TCSD TriNews June 2016

Most people only do things if they enjoydoing them and if they’re good at them.This is true when training too. If you enjoyrunning and you’re good at it, then you’llrun. If you enjoy biking and you’re good atit, then you’ll bike. However, if you don’tenjoy swimming and you’re not a fast swim-mer or very good swimmer you will put itoff until the very last minute. But you haveto swim if you’re training for a triathlon –

it’s part of the race.Maybe your weakness isn’t the entire sport such

as biking; maybe it’s just part of a sport such asclimbing hills. One way to help get over that hur-dle is to find a partner for that sport to help youget through it, or change the venue. Not surewhat your weakness is? Take a look at the numbersfrom your last race. What leg of the race did youcome in closer to the bottom of in your agegroup? That’s the leg you might need to put in alittle extra work.

Here are some ways to work on your weakness:

If you are aslow swimmer, you may not ever become a fastswimmer, but you can become a more efficientswimmer, which will help you on the bike por-tion. This will limit the damages to the swim-

ming portion ofthe race and not takethe poor swim to the bike.When a poor swimmer strug-

gles through the water, it may take many mileson the bike to recover from the swim. In orderto become a more efficient swimmer, swim more,get instruction and swim more. Most triathletesjust don’t swim enough. Improving your swimstroke is the best way to improve your efficien-cy. A training block of 6-8 weeks where you canswim for 4-5 days per week, incorporating drills,race pace efforts, and wetsuit swimming intoyour regimen can go a long way.

Cycling is lowimpact, but the biggest percentage of time in atriathlon is usually on the bike. If this is yourweakness, adding in more sessions could reallyboost your overall performance. Keep in mind,however, that more intense cycling time couldtire your legs, and you might notice this duringyour running workouts. So you may want to haveyour swim days in between your cycling and run-ning days to give your legs a rest. Are you amasher or are you pedaling effeciently? Considertaking a pedaling technique course to verifyand/or learn “proper” technique.

Focus on running a lot. Themore you run, the more your overall time will

Who or what inspired you to starttriathlons? Endurance sportstruly reshaped me as a personand were initially inspired by atragedy that I experienced; I didmy first triathlon without givingit much thought. There was ahalf Ironman scheduled for whereI was living on the East Coast,and my friend sent me an emailthat said, “let’s do this.” I hadhardly been on a bike and"thought" I knew how to swim.My first sprint was a challenge.Even though I had been runningmarathons for some time; it wascompletely new to me. Sincethen, I have done several fullIronman races, lots of half dis-tances, etc. It is my lifestyle andI love it.

My first triathlon: PowerSprint2010, Richmond, Virginia.

Pre and/or Post event ritual: Pre is sweet potato, banana,dates, almond butter. Post is acup of organic coffee withalmond milk and sweet potato,kale, and brown rice and hottub/massage. Lots of prayer.

Favorite Race/Tri event: Oceansideand Raleigh half distance, andChattanooga full.

Favorite segment (swim, bike orrun): Definitely the run.

PR/Best race: 5:35 at Raleigh, NC;Full: 12:06 at Chattanooga, TN.

This year’s athletic goal: I amfocusing on shorter distanceraces this year with Vineman halfon July 10th as the next race. Ihave struggled to beat myRaleigh time and would reallylike to accomplish that. I amworking to improve my run timessince that is my favorite andbest sport. I have hit the podiumon small races with the triathlona couple of times and have hit itnumerous times with runningraces–even being 1st overall. Ifeel it is time to get those run-ning legs back. And then there isthis little ultra I plan to dothrough the Grand Canyon.

Craig: Who was the most influential personin your life?

Bob: The most influential person in my life wasmy dad, the amazing Jack Babbitt. He and histhree brothers worked seven days a week at theauto parts store that my grandfather had startedback in the 1920’s. Each brother would get oneday off per week, and they would rotate takingholidays like Christmas Day, New Year’s Day andThanksgiving off. Long hours, customer serviceand hard work was what the Babbitt family rep-resented. The only day that the auto parts storewas ever closed in its long history was the dayof my grandfather’s funeral.

When I was about 16 years old, I remembermy dad bringing me into his office at our houseand walking me through the stocks and bondsthat he had been investing in for years andyears. He told me something that day I havecarried with me ever since: “Bob, I don’t carehow good of a doctor or lawyer or carpenter youare,” he said. “There are not enough hours in theday to support your family for the long haul justby working. You have to invest. You have to finda way to make money when you’re sleeping.”

When we launched Competitor Magazine backin 1987, we had a very small staff and no money,so it became imperative that we create longterm relationships with our readers, our clientsand our writers and photographers to help pro-

mote not only our magazine, but also these young sports of triathlon, running and cycling.We knew we couldn’t do it alone, that it wouldtake a village.

When Jeffrey Essakow, Rick Kozlowski and Ifounded The Challenged Athletes Foundation in1993 to help our buddy Jim MacLaren after hissecond accident, my dad’s words again cameinto play. We had the three of us plus VirginiaTinley and Tabi King working on putting thisnew charity together. We needed the communityto embrace the cause and to raise moneythrough their efforts as well as ours. For anycharity to survive, you need to be able to figureout a way to make money when you’re sleeping.

Bob Babbitt “ APPAREL & EQUIPMENT

WWW.TRICLUBSANDIEGO.ORG

I had the pleasure recently to talk triathlon with the legendary

funky dude, Bob Babbitt. Bob is a TCSD member as well as a

member of the Ironman Hall of

Fame and the USA Triathlon Hall

of Fame. It is an honor and a

thrill to share Bob’s story. We

are so lucky to have this guy in

our club!

Bob with double above the knee amputee CodyMcCasland at Austin Mini Muddy Buddy.

You went to the greatest university in theworld - the University of Illinois - whichhappens to be where I went to school.What was your career after graduation?

Bob: When I finished college at the Universityof Illinois in 1973, I moved back to the Chicagoarea and started working at a place calledCentral Baptist Children’s Home where I workedwith emotionally disturbed children. It was agreat experience, and I learneda ton about patience duringthose two years. Then I movedto San Diego in 1978 and tooka job at The Children’s Schoolin Sorrento Valley. I ran the PEprogram there for seven years -it was called Bob Time- and Ihad the opportunity to go outand play for about six hours aday and get paid at the sametime. It was the best! Duringthe summers I put on Bob’sSports Camps, and we playedracquetball, baseball, capturethe flag and swam in a localpool. I started working at theschool in 1978 and that’s when Istarted running and doing this new sport calledtriathlon. Most of the early races were at FiestaIsland, and my roommate and I raced as manyof them as we could. My roommate’s name? NedOverend. Ned went on to become one of themost decorated mountain bikers in history, butthis was way before mountain bikes had beeninvented and he was working as a mechanic at

San Diego Suzuki.

What was your experience like at the1980 Ironman?

Bob: Ned and I read about this event in SportsIllustrated called the Ironman Triathlon afterthe 1979 race. Tom Warren, who ran Tug’sTavern here in Pacific Beach, had won the raceand there had been only 15 people in the raceand only

12 finished. Nedand I tracked Tom down to learn more aboutthis Ironman thing. It’s not like you could goonline and sign up for events back then! Webought bikes at the police auction for $75each. Mine had been burned in a fire and theback end was charred. I added a fuzzy raccoonseat cover and foam grips to the handlebars.Plus I bungie corded a Radio Shack radio to the

bike so I could listen to tunes along the way. I added flat proofsolid-rubber tires since I had no idea on how to change a flat tire.I also added panniers to the back so I could carry a sleeping bagand tent with me during the Ironman. For some reason I thoughtthe Ironman was a two-day adventure, that we swam 2.4 milesand rode 56 on day one, camped out, and then rode back toWaikiki and ran the marathon. Who knew?

On race day in 1980 there were 108 of us on the start line forthe third ever Ironman and the last one on Oahu. Because of thehuge surf and because ABC was going to televise this crazy eventon Wide World of Sports, the swim was moved from the WaikikiRough Water Swim location to Ala Moana Channel. The surf was sohuge they didn’t think they could run the event on the designatedrace day, and if the event had to be postponed from Saturday toSunday, ABC had another commitment and couldn’t film the race.Ned and I were happy since the surf at Sans Souci Beach, the orig-inal site, was 8-10 feet that weekend, and we had done all of ourtraining in a 15 yard pool in Mission Valley. We would have defi-nitely died if the race hadn’t been moved. Dave Scott and theNavy SEALs who were entered that year were definitely not happythat the swim was moved from the ocean to the calm waters ofthe channel.

We had no idea how tofuel for the Ironman so Ihad my crew carryHawaiian Sweet Breadand Gatorade for me toeat and drink through-out the day. My crewtreated me to a BigMac, fries and a coke25 miles into the bikeride and to a root beersnow cone at aboutmile 80.

When I finished thebike ride, I heard thesound of a boom boxwhen I entered thetransition area. Mycrew had a bamboomatt laid out andasked if I would like a massage.Who wouldn’t? I had a 45 minute massage between the bike andthe run and felt awesome! Then I started the marathon afterweighing in. They had a rule back then that you had to stop andget weighed a few times during the bike ride and the marathon.If you lost 5% of your body weight they would pull you from therace. When I got off the bike, I weighed in and went right back toeating Hawaiian Sweet Bread and drinking Gatorade. At about milefour they weighed me again:

Right before the bike portion of the 1980 Ironman.

“Hey,” said a voice from the other end of the walkie- talkie.“Can you give me that number again? This guy gained fourpounds…you can’t GAIN weight doing this thing!”

I did.

When I was running the last part of the marathon up DiamondHead with my crew driving behind me in their Fiat convertible, Iknew that this event, that this thing called the Ironman, wasgoing to change my life. I was expecting to see big crowds at thefinish, but instead I saw a line of chalk across the road and a lightbulb hanging above me. A voice from the darkness in the parkyelled ‘Hey, you…are you in the race?’ When I answered yes, theresponse came immediately back: “You’re done!”

That was it. No flowered lei, no medal, no bands or crowds ormusic.

Just one fellow finisher doing one arm push-ups in the park.

But I knew immediately that I was changed, that finishing thisIronman event had given me a level of confidence in myself thatI had never had before. I had earned this business card that dayin Oahu that told me that I could accomplish anything I put mymind to. If and when things got tough in life, I could draw onthat experience. If I could finish the toughest day in sport, in

my mind, I could accomplish absolutelyanything.

What was your path to a career in journalism and media? Bob: After finishing the Ironman in 1980, I put together a fun

event at The Children’s School that I called the IronKids Triathlon.Pretty creative, right? I went to Tijuana, and bought IncredibleHulk plaster banks as prizes for the kids and we combined a shortrun, an obstacle course and a swim across the pool in the complexso the kids could get a feel for the sport of triathlon. I called upMike Plant at Running and Triathlon News Magazine and askedhim if he was interested in covering my new event. He said he wastoo busy and that I should write it up. I had never written any-thing before, but I put together a short article. Mike liked it andasked me to keep writing. That led to a series of articles I wrotefor Mike that somehow touched a nerve. If ‘The Running Wino’didn’t upset enough people, maybe ‘The Old Fart of the Month’could be a tad more offensive. Then came my phony advice col-umn called ‘The Reverend Campagnolo Minister of Triathlism. Forsome reason people seemed to respond to the articles.

And I realized I loved to write.

Mike ended up hiring me to be the Los Angeles Editor forRunning and Triathlon News in 1984, and Lois Schwartz, the artteacher at our school, decided to join me as our LA photographer.The two of us would drive to running, triathlon and cycling eventsevery weekend and we savored every minute of it.

met great people, covered awesome events andgot to tell inspirational stories. What could bebetter than that?

How did Competitor begin?

Bob: In April of 1987 Running and TriathlonNews closed down unexpectedly and Lois and Iwere out of a job. We went to meet with theowners of both Southwest Cycling Magazine andCalifornia Bicyclist Magazine to ask them aboutworking together on a magazine that wouldcover running, triathlon and cycling. Neithergroup was interested and told us that cyclingwas their passion, that triathlon was a fad thatwould be gone in five years and that they wouldnever put a skinny runner on the cover of theirmagazine.

When we returned home, Ron Mirolla fromThe Sports Page, a running store in PacificBeach, and Larry White from San DiegoVitamins, called me and Lois and I and askedus to meet with them and some friends. Theypresented us with a check for $17,000 andtold us to start our own magazine.

We rented out 200 square feet of space in arace director’s warehouse underneath thousandsof pounds of bike racks for $200 a month and inJune of 1987 came out with the very first edi-tion of Competitor Magazine. We didn’t pay our-selves for the first two years, and I lived onfriend’s floors to save on rent. We had no back-ground in business, but we were passionateabout our publication, our sponsors and ourreaders. Nothing else really mattered.

When did the radio show begin?

Since our sports andour athletes were not that well known at thattime, what if regular sports fans went from aradio chat with Wayne Gretzky or Magic Johnsonto one with Steve Scott, Paula Newby-Fraser or

Mark Allen? To grow Competitor, we needed to grow the aware-ness of our sports and our athletes among mainstream sports fansand mainstream sports media. That was the reason we createdCompetitor Radio. Now in its 26th year, it is definitely thelongest running show in endurance sports. Back then people hadto listen on live radio here in Southern California on Sundaynights to hear our show, but everything changed when we wereable to save the shows and put them on iTunes and on our ownwebsite so people could listen whenever and wherever they liked.The show, now known as Babbittville Radio, not only airs on TheMighty 1090 am every Sunday night between 8 and 10 pm, it alsoairs on iTunes and on http://www.babbittville.com/ so our fanscan get a workout in while listening to a conversation betweenmyself and Taylor Phinney, Dave Scott, Jan Frodeno, Daniela Ryfor Kara Goucher. Over the years the world of endurance hasexpanded to include obstacle racing, adventure racing, running,cycling, triathlon, cyclocross and mountain biking. I just added itup the other day and I’m pretty sure we’ve interviewed over 4,000people on our show.

Back in the day, you organized an underground Ride & Tierace at Penasquitos Canyon on Thanksgiving and Eastermornings. How did those events come about and what didthey lead to?

Bob: Back in the early 1980’s, I was asked to participate in anevent up in the Laguna Mountains called Ride & Tie. It was a 28mile trail event where a team of two runners took turns riding ahorse and running, leapfrogging their way through the course.Ride a few miles, tie your horse to a tree, start running. Your part-ner runs to the horse, gets on, rides by you and ties the horse toa tree. Simple, right? Unless you’ve never ridden a horse before.The race started with a shotgun and our horse Shasta suddenlychanged his name to Lightning with smoke coming out of bothnostrils by the time I tried to climb on his back four miles intothe event. Eventually I was able to mount up and hold on for dearlife as my horse jumped over rocks, trees and runners on his wayto the front. I remember thinking to myself, ‘this is a really coolconcept. We just need to lose the 2,000 pound eating and crap-ping machine that can kill me.’ At mile 20, there was a vet checkbefore the horse was allowed to run the last eight miles. By thetime I arrived at that checkpoint, I had run 16 of the first 20miles and was looking forward to walking the last eight miles sit-ting tall in the saddle. When I arrived at mile 20, I was surprisedto see Shasta being loaded into the back of one of those horseycorrals. “What’s wrong with him?” I asked. “His hooves are sore,”someone yelled back. “His hooves are sore?” I responded to noavail.

While running the last eight miles, it became very clear to me.Keep the concept… lose the horse.

So in 1982 or so we did the first everRide & Tie on

Thanksgiving morning. Two runners… one cruiserbike or mountain bike…no permits and definitelyno horses. It was an off-road event and MarkAllen, Scott Tinley, Scott Molina and all of thelegends came out to give the event a try. It was12 miles round trip, I was in a Turkey suit, we hadspam stations instead of aid stations, and I hidstuffed animals along the way. It was a safari andevery stuffed animal had a time bonus attachedto it. So you didn’t necessarily have to be fast.You had to be cunning and, since there wereabsolutely no rules, you could steal other peo-ple’s stuffed animals or take the front wheel offtheir bike and toss it deep into the woods. One ofmy favorite moments was two-time IronmanWorld Champion Scott Tinley and another partici-pant arguing over who actually should get a timecredit for the four foot tall purple Barney. Theevent was a total hoot, and everyone had a blast.The entry fee was 10 cans of food per team thatwas donated to a local charity. We had champi-onship belts made out of tin foil by my buddy BenBoyd for the winners, and before you knew it, wehad 100 teams of two showing up onThanksgiving and Easter, since I also happened toown a bunny suit.

Flash ahead to 1998 and a meeting with thePresident of Brooks Shoes to put together an adplan for Competitor Magazine. When he said hewas looking for a cool new event to partner withrather than an ad package, we pitched the idea oftaking my off-road ride & tie event with mountainbikes with the addition of some obstacles and amud pit. We called this brand new event MuddyBuddy and launched with 250 teams at CampPendleton in 1999. Over the years the MuddyBuddy Ride and Run Series grew from one SanDiego event to 18 events.

I always was a firm believer in promoting andconnecting Muddy Buddy to Competitor Magazineand, when possible, with our Challenged AthletesFoundation as well. As the Muddy Buddy Seriesgrew, we promoted it through CompetitorMagazine and our radio show and only put eventson in regions of the country where we either hada regional edition of Competitor or a publicationthat was part of our Gen A Media family of publi-cations. As the official charity of Muddy Buddy,we generated over $300,000 for CAF over theyears and showcased many of CAF’s amazing chal-lenged athletes.

One of my greatest victories was winning the

2007 Ride & Tie with John Montanile as myteammate. I still have my tin foil belt on dis-play at home. You have had quite a career.What is the lasting legacy of Bob Babbitt thatgives you the most pride?

Bob: Of everything we have been a part of overthe years, nothing has brought as much joy to mylife as CAF. Watching Sarah Reinertsen becomethe first single above knee amputee woman tofinish the Ironman Triathlon World Championshipwas special. To be able to witness the growth ofdouble above the knee amputee Rudy Garcia-Tolson from a six-year-old hoping to be able towalk and run one day to a 26-year-old CitiBanksponsored, Ironman Arizona finishing, four-timeParalympian and a two-time Paralympic GoldMedalist has been unbelievable.

People may not realize that CAF started to helpone man, Jim MacLaren. Jim was a 300 poundfootball player at Yale who was going to actingclass in New York City on his motorcycle when hewas hit by a bus and thrown 90 feet in the air. Helived, but he lost his left leg below the knee.Jimmy became the best amputee endurance ath-lete on the planet running a 3:16 marathon andgoing 10:42 at the Ironman World Championshipin Kona on a regular everyday walking leg. Thiswas before the cool OSSUR running legs evenexisted.

I met Jimmy while covering him throughCompetitor Magazine. He was fully sponsored andwas racing all around the world. In 1993 Jimmywas racing a triathlon in Mission Viejo when a vanwent through a closed intersection, hit the backof Jimmy’s bike, propelled him head-first into apole and a guy who was already an amputeebecame a quadriplegic. From covering wheelchairathletes at Competitor, I had interviewed wheel-chair bound athletes and asked them the worstpart about being paralyzed. Repeatedly they toldme how tough it was to be 25 or 30 years old andhave mom and dad come back into their lives.They had lost their sense of self and independ-ence because they needed help to do anythingand everything.

So when Jeffrey Essakow, Rick Kozlowski and Igot together to put on a triathlon for Jimmy at LaJolla Cove in the fall of 1993, the goal was toraised $25,000 to buy Jimmy a vehicle that hecould drive with his hands. We raised $49,000through the support of the triathlon community


and thought our job was done. But threeamputee women approached us after the eventto let us know that Jimmy had been their heroand that Jimmy had inspired them to get intoendurance sports. They also told us that, whensomeone is injured, their health insurance cov-ers a walking around leg or an everyday wheel-chair, but that anything to do with sports isconsidered a luxury item and not covered byinsurance.

That’s when we decided to get our 5013C des-ignation and make sure that if anyone neededa piece of equipment,travel expenses or coach-ing to stay in the game oflife through sports, CAFwould be there for them.Through the support ofthe wonderful world ofendurance sports we havenow raised north of$70,000,000 dollars andprovided north of 13,000grants to challenged ath-letes all over the world. Justa few weeks ago, out of ouramazing state-of-the-artDeni and Jeff JacobsChallenged Athletes Centerbuilding in Mira Mesa, wesent out over 2,098 grantsworth north of $3.7 milliondollars. Plus, Paratriathlon forthe first time will be in theParalympics this summer inRio. I don’t think that wouldhave happened without the great work of ouramazing CAF athletes, supporters and thetriathlon community here in San Diego.

What are your favorite benefits of member-ship in the Triathlon Club of San Diego?

Bob: I think the world’s greatest value is amembership to TCSD. I think the cost is $70 forthe year. For that you get four aquathlons,which are my favorite events of the summer. Areyou kidding me? Each Aquathlon should have anentry fee of $100! So you start with fourThursday evening races with permits, lifeguards,

full on post-event buffet and chip timing.Watching the sun go down while hanging outwith your buddies after an aquathlon is one oflife’s great pleasures. I’m serious about this. Irace upwards of 30 times a year, and the veryfirst events I put in my schedule each year arethe aquathlons. There is absolutely nothing bet-ter.

Then you need to add on the Fiesta IslandTriathlons, again with food and timing and actu-al permits and a duathlon series.

That’s not including the weeklyworkouts and our monthly club meetings wherewe have one-on-one interviews with, I don’tknow, only the greatest endurance athletes inhistory. Check out the list sometime. Mark Allen,Dave Scott, Javier Gomez, Alistair Brownlee,Taylor Phinney, Mirinda Carfrae, Rod Dixon,Chrissie Wellington, Sebastian Kienle, MebKeflezighi and Ryan Hall are just a few of theguests we have had with us over the past fewyears. To me, with the amazing value TCSDbrings to the table, I can’t believe we don’t have5,000 TCSD members.

Over the years I have seen a lot of clubs

become exclusive and not inclusive. Cyclinggroups are notorious for having first timers showup and doing nothing to make them feel wel-come. TCSD has never been like that. We havebeen the model for inclusion. I remember whenJim McCann was the president of the club. Wewere at La Jolla Shores and a first timer was try-ing on a wetsuit for the very first time. He putit on inside out and came walking out of thebathroom. Jim walked over and very quietly saidto him, “You know, I think it might go the otherway.” It would have been easy for everyone topoint and laugh and make this person feel awful.That’s not the way Jim or TCSD has ever been.We want everyone to love the world’s best sportand to understand that on race day, it’s youagainst yourself, and you against the course.Yeah, there are other people in your age group,but those are your buddies who have the samegoals you have: to enjoy the day, enjoy thesport, enjoy the catered workout and enjoy get-ting a great workout in before most people areeven awake.

If you had a magic wand that you couldwaive over the sports world, what wouldyou change?

Bob: Right now the sport of triathlon is flat interms of growth. The reasons? There are a few,but in my mind we are in this awesome era ofEndurance Entertainment where people have somany fun options from triathlon to running toSpartan and Tough Mudder to Gran Fondo andColor Run. Because there are so many options,triathlon has to do a better job of letting peopleknow how great and inclusive our sport is. Ithink we are missing the boat by USA Triathlonnot promoting the sport of triathlon at runningevents. You have sometimes 20,000 marathonersand half marathoners at an event and, in myopinion, the orthopedic reality is that one day,if they want to stay in endurance sports, theywill need to add in some cycling and swimmingand weight training. Very few people canbecome better runners after the age of 50, buttriathlon is the Fountain of Youth. Because thereis no weight bearing, you can become a betterswimmer and cyclist as you age. I know I have!

It seems like you race all the time. Howhave you been able to continue racing andwhy do you love it so much?

Bob: Last July I decided to change my eatinghabits and eliminated bread, gluten, sugar, salt,soft drinks and alcohol. Dr. David Clayton was aguest on Babbittville Radio, and I asked him fora verbal cue, something to remember when I wasabout to eat the wrong things. He told me thefollowing: If it wasn’t around a million yearsago, don’t eat it. And if it has a label on it, itwasn’t around a million years ago so don’t eat it.For some reason, that message made sense tome and, along with the help of my wife Heidi, Ieliminated bread, butter, sugar, salt, soft drinksand alcohol. I went from 184 to 161.4 in about16 weeks and went from 24% body fat to 16%.More importantly, my energy level is even allday, and I feel better than I have in years.Getting rid of two bowling balls makes cyclingand running so much easier! I have always lovedracing and, over an 11 week span recently, Iraced 12 times including Triton Man, Lava Man,Super Seal, Ironman 70.3 California, two TCSDFiesta Island races plus the Boston Marathon inmy Elvis suit, which I highly recommend!

What are your future triathlon goals?

Bob: My goal is to race as often as possible. Ilove meeting people, getting feedback on ourshows and interviews. I have always believedthat hanging out with 20, 30 and 40 year oldshelps to keep us folks in the 65 to death cate-gory young. I’ve raced 12 races in the past 11weeks, and I’m hoping to see how many week-ends I can race in 2016. Aging up to 65 is agood thing. Fun story. Some of my fellow mem-bers of the 60 to death age category were chat-ting before the Solana Beach Triathlon last sum-mer about how long we were going to keep get-ting up so damn early to hang out in a darkparking lot. The answer was unanimous: As longas we can!

Bob, thank you so much for sharing yourstory. You have done so much for the TCSD,our sport of triathlon, the ChallengedAthletes Foundation and everything elseyou have touched. Your success has notchanged you. You have always been andalways will be one funky dude!

nt What do you love about the triathlon? I've been racing triathlons since 1986, and I have always

loved the fitness it provided. But as I have progressed with

the sport, I have learned to love the competition, discipline,

self-esteem, and confidence, friends I have made, as well as

my wife Laurie Kearney, and opportunities to travel and see

the world. I have been fortunate enough to have raced a

triathlon or duathlon in Canada, Mexico, Japan, New Zealand,

Australia, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, France, Spain,

Sweden and Hungary.

What do you feel that you, as anambassador, can do to help strength-en our triathlon community? Of course, we need to continue the volunteer activi-

ties that gave us the visibility to become

ambassadors to begin with. But

we also need to personally

mentor the new members of

our club to ensure they get

off to a great start. If we do

that right, then we will

enable the next generation of

TCSD Ambassadors. In addition, we need

to take advantage of opportunities outside

of San Diego by mentoring new triath-

letes and, in general, promoting the

sport of triathlon.

CHOACH’S CORNER, continued

improve. When you up your running time, you’re more likely toincrease your overall fitness—which will carry over into theother legs of your triathlon. Plus, it’s easier to cram a high-intensity run into a day with limited training time than it iswith swimming or biking. Keep at it if you’re competitive – run-ners have a better chance at setting triathlon records thanswimmers or cyclists.

Remember it’s not a run race, or a swim race, or a bike race –

you have to do all three. You have to put them all together to getthrough the entire race. So if you’re weaker in one, but better inanother, they will all balance each other out in the end.MJ Gasik has been competing in the sport of triathlon for 10 years MJ and is aUSAT Certified Coach, ASCA Level II Certified Swim Coach and the founder andowner of Tri Right Masters Swim Team and Tri Right Coaching located in theChicago land area.
