Jonathan talks about his company and one of the most famous triathlons he directs; the Magic Mountain Man half iron-distance race with over 7,000 feet of climbing.


 “The M3 Long Course Tri is currently the only half Ironman distance race in Los Angeles County, and Santa Clarita/Castaic is an ideal location for such an event.  While the course is challenging, athletes can expect breathtaking views of the area in addition to pure satisfaction at the finish.  This is one race from which athletes can earn major respect.”

		<itunes:summary>In this episode of TriChatter, Ron and Dr. Sam Sunshine of OC Sports and Wellness (age group triathlete) talk about injuries, the way to treat them and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections for athletes. Especially with athletes who have ligament, tendon, joint pain or problems which seem to be nagging them, keeping them from swimming, biking, or running whatever the case maybe. It is amazing how well PRP helps people achieve that last 20%-30% of healing that just the body wasn't able to perform on its own. 








Dr. Sam Sunshine is committed to helping his patients realize their personal health goals, fitness objectives, and life balance.

		<itunes:summary>In this edition of TriChatter Ron  welcomes triathlon coach Al Gaspari. Al and Ron discuss their New Year's resolutions. They also discuss what they recommend to athletes and what they do to stick with their resolutions. 


 
A lot of us make New Year’s resolutions but few of us stick to them.  That’s why you’ll often hear triathletes talk about the great workout they “planned” to do but never quite find the time to do.

Sure, we’re not different than the rest of the population – we make, and break, resolutions just like everyone else.  The thing that we do have, that not everyone has, is a really good reason to stick to ours.


By this time you’re probably quite aware that I’m a planning nut.  I love to have things planned out.  Like my mom, I’ll frequently start packing for a trip weeks in advance.  You also know that I encourage YOU to develop your own plans to help make you a better triathlete.
For example, you should have the majority of your triathlon year already planned out.  You should already have registered for all of your “A” races and know the other races you may do.  If not, do it now, before your key races fill up.

The “thing” we have to help motivate us is our races.  While one person may have a resolution to lose a certain number of pounds and another to go to the gym a certain number of times a week, we have our races to help motivate us.

The fact that our races are looming helps keep us motivated.  In my case, I signed up for Ironman St. George.  This may be the toughest Ironman course in the entire world so I have that haunting my memory every day.  And because of that it keeps me motivated to get up at 4:00 a.m. to jump into a freezing cold swimming pool.

You see, these very specific events help keep us motivated so we are extremely lucky in that regard.

So go on and make your resolution – you’ll stick to yours,

Cheers!

		<itunes:summary>Triathlons and triathletes owe much of their success to volunteers. According to Ironman.com, there were more than 5,000 volunteers at Ironman Hawaii this year. The race lasts 17 hours but some individuals may volunteer for more than 20 hours on race day alone. It must be a great feeling to help total strangers achieve their goals. 

The sport of triathlon simply wouldn't exist without all of the volunteers that help out with the races.  They're there well before the race starts and long after it's over.  They help out with everything from registration to trash clean-up and everything in-between. 


 
 Ron and Sherry extend their gratitude for these selfless folks and talk about some of the volunteer work they've done themselves. 
 
Tune in weekly!

Cheers!

 Five Reasons You Haven't Tried A Tri: It is human nature to be scared of unfamiliar territory.

		<itunes:summary>In this edition of TriChatter Ron and Sherry discuss their recent race reports as well as "swim crack" and tapering.

It's always interesting to hear race reports from other triathletes and Ron and Sherry's insights can help you determine whether the venues they race might appeal to you.  In addition, they will provide tips and tricks that might save you some time and aggravation at your next race.


In the "swim crack" segment Ron and Sherry discuss swimming tools such as kick boards, paddles and swim buoys.  They don't agree on much but the debate is a spirited one.

Tapering is a critical element of preparing for your triathlon and Ron and Sherry will give you their views including how long you should taper prior to each distance event (sprint, Olympic, 1/2 Ironman and Ironman).



As always, it's entertaining and educational.

		<description><![CDATA[If you’ve never been there, Lake Las Vegas is really a great venue for a triathlon. The lake appears to be an offshoot of Lake Mead and is surrounded by two great hotels and a wide range of homes. Silverman will be held there on November 7th. The hotels are the Lowes and Aston (used [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does your cadence (the rate at which you complete a pedal or foot stroke) really matter? If you’ve ever watched your tri buddies on a bike ride you’ll notice that some of them are spinning really fast while others are spinning really slowly but they’re all going the same speed. Seems weird that there would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We don’t often think about running in the wind. Doesn’t really seem to be a factor because we don’t have waves to contend with like the swim and we’re not going that fast like we are on the bike. So, does it even matter? The short answer is “yes.” When you run and there isn’t [...]]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>Welcome to the first edition of Triathica's TriChatter, a show that's all about triathlon.

About a week ago three triathlon maniacs got together to make history (we hope).  My good friends Oguz Yildiz and Sherry Boston Rennard got together to shoot our first weekly show/video/audio podcast.



The purpose of our tri show is to spread the word about triathlon to get more people into the sport and to help those improve their performance that are already hooked.

Your hosts Ron Saetermoe and Sherry Rennard are both certified USA Triathlon coaches and they share their insights into the sport of triathlon in an entertaining way.

In this first show you'll get to know Ron and Sherry and some of their philosophies of triathlon, their coaching styles and their triathlon
success.  

Each week we'll bring you a new show and provide the audio podcast at www.triathica.com and iTunes the video (in segments) on YouTube.com.  

The topics will change each week but will include training and racing tips, interviews, race reports and stories from Ron, Sherry and others. We’ll include guests and will shoot on location to help demonstrate things like proper water entry and transitions.  Anyone interested in triathlon can benefit from.

Tune in weekly.

Cheers!

Ron &#38; Sherry

After you’ve dropped $10,000 a bike, $3,000 on a set of racing wheels, $2,000 on a CompuTrainer, $3,500 on a treadmill and another $1,000 on your triathlon kit, you can barely pay for 1st class tickets to Germany!

		<description><![CDATA[It was a chilly Sunday morning at Crystal Cove State Park and my dream was about to come true. That is, until I heard the dreaded words, “Run, bike, run. Attention everyone, run, bike, run.” I shouldn’t have been surprised, I had a feeling this would happen. I was competing in the Avia Pacific Coast [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I really like trail runs, but they sure can be painful. I had to go to the 3rd and final race in the Peters Canyon Trail Run Series to man the Triathica expo booth. I thought I might as well get a training run in so I signed up right before the race. After speaking [...]]]></description>

Everything did seem to go wrong, even flying to Alabama was difficult; I actually think it’s quite funny now that I think about it, but we’ll get to that later. When [...]]]></description>

Besides kicking back a few beverages and barbequing, I don’t think there is.

If you haven’t done this race, you should. For $30.00 you get a great trail race and either a burger or hot dog meal or a series T-shirt. [...]]]></description>

For whatever reason, I didn’t really train for the OC Half Marathon on May 3, 2009. I did, however, go into the race with certain, albeit, unrealistic expectations. Gee, I [...]]]></description>
