Van Vlerken, Lawn break 9 hours, Macca breaks 8 hours at
Roth
June 24, 2007- Quelle Challenge Roth
ROTH, Germany-Top duathlete Yvonne van Vlerken took a dramatic
8:51:55 win in her first long course triathlon on Sunday,
running her way to the first sub-9 hour performance here in 10
years. Van Vlerken became the first Dutch woman to win in Roth
since the legendary Dutch triathlete Thea Sybesma won here in
a then world-best time of 9:55:29 in 1991. Paula Newby Fraser
eventually lowered that record to 8:50:53 in 1994, a mark that
still stands as the world's fastest.
2006 Roth champion Joanna Lawn of New Zealand was second,
achieving her goal of a sub-9 hour finish when she broke the
tape in 8:58:25, with 2005 champ and last year's second place
finisher Belinda Granger of Australia rounding out the podium
in 9:07:56. In fourth, repeating her finish from last year was
Hungary's Erika Csomor in 9:09:32 with Roth's own Christine
Waitz, in her debut here, fifth in 9:33:39. Waitz also earned
the title of national long course champion as the best placed
German in the field.
Australia's Chris McCormack took his fourth consecutive win at
the Quelle Challenge Roth on Sunday, tickling the world's best
time set here 10 years ago with a 7:54:23 finish that put him
more than 10 minutes clear of the rest of the field.

NUTRITION
|
|
Athletics is becoming increasingly competitive. More and more stress
is being placed on how well you perform. To reach your highest potential,
all of your body systems must be perfectly tuned. Nothing is more
important to your well-being and ability to perform than good nutrition.
Eating the right foods helps you maintain desirable body weight, stay
physically fit, and establish optimum nerve-muscle reflexes. Without the
right foods, even physical conditioning and expert coaching aren't
enough to push you to your best. Good nutrition must be a key part of
your training program if you are to succeed.
There is no one "miracle food" or supplement that can
supply all of your nutritional needs. Certain foods supply mainly
proteins, other foods contain vitamins and minerals, and so on. The key
to balancing your diet is to combine different foods so that nutrient
deficiencies in some foods are made up by nutrient surpluses in others.
Eating a variety of foods is the secret.
The nutrients--the proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins,
minerals,
and water--are teammates that work together to provide good nutrition. Just as each team member carries out different tasks during a game, each
nutrient performs specific functions in your body. A lack of just one
nutrient is a disadvantage to your body, just as losing a player to the
penalty box. Your body needs all these nutrients all of the time, so the
foods you eat should supply them every day.
Just because you are not hungry does not necessarily mean that your
body has all the nutrients it needs. You can fill up on foods that
contain mostly carbohydrates and fats, but your body still has basic
needs for proteins, minerals, and vitamins. read
