Register Now For 9th Richard’s Annual Father’s Day Fundraiser
Registration is now open for the 9th annual Richard’s Father’s Day Walk and Jog on June 19 at Ulele restaurant in Tampa Heights.
The event benefits Moffitt Cancer Center.

Join Ulele owner Richard Gonzmart, fourth generation caretaker of the Columbia Restaurant Group, along with WWE Global
Ambassador Titus O’Neil and Ann Kelly of 105.5 FM WDUV, as well as mascots and cheerleaders from your favorite pro sports teams
at 8 a.m. on Father’s Day.

This family-friendly, non-timed event on the beautiful Tampa Riverwalk begins at and returns to Ulele restaurant in Tampa Heights.
Run or walk at your own pace and your own distance … 1 mile, 3.1 miles or a custom distance. We encourage parents to bring their
children and stroll together.

The work Moffitt does in Tampa is lifesaving and life changing. They employ nationally recognized specialists — the best in their fields
dedicated to a cure. The only finish line that matters is finding a cure for cancer, step by step.

The event so far has raised more than $750,000 for Moffitt. As always, the Gonzmart Family Foundation pays every expense, and
donates all sponsorship and registration fees.

Cost: $30 online registration in advance, $35 day of the event, and includes a Dri-Fit event shirt. The event is free for children under 12.

For more information or to register, go to https://tinyurl.com/RichardsFathersDay2022

100 percent of revenue donated to Moffitt Cancer Center

SWIM-RUN-SWIM-RUN-SWIM-RUN

For many years swim-run “bricks”, were missing from a routine training. In 1996 I organized a
run-swim event back in Caracas. 100 meters in a 50 meters pool, doing the snake technique
swim immediately followed by a 400 meters run (around the track ) each athlete needed to
do this 8 times, super demanding, but refreshing at the same time.
Many races these days—especially those that feature ocean swims—require athletes to
make long runs to transition after exiting the water. These transitions seem almost like
endurance events by themselves.
Local events like Ft De Soto, and St Anthony’s Triathlon, after each swim, athletes need to run
between ¼ up to ½ mile to Transition 1, training your body to run when it’s already
sputtering and gasping for air can help you make those runs to transition less daunting and
painful.
Being able to run better out of the water can help shave time off your T1 as well.
The new Aqua-bike events are blooming all over the country, and Swim-Runs races are also
starting to come back.
Stay tuned for our local upcoming races, including OWS, and Swim-Runs. Swim-run training
helps your body learn to quickly adapt from the horizontal to the vertical body position.
If running right out of the pool is simply not possible, there is another way to replicate the
feeling. Swim 200 meters/yards, get out of the pool and do 10 squats, 10 lunges, 5 burpees
on the deck, jump back into the water and repeat 3 to 5 more times.
If you’re looking to drop your swim to bike transition times—as well as feel a bit stronger at
the start of the bike leg—add swim-run workouts to your training to help you run stronger
out of the water. You can check our training and events schedule at:

Multi‐Sport Climate 2022
2019‐2021 have been challenging years for athletics and multi‐sport. The COVID outbreak and follow up
mandates squashed a majority of the events and also group training opportunities. Many of us not only
couldn’t race and train, but also lost motivation throughout the crisis.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS!!

It looks like 2022 is back to full on racing. Most all mandates have been lifted and the majority of the
races are back on the schedule! What does that mean for us?

First, no excuses! Time to jump back into a routine of training and racing. Group activities are back!
Races are back! How do I do that? Make a plan. Pick those races and distances you want to compete
in. I say again, make a plan. Set training schedules. Take advantage of triathlon teams that have group
sessions and workouts. Utilize masters swim programs. Masters swims are professionally coached and
organized. To be a better swimming triathlete you need to Swim Like A Swimmer! Not just junk
mileage. A masters swim program will push you as you will be paired up with like athletes the same
speeds and abilities. Nothing better than being pushed! Find open training opportunities throughout
your area. Organized runs, rides and open water swims. There are many opportunities out there that
do not charge. Just come and participate. Find a training partner. Someone to make you accountable.
Training with a buddy or group is not only more motivating but less likely to blow off. Want to get
serious? Hire a coach. There are many great certified multi‐sport, running, cycling and swimming
coaches available. Hint – Interview a few. Look for that right fit for you. Figure in your goals, budget
and location to choose the coach that is best for you! Coaches can help you do your first 5k, first
Triathlon, first Ironman or help bring you to the level of qualifying for championships. Choose wisely
and look for that perfect fit.

Second, be realistic. Rome wasn’t built or rebuilt in a day! If the pandemic has slowed or stopped your
training it will take time to bring you back up to the level of your true abilities. Be careful and do what
you can to stay injury free. A typical scenario is an athlete jumps in too quickly with too much mileage
and speed and ends up on the sidelines with injury. You have defeated your purpose. Train wisely and
take this year ads a rebuild year.

Third, choose races wisely. There are many opportunities almost every weekend to race. Choose the
races that fit you. Look at reviews. Also make them fun! Choose new races. Keep it fresh. Open your
horizons on new destinations, distance and even new disciplines. I will be going deeper into this in next
month’s article.

Lastly, HAVE FUN! We are back! Enjoy what great fitness has to offer. Exercising helps control weight,
(along with proper diet) helps with sleep and most importantly improves health.

SO, Get out there and as a big shoe company says “JUST DO IT!”

IMPROPER FOOTWEAR - THE CAUSE OF MOST RUNNING PAIN
Up to 85% of all runners each year experience pain or injury intense enough to cause them
to stop running for a period of time. Acute injuries would be the smaller percentage of this
group. These would include events such as stepping in a hole, falling off a curb, tripping on
a crack in the sidewalk, avoiding a motor vehicle, etc. – anything that is caused by an
external force or action. The largest percentage of pain or injury though is what we term
“overuse”.

Most believe that overuse pain or injury is inevitable. When you perform a repetitive
movement enough times, it should be expected. This belief has dramatically shortened
many runners’ careers by years. How wrong it is!

Our body is meant to last a lifetime…as long as it is used properly. Properly, means that as
your joints move, they stay in their aligned preferred path of movement, the way they were
designed to move. If they are subject to repetitive twisting and turning or thrown off-track,
wear begins to occur in areas of the joints that are not designed to take it. Pain is the wake-
up call to do something about it, or suffer the consequences of chronic pain, injury and even
arthritis later in life.

Fortunately, there are shoes, socks and foot supports, the combination of which, when
properly fit, can eliminate almost all “overuse” pain, from toe to lower back. Do not ignore
any pain that persists for a week or more. Even if it eventually goes away before changing
anything, (most say “I just ran through it”) your body may have created a compensation that
will eventually come back or even show up in another area.

If you have pain, don’t stay too attached to your shoes. They are probably the culprit,
unless of course they are too short or narrow. A shoe change is probably warranted if the
wear under your forefoot is either towards the inside or outside and not right down the
middle. Or, you get blisters or have any running-related pain at all. But don’t just stop with
your shoes.

Padded socks will help protect skin and fat pad tissues but are an even more important aid
for pressure relief and shoe fit. And the final essential ingredients to a long and healthy
running career are foot supports, often called orthotics. They are shaped to closely match
the contours of the bottom of the feet, helping shoes to be even more custom and
appropriately functional. Orthotics are also your first remedy for all too common plantar
fasciitis.

There are products out there that can potentially alleviate or greatly reduce your running
pain and extend your career almost as long as you would want. Do your own research and
find a good running store that understands your issues and helps solve them.

10 Daily TIPS to Live Healthy
                                       Grade yourself                   0‐100%
  I have created this list of 10 daily minimums for minimal health. Please keep in mind these are MINIMUMS. We can
 always do better to reach optimal health. I want to emphasize if we meet ALL these daily minimum requirements then
       we will be well on our way to optimal health. As you read the list, give yourself a point for each one that you
  consistently meet daily. If you earn 10 then that is 100% and you are an A student. If you only reach 7 out of 10 then
that is 70%, with a grade of C. So what kind of grade do you want to earn when it comes to your health? Do you want to
                  be an A student, an average student, or a failing student when it comes to your health?

                                              HEALTH DAYS
   1. HOUR every hour get up and move for 5 minutes.

   2. EAT raw fruits & veggies. 4 fist size fruits & 5 fist size raw veggies every day.

   3. ATTITUDE of gratitude. Take a deep breathe in through your nose and out your nose and think of one thing
      you are grateful for.

   4. LAUGH out LOUD. Don’t take things so seriously including yourself. Laugh at yourself

   5. THINK Read for 10 minutes every day or solve a puzzle, sudoku, or problem

   6. HYDRATE Drink your body weight in ounces of water a day. Drink 50% ~100% of your body weight in
      ounces daily. Do if you weight 100lbs drink 50‐100 ounces of water a day

   7. DAYLIGHT ‐ Get outside 10 minutes. Vitamin D (from the sun) is essential for one’s mood and proper
      nutrient absorption. Oxygen from trees is the cleanest source o2.

   8. 8‐ Sleep 8 hours.

   9. YAY I get to exercise for 30 minutes every day.

   10. SOCIALIZE ‐interact with a minimum of three people that you do not live with daily.

   1. Move. Every hour stand up & move for 5 minutes. No matter how active you are in the morning if you spend the rest
      of your day sitting in front of a computer then this can be devasting to healthy circulation that your body needs. Good
      circulation is key so that oxygen is delivered to all your cells, muscles, tissues, and organs. Standing up and moving is
      essential to maintain healthy circulation.

   2. Eat FOUR fist size servings of RAW fruits AND FIVE fist size servings of RAW veggies a day. Enzymes, nutrients, and
      vitamins help you rebuild cells you are damaging daily. The only source of vitamins, nutrients, and enzymes is in raw
      food. If you cook anything over 118 degrees then you are cooking the enzymes, nutrients, and vitamins out of the
      food. By eating 4 raw fruits AND 5 raw veggies you will also meet your daily minimum requirement of fiber. Fiber is
      essential to maintain a healthy body weight by helping you eliminate waste in your body. Keep in mind after the food

   flraceplace.com                                            38                                                     May-June
you eat has gone through your intestines and sits in the colon it is now toxic to your body. So, the longer your waste
       sits in your colon the more toxins are released in your blood stream and organs. Fiber helps you eliminate that waste.

   3. An attitude of gratitude is paramount to our happiness, being positive, and having sound mental health. Take time to
      take a deep breath and be grateful for at least one thing each day.

   4. Laugh out loud at least once daily! Laughing is a great stress relief. Laugh at yourself. Don’t take yourself so seriously.
      Choose happy positive lighthearted content to read, listen to, or watch on tv. Watch a comedy on TV over the news
      or a violent drama. I think we can all agree that we have only one opportunity to live our best life and that our
      happiness is paramount.

   5. Think. Your brain is a muscle and like all muscles if you do not use it, you lose it. We need our synapses to fire, in an
      effort to maintain healthy cognitive functions. Read 10 minutes a day (try to read positive enriching content and stay
      away from the news) or learn something new every day (yes this counts) or solve a problem, puzzle, crossword, or
      sudoku.

   6. Hydrate. Drinking water is key to maintain a healthy balance of electrolytes for normal organic function and
      circulation. To avoid dehydration, where your electrolytes are depleted and the consistency of your blood becomes
      viscous making it harder to pump blood through your body to all your muscles and organs, you must drink enough
      water. Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water daily. If you weigh 150 lbs then drink 75 ounces of water daily.
      If you live in a hot humid climate like we do, then drinking 75% of your body weight is better. And if you are highly
      active and live in a hot humid climate then you should drink equal to your body weight in ounces daily. So, if you
      weigh 150 lbs you should aim to drink 150 ounces of water daily.

   7. Get outside for at least 10 minutes every day. Get out in nature and breathe fresh air. Trees are the source of oxygen
      and fresh air is the best source of oxygen. Vitamin D (from the sun) is essential for one’s mood and proper nutrient
      absorption. The sun is the source of all energy so get outside and enjoy it. If you ever find yourself needing clarity or
      having a hard time in making a decision, go outside take a deep breath, and you will see the best choice will be
      clearer.

   8. Sleep 8 hours a day. Sleep is vital to maintain a healthy endocrine system, so your hormones are in check. If your
      hormones are not in check and your cortisol levels are high, then you are stressing your body and stress has a
      detrimental response on the physiology of your body. When your body is stressed your arteries, capillaries, & veins
      are constricted making it harder to transport oxygen to all your organs including your brain keeping you from thinking
      clearly. Ideally, it’s best to sleep 8 hours at night so if you have to nap to add up to 8 solid hours per day then that is
      ok.

   9. Yay I get to Exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes daily. Exercise is essential for countless reasons. Being sedentary
      is dangerous. We live very comfortable lives and none of us are working to live. None of us are growing our own food,
      hunting, or gathering our own food or running from prey. We must be active every day to promote healthy
      circulation. Elevating your heart rate to 75% of your maximum effort helps pump blood which carries oxygen to all
      your vital organs for healthy organic functions. For exercise to count, you should be working at an intensity of 75% of
      your perceived maximum exertion. You should be working so you are sweating because the main benefit of sweating
      is that you rid your body of toxins. So, if you can go run errands after you exercise without taking a shower and you
      are not embarrassed at how sweaty you are then that does not count as exercise.

   10. Socialize. As human beings we have a strong need to connect with others and have a sense of belonging. Healthy
       relationships are a huge mood booster and help keep our hormone levels healthy. Interact in person with at least 3
       people that you do not live with every day for at least 1 minute per person. Do your best to reach out and interact
       with people you find to be positive and are enriching relationships. Social media and texts do not count. Phone calls,
       zooms, & face times can count. But in person human contact is best.
