Today I registered for the Keauhou-Kona Triathlon. That will be just a bit over 2 years from my last road triathlon and crash that took me out. Nice to be thinking triathlon again. Looking forward to all those grueling hours of training. Sadistic maybe but I love it.

Good news Ken, really glad to hear it. In four weeks I will be taking part in my first since getting wiped by a car in Sept 2000, so I wish you all the best in training and competing. Oscar
I’m a new amateur to triathlons, last season I competed in 3 sprints. My general fitness is massively improved but I’m struggling to improve times, I seem to have a natural cadence, stride, stroke that I find very difficult to speed up. I intend to do an olympic distance tri this season after a couple of sprints. Any suggestions of where I can get a good training plan? Alastair

Before you buy.
We’re moving to Chicago and need all the info any of you have on the best clubs, groups, and places to train. Thanks.
There is the Chicago Triathlon Club if you are going to live in the city (or prefer to train there)…otherwise, a new club from Mission Bay Bikes has also just formed – and it appears as though people are coming from all over to join it. Everyone from novices, to some Ironman Triathletes…you can probably call Mission Bay (in Elgin, IL) for details at 1-800-FLY BIKE Good luck, Craig
I’ve been running for many years, currently averaging around 15 miles a week. Lately on weekends when I’ve run and done other things (like going out to the driving range plus doing heavy garden chores) I come up with a slight headache the next day. I really try to drink a lot of water after and between all this activity. At least I think it’s a lot although I don’t really count the glasses. I’m trying to avoid buying stuff like Gatorade. Any other thoughts? Someone mentioned that salty things should help to retain the water instead of it just passing through the body. How about pretzels for this? Has anyone had similiar problems? Seems like years ago I heared about people taking salt pills. Thanks in advance. Les

Les, If you will look at your "heavy garden chores" and other upper body strain, you will find that the muscles which attach to the back of your skull, or the sides of the neck have been strained. You don’t feel it while you’re working. But sleep on it and you’ll find that those muscles have tightened up to protect themselves the next morning. That continual pull can easily cause the headaches you’re experiencing. Clasp your fingers together, and place them on the back of your head (as you’ve seen done by prisoners of war) so that the thumbs are pointing downward. Let the thumbs rest on the muscles on the back of the neck and to either side. If you use the leverage of the intertwined fingers to put pressure on the thumbs, you can push into those muscles and may identify what you might call tension…or downright painful. All the thumbs to slide down those muscles several times as you nod your chin from side to side a half inch each way. That’s a start to working on your thinking body. While the water angle might be, I’d go for the muscle tension in the upper shoulders area and the neck muscles. — In health and on the run, Ozzie Gontang Maintainer – rec.running FAQ Director, San Diego Marathon Clinic, est. 1975 Mindful Running: http://www.mindfulness.com

The salty drinks or pills actually will dehydrate you more as the water component of your blood will always try to dilute the more salty contents of your stomach, thus reducing the water content of your blood.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear that the original poster’s problem was hyponatrenia. It’s quite common in endurance athletes, especially those who replace water and make no attempt to replace salt. And it does cause headaches, at least for me. It you take in enough water, taking some added sodium will not cause dehydration. In point of fact, it’s very difficult to take enough sodium to cause dehydration if you’ve been sweating a lot, and you do it through food. Pretzels are a great choice. They’re very salty. You can even use salt tablets if you’re careful. I use salt tablets during triathlons, as do many others. Incidentally, none of the electrolyte replacement drinks contain anywhere near enough salt to really do the job. (They’d probably taste pretty gross if they did.)

What is your reasoning for avoiding Gatoraid? The salty drinks or pills actually will dehydrate you more as the water component of your blood will always try to dilute the more salty contents of your stomach, thus reducing the water content of your blood. This is a biological principle called osmosis. The reasoning behind salt pills is to avoid muscle cramps by increasing the extracellular sodium concentration that has been reduced due to excess sodium loss through long term sweating. A possibile reason for the headaches could be the extended time you are outside in the bright (if it is sunny) light. Maybe eye strain or squinting??? Just a thought… Philip Pinkowsky

Love it! I’m not in denial, I know the sport of Triathlon is addictive! :] Good writing. Kim
What a coincidence! Sport Nova Scotia just announced that it was considering putting triathlon on the list of banned ergogenic aids. Apparently they just became aware that practicing triathlon often results in increased aerobic fitness and strength, and decreased body fat. Unwanted side effects included lower extremity overuse injury in heavy users. David Aggett "I’m not addicted. I can quit anytime I want. I just don’t want to now." In

Hi, My name is Mick…and I…I…I’m a triathlete. ps Great "report" – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – The Food and Drug Administration announced today that it is beginning a preliminary investigation into the potentially addictive nature of the sport of triathlon. Triathlon is a sport that combines swimming, bicycling, and running events into a single race. Recently, the FDA has uncovered data that suggests many people who participate in triathlon find themselves hopelessly addicted to the sport. When questioned about the source of this data, a high-ranking official within the FDA stated that first-hand reports gleaned from the newsgroup rec.sport.triathlon indicate the sport may be so dangerously addictive that people become hooked after only one event. According to this FDA official, "We are very concerned about this sport because it appears to be both physiologically and psychologically addictive. Unfortunately, we can’t do anything about the psychological dependency people develop. However, we believe we may be able to find a way to regulate the substances that cause the physical addiction." We have learned that the FDA is most concerned about the protein endorphin, which has analgesic properties. The body produces endorphin naturally and increased levels can lead to a state of altered consciousness and euphoria known as a "runners high." The FDA is currently researching the effects of endorphin to determine the maximum acceptable concentration within the body. The FDA defines an acceptable concentration as one that "does not lead to any altered mental state." We have also learned that the FDA has opened discussions with USA Triathlon, the sanctioning body for the sport in the US. The purpose of these discussions is to develop testing procedures to ensure athletes are not pushing themselves hard enough to produce significant levels of this dangerously addictive compound. (EDITORS NOTE: Hopefully you all realize this is just a bit of creative writing from a currently bored triathlete. However, it is grounded in truth to a certain degree. I can’t get over how often I read that someone has become addicted to the sport or a distance. There doesn’t seem to be a difference between a newbie doing their first tri or someone doing their first IM. From personal experience, I got hooked twice, first on the sport, then the IM distance.

One of my all time favorite pre-race psych-up songs is "Lunatic Fringe", from the movie "Vision Quest".

Yes, the Sonja Krolik who finished seventh in the World Championships marathon last Saturday is the same who was three times the European triathlon champion. She ran the Berlin Marathon in both 1993 and 1994, the lst time fast enough to qualify for Germany’s world athletics championships team. This performance sets herself up well for selection to the 1996 Olympic team. Another triathlete, Carole Montgomery, represented Canada in the 10,000 meters. But she had an extremely poor race, finishing 14th in her heat in 34-minutes-plus. Katherine Williams
