to reach for in my rotation, for a ‘kick up the pace’ run.”

Updates the GoRun 3Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14; Women 6–11Weight: 10.1 oz. (men’s 11); 8.0 oz. (women’s 8)Shape: semicurvedConstruction: Strobel slip-lasted, fi nished fabric Strobel boardRecommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics for faster-paced runs

“The best thing about the fi t is you don’t even notice it—hugs your foot perfectly. The cushioning is fantastic, my best shoe.”

With any shoe, the goal is to please as many runners as possible. Consumer concerns about Round 17 have informed effective changes to Round 18. The upper construction has returned to a former technique, and the fi t is better tailored in the midfoot: snug in the arch/instep with plenty of toe room. The midsole is fi rm but fairly fl exible in the forefoot. A new polyurethane insole softens the feel a bit, but the fi rm ride is noticeable. Increased toe spring both allows the foot to roll better through the gait and gives the shoe a more responsive feel. The outersole is unchanged. X-10 rubber in the heel and bevelled pods on the lateral forefoot smooth the transition. Overall, the shoe is a few grams heavier, but the fi t, ride, and feel are more familiar to the franchise, so fans who didn’t love the 17 may recognize much in this version. Recent converts should also be pleased.

The Fresh Foam Boracay is the update to the Fresh Foam 980, a combination of a new foam formulation and application of geometries by New Balance. This round focuses on nudging each area forward to arrive at a better product overall. The upper (an open mesh in Round 1), is now a closed but breathable airmesh that’s supported by a thin framework of welded overlays. The toe is surprisingly well-supported even without a toecap, the eyestays feature self-adjusting eyelets, and the neoprene tongue and foam ankle collar provide a plush, interior feel. The Fresh Foam midsole features the same 4mm geometry. The sidewall cells have been altered to stabilize the shoe medially, while the lateral side cushions and directs the foot. This is possible, in part, because the one-piece, full-contact outersole (which is unchanged) allows the gait’s path to be chosen by the foot as the sole fl exes to accommodate. The fi t and ride have been elevated a notch, and while not for everybody, fans and future fans will fi nd a lot to like.

The Cloudster was introduced as the third model for On, a durable, high-mileage shoe with basic credentials. Round 2 keeps the chassis, while adding some zing to the rest of the shoe. The upper is closed mesh in the rearfoot, and stitching reinforces the heel counter and midfoot. The forefoot is a unique, four-way stretch fabric that adjusts with the foot without squeezing or irritation. The midsole is compression-molded EVA foam, with 7mm geometry—fairly fi rm—but it acts more as a platform for the “clouds” (the outersole lugs). The Cloud technology of the outersole provides the unique ride here; it varies with each runner’s stride, as the clouds compress and grip the teeth of the interior surfaces. The addition of the stretch upper, combined with the proven midsole/outersole setup has succeeded in providing a responsive shoe that can manage high mileage with ease.

The Triumph is Saucony’s fl agship neutral shoe, so it’s fi tting that it’s the model to debut its new ISO-fi t technology. The upper is wide open mesh that’s supported by welded overlays, but the central focus is on the ISO-fi t system, independent plastic fi ngers that replace the eyestay and fl ex with the foot to hold the midfoot fi rmly, though without discomfort. The tongue is gusseted to keep it from slipping sideways and causing irritation. The taller midsole has an additional 3mm of cushioning in the stack height without affecting heel-to-toe drop, which holds steady at 8mm. The full-contact outersole is a combination of carbon rubber in the heel and blown rubber in the forefoot. That’s similar to the previous version, but with additional release grooves to provide the foot with more freedom to fl ex at toe-off. The success of the update will be judged at the cash register, but the technical accomplishment has been, yes, a triumph.

The new Gemini builds on Under Armour’s growing collection of shoes with molded textile uppers. This one is aimed at the runner who looks for deluxe cushioning. The upper is (very) open mesh and supported by welded overlays at the sides of the vamp that secure it to the heel. A thermoplastic toe bumper shapes the toe and gives the outersole an anchor point. In the back is an external thermoplastic heel counter. The midsole is charged foam, well-cushioned with two resilient densities that combine to provide a responsive ride. The outersole is full-contact—carbon rubber heel, blown rubber in the high-wear portions—and open areas along the length are exposed, toughened foam. The form fi t is snug, so some runners may want to size up a half-size or more. The bounce, fi t, and responsiveness make the Speedform Gemini a new shoe that’s worth serious consideration.

“Fit was good: roomy in the toes, snug heel, no friction problems. The ride was very fi rm, but the cushioning was pretty good. The shoe rolls well with the foot.”

“Feels light on the foot, lighter than it actually is. The fi t is very accommodating, the stretch of the forefoot never restricts the foot, just supports it. They were great for my longest runs—really held up well.”

“A sheath-like fi t was great, even without the ISO-fi t, but the fl ex with the foot made them even better. The ride was cushy enough that they became my mileage monsters.”

Athlete ProfileJakob

Dewaldby Rae Sojot

Photos by Cyndia Lavik

At four years old, Jakob Dewald wanted to tag along with his dad Steve everywhere. Much to his dad’s chagrin, this desire even extended to his triathlon training: swimming, running, biking…young Jakob wanted in on all that fun. Each time, Steve would dissuade him: No. You’re too young. It’s too far. One day, entertained and exasperated in equal measure at Jakob’s routine pestering, Steve finally relented with one firm caveat: Fine. You can come. But if you come, you are not turning back. Jakob agreed heartily. Setting off on the simple 4 mile run, Steve primed himself for the inevitable ‘Can we stop?’ It never came. Jakob sailed through 4 miles without a single complaint; he was right where he wanted to be. It was that run, Steve remembers, his voice a mixture of quiet pride and fondness, that he realized… wow, this kid has something special.Today Jakob is no longer the scrawny wunderkid at local races, scamping underfoot with all the other ankle biters in tow with their parents. He has grown. Seventeen now, he sports a tan, lithe frame and sinewy muscles. His face has matured into a sober handsomeness. His eyes still hint at mischief—no doubt the upshot of being the youngest of three brothers.

Jakob is enjoying his senior year at Mililani High School. Although he swims and runs cross country there, most of his peers are unaware of his athletic pursuits beyond school, or even his athletic accolades for that matter: A 2012 All-American at the USAT National Championships.

Multiple XTerra World Championship Qualifier (as well as youngest qualifier). Multiple Honolulu Triathlon Podium Winner. The list stretches on.Refreshingly humble, Jakob credits his family for plant-ing the seeds for his success. Growing up, his family was always doing something together; being active was simply how the Dewald family rolled: T-ball and soccer, swim-ming, surfing, snowboarding. When family friends invited them to check out the BMX track at Wheeler Air Force Base, the Dewald boys swiftly embraced their new sport. “We were at that track nearly everyday,” Steve laughs. Jakob especially took a shine to the bike. He would later take those bike handling skills into the triathlon arena and the off road racing scene. Each year, his athletic lodestar rising higher and higher, racers could no longer view him as a mere kid. He was, in fact, becoming a major contender.

With a killer combination of talent, preternatural self-awareness and a sizable wealth of racing experience already in his wheelhouse, Jakob is looking forward to taking his athletic passions to the next level. Mainland colleges are options and—depending on his results this year— a coveted spot at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs could be on tap too. Either way, Jakob has come a long way from that initial 4 mile run he begged his dad to join in on. With the love and support of the family and friends, Jakob is now forging his own path to run. -RS

Physical training can only take you so far. I learned this at a young age when pacing dad and aunt at Ultraman. At some point, your body is done. I’ve learned to prep my mind to be able to push through pain and soreness.

When I was 12 years old, I raced the Haleiwa Triathlon. I was doing pretty well but then I got lost and ended up running an extra half mile only to reach a dead end. I basically was almost last. I was upset and cried. But I’ve learned that you do what you can…and you can’t always win. You just have to try harder and never quit.

I’ve run with the HURT (Hawaiian Ultra Run-ning Team) for a long time. It’s a real family environment with them. Trail runners and Xterra athletes are more laid back than road athletes.

I cross train on my own and typically get my workouts in before or after school depending on the season. I spend a lot of time on my bike trainer.

At bigger running events I am sometimes not taken seriously because of my age—especially when I was younger. Now, when I race on the Mainland or where people don’t know me, I get a lot of encouragement. But there are some who aren’t happy when I pass them.

I like poke bowls. Taco Bell. Chips Ahoy Cook-ies. But during my training and racing season I use Sketch Labs Nutrition.

In my junior year I ran the 3000 meter race. I somehow tore my calf muscle with two laps left to the finish. That sucked.

I try not to focus on my race until the day of the race. I tune out and listen to music until it’s time.

I can now beat my dad. The first time was at the Great Aloha Run when I was 12. I also got him at Xterra Worlds the last few years.

As I’ve gotten older, I feel like I more confi-dent in making decisions. I know I can go the distance.

Having older brothers to keep up taught me to push myself. We all raced together as a family. My parents were involved in Keiki Triathlon Series and coached our swim team. I’ve paced my dad at Ultramans and HURT runs. My family helps out at numerous triathlons, runs and swims. It’s really allowed us to spend time together and stay close.

In doing sport, you don’t necessarily learn more about the sport…you learn about your-self.

ASK THE TRAINERKC Carlberg, MPH, Owner of Try Fitness www.tryfitnesshawaii.com

Triathlon is one of the fastest growing sports in the US, with the largest increase in participation coming from women. The USA Triathlon Women’s Commission has seen an explosion in the demand for

women’s camps and clinics, which are needed to address differences in the way women approach triathlon training. Women prefer training in a very communal way and desire the companionship and safety that a group environment provides.

Try Fitness is a training organization whose Triathlon Train-ing programs for women fills this gap. Kelsi Campos has been training with Try Fitness for the past 3 years and is now their sponsored athlete. She has accomplished much in that short time.2012 Na Wahine Sprint Triathlon, 2nd Place Age Group 2013 Tinman Triathlon, 2nd Place Age Group2013 Na Wahine Sprint Triathlon, 2nd Place Age Group, 5th Place Overall2014 70.3 Ironman Hawaii, 6th Place Age Group2014 Tinman Triathlon, 1st Place Age Group 2014 Na Wahine Sprint Triathlon, Overall Winner

Try Fitness Athlete Profile:Name - Kelsi CamposAge - 28Occupation – Flight Attendant

Years training? – 3 years with Try Fitness. Try Fitness is full of fun filled coaches and teammates. Everyone is extremely supportive and very encouraging. I’m so honored and hum-bled to be able to train with such amazing ladies.

How did you get started? I became interested in triathlons when I was younger and my dad finished Tinman. It wasn’t until a few years ago I actually got the bug for triathlons and started training with Try Fitness. My competitive edge is definitely my coaches. Their support and experience help me better myself and allow me to be more competitive. Plus the ladies of Try Fitness made training seem so much fun. Who can pass up fun!

Favorite sport? My favorite sport is cycling because you can still work hard and enjoy the sites. It is fun and your bike can take you on some epic adventures.

What inspires you? - The one thing that inspires me most is the people in my life. My parents inspire me a lot. They gave up a lot for me growing up so I could participate in different activities. They still sacrifice now so I can do triath-lons!

What are you training for now? I’m training for Honu 70.3. It’s a fun, challenging and humbling race.

Lessons learned from training and being active? - There are so many things that I’ve learned while training and stay-ing active. Patience is something that I’ve learned. Where you want your fitness to be and where it actually is some-times does not match up. It takes that new found patience to remind yourself that you will get there and you need to just work at it. The end result is always well worth it. I have also learned FUN is the best way to train. No matter how you did that day as long as you had fun!

Future goals? My one big goal in the triathlon world is to complete an Ironman whatever it takes. I think the ultimate goal is to be a part of Kona World Championships. Whether you want to lose weight, run faster or climb Mount Everest, a personalized program is your best bet in achiev-ing those goals. The hard work is always worth the effort in being successful. Let me know how I can help you with your journey and email any questions you may have to “Ask the Trainer” at [email protected]. And remember “PER-SISTENT CONSISTENCY” is the key to success. Until next time, train hard, laugh often, love passionately and have fun. KC Carlberg, MPH and owner of Try Fitness Hawaii, www.tryfitnesshawaii.com

Starting the year off right!

Good Eyes Photo were on the spot at the first race of the year. The Bosetti 10K. is a tradition for many runners, organized by Mid Pacific Road Runners Club, every year January 1 - it challenges both the runner with quite daunting hills, but also just the fact that it begins seven hours after the new year has begun. Quickest on the course was Jessica Douglas and Andrew Taylor.

What is Primary Care Sports Medicine?

Are you a distance runner with nagging knee pain for the past six months? What

do you do if you are a triathlete with a new shoulder injury keeping you from comfort-ably training for the swim and bike legs of an upcoming race? Have you fallen off your bicycle during a training ride and are strug-gling to recover from a concussion? If you have suffered from a sports-related injury, there are physicians who can help; in fact, they specialize in trying to keep people fit and on the go by managing concussions and bone, muscle, and joint injuries.Primary Care Sports Medicine (PCSM) physicians are subspecialty doctors who have done a medical residency in a primary care field (Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, or Emergency Medicine) with an additional 1 -2 year fellowship training and board certification in Sports Medicine. PCSM physicians are trained in managing non-surgical sports and fitness musculoskeletal (bone, joint, ligament, tendon, mus-cle) injuries, whether new or chronic. Their goal is to keep people with active lifestyles safely and efficiently participating in their fitness and sports routines, including preventing inju-ries, diagnosing and treating injuries, and improving athletic performance. After completing their specialty training, ultimately a PCSM doctor may choose to practice only sports medicine or have a combined practice of sports medicine and their primary care medical field. PCSM physicians may see patients of all ages in their clinics and can serve as team physicians for youth, high school, college, club, professional, and Olympic athletes. On the other hand, PCSM physicians are truly suited to provide comprehensive medical care for anyone, whether a novice, recreational, or competitive athlete, who wants to be active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Since PCSM physicians are primary care physicians, they are also well trained to help manage common medical problems such as asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes, illness, and rashes in athletes and active people. Although many sports injuries and bone, muscle, or joint pain can be managed without surgery by PCSM physicians, they usually work closely with orthopedic surgeons and will refer appropriate patients for surgical management of injuries as needed. Orthopedic surgeons can also specialize with an additional 1-2 years of training in Sports Medicine; and many work as part of a multidisciplinary team with PCSM physi-cians, athletic trainers, physical and occupational therapists, sports nutritionists, psychologists, and neuropsychologists.

Sports Medicine MattersBy Jill Inouye, MD, Queen’s Center for Sports Medicine

PCSM physicians have had specialty education and are trained to manage the following: -concussions-acute and chronic bone and joint injuries-non-surgical fracture care-sprains and strains of ligaments, tendons, or muscles-injury prevention and rehabilitation-sports ultrasound-diagnostic and therapeutic injections-sports nutrition-sports sideline coverage and injuries-environmental (heat and cold) injuries-sports and fitness performance-medical clearance for return to sport participation

So don’t let sports-related injuries break your stride. Prima-ry Care Sports Medicine (PCSM) is here to help keep you fit, active and on the go.

Five awesome reasons to do yoga if you are an athlete by Susie Stephen

Yoga is becoming more and more of an accepted, and respected, tool in the ‘maintenance’ kit for athletes. The physical and mental benefits of yoga are gaining popularity amongst sports that you might not traditionally associate with tree pose or meditation but many NFL and NBA teams are encouraging their athletes to practice yoga. The old adage that ‘I’m not flexible enough for yoga’ isn’t going to cut it with a 250 lb quarter back who can Down-dog or the 7ft basketball star who holds Warrior II like he means it. So why are all these profes-sional athletes practicing yoga, and why should I? Here are five reasons why you should consider adding yoga to your week:

It will increase your flexibility. Can’t touch your toes? Don’t worry! With a consistent yoga practice you become more aware of, and develop a respect for tight muscles, such as the hamstrings - and they will lengthen over time. Just like everything in sport and life, regularity is key to gaining the most benefits from yoga.

It gives you a mental edge. Numerous athletes talk about the mental strength they gain from yoga. Calming the mind and ‘zoning in’ allows you to direct energy, and focus clearly on a task at hand. This in turn saves energy, and increases efficiency on a long run, ride, swim, game – you name it – you’ll be able to hang in there for the long run.

It will improve your core strength and stability. Yoga asanas, or the poses, just inherently build core strength. Since yoga often involves moving your body weight slowly, with control in and out of it’s normal, every day alignment (whilst still breathing!), you also gain core stability. Many yoga

poses involve balancing on one leg, which increases foot and ankle strength and requires core stability. Or balancing on the hands – which also needs a strong core but helps to build upper body strength.

It will aid recovery. What enables the best athletes to become even better? The ability to re-covery from hard workouts and tough matches, so that they can compete time and time again. The restorative aspects of yoga poses such as Legs Up The Wall or Re-clining Bound Angle Pose, give the body the chance it needs to begin the repair-ing process – building strength for it’s next bout of activity. Work hard, play hard, but then recover even harder.

It will develop injury resistance. With more flexibility, greater mind and body awareness, a strong and stable core, and a rested ‘unit’ - as mentioned above - your body will become resilient to injury. Not only will you better understand which aches and pains to give atten-tion to, over time you will develop your own ‘yoga tool kit’ that will be at hand any time you need it.There are a number of different yoga studios in Hawaii, and many places to find beginner yoga classes on each island. Check with your local YMCA, or YWCA, and also your local gym. Try a few different styles of yoga but remember to take your first class very easy and talk to the teacher before you begin. This column will be looking at the various aspects of yoga that are most beneficial to athletes over the next few months. Questions?

TRYFITNESS

This is the first in a series of articles that will describe and pro-mote the professionally directed, fee-for-service, endurance training clinics on Oahu. This series is for anyone who is concerned about their person-al health and fitness; who has tried becoming fit on their own, and failed; or who considers doing a marathon or triathlon way too daunting.My purpose is to describe up-coming clinics so you can decide whether you want to join one. The clinics are similar, but you should be aware of differences so you can choose one that’s right for your ability, experience, and goals.Exercise should be safe, fun, and enjoyable. The fitness pro-grams I describe below have these features. If you are looking for a way to exercise while you broaden your circle of friends, these programs are for you! In this and future issues I will feature programs directed by Raul Boca, Chet Blanton, KC Carlberg, and myself (Brian Clarke). Together we represent 91 years of program directing experience on the island of Oahu.

Raul Boca and Boca Hawaii. Race with Passion. Raul Boca has been training endurance athletes on Oahu since 1995. He has his own bike shop serving bikers and triathletes at 330 Cook Street in Downtown Honolulu. And he organizes excellent swimming, cycling, and running clinics.Boca is also a dedicated race direc-tor, providing triathlon and running races so thousands of recreational triathletes can enjoy their sport. He loves watching the triathlon grow and

mature as a sport. He is one of several people who have kept swimming, biking, and running alive and vibrant on Oahu.Boca works with serious, competitive athletes—business men and women in their 30s to 50s. He teaches his athletes to en-joy the process of training for and competing in races, without becoming obsessed with their performance. “The longer I coach, the more satisfying it becomes for me to share in the success of my athletes,” he says. His training pro-grams include weekly workout schedules provided by email, plus three group training sessions a week at various locations around Oahu. His training emphasis is on safety, getting in shape, and hav-ing a good time with the new friends his athletes meet in the clinics. Boca’s Clinics starting in March to April, 2015 include the following. For more information: www.bocahawaii.com.Endurance Triathlon Training. February 14 to May 30. This clinic aims at long distance triathlons, preparing primarily for the Half-Ironman 70.3 in Kona, Hawaii and/or other full

Ironman triathlons. The clinic is for experienced, ambitious triathletes who want to increase their strength and endurance in all three disciplines. Workouts include bricks (bike/run), bike trainer, and pool workouts, as well as open ocean swims and long bike rides—all under the direction of an experienced coaching staff. Tues and Thurs 5:30 p.m. and Sat 7:00 a.m. Fee $595.Spin with Raul. Ongoing, Fridays 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. at Boca Ha-waii (330 Cook St.). Indoor spinning classes on exercise bikes. Raul will take you on to a cycling journey with inspiring music and that unique Brazilian flair! This charming and knowledge-able, 20-time Ironman athlete will make your training fun! Train upstairs in BOCA Hawaii's loft like, high ceiling, fresh-air studio. Good old-fashioned, healthy fitness at its best. $12 single class; $50 five-class bundle.

Brian Clarke and BC Endurance. Safe training; smart racing; since 1979. My trainings are made up of rac-ers, runners, joggers, and walkers. About a third are newcomers and many of those are beginners, such as Ernie Stuckey (pictured in an-other article by me in this issue). Previously a hiker in my Sunday Trails program, Ernie had the usual fears and concerns about joining a “running group.” She couldn't imagine doing the Honolulu Marathon (26.2 miles!). And “wouldn’t running eventually lead to bad knee joints?”Once she started, her fears melted away and she wanted to run the marathon, instead of walk it. While she ended up walking the first part of the race, she jogged the last 6 miles, passing many who were walking at that point. And the mara-thon was fun to do with her training partner, Liuone Faagai. Most of my athletes are experienced veterans, but I specialize in coaching beginners, such as Ernie and Liuone. My satis-faction comes from teaching men and women how to get off the couch, away from the desk, and out the door so they can become something they never thought they could be—an endurance athlete. We have four running clinics, two triathlon clinics, a swim clinic, and a hiker clinic. You can train year round with like-minded athletes who enjoy their sport, whether on the roads, the trails, or in the water.

Kristin “KC” Carlberg and Try Fitness! The Women’s Fitness Experts. KC Carlberg’s life passion is helping women achieve their fitness goals. “Our niche is women,” she says. “Our clients enjoy the camaraderie of an all-women’s support group. We have people of all different walks of life and all different ath-letic levels. We focus on beginners, but we have some strong advanced athletes, too.”

It brings KC great joy to help new-triathletes gain confidence on the road and in the water: “When they start a triathlon training they are afraid of biking on busy streets and swim-ming in the ocean,” KC says. “It’s up to me and the coaches to guide them through the training so that by the time the race comes, they have the bike handling skills and confidence in the water to achieve their racing goals.”KC and her coaches are committed to creating a personalized environment for growth. Women are encouraged to focus on improving themselves so they can become stronger and faster. She offers a diverse range of general fitness clinics (triathlon, cycling, and running), a boot camp, personal one-on-one training, and all-women training groups. Additionally, KC also organizes several major all-women’s race events on Oahu (The Hawaii Women’s Health Women’s 10K, The Try Fitness Women’s 5K, and the Na Wahine Festival). An up-coming sampling of KC’s clinics and classes includes: Honu Endurance Training: A half-Ironman training that will take you to another level and propel you through the (Honu) Ironman 70.3.

Why Care About Bikeshare?Lori McCarney, CEO Bikeshare Hawaii, Photos by Rick Keene

Lori testing out a Bikeshare bike in New York.

Late last year I left retirement to help start up Bikeshare Ha-waii, an exciting project which aims to replicate and improve upon the successes of bikesharing programs operating in major cities worldwide. I’m teamed up with Ben Trevino, our President and COO, whose entrepreneurial and technology experience complements my marketing and business back-ground. Among many start-up activities, we are actively seeking $8 million in both public and private financial support to launch our initial phase of 2000 bikes at 200 stations in Honolulu in early 2016.

I’ve seen how bikeshare has been a catalyst and accelerator for major lifestyle improvement in the communities where it has been introduced, and it has become my passion to help bring it to Hawaii. Here’s what I’ve learned studying bikeshare programs worldwide:

Bikeshare gives people a hassle-free and affordable way to make short one-way trips. Check out a bike at one station, ride it to another and dock it--and you’re pau. No worries about where to park, and no obligation to return the bike to where you checked it out. Often it’s both simpler and faster than get-ting your car out of a parking garage, negotiating traffic and trying to find a parking spot at your destination.

Bikeshare is designed to complement other means of trans-portation, which means more people on bikes. Motorists, transit users and even commuting cyclists will find it’s a great option for short trips. And that builds support for bike infra-structure. Bikeshare helps improve the overall health of communities. Because it is an active form of transportation, it can start peo-ple down a path toward increased physical activity.

Reducing pollution is another obvious benefit of bikeshare. We project to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled by over 4 million miles per year once our initial phase is operational.

Less obvious are economic and societal improvements. Bike-share sparks new enterprise and brings customers to smaller establishments. It puts people at street level, giving them the opportunities to stop and interact with people and businesses around them.

We invite you to engage with us and keep up with our prog-ress. Visit www.bikesharehawaii.org to sign up for email up-dates, follow us in social media, and of course, look for more info in upcoming issues of Hawaii Sport Magazine.

Bike Valet - Kalihi Valley Instruction-al Bike Exchange (KVIBE) provided free bike valet which was available to all of our dinner guests, encour-aging guests to bike instead of drive to the dinner. We had at least 100 people arrive on bike!

HBL History Makers - These folks were part of making HBL history, they had been with the Hawaii Bicycling League for more years than we could count. For example, the woman on third to the right, Faye Saiki, was one of the original founders of HBL. The woman in the middle, Katy Borne, started BikeEd in 1989, a program that has taught over 90,000 4th graders how to ride, and is still going strong today.

HBL Board of Directors - Adding to our great HBL Board of Directors, we had few new pro-spective members up for nomination.

HBL's first silent auction was held at the 40th Annual Dinner with more than 70 items to bid on, from practically new bicy-cles, to massage coupons, cycling gear and unicycles.

PRODUCT: Rudy Project SunglassesBY: Zara NguyenDESCRIPTION & COST: 3 sunglasses models tested Price range: $124.99 to $299.99, Weight 1.06oz to 1.2oz

WHERE TO BUY LOCALLY: IT&B, BOCA Hawaii, Running Room

Performance sun-glasses: Proflow (top picture) and AgonRATING: 4.5

PROS: 1) The performance sunglasses provides ad-justable nose pieces and temple arms. These offer optimal fit for my hard to fit face which is often referred to as the “Asian nose” characterized with high cheekbones and a low sitting nose.2) The interchangeable lenses available for purchase separately ($64.99-$104.99) allows to change so the light transmission vision adapt to any environment when cycling (or running or walking): the sun’s bright rays, an overcast and shady day or the eve-

Hawaii Sport Report Reviewsning street lights. 3) Each lense comes with a super durable ImpactX lens technology that Rudy Project guarantees for life protection replacement from wind, dust, and shocks due to falls. This is a great additional bonus (for no extra cost).

I found both sunglasses to be light (35 and 30 grams), well fitted for my unique face (after some time playing with the nose pieces) and fog-free (most important for me on rainy days). However, I personally found the Agon to be slightly better fitted and more of my personal style with the Tour De France bright yellow frames and lenses that were more contoured and sat better on my “Asian nose” face.

CONS: With their variety of lenses and frames to choose from, it took me sometime to differentiate the differences between each frame and lense. Even with only two pairs I was pro-vided to test, I still had a slightly difficult time comparing the two. I highly suggest trying on all of them at a retail store. Take your time and play with the nose pieces and the temple arms. Adjust them to every direction possible. Put it on, take it off, adjust it again. Give it some time before making your decision. When you do make your decision on the frame that you absolutely must take home, consider buying at least two different lenses. Buy one lense for the day and one for the evening. You might find the sun setting a bit sooner than you anticipate on one of your rides these days.

Casual sunglasses: SpinhawkRATING: 4

PROS: 1) This is a swanky pair of sunglasses. Immediately upon putting it on, I felt like I could attend a high-class hotel beach party (like the ones in Waikiki) and really fit in despite my bike shorts and bike jersey tan lines. The sunglasses contours and stays well on my face, even on my unique “Asian nose” face, this pair fits really well. 2) What separates Rudy Project casualwear sunglasses from other brands is their unique branding of bright high-lighted colors and exceptional fit, even on a casual pair of sunglasses like the model: Spinhawk.

CONS: For casual wear, the price is on the higher-end and may not fit every budget.

WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT? Yes. Rudy Sunglasses are on the higher end of the price spectrum. However, Rudy Project believes in the durability of their products so much that their sunglasses have a three (3) year guarantee from defects. Lenses have a nominal fee replacement option for damages (scratches, etc.).

The 2014 triathlon season has been nothing but eventful for Kailua-Kona professional Bree Wee. With six full-distance Iron-man races and one Ironman 70.3 under her belt this season alone, her dedication and hard work has shown through her performances in each race. Wee, who began her profes-sional career in 2008, has had her fair share of ups and downs, but ultimately has grown im-mensely as an athlete through mental capability on the run and in placement among other professional women. On Oct. 13, 2007, Wee crossed the finish line as the first age group female athlete in a time of nine hours, 47 minutes, 40 seconds, according to ironman.com. She went on to become professional in the sport the following year. Balancing a part-time teaching job and being a full-time triath-lete has been a challenge throughout her professional career. To add stress, Wee is a single- mother. With the continuous support of her family and friends, Wee has been able to train and compete in seven major races just this year alone. “I’ve seen the world,” Wee said. She has raced more this season than any previous season with races in Mexico, New Zealand, Canada, Texas, Kona, and Australia. “In a small way they are each a favorite.”

On her most recent blog post, Wee said that triathlon has given her many opportunities that she wouldn’t otherwise have.“Triathlon has opened doors, marveled me in mysterious ways, and shapes so much of who I am,” Wee said on breeweehawaii.blogspot.com. As she looked back on all six races she competed in this year, she said that each have been special to her in their own way from personal records being broken to being surrounded by loved ones. For her last race of the season, Wee traveled to Busselton, Aus-tralia to compete at Ironman Western Australia. Prior to her race, Wee said that she wanted to redeem herself from her 2012 performance at the same race. She was leading the race up until mile 13 of the run when her foot literally broke in half from a stress fracture. That year she finished in fourth place with a total time of 9:24:40, according to ironman.com. On Dec. 7 of this year, Wee crossed the finish line at that same race in a total time of 9:08:55, finishing as the sixth female pro and thirty-first overall, according to ironman.com. She was not only able to redeem herself by finishing in one piece, but also created a new personal record with her finishing time. “She had a great race in Aus[tralia],” Wee’s swim coach, Steve Borowski said. “Especially considering thatshe had an excellent race at the World Champs in Kona less than two months earlier. She seemed to recover quicker than usual and felt that she could have another great full Ironman race.”

Borowski has been coaching in Hawai’i for 20 years and is thehead coach for the Kealakehe Swim Team, Kona Aquatics, and the Masters program. “[This year I’ve had] no injuries, knock-on-wood. I definitely credit Coach Cotter for that,” Wee said of her season. James Cotter, triathlon coach and professional triathlete himself, began to coach Wee at the end of 2013. He has seen her transform from the pupil to the director of her training program. Over the course of the season, Wee began to let Cotter know which training strate-gies were working for her and

which should have less emphasis. Wee’s training style became much more structured toward her as an individual and gave her room to be more responsible with her own training. “It was at this stage the shift from learning to train and com-pete moves to training to win,” Cotter said. “Bree went from being the pupil to taking full responsibility of her training and racing.” Cotter said that as the season progressed, he saw Wee gain more confidence in herself and her abilities. Wee also gives much credit to Borowski, who besides being a swim coach to her and many others in the Kailua-Kona area, is a multiple swimming hall of fame entrant. “He’s probably the greatest mentor I’ve ever had in my life,” Wee stated. He’s helped her through most of the big things in her life: the birth of her son Kainoa, her divorce, and the good and bad time of both life and triathlon. In July, at Ironman Canada in Whistler, Wee crossed the finish line in first place to claim the second win of her career, the first being Louisville, Kentucky in 2012. Her mom and son, Kainoa, were there to congratulate her as she crossed the line. At Ironman Texas in May, Wee said it was the first time that she had finished in less than 9 hours, 15 minutes and was thrilled with her progress. In March, Ironman New Zealand gave her a chance to cross a few things off of her bucket list, including skydiving, according to her blog.And Ironman Kona has always held a special place in her heart, not only because it is the world championship of the sport, but because it is her home turf - her training and playing grounds. “[This has been] a season of closing doors but windows open-ing, one of where I'm learning to let strangers help me, depend on friends, and believe in myself just a little more. Where you really do see that everything you put in really does come back,” Wee said. As Wee recovers from her racing-filled season with a manda-tory one month break from all things triathlon, her focus is on anything but triathlon. “Once the month expires we will start mapping out the plan to get her back to the one race we would like to qualify again, which is the World Champs,” Cotter said. In the mean time, Wee will fill her time with family, friends, surfing, and enjoying the place she calls home.

How to Get in Shape for the 2015

Honolulu Marathon

By Brian Clarke

Many hopeful marathoners become discouraged with their training long before the race in

December. Some become sick or injured at the last minute. More than fifty percent in the race hit the wall in the last 7 miles. They suffer so much that they vow to never do the marathon again. Is there a way to avoid these pitfalls? YES!

During the past thirty-five years, BC Endurance has developed a year-round support program for runners, joggers, and walkers who want to do the Honolulu Marathon. Last year, Liuone Fugai and Ernie Stuckey (see photo) joined the program and finished their first marathon under our tutelage.

Before they started in the training, Liuone and Ernie were afraid of holding their group back. But they discovered that everyone in their group was as slow as they were, so they had no problem keeping up. Nobody trained alone and nobody was left behind.

The group leaders kept the pace at an easy level so every-one could socialize while they trained. The workouts were fun to do and being with friends helped to pass the time. They started with the Summer Jogger program in mid-March, doing three organized workouts a week for less than $2 per workout. By August they were ready to join the marathon training with many other committed newcomers.

You can have fun and get in shape, too! If you are not satisfied with the program or you can’t continue, I will refund your money in full.

Here’s how to start the process: Go online to www.bc EnduranceTrainings.com. Click on the signup page and send us your contact information before March 15, 2015 and we’ll reduce the cost of any training you enter in 2015 by $25.

Given your contact information, I’ll email you immediately with information about the summer joggers or any of our other excellent programs, including the Oahu Trail Training, Island Triathlon Training for Beginners, or the Fall Marathon Training. More details at

The South Shore Classic is a unique first time event that will grace the shores of Waikiki on May 16, 2015. The event will actually hold four separate races: Men's Race, Women's Race, Keiki Race, and an Elite Race. All of the races will be run at sep-arate times, so swimmers can also enjoy the other races. The race course is designed to maximize spectator potential while creating an exciting environment for swimmers of all levels. Be-low are some questions that race organizers Todd Iacovelli and John Flanagan answered about this exciting new event: Where is the event being held?Todd: The race will start and finish on the Diamond Head end of Waikiki. We will meet right in front of the big movie screen adjacent to the Kapahulu Groin.

John: The race course for the men's and women's race will be two clockwise half mile loops with a short run on the beach in between. The keiki race will include two 1/4 mile loops. Large buoys will be setup along the way and swimmers should be able to see the race course in its entirety from the beach. Most importantly, not all participants will start at one time. In both the Keiki race and the Adult race, there will be multiple start-ing waves to give every swimmer a chance to compete for the overall title of South Shore champion while still getting their individual race time.

Why did you choose this race site?Todd: It was important that the race was accessible and fun for participants. As a swimmer himself, John kept a keen eye on what would be most enjoyable for both the participants and the spectators throughout the race. This is the best possible venue for a unique race like this.

What is the elite race going to be like?John: The Elite race is going to be unlike anything currently in Hawaii. By starting a separate Elite race as the final event of the race program and having them do a loop course, we will maximize the viewing opportunity for spectators while adding an exciting strategy element for the competitors. The elite women will get a head start on the men with the top 5 cross-ing the finish line earning awards. This will be fun for both the elite swimmers and all of the participants who may have just finished their individual race. They can watch this elite race and see the best of the best challenge each other both mentally and physically!How are the age group races being run?Todd: This is one of the unique aspects of this race we are most

excited about. Our first race of the day will be the Women's One mile. In this swim, our most seasoned swimmers will start first and younger age groups will start in waves a few minutes after them. However, the first Woman across the finish line (regardless of what wave she started in) will be declared the overall South Shore champion. We could very well see a stellar master's swimmer charging up the beach for the overall win. The format is unlike anything currently around in the Hawaii open water scene.

What will the race be like for the spectators?John: The loop course provides a one-of-a-kind excitement for anyone on the beach. There is simply no open water race where you can see so much of the action. It makes the experience so exciting for both spectators and swimmers! Spectators will be able to watch the race unfold on the wall of the Kapahulu Groin or sit on the beach and enjoy seeing the competitors at the start, the halfway point, and the finish. What will it take to enter in the elite race?Todd: Good Looks. Just kidding! The Elite race is open to those serious swimmers who are up for the 2 mile challenge. If you can swim 800 meters in the pool under 10:30, you will be a perfect addition to this year's Elite race. How does someone register for the race?John: Log on to Southshoreclassic.com and you will find all of the information you need about the race and how to enter.

South Shore Classic Hawaii’s Most Unique Swim Race comes to the South Shore

I love açai! I could eat an açai bowl everyday! It is my favorite pre and post workout food. It is also one of my favorite snacks to eat while I hang out with my friends. My love for açai is an old one. I have been enjoying açai since I was a little kid back in Brasil. My favorite Sunday morning routine was to go to the park with my parents and brothers, and play all morning. We played soccer, rode bikes, and read comic books under the tree. Then we walked to the fruit stand in front of the park to drink fresh coconut water and eat an açai bowl. It was my perfect Sunday morning!

Since then açai has always being my desired choice of meal, food and snack (I know I shouldn't substitute an açai bowl for a meal, but it’s so good!). Once I moved to Hawaii in 2006, I couldn’t find açai anywhere. I always thought that if some-one had the idea of bringing this delicious Brazilian berry to Hawaii it would be a huge success. And that was it! The next year, some company started importing açai from Brasil and a few places started selling açai bowls in Hawaii. Today we can find acai everywhere! Lucky me! So I have been trying açai bowls from almost every single place in Hawaii. I have to say that the açai in Hawaii is different from the açai bowl in Brasil, because, here in Hawaii, they add local ingredients and flavors. And guess what: I loved them too!

What is açai?Is a dark purple berry founded on a type of palm tree that is native to the Amazon Rainforest in Brasil.

The benefits?Because açai berry is rich in antioxidants, amino acids and omega fatty acids it helps to slow our body’s aging process by boosting our immune and metabolic function and removing destructive free radicals from our bodies.

In sum: Açai keep us young!

Let’s go have an açai bowl!

So here is a list of my favorite açai places on Oahu:

Pupukea Grillcost: $7.95why I love it: it's super thick just like the açai bowl in Brasil, and you can eat while you look at the ocean:)where: 59-680 Kamehameha Highway, Haleiwa (look for the blue food truck) Health Barcost: $12.50 (Deluxe Hawaiian Bowl *)why I love it: someone had the genius idea of adding bee pollen and pa’i’ai (poi without water) on top of the acai! OMG is so so good!where: 3045 Monsarrat Ave #5, Honolulu

Bogartscost: $9.05why I love it: the acai is thick and with the perfect amount of sweetness.where: 3045 Monsarrat Avenue, Honolulu

Blue Hawaii Lifestylecost: $8.35 (Acai with Jasmine *)why I love it: it’s light and re-freshing, and the hint of the jasmine tea is delicious.where: Ala Moana Mall

Lanikai Juicecost: $7.99 (Acai Colada *)why I love it: it’s a tropical açai bowl, in which they add coco-nut milk and pieces of pineapple. So yummy!where: Various locations (Kahala, Kailua, Haleiwa, Kaka’ako, Waikiki)(*) They all have other delicious options of açai bowls, but those are my favorites!
