Eat - this?
“Eat This, Not That!” by Men’s Health editor-in-chief David Zinczenko, has become one of the hottest selling nutrition guides in book stores.
The book includes a clever ranking of the country’s 20 worst foods in various categories. Here are some of them:
- Worst Fast Food Meal: McDonald’s Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips with creamy ranch sauce. Chicken sounds healthy, but not at 870 calories.
- Worst Drink: Jamba Juice Chocolate Moo’d Power Smoothie. With 166 grams of sugar, you could have had eight servings of Ben & Jerry’s.
- Worst Supermarket Meal: Pepperidge Farm Roasted Chicken Pot Pie. One pie packs 64 grams of fat.
- Worst “Healthy” Burger: Ruby Tuesday Bella Turkey Burger. With 1,145 calories, not a very healthy choice.
- Worst Airport Snack: Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll. Packed with 813 hot gooey calories and 5 grams of trans fats.
- Worst Kids’ Meal: Macaroni Grill Double Macaroni ‘n Cheese. With 62 fat grams, it’s the equivalent of 1.5 full boxes of Kraft Mac ‘n Cheese.
- Worst Salad: On the Border Grande Taco Salad with Taco Beef. A salad with 102 grams of fat and 2,410 mg of sodium.
- Worst Dessert: Chili’s Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream. At 1,600 calories, it’s like eating the caloric equivalent of three Big Macs.
Action!

To stretch or not?
The truth is that after dozens of studies and years of debate, no one really knows whether stretching helps, harms, or does anything in particular for performance or injury rates. Yet most athletes remain convinced that stretching helps, and recently more and more have felt a sort of social pressure to show that they are limber, in part due to the popularity of yoga. Flexibility has become another area where many athletes want to excel.

The Happiest Hare - Oli
Back at work with the massive high's of last weekend quickly disappearing into the past I thought I'd write a short race report, if only to remind myself of the last few days and delay the traditional low that accompanies
such a big high.
Don't be expecting anything quite as epic as Robbies works of art, I have no idea how you remember so much from a race mate - my memories tend to be a big blur of pain. Anyway...
The build up to the race weekend went smoothly and injury free, largely thanks to my personal masseuse, Kat, and certainly no thanks to the 4 weeks of boozing and eating that I took part in over my christmas holidays back home in the UK . Still, the hard work I had put in over winter and the early part of summer seemed to have paid off as I quickly found my riding legs again and having continued to run over Christmas (42km in the snow was a bit of a change from the norm!) I wasn't too concerned over that leg. There was
always the swim to worry about, but that was the least of my concerns really - I knew I could struggle through it one way or the other, as long as I put the time in in the water.
So, on to Taupo we went (Kat, myself and Alex), managing to avoid any overweight luggage charges through the deft skills of our accompanying Frenchman, who was chatting up every available Air NZ member of staff, male or female, blinding them with charm and sneaking the bags through.
Having got down to Taupo no probs and going through registration, we met up with JC, Dingo, Juan, Ben and Bevan at the carbo party on the Thursday night to begin the process of winding each other up and talking crap (well everyone else did anyway, I was too busy getting my money's worth from the
buffet).
Despite the unusually high level of interest that Dingo was showing in my hairy legs and his desire to see them smooth, I was determined to be the fastest hairy man out there, if not just the only hairy man out there.
We all met up Friday morning for a quick swim/bike/run and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the lake was to swim in. Beautiful clear water and didn't feel slow at all (comparatively speaking of course). The weather was also looking bright, which wasn't forecasted.
Having checked the bike in, complete with a set of new tires (these feature later in the story!) it was back to the apartment to rest and feed up. None of us seemed too nervous, although the chatter of the last few months of training had suddenly dissapeared and everyone was focussing on what lie
ahead.
So after a good nights sleep and porridge for breakfast, I was floating in the water at the race start, looking back up to the lakeside and the HUGE crowd that had gathered to watch the start. It was easily the most exciting race start I've been in and the atmosphere was electric. The gun went off and I quickly began my process of controlled drowing/arm flapping in an attempt to get to the far end of the course and back again in some sort of respectable time. I got out the water in 1:04, which was a 3 min PB from port last April, and started the long run up to transition, confident I would be on the bike in 1:10 which was my original goal, which I did (despite managing to rack up a longer T1 time than anyone else in the group
- no idea what I was fannying around at!).
Settled onto the bike quickly and started the long climb out of the town - when the inevitable happened and I got that soul crushing feeling that only an unusual rumbling feeling coming from your wheel can give you...yep, try as I might to pretend it hadn't happened again, my back tire has punctured.
I managed to get my brand new tire off quickly and only gave a passing thought to how much that first 10km just cost, and got the old spare tire back on there. The mechanics turned up just then with a track pump and gave me hand, and I was back on the bike in about 5/6 mins I think. I managed to stay calm and stretched out my quads a bit, keeping in mind Johns comments that if I did get a flat, just use it as a chance to have a rest and a stretch.
Back on the bike and determined to catch Alex, who had got out of the water a few mins ahead of me. The roads were bumpy and the wind was in your face for the entire way out, but I knew if I just stayed steady into the wind then I could turn the pace coming home with the tail wind. Same plan for the second and final lap, although the wind had picked up a lot, the rain had started to get heavy and the temperature had dropped, so heading out on the 45km away from town the moral was starting to drop. I hadn't seen any of the others for the whole ride and also hadn't managed to find any groups going at my pace, so I just get plugging on on my own. I finally found Alex at the final turnaround, who was having bad stomach problems but was powering on none the less.
So it was off the bike and on to my favourite part. I had managed to pull back a 5:18 ride, which considering the flat and riding on my own I was happy with. It also gave me the chance to run a 3:10 marathon for a sub 9:40 finish, which I was really after.
Kat was waiting for me at the start of the run and gave me a run down on how far ahead Juan, JC and Dingo were. I started very slowly on the run, hurting a bit from maybe going too hard on the ride. Anyway, I just plodded on for 15km until I could feel a bit of bounce back in my legs, making sure I was eating and drinking as much as I could without getting sick, then I tried to turn it on, determined to run down everyone in front of me.
A few guys hung on the back of me going into the strong wind at the far turnaround and certainly weren't trying to run as a group, which irritated me a bit made me determined to hurt them, so I gradually picked up the pace bit by bit, trying to fool them into going faster than they thought they were until they dropped, which they did. Not very nice of me, but after god knows how many hours out there, I wasn't
prepared to act as a windbreak for people!
Going into the second lap, inhaling caf gels like there was no tomorrow, I needed to run a sub 50min last 12km to nail a 3:10. sounded easy in my head, and then I hit the wind and the hill at the turnaround again, and it all went to pot. Still I powered home, trying to keep my form and pass as many people as possible. I had already gone by Juan and JC but hadn't seen Dingo anywhere, although Kat had said he was 10mins ahead going into the final lap, and it wasn't until I crossed the line that I saw him there, 1 min ahead of me.
I hadn't seen anyone in my age for the last 10km or so, so I though I must be quite high up and still though I had a chance of top 5, but soon found out I had rolled in 9th. Still, I was more than happy with top 10, with a flat, and I'd given everything I had. I would go along to roll down, if only to see what actually went on behind those locked doors...
So, roll down... the old Jim Carey announced, through his crazy bright white teeth, that of the 5 spots available in my age, 2 had been taken. I couldn't believe it...i was positive they would all go. That meant I was still 1 off contention and with 3 aussies ahead of me it seemed impossible that any of them would let this chance go.... as the name of 8th place Andy Myers echoed around the theatre, with no response, my legs went totally to jelly... convincing myself that may be I had made a mistake and wasn't next in line
at all, then Oliver Lamb was announced.
Happy days. still can't quite believe it. Some people came up to me at the after party and said "we know you, you were the happiest guy on the stage!", which pretty much sums up my NZ trip.
So, on to the running season then a cold (but hopefully not lonely - I'll be cheering all you guys at Port!!) build to Kona, smiling all the way . you know me, always smiling in the morning.
Sorry, went on a bit!
Thanks for all your messages and support,
Cheers,
Oli

Taking Chances - Amanda
Amanda's day in NZ:
I did a PB in the race.
However to be honest I was REALLY disappointed as I spent a total of 10-15 mins on the side of the road during the bike leg with MASSIVE ass cramps. It was just 5 kms out of the swim transition and there was really no reason for it which is sooooooooooo frustrating. It happened 5 separate times during the day.... on the bike off the bike on the bike off the bike I was never in a rhythm the weather was terrible , blowing a gale, but I really hung tough and finished the bike hard.
I PBed my swim by 5 mins which was such a great start... the swimming training with the 16 year old super fish paid off. In the end my bike time was OK 5.40 but I am now a 5.20/30 rider.
I went into the run with sever pain down my glutes but had to finish as I have promised myself that even if I walk I would get over that line. With 10kms to go I found a glimpse of the run legs that I had worked on over the last few weeks and ran home soooooooooo hard.
I ended up with a PB as I mentioned but as you can see no where near what I was expecting. But you all know that I am a fighter and I will be back to fight another day on April 20 with IM China.
I have pulled up OK .... i will now take only a few days off and go to Sydney for 4 days work. Then it's off to the sunny coast with Belinda G,Luke and Mathias for some good hard training b4 Port McQuarie... I am not doing that race but my boy Lukey is. YAY go LUKEY!!!!!
I absolutely loved racing hard and feeling the pressure. I was beaten by a few age grouper too which sucks but it makes me even more determined to get it all right in the next race. I was so glad that one out of the three legs was a good reflection of how hard I have been training.... next time it will be all three. The best thing about this decision that I have made to be pro is that I know that I have created the opportunity for myself to go at it again in just a few more weeks.
I live with no regrets and I heard a great quote the other day
"Champions take chances and the pressure is a privilege"
While I am yet to be a champion I am here in this life of mine willing to take this chance. This chance will pay off and I know that it is a privilege to have all of my friends support me.
Thanks a million to everyone that sends an email of support.
Stay tuned
Love Amanda

Some number crunching
Here's a fast look at the age-group men's race at Ironman New Zealand based on the top five finishers in the groups covering the ages of 18 to 44.
The fastest time came in the 30-34 age goup at 9:07. The slowest was 9:38 in the 40-44 age group.
The narrowest gap between first and fifth was 13 minutes in the 35-39 age group, where JC and Juan were competing.
The widest gap was 26 minutes in the 18-24 age group.
The 30-34 age group was the most competitive with the winner clocking a time of 9:07 and the fifth place finisher at 9:31. The guy with the 9:07 time was 12th overall.

Monsieur Blanc - 10:39
Bravo Alex! It was a PB for him even with losing his JetStream twice on the bike course. He stopped once for it but left it for a spectator the second time!
| 01:02:23 | 05:27:02 | 04:00:58 | 10:39:47 |
JC - 9:56:41
John was just outside of the top 20 in his age group. Super effort.
| 00:51:36 | 05:19:08 | 03:39:17 | 09:56:41 |
Oli Lamb - 9:47:19
Oli was 9th in his age group. [Unconfirmed but it would appear that is his first sub-10 effort and a massive 21 minute PB!]
| 01:04:20 | 05:18:28 | 03:17:06 | 09:47:19 |
Tony Dingo - M-Dot PB 9:46:21
Tony was 13th in his age group. He smashed his previous PB by 4 minutes and he smashed his previous NZ course time by more than an hour!
