The rules originated with Bill Curry, my good friend and teammate at Georgia Tech in the early ’60s. Bill went on to play 10 years in the NFL. He recently had a previously replaced shoulder re-done. The operation proved to be much more extensive and challenging than planned. The rules came out of Bill's efforts to be up for and handle this challenge.
The Rules: Show up restedRest can provide the energy to be mentally and physically ready, to bring forth the skills, attitude and belief to handle any possible chal-lenges.
Note: In the words of Vince Lombardi, "Fatigue makes cowards of us all."
Trust in the process: Trust is belief in your own ability to perform a specific task, to stay present and maintain a positive attitude, and when others are involved to believe that they can and will perform at their best.
Note: Doubt is a natural enemy of trust. Doubt is a powerful form of resistance that can lead to the creation of drama and a negative outcome.
No Complaining: This rule calls for power of appreciation: The ability to express gratitude for the opportunity to handle the challenge in front of you and to experience the satisfaction and success related to giving your best effort under pressure.
Note: Complaining is a complete waste of energy and it is disrespect-ful to the process of living life to the fullest.
HiLevel Tool Box: The rules work when they become a conditioned response to fatigue, doubt and/or the resistance that interferes with the ability to practice handling challenges.
Note: I appreciate Bill Curry for sharing the “rules” and for his ability to live his own life with integrity.
That's HiLevel!

Finally a half ironman distance event on Oahu during my triathlon racing carrier. It was a few months ago when I received a phone call from my great friend Raul Boca that he was planning a new Half Ironman on Oahu with a wicked fun idea of a one directional bike all along the coast of the North Shore! My first reaction was "Hell Yeah! I'm in!" I have always wanted to do a long distance triathlon race on the roads that I have trained on for the past 10 years of my professional racing. Over the years I have done many of my workouts out at Mokuleia in preparation for some deadly hot events in Asia where I have raced over 30X in my carrier. I am pretty sure I know more than anyone how tough running 13.1 miles in mid morning can be out at the North/West tip of Oahu! But if there is one thing I love it’s suffering and suffering while lots of other people are suffer-ing with you! Strange, I know!I love the idea of first annual tough events, its something that hasn't been done before and there are so many unknown variables, who knows what will happen out there! It makes the nervous morning even more exciting. Race morning dawned and wouldn't you know it rain was coming down!! "Why, why, why" I whimpered! My friends told me to "Harden up and get it done, don't be so soft!" Thankfully the weather slowly cleared and we were greet-ed for clear skies just before the start. While getting my race suit zipped up just before the start by my wife a wild Portuguese man-a-war landed on her foot, she did a mini cartwheel in pain. I had to give her the same speech my friend gave me about the rain "Harden up and get it done! Shake it off!" At just before 6:00am the gun went off and I blasted down the beach into the water! Here we go its go time, and as my fellow training partners know when the gun goes off I go off! It’s something that I can't explain, I love racing I have done it all my life and its something I can't live with-out. The pressure, the excitement, the joy, the accomplish-ment, the adrenaline, I never feel more alive than when I am pushing myself to my physical limit! Back to the race, I took the lead early in the race and about 3 minutes in I swam into a friendly group of man-a-war, I was pretty tired before the start but the stings on my arms and chest woke me up quick! I felt like I got electrocuted! Lectie Altman swam the first lap on my feet but with the 1/2 mile run on the beach I was able get a gap on her to start our second lap. It’s funny doing a 2 loop swim especially when you have to run for such a long distance before you start swim-ming again. When I jumped back into the water the blood going from my legs back to my arms made my heart rate skyrocket and I slowly lost my swim form. I felt like I was swimming in sand for most of the second lap. I exited the swim in just over 20 min. The time was quite fast but it was

aided by the down current swim, which I love to do!I jammed up the beach to get my bike and get out of site and out of mind of all of my competitors. One thing I am good at is establishing a lead straight away in the swim and the first miles of the bike, this is a trick that I have developed over years and years of racing, it’s painful but it works! I have to admit I was a bit worried about some of the crowded roads at the start of this ride, but to my sur-prise it was way too easy and I didn't have one issue where I thought I might. In fact I was being so cautious hitting the brakes before lights where the police had stopped any cars from being in the way. I finally started jamming once we got past Kaneohoe. From there it was smooth sailing, there was quite a strong crosswind that at times was slowing me down much more than I wanted it too. But once we hit the North Shore it was all tailwind and smooth sailing. It was fun to see all the volunteers who are friends of my mine handing out water bottles to keep us hydrated in the 57 mile bike. By the time we hit Mokuleia I slowly started to overheat and my speeds were declining. I must have eaten 10 packs of gummies during the ride, they are so good. I posted a time of 2 hr 18 min for the bike which was a bit slower than I though I would go but it was the fastest time of the day by 3 min. Now the run, the one event I feared, as I knew by far what-ever physical issues I might have would all come from this 13.1 mile run in the heat! But again let the suffering begin, remember I love it! I paced myself for the first 3 miles as I wanted to see what my lead was going to be off the bike
and how hard would I have to run to win the event. When I saw that I had 10 min on my friend and training partner I knew I could control my race and have fun with it. Like I thought the heat was tough but Raul and the Boca crew did a great job with the perfect amount of aid stations. It was fun to see so many athletes that I knew out there on my second lap, it made my last 6 miles so much more enjoy-able. I was able to finish the Inaugural Kawela Endurance Tri-athlon in 4 hr 12 min 50seconds. I love racing first annual events and I love winning them more. I am very hopeful that Kawela will become a major event over the next few years! I would also like to congratulate everyone who braved the adventure and especially my wife who also took overall victory for the females! (even with that sting on her foot)Raul Boca did such a great job with preparing for such a tough task of putting on a Long Distance Triathlon on Oahu. The event had such a family fun and original feel to it, not a cooperate monster money driven event! And this is how triathlon started and what I love about sport, its purity. The police officers who worked the event also did an amaz-ing job making it safe and fun for all of us. I also would like to thank the officers who lead me on the bike, these guys are true pros at what they do. And lastly to all the drivers who showed Aloha Spirit and let us enjoy a Saturday morn-ing on the North Shore!Cheers,Tim Marr

RIDE ALOHA
ASK THE TRAINERby KC Carlberg
This is going to be a little different editorial in that I am asking myself the question – What do I want?
I have been very fortunate in my life to have found a career that I love. For over 18 years have been helping women achieve success in making important life changes – finishing a triathlon, losing weight, changing careers , or becoming fitter and healthier. I have come to a point in my own life journey where I find myself asking – WHAT DO I WANT? What haven’t I done in my life that I want to do? What is on my bucket list? Some very daunting questions to say the least but one I think many of us contem-plate during midlife, where I find myself right now.So I was out on a bike ride the other day and was just riding, not for a race, not for anything other than the fact that I love to ride. It felt fantastic. It was a gorgeous day and I really realized how much I enjoy that feeling. It got me thinking about that question, what do I want? Riding my bike made me think about being a kid and back then life we exciting and new and anything was possible. And there in that moment, I was inspired to remember, that, truly, anything is possible, no matter how old I am. In order to answer the question of what do I want, I need to ask - what do I enjoy doing, what makes me happy, what makes my heart sing?
Years ago I had the great opportunity to study with a wonderful teacher and mentor, Dr. Sunny Masad, the creator of UnTherapy – positive psychol-ogy for enlightened living. I became a certified Well-ness Counselor and Motivational/Success Coach. One of the exercises we did was to write down everything we wanted as if we had it right now, in this moment. What would it
look like, feel like, sound like, smell like. The goal was to make what you wanted as real as if you were living it right now. This is a very powerful exer-cise. When we can bring our hearts desires to life like this, we can then sift through and narrow
down what it is we really want. Then we can begin to formulate a plan of action to help us achieve our goals. When contemplating making chang-es in our life, we are often plagued with fear. Fear of failure or fear of not being able to manifest or make happen what we want. If we can’t see how to get there, we lose faith, give up and turn to negative thinking. We cannot change what has already come to pass; we must accept what is in the moment. If you can accept what is in the moment, if you can be grateful for what you

In March of 2012, with her first triathlon finish, Winona Chen caught the triathlon bug and has never looked back. Lavaman Waikoloa 2012 marked the beginning of Chen’s athletic career.
Chen was born in Connecticut, but grew up on the Big Island and graduated from University of Hawaii at Hilo in 2013. Sports were never a big part of Chen’s life until college.
Lavaman Waikoloa, an annual local race, was her first try at the sport and she finished in 2:43:47.
Recently Chen has seen big improvements in her race performance. In May at Honolulu Triathlon she PR’d her olympic distance with a 2:22:23 finish and was the 12th overall woman. Two weeks later at Honu Ironman 70.3 Hawaii, she PR’d by 47 minutes and won the 18-24 age group. Her performance was good enough to earn her a spot at the Ironman World Championships this October, something she had her eyes set on since the finish line of her first triathlon.
Much of her racing success can be credited to her hard work and determination - never letting a bad training day get in her way.“Even when I’m not feeling it, I typically still go out and feel better towards the end [of the workout],” Chen said.
Anyone living in Kona knows how big of deal it is to race at Worlds on your home turf. Going into the race, Chen has a few goals. One, to finish - no matter the pain or time it takes to get there. Two, to not walk during the marathon. She wants to approach October’s race much the same as she did at Honu: have an open mind. Chen wasn’t sure how well she was going to be able to run due to a leg injury. She went into Honu with no ex-pectations of her performance. Most times she goes into a race with times and paces she would like to hit, but decided that was not going to help her with the uncertainty in her run, Chen explained. Being men-tally-free of expectations for her performance on race day helped Chen to victory of her age group and get her ticket to Worlds.
“You Are An Ironman...”by Mercedes DeCarli, photo by www.finisherpix.com
03/14
Chen enjoys all aspects of the sport. Living in Kona, she gets to see first hand how triathlon brings the community together. From community organized events, volunteering, and creating a healthy environ-ment for more than just the athletes, she has come to embrace the sport for for more than just personal gain.
“I feel like I love everything about it,” Chen mentioned. In January of this year, Chen began working with Coach Bruno Giovanoli. In the past seven months she’s seen big improvements. With training adjusted for the big race in October, Giovanoli has been having Chen on a large volume plan, just slow and steady to gear up for the long 140.6-miles she will endure race day. She has also picked up two sponsors already: Bike Works Beach and Sport and Ignite Naturals.With most of her training being long distance and early in the morning before work, Chen does the bulk of her training alone. Occasionally she has company
on the bike or goes on group rides, but most of her training is done with the compa-ny of music. “The sport is so mental, sometimes I feel like training on my own helps with my mental game,” Chen said. She also mentioned that scheduling is something that has been a challenge. With two jobs, personal relationships, and training for a big race, she said it’s challenging but she is managing it well. With her eyes set on October, Chen has the determination and motivation to do well on race day. But she has more than that to look for-ward to. “My mom’s coming out to watch me race. I’m excited about that,” Chen said. With family, friends, and the Kona community behind her, Chen is excited for her big day on October 11. No matter what the day brings, the finish line will be waiting to cheer Chen in and to say those famous words, “You are an Ironman!”
“Let’s do this new 5k run race at Kualoa Ranch . . . at NIGHT . . . in the craziest outfit we can find! Don’t worry; they will give you a headlight. It will be fun!”
During one summer pau hana over cocktails, a group of good friends decided to sign up for Nite Run at Kualoa Ranch - a 5k off road run event for all ages, held on a summer evening at Kualoa Ranch. I had participated in various races, all of which were held during the day under the scorching sun, but this one was different - you don’t have to wake up at some ungodly hours on a weekend morn-ing plus you will not need to worry about melting in hot weather. I was sold and so were the rest of the group.
On the race day (or evening, rather), we drove out to Kualoa Ranch with our costumes and picnic/camping gears in the trunk. When we arrived, what we saw was a big outdoor party site: upbeat music, the finish gate, check-in booths, and various food vendors. There were already a number of participants wait-ing for the race - some looked like serious runners, some are families with kids, and quite a few were in “unconventional" race outfits as if it was Halloween in August. After we picked up our race numbers from friendly volunteers, it was time to put on our craziest costume - pink tutus, pink and black striped knee high socks, glow-in-the-dark accessories, and most im-portantly, head lights provided by the thoughtful race organizers (or sponsors?).
Eventually the sun went down and the night arrived. The start line was well lit and the opening ceremony
began with a beautiful aerial silk dance performance by Andrea Torres of Smadhi Aerial Dance. John Hen-derson, one of the race organizers, made an opening remark and told us there would be “challenges” on the racecourse. Even better! With the sound of the horn, the runners set out for an adventure into the
dark wilderness with headlights shining their way. The run course went along the off-road path through some flats and hills. Since it was dark, it made things a little more challenging but still manage-able and fun. A while into the course, I saw an area that was well lit - and there was an obstacle course - we had to duck under bars and
carry a sand bag! None of us had ever encountered something like that in a run race. After that was over, we proceeding on the course. After passing some rolling hills, we came to another challenge - a rope course! This challenge was for us to walk on a rope tied to trees by holding onto another rope overhead. (Our circus tutu outfit turned out to be appropriate for the tight rope challenge though I was not nearly as gracious as a circus performer.) There were many other participants trying out the rope course, and they all were having a blast!
After clearing the rope course, we continued to run along in the dark, and to the finish where there was a big party with music, food and a bunch of runners with a big smile after the crazy fun experience the Nite Run offered. This race was not just about push-ing yourself to finish the race as fast as possible; it was also about challenge yourself to try something new and just have fun while you are at it.

Back Pain Got You Down? By Valerie Legendre, PT, DPT, CSCS, Certified Yoga Instructor
Do you ever wonder if you are the only person experiencing recurrent back pain? If so, you are not alone. Lower back pain and dysfunction is among the most common injuries and can significantly limit your ability to participate in activates that you enjoy. Once having been seen by a health care professional and cleared for exercise, yoga may be an option for you.
How Can Yoga Help to Reduce Back Pain?Many people suffer from low back pain due to poor core stabilization techniques, poor posture, and inefficient breathing. Yoga promotes healthy postures during both static and dynamic activities, all while incorporating stress reduction techniques. Yoga also focuses on proper diaphragmatic breathing patterns, which can calm down the central nervous system and change your perception to pain. When strength gains from a reg-ular yoga practice, techniques to improve posture, and proper breathing patterns are brought from your yoga mat to your everyday activities, back pain can be controlled and reduced.
Is Yoga Good for All Types of Back Pain?Back pain comes in many forms. Unfortunately, yoga is not beneficial for acute types of pain. If you experience a sudden onset of back pain, see a specialist prior to doing yoga. When done correctly yoga can be an excellent form of exercise for people with chronic low back pain or If a Pose or Stretch Causes Discomfort, Should I Continue?
No. Yoga poses can all be modified to prevent irritation of your back symptoms. No pose should induce pain and if it does, modify the pose, ease out of the pose, or take a resting pose.
Forward fold: If you have a history of a lumbar disc dysfunction, repetitive and pro-longed forward folds may re-aggravate your low back pain. Instead of moving through a forward fold, bend your knees and hold a flat back.
Wheel: This pose puts the lumbar spine into forced end range extension. If you have had an extension based injury in the past (facet injury, fracture, spondylolythesis, etc.) this pose is not for you. Instead maintain bridge pose. You will build the same strength in your core and legs without compressing your low back.
Bow: Similar to wheel, this pose requires end range lumbar extension. Modify with locust pose by contracting your abdominals and gluteal muscles, and lift your thighs and chest from the mat.
Poses to Reduce Low Back Pain:Lumbar Rotation: While laying on your side, bend your top knee and allow your knee to rest towards your mat. Next reach your top hand up and away to move deeper into the rotation. This pose should be comfortable, and if it is not, place a block under your top knee to reduce the amount of rotation. This pose will gently help restore ROM with-out causing compression or strain on your low back.
Cat/Cow: Start on your hands and knees with your wrists directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips. Inhale and allow your belly to move towards the mat and raise your chin. On your exhale, tuck you low belly in and allow your head to drop low. When moving through these two poses, be sure to maintain rhythm and fluidity. These poses help to gain ROM and control of your upper and low back.
Plank(forward and side): While pressing through your hands(or on your elbows if this causes wrist discomfort), lift onto your toes and lift your hips from the floor. Contract your low abdominals and attain a straight line from shoulders, to hips, to feet. This pose is excellent for engaging and strengthening your lumbar stabilizers.

participating in the 4th Annual "Lea Lea Charity Ena
The Big Island is a triathlon mecca but until now, the major races have been confined to the west side. This year, race director Joe Wedemann sought to change this by creating the Hilo Triathlon, bringing a high-caliber Olympic distance event to the east side and providing athletes from all the islands (and even the mainland!) with a new challenge set in different weather conditions and surrounded by new scenery. The community responded enthusiastically, with four hundred volunteers donating their time and energy to create a seamless race experience for the athletes who participated.The first annual Hilo triathlon took place at James Ke-aloha Beach Park at 7am on Sunday, July 13th. The swim course was a slightly modified out and back 1.5k in the bay, followed by an out and back 40k bike course along the Hamakua coast, finishing up with a fast, flat 10k run. True to Hilo style, it started drizzling ten minutes before the start and didn’t let up. Even with the rain, however, energy was high. Athletes were excited and ready to go, urged on at the start by music and taiko drummers.The swim was a wild one. For the majority of the time, the water was rough but clear and warm, however competitors contended with currents, waves, and chilly bursts of spring water in the first and last por-tions of the swim. For the adventurous it was a novel challenge, and for those who get nervous during the swim there were plenty of paddlers and support boats readily available. Fins were also allowed with a 5-min-ute penalty. In a stroke of genius, inflatable dancing figures (like those often seen at car lots) were placed on either side of the swim finish, making it easy to sight despite the choppy conditions.The bike course was wet but beautiful. The rain and decreased visibility posed a challenge, but aid and mobile technical support was available courtesy of Hilo Bike Hub. While it was mostly moderate uphills on the way out, testing competitors’ legs and stamina, the lush, green course was enough to distract from any fatigue and the downhill return allowed everyone’s legs a little rest before the run.The run was smooth sailing. Cool tem-peratures, very little elevation change, and plentiful aid stations made for a pleasant – and fast – course and despite the rain there were plenty of spectators to cheer participants on. Most of the course had a view of for-est or ocean. The race finished back at James Kealoha Beach Park, where competitors were greeted with a med-al and a free meal.What made the Hilo Triathlon im-pressive were the well thought out details and the overall positive vibe. Everything from the course markings, T-shirts, and aid stations to the bounty of hot food waiting for athletes at the finish was done with finesse. And, especially for a first-time race, the

community support was very noticeable. People were excited about this race.It seems that the east side of the Big Island was more than ready for an event like this, and that the Hilo Triathlon will be back and growing next year. A few changes are slated for 2015: fins will be a separate division, and will not be eligible for age group awards, and the age group categories will be in five-year increments instead of ten. The response for this race has been so good that another east side Olympic dis-tance, the Pohoiki Triathlon, has been added and will be held on November 23rd, 2014 just south of Hilo. The course promises a challenging swim, fast bike, and scenic run.To learn more or be a part of the first Pohoiki Triath-lon, visit: www.pohoikitriathlon.org.To stay updated about discounted Early Bird regis-tration for the 2015 Hilo Triathlon and get information about the course and accommodations in Hilo, go to: www.hilotriathlon.org

chasing rainbowsDESTINATION RACES: Where will your feet take you?
by Melissa Pampulov
Most people would agree that Hawaii is a highly sought after travel destination. With such abundant, natural beauty and year-long idealistic weather, it’s not a surprise that the Honolulu Marathon ranked 6th in World Running magazine’s recent list of ‘Top City Marathons.’ Only to be bested by Paris, London, Boston, Auckland, Berlin, respectively and in the same company as Amsterdam, New York City, Athens and Puerto Rico.
But what about locals who want to combine our rock-fevered wanderlust with the thrill of competition, outside our everyday routes and trails? As an avid recreational distance runner, I have my routes and my regimen set. I do a couple homework runs in my neighborhood during the week and a long run along the back end of the marathon course every Sunday morning. This routine and consistency have been great training, but I have always wanted to take on other courses and see where my feet would take me.
A few years ago, I was lucky to get into the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco - a popular race where entries are accepted through a registration lottery system. I was very excited when I received notice of my entry, but knew that there were going to be some challenges and unknowns because this was my fi rst ‘away’ race.
I immediately began studying the course and asked friends that had ran the race before, what it was like. I knew I could expect higher elevations and cooler conditions so I incorporated early morning hill workouts in my training.
I wanted to stick to my tried-and-true pre-race habits of getting enough rest, water and nutrition so I booked my travel at least three days prior to the race and did thorough research on nearby eateries. I hydrated myself to the hilt and wore my compression socks on the fl ight over.
I arrived in San Francisco with my shoes and outfi t properly worn in and carefully picked out. Thankfully, I was going to participate in my fi rst destination race with a few dear (and very fast) friends, one who had done the race before so she gave us great insider tips on what to expect.

As prepared as felt I was, I knew, like all other races, that I wouldn’t know how my body would perform on race day. I kept things simple, stuck to my usual pre-race routines and soaked in the energy at the start.
San Francisco is an amazing and fun city to explore and I was so excited that the course took us through some of the most iconic and picturesque parts of this famous ‘City by the Bay.’
I felt prepared for the hills and thrived in the cool misty air. As I came around the top cliffs overlooking South Bay, through the mist, I caught a faint rainbow in the horizon - an inspiring sight I often encountered training at home!
I will never forget that feeling of absolute wonder, empowerment, humility, exhilaration, possibility and sheer joy, I had at this very moment.
This fueled me through the rest of the course and I couldn’t help but smile the entire way. I let the thrill and endorphins guide my stride that morning and managed to fi nish with a new PR.
Needless to say, I had an incredible
experience and certainly plan on taking on even more races abroad.
After all, I want to see where my feet will take me and how many rainbows I can chase.
BEST.ADVICE.EVER
Q: What advice would
you give someone who is considering doing a destination race?
A: It’s important to know the weather conditions and race course aspects. However don’t over think or try to prepare too much for all the specifi c things about the race because the weather can change anytime, and you can not predict how your body is going to feel on race day. So the most important thing is to have an “adventurous mindset.”
Let the new and unexpected things surprise you and enjoy every single second of it :)
Do your research on the course elevation. Know the amount of hills and how steep they will be. That way you can train your muscles specifi cally for that race and prepare for the possibly steep downhill. To prevent injury to your IT band, don’t run too fast on the downhill. Also don’t forget to pack your running shoes.
Make sure the destination is interesting to you. Choose a place with new things you would like to see or experience. Try to fi nd somewhere inspiring so you feel like giving your all, so that you...
RACE WITH PASSION!

By midmorn-ing Sunday, July 27th. by three young paddlers in different disciplines. The rivalry between Australia and Hawaii con-tinued, and Hawaii paddlers won back some championship podium places from their friends on the other side of the Pacific.
The 19 year old SUP racer from Maui, Connor Baxter, surfed the strong swells to a new SUP Unlimited men’s world record time of 4 hours, 8 minutes, 8 seconds across
the Ka’iwi Channel. Baxter’s family and friends dove from his escort boat and swarmed his board, elated with his victory. Baxter beat his former best time by more than five minutes, as well as 2013 champion Travis Grant from Aus-tralia, who finished second (4:09:15). The SUP Unlimited men’s podium was rounded out by another Hawaii racer, Scott Gamble, in 4:19:57. Travis Baptiste, 17, scored an-other win for Hawaii, finishing first in the SUP Stock men’s category in 4:23:54. The first place SUP men’s 2-person team, Aaron and Riggs Napoleon, also of Hawaii, charged out of the water a few minutes later at 4:29:33.

straight year an Australian has won this category. Aussie countryman Rory Chapman came in second, and Hawaii athlete Keoni Watson rounded out the top three., it was clear the pundits were right. New records were set Hawaii athletes continued to claim wins in the team categories, with a 3-man SUP team victory by Wyatt Jones, Hunt-er Eggers and Loch Eggers (combined age only 44) in 4:59:35. Locals Michael Schweiger and Manca Notar won the 2 person mixed SUP team category and Alfred Van Gieson, Noland Keaulana and Jennifer W. Lee took home gold in the 3 person mixed SUP category. As the morning progressed the enthusiasm of the spectators at Maunalua Bay Beach Park increased, as favorite divisions closed in on the red Duke’s finishing buoys. 20 year old Jack Bark from California grabbed the win in the Paddleboard Stock men’s division in 5:12:35, chased through the bouys seconds later by Sonni Hoen-scheid of Germany, SUP Unlimited women’s winner in 5:12:38. Hoenscheid, who finished 3rd place finisher from Hawaii Jenny Kalmbach, who paddled in three minutes lat-er. Jack Bark’s finish was not only his second win at M2O but a new world record time. His achievement was fueled by the fast conditions and more importantly hot competition in his category. Mid-channel five stock paddleboarders were racing head to head together, swapping runners, be-fore Bark broke free from the pack. Before he could even leave the water his ecstatic Surftech board sponsor waded in to shower him with champagne.
The battle everyone was waiting for took place between 20-year old Australian Jordan Mercer and Hawaii champion Kanesa Duncan-Seraphin, both charging for the win in the Paddleboard Unlimited women’s category. Going into the 2014 M2O Mercer had 3 straight wins as well as the world record time of 5:22:31. Kanesa Duncan-Seraphin, who took off competition in 2013 to become a new mother, had won eight of her 13 channel crossings. After a tough race, Mercer’s finishing time of 5:33:23 was not enough to break her 2011 record time but did put her in the history books for most consecutive women’s wins. Mercer collapsed on her board at the finish, surrounded by well-wishers, sprayed by champagne, overcome by her battle and achievement. The winners circle was rounded out by the finish of promising young Californian Carter Graves, who captured the wom-en’s prone stock division in her first attempt at the M2O.
The jubilation of the racers and their families continued at the awards banquet at the Outrigger Canoe Club, home to many of the original racers at the inaugural M2O race in 1997, with celebrations continuing late into the night at Duke’s. The paddleboard ohana came together to crown their kings and queens, and also renew the bonds of friend-ship that bring them together each year from 20 countries all over the world.

Group riding is a fun, social, and in some ways safer, method of getting your miles in on the saddle. To make the experience the most enjoyable it can be, the Hawaii Bicycling League has put together a short list of **Rules of Group Riding**. **1. Be Predictable**Unless you indicate something different to those around you, maintain a constant pace and follow the road or trail that you are on. **2. Use Signals and Give Warnings**Signal verbally and with your hands to communicate with those around you if you are turning, stopping, or slowing. Also make sure to let the cyclist in front of you know if a car is approaching from the rear. **3. Announce Hazards for other Riders**Cyclists behind you may not have the same view as you, so make sure you let them know of any hazards you come across by pointing at them and describing the obstacle. I.e. “Pothole, glass, water” etc. **4. Be Careful at Intersections**At intersections, you are responsible for your own safety. Make sure it is clear of traffic for yourself be-fore proceeding across the road. **5. Ride Single File – it’s the Law in Hawaii**Riding single file is predictable to the other users of the road around you and respects the laws that are designed to keep you safe. There are very few excep-tions to this rule in Hawaii - so play it safe and pre-dictable and ride single file. **6. Most Importantly, Have Fun!**Meet new riding buddies, challenge yourself to hold a faster pace than usual, and splurge on brunch after the ride. Group cycling can be lots of fun! Practice these skills before the Honolulu Century Ride by joining one of HBL’s free group rides. Check out the rides calendar at www.hbl.org/rides-calendar.

Mango Days 5K Run/Walk, August 3, 2014Ala Moana Beach ParkBy: Zara Nguyen
Mango Days 5K Run/Walk wraps up the Tropical Triple Crown series as the last and 3rd race. The race is in memory of Patty Smith who lost her battle for Lymphoma at the age of 19. Parents, Kit and Margie Smith, par-ticipate in this race annually. The race was held at Magic Island, Ala Moana Beach Park. Runners, walkers and strollers run and/or walk around Ala Moana Beach Park and finish by the tennis courts, greeted by volunteers and a swanky finisher’s medal (new for 2014). Post race, a buffet breakfast (additional cost) and the awards ceremony for age group winners was held at Ryan’s Grill. Breakfast was a nice spread of bacon, pancakes, scram-bled eggs, potatoes, rice.
This was my fourth year participating in Mango Days 5K. It continues to be a fun race for me to participate during the summer. From my experience, each year, the race seems to get better and better. The race organizers really listen to what participants want from their race and try to implement them for future races. New to this year, finisher’s medals were given to all participants. How about giving out mangos to participants next year also?

Tifosi Podium XC SunglassesClassic frameless sports sunglasses with interchangeable lenses designed for running, cycling and triathlonCost: $80 Podium XCs are Tifosi’s bestselling classic rimless sun-glass style. They are light weight and there is no frame edge in your peripheral vision. As with their other glasses, the Podium XCs come with excellent lenses that cut glare while enhancing color and clarity. Fit is extremely good; you will forget these glasses are on your face. I tested the Crystal Blue with the Clarion Blue mirrored lenses but the Podium XCs also come in Matte Black and White/Gunmet-al. Unfortunately this review was too early to see a sample of their new lens colors: Clarion Mirror Green and Mirror Yellow, available starting in June. I expect to see a lot of both mirror green and yellow at triathlons the rest of the summer: these colors are hot!

I could not have picked a better excuse to visit Kauai for the very first time than to run the 6th Annual Kauai Marathon, Half Marathon. I was fortunate enough to go with a few members of the Marathon Clinic’s Purple Group who I run with on most Sundays.
Shortly after arriving in Kauai, we picked up our race packet at the Grand Hyatt Resort in Poipu. A high quality dri tech participant’s shirt was includ-ed in our goodie bag along with a pack of Kauai coffee and natural dietary supplements. We also met and spoke with Dean Karnazes who was the guest celebrity runner.
The Half Marathon course is a loop which begins and ends in Poipu. We arrived at the starting line at 5:30am and I was surprised to have a variety of spread such as bananas, oranges, bagels, assorted pastries, coffee, Ultima sports drink, and water. Over 1500 runners toed the starting line, and mother nature blessed us with a quick rainfall before the race started at 6 am. The race started without a hitch and I quickly settled to a pace which I thought I could maintain for the entire run. The first seven and a half miles were uphill which peaked at over 700 feet above sea level. I hunkered down and slowly but surely

made my way up. The Hula dancers near the aid stations as well as the aid station volunteers gave runners friendly cheers of aloha to keep us going and motivated. Thankfully, local spectators hung out in between aid stations to root for us as well. I was happy to see the ‘Tunnel of Trees’ at about mile 6 because I knew that we were half-way. When the downhill began after mile 7, I tried to make up some time. I latched on to the beat of taiko drummers in one of the aid stations to help me rally through the rolling hills up ahead. Mile 11 is where the full marathoners split from the half marathoners, and I gladly made my turn towards the finish line with a couple more miles ahead.
It was awesome to run along the ocean with waves crashing a few hundred meters to the finish in Kukui’ula Resort. Hearing the loud cheering crowd up ahead helped me sprint. All the finishers received a beau-tiful commemorative medallion with an added functionality of a bottle opener after we crossed the finish line. I made it in just over two hours, and I was happy with that. I quickly filled up with variety of fruits like bananas, oranges, watermelon and pine-apple to replenish electrolytes. They also had bread, peanut butter, salty potato chips and wraps. Post race entertainment includ-ed music, dancing and taiko drums. I had a very positive experience with this race. The race directors put on a well organized event with healthy nutrition option, plenty of hydration, and live entertainment. The volunteers were also top notch. Next year I wish to return to do the full marathon.
