*An excerpt from a High5 news release - contact JH for more info
After much trial and error, High5 have developed a unique maltodextrin and high fructose blend of carbohydrate. This unique blend has been shown to maximise gastric emptying, while allowing in excess of 90g of carbohydrate per hour to be transported through the gut wall with minimal gastric distress.
Super Carb’s has been extensively tested in the lab and in action. High5 are the nutrition suppliers for pro cycle team CSC. Super Carb’s was used in last year’s Tour de France, where riders consumed up to 120g of carbohydrate per hour in the early stages of the race and suffered no gastric distress.
Because fructose drags additional water across the gut wall as it is absorbed, riders were also shown to benefit from significantly faster hydration. Extensive lab research will be published by mid April on the substantial energy and hydration benefits of High5’s Super Carb’s formulation.
It is predicted that we will show a 50% increase in carbohydrate oxidation rates, a significant increase in water uptake and a reduction in gastric distress, as compared to a maltodextrin only drink.

Enthusiasm for Life
There has been a lot of words written about Steve Irwin and a lot of it has seemed over the top to me. But I did think these comments in a New York Times editorial touched on the essence of his life.
``...there are far worse ways to view the natural world than through the eyes of a young child, and Mr. Irwin offered a far more temperate version of the classic 6-year-old-boy approach, which is to confront a wild animal, marvel at its strength and ferocity, and then try to hit it with a rock. For Mr. Irwin, wild nature was something to wonder at, and he did so with an enthusiasm indistinguishable from love. Animals — even deadly ones — are good, poachers are evil, and, crikey, that’s pretty much it.
Call that simple-minded, call it dumb, but it resonates. Future environmentalists and conservationists have to come from somewhere, and if the energetic wonderment of the Crocodile Hunter has seeped into the brains of significant numbers of children — as it did that of Sean, who went trick-or-treating as Mr. Irwin last year, who turned 6 with a crocodile cake, who wears khaki and boots and fills notebooks with meticulous drawings of reptiles — then Mr. Irwin used his 44 years remarkably well.''

Going to Florida .. hmm maybe not
I didn't actually realise that I had a spot to race at the 70.3 Champs in Florida until I received a recall notice this morning.
This note arrived yesterday, and because I sign up for every triathlon newsletter I see, I didn't pay much attention to it.
Timothy,
Heather Gollnick and the Iron Edge Staff would like to personally congratulate you on qualifying for the Ford Ironman 70.3 World Championship, which is sure to be one of the premier events in all of Triathlon.
We are proud to be part of the Ironman Team!!
And then this arrived overnight:
Dear Timothy,
You may have recently received an email that announced Heather Gollnick's IronEdge training camp and congratulated you on qualifying for the 2006 Ford Ironman World Championship 70.3 taking place on November 11 in Clearwater, FL.
If you have not already received an official qualifying certificate at one of our events, this email was sent in error and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused you.
Oh well ...

Consistency
From a comment by Gordo on xtri
Protocol impacts the amount of "work" that we can absorb and, ultimately, "work absorbed" is what determines performance. So the plan (or person) that enhances our ability to absorb training is what proves optimal over the long run. That is probably why discussions over training protocol are a lot like discussions over nutrition. At a deep level, we know that our own choices are what determine results. It is also why the best coaches are the people the figure out how to get their athletes to absorb the most training, not the guys with the best scientific knowledge.
Many coaches allude to the fact that they have a superior method. I'd be wary of those people. The best coaches that I've met are the ones that admit that they get nearly as much wrong as they get right.

Mark's Day in Penticton
Just a quick note from over here in Canada. The race might not have gone exactly as planned, but I'm in pretty good spirits so no major dramas.
I had a decent swim and bike and felt good at the start of the run, but unfortunately it's the whole marathon that counts! I was following my nutrition plan, but my stomach just couldn't handle it. It starting giving way at about the 1/3 mark and after a nice little spew job at the the side of the road I ended up walking the last 15k as nothing would go in. I think maybe the heat had something to do with it, as it was somewhere in the 30s, but I guess I didn't adapt my plan appropriately enough.
It's kind of weird as I was really disappointed after New Zealand was cancelled and while I'm obviously a bit disappointed by my result, I'm not too bummed about this race as it's just par for the course in this sport, where one minute you be on track for a decent race to just battling it out for a finish:)
It was a pretty cool course, so I'll be back for another shot someday. Thanks for all the encouragement from everybody.
I'm having a good time over here, as I've never spent much time in British Columbia before. Catching up with some Uni friends in Victoria and Vancouver and saw my parents for a few days. I'll be back in Sydney next week, so look forward to seeing everybody:)
Cheers,
Mark

Charlotte's Day in Penticton
Ironman Canada done, but definitely not dusted.
I was 6th female overall in a time of 10.12. I am not disappointed with my result, but I know I can do better. Third place was only 3 minutes faster, and I feel it should have been within my capabilities.
It was fantastic to be there when Belinda Granger finally held off the "Bentley Blast". She really deserved the win.
We had the perfect day to start with. The lake was like glass, the skies clear and there was no wind. I swam well, was very comfortable and came out in a group with Lisa Bentley and Amanda Lovato in just over 59 minutes. Leaving town the crowd was
enormous. It was a big rush, and hard not to speed up with the cheers.
Onto the road I kept within my heart rate ranges. I was careful not to go out too hard since there was 70kms of flats to start with and then hills, hills and more hills. I thought I was going along ok, but my 5 hour 50 minute bike split says otherwise. I think I just rode way too conservatively and needed to be more
aggressive.
The last 30kms was a downhill back to town where I thought I would make up time, but the headwind lessened this.
I was off the bike in about 16th position, so I knew I had a lot of work to do. The run course is an undulating out and back along Skaha Lake. The 1st 21kms was into a head wind and pretty tough going, but towards the turnaround I had a good look at where my competitors were. Apart from Belinda and Lisa, the others weren't looking too flash. Turning around I was now heading for home, had a tailwind, and lots of carrots.
This is the best part of the race for me. I was picking off girls one by one, and gaining energy each time. I got plenty of support from the crowd, and was told 3rd was a possibility if I kept going. In the end I ran out of road.
Coming into the home straight, an out and back to the finish, I caught sight of 5th, just ahead, and better still - [she was] walking! But as the crowd urged me to "get her" she saw me and started running. Well I picked up my pace and stayed with her, but her final sprint saw me with nothing in return. These little legs had no sprint in them.
My 3.18 run split was the 2nd fastest after Lisa Bentley, I negative split, and I was happy with that. I had let the strong riders get way too far down the road, and had too much catching up to do on the run. The course definitely suited the strong riders, but its amazing few of them were able to run well off it. The hills on the run made it extremely fair. You had to be a biker and a runner.
I don't know if this race will be on my schedule for next year, but I do want to go back and conquer it.
I now look forward to a new look at training, and the build to Ironman Western Australia in December.
Thank you all for your ongoing support.

Reid in the zone
From Inside Triathlon magazine
see link on first posting
The man in the zone knows no pain
IT: You no longer had the spark to inhabit all this pain?
Peter Reid: When I was on and in a total zone, I felt nothing. I felt no pain whatsoever. When you're in the zone, your adrenaline is pumping, you're numb to the pain. All that matters is Who is up the road? I've got to attack! When you're going through the motions, there is no drive, no attack mode. Last year, all of a sudden, I remember going "This hurts! This really really hurts!" Once I was aware of it, I felt this was not a place I enjoy going to. Believe me, I thoroughly enjoyed being in that total zone. When you are racing that way, you don't see anything but what is inside that tunnel. But all of a sudden, I'm not in there. It's funny, but I don't miss it. Ultimately it was an easy decision

Q: Was there a reason you did well at Hawaii and not at an important race like Germany?
Peter Reid: Hawaii just suited me perfectly. I loved the headwinds, loved the heat, and loved the salt-water swim. I'm almost too big to race fast. I never really raced that fast, but I raced strong. That is the one biggest reason why I did well in Hawaii - there the strongest man - mentally and physically - wins. That is also why I never did well in Germany. Germany was too fast for me. I just could not keep up. But in Hawaii, the speeds were a little slower. A little slower on the bike, a harder swim - it had chop, currents, swells. It demands a stronger competitor and my body is better suited for all that stuff. I should have done Lanzarote.

Six IM in Six countries in 60 days
Thursday, August 31, 2006
VANCOUVER -- An Edmonton man has established himself as the Ironman of all Ironmen.
Mike Cabigon, 32, successfully completed six Ironman triathlons in six different countries in just 60 days -- a feat never before accomplished -- all in the name of raising money for cancer.
On August 26, Cabigon completed his sixth Ironman triathlon, Ironman Canada, held in Penticton, B.C.
Prior to that, he had already completed the Ironman UK (Aug. 20 at Shebourne Castle); Ironman Germany (July 23 in Frankfurt); Ironman Austria (July 16 in Klagenfurt); Ironman Switzerland (July 2 in Zurich); and his first competition in the challenge, Ironman France (July 25 in Nice).

“World Champion. Can you believe it!,” exclaimed Don. “I have a good formula for success and that is consistent training. This race was won in training rather than out there today.”

Many people questioned whether Snowsill was in good enough shape to win a third world championships title but she proved all doubters wrong on this sunny afternoon. It was Snowsill all the way as she even had time to thank some of the 60,000 spectators that lined the course and finish line as she cruised through the finish tape.
"I ran like I had nothing to lose. I just had to go out and leave nothing behind,” stated Snowsill on her history-making performance.

Dry and Hot Ahead
Aug. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Australia, which suffered its worst drought in a century in 2002, may have below-average rainfall and above-average temperatures in some parts of the nation in the next three months amid the threat an El Nino may develop.
There's a between 60 percent to 80 percent chance of above- average temperatures over most of the country in the three months ending November, the Bureau of Meteorology said today on its Web site.
The chance of above-average rainfall is below 40 percent over much of the country, excluding an area in southwest Western Australia state, it said.

The chance of above-average rainfall is below 40 percent over much of the country, excluding an area in southwest Western Australia state, it said.
Watch the scale
Aug. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Americans who carry just a few extra pounds at age 50 raise their risk of dying 20 to 40 percent compared with those who are at the optimal weight, a study says.
The findings, gathered over 10 years, come from a study of more than 500,000 members of the AARP, the organization for older Americans. The increased risk was most pronounced among overweight people who didn't smoke, eliminating another major risk factor, the researchers said.
The risk from carrying 10 to 20 extra pounds has been debated for years in medical circles. While no one disputes the fact that the obese are more likely to develop diabetes, heart disease and cancer, the danger from a few pounds that gradually creep on with age has been less clear, researchers said.
``We know that being obese causes all sorts of health risks to increase,'' said Lawrence Cheskin, director of the Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center in Baltimore. ``What is hard to demonstrate is that for people who are not extremely heavy, there is a risk of actual death.''

Gatlin gets eight years
Aug. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Olympic 100-meter champion Justin Gatlin agreed to an eight-year ban from track and field events, avoiding a lifetime suspension in exchange for providing information that may assist the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency in its effort to eradicate drugs from the sport.
Gatlin, a 24-year-old American, forfeits the world record in the 100 meters he shares with Jamaica's Asafa Powell. Gatlin tied the mark in May, when he was timed in 9.77 seconds.
Gatlin agreed to the accuracy of the laboratory results that showed he tested positive for testosterone or its precursors at a meet in April, the agency said in a statement. He agreed the positive test constitutes a doping violation, the agency said.

TRI NSW new president
NEW CEO at Triathlon NSW
Posted:: 26 Jul 2006
I’m delighted to report that we have secured the services of Peter Tate, who will join Tri NSW as Chief Executive Officer on 28 August.
Peter, who holds a surveying degree from the University of Newcastle, has always been a keen sportsman, playing soccer, cricket, rugby league, hockey and baseball. He has held all imaginable club positions over a sporting administrative career spanning two decades, and has been employed in the Sport & Rec industry since post-graduating with a Master of Sports Management at UTS.
Stints include Sports Officer at Central Queensland University in Rockhampton, and Sport & Rec QLD Regional Adviser for a vast geographical area in Central Qld. Returning to NSW as CAMS State Manager for two years, Peter was responsible for 600+ motor sport events annually and the sustainability of 107 affiliated clubs. Most recently Peter has been employed by the Federal Govt to develop regional projects across the Sydney metropolitan basin. This role involved funding liaison with Local Government Authorities and state/regional sporting organisations, specifically where sporting infrastructure projects are concerned.
Additionally, Peter has been a Board Member of the NSW Sports Federation since 2003 (alongside TA’s CEO Andrew Hamilton) and has chaired the Officials Advisory Committee during that period of time.
Peter brings vigour, passion and vast experience to Tri NSW. Although his only taste as a competitor has been at a novice Triathlon in Mackay, I am confident that Peter will make a substantial contribution to our sport.

Floyd Floyd and Floyd
Landis Results Due This Week
Gary Klein, From LA Times Staff and Wire Reports
August 2, 2006
Tour de France champion Floyd Landis, whose initial doping tests turned up positive, gets another chance to clear his name when a second set is expected to be released Saturday.
However, the 30-year-old cyclist and his lawyer have previously acknowledged that they expect the "B" sample to show the same elevated ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone found in the "A" sample last week.
Michael Henson, a spokesman for the cyclist, confirmed Tuesday that a urine test on Landis after the tour's 17th stage turned up an 11:1 ratio — far above the 4:1 limit allowed. A 1:1 ratio is average.
The "A" sample was provided July 20 by the cyclist after he raced his way back into contention by winning a tough Alpine leg with a ride that will long be remembered by race fans.
Landis has insisted that his body's natural metabolism — not doping — caused the elevated result, and said he would undergo further tests to prove it.
But a New York Times report cast doubt on that defense. The newspaper cited a source from the UCI, cycling's international federation, saying that a second analysis of the "A" sample, called a carbon isotope ratio test, had detected synthetic testosterone in Landis' system.

North Face Endurance 50
Dean Karnazes seeks to redefine human limits in The North Face® Endurance 50
The venerable marathon has assumed a sacred place in the heart of athletics. 26.2 miles. More than 45,000 strides. Agony and euphoria. Some have described it as experiencing all of life’s emotions in one, five-hour span.
And Dean will attempt to run 50 of them: 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 consecutive days.
Known as The North Face Endurance 50 (“E50”, for short), this test of human fortitude will begin on September 17 at the Lewis & Clark Marathon in St. Louis, Missouri, and conclude 50 days later in New York’s Central Park, at the finish line of the legendary New York City Marathon.
Dean will be running roughly 4:30 to 5:00 hour marathons, that translates to about 10:00 to 11:40 minute miles.
The venerable marathon has assumed a sacred place in the heart of athletics. 26.2 miles. More than 45,000 strides. Agony and euphoria. Some have described it as experiencing all of life’s emotions in one, five-hour span.
And Dean will attempt to run 50 of them: 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 consecutive days.

Floyd!!!!
Tour de France winner fails doping test
Associated Press
LONDON — Floyd Landis' stunning Tour de France victory just four days earlier was thrown into question Thursday when his team said he tested positive for high levels of testosterone during the race.
The Phonak team suspended Landis, pending results of the backup “B” sample of his drug test. If Landis is found guilty of doping, he could be stripped of the Tour title, and Spain's Oscar Pereiro would become champion.
It wasn't immediately known when the backup sample will be tested.
Efforts to reach Landis were not immediately successful. But Arlene Landis said her son called Thursday from Europe and told her he had not done anything wrong.

THE longest foot race in the world is 4988 kilometres, long enough to stretch from New York to Los Angeles. But those who run it choose a different route: they circle one city block in Queens for two months straight.
The athletes lap their block more than 5000 times. They wear out 12 pairs of shoes. They run more than two marathons daily. In the heat and rain of a New York summer, they stop for virtually nothing except to sleep between midnight and 6am.
"I think this is what they're looking for: the feeling that you're living life for real," runner Pranab Vladovic said of himself and 13 other athletes now competing in the 10th annual Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race in Jamaica, Queens.

Tour de ...
MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia's cyclists celebrated their best Tour de France by saying it was only a matter of time before one of them won the sport's most illustrious prize. Cadel Evans came fifth and Michael Rogers 10th on Sunday as Australia claimed two top-10 finishers for the first time. King of the sprints Robbie McEwen also secured the third green jersey of his career after wins in 2002 and 2004.
Simon Gerrans finished 79th and Stuart O'Grady, who was third in Sunday's final stage, claimed 91st place despite competing in great pain after breaking a vertebra in a fall during the third stage.

Black beared
(CBS4) BOULDER, Colo. A woman from Denver hit a black bear Sunday on the Boulder Peak triathlon and still managed to complete the course.
Sabrina Oei was bicycling on the grueling course through Boulder's Lefthand Canyon and making good time when a bear suddenly appeared.
"It was sort of galumphing across the street," Oei said. "I tried to slow down as much as I could but I pretty much broadsided it going about 35 miles per hour. I couldn't believe it had happened, I mean, who hits a bear?"
Oei flew over her handle bars, hit the pavement and slid along the road. She incredibly got up and got back on the saddle.

Speedy swim
Sydney - Australia's Tammy van Wisse had another world record in her possession Saturday after the 37-year-old marathon swimmer came first in a 35-kilometre race in New York.
Van Wisse broke the 81-year-old record held by American Gertrude Ederle for the swim from New York City to Sandy Hook in New Jersey that passes landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Governor's Island and Coney Island.
Her time of 5 hours, 6 minutes and 48 seconds beat Ederle's record, set in 1925, by 2 hours and 5 minutes.

Belinda on Roth
Just a small part of her race report in the latest TriTravel newsletter:
Well another Quelle Challenge completed- my third now and another second place to add to my collection of a first (2005) and second (2004). I have to admit that I am a little disappointed with my second place as I desperately wanted to win again after experiencing the finish line last year but at the same time I am also happy with my race- a new PB over this distance- 9:10:27 and a new cycle PB, and the fastest bike split of the day- 4:54:21.

Hand over Hand
KINGSTON, ONT. — As she neared the shore of Lake Ontario yesterday and the crowd began to roar, Jenna Lambert found the energy, after 32 hours of swimming, to push a little harder.
The teenager switched from the slow, freestyle strokes she'd used for 32 kilometres, and in eight powerful butterfly strokes propelled herself to a silver walker half-submerged in the water and slowly came ashore.
With that heroic move, the 15-year-old from Kingston became the first disabled woman to swim across Lake Ontario.
Jenna, who has cerebral palsy, swam from Baird Point, N.Y., to her Ontario home town using only her arms.

Pay Day
APOLIS (AP-CP) _ Hunter Kemper battled back from an illness and through steaming heat on Saturday to become just the second American and first American male to win the $500,000 US Life Time Fitness Triathlon.
Kemper held off Ukrainian Volodymyr Polikarpenko by 12.6 seconds to win the $200,000 US grand prize, which includes a $30,000 sport-utility vehicle.
Kemper's time was one hour 49 minutes 45.1 seconds in the 1.5-kilometre swim, 40-kilometre bike and 10-kilometre run.
The Life Time Triathlon offers the most prize money in the sport of triathlon.
Kemper, who was slowed by an illness earlier this month, and the rest of the men's professional field started 9:49 behind the women, as the Life Time Fitness Triathlon uses an equalizer so men and women can compete against each other.
Kemper had to chase down the frontrunning Emma Snowsill of Australia in order to win the overall grand prize. Nine women started the 10k run before Kemper.
Snowsill, who was the top female finisher in 2005, defended her title and finished ninth overall in 2:00:34.9 to win $80,000.

Mona's Home First - Watch out!
another 32dg day and blue skies ... perfect day and a 12 midday start ... the build up to this more "beginners" race was simone rank v wolfgang rank (dad) with myself thrown in and a last minute next door neighbour thrown in for moral support for wolfgang (amie)
race distance confirmed 200m swim,10k bike 2k run ... wolfgang's last words before race were a confident "i havn't smoked for 4 hrs" ... amie was too busy trying to work out how not to strip naked in transition ... simone "i never went out last night" spent the last hour wondering if the elastic in her swimmers was going to hold during the swim ...
jh was just smiling in disbelief they had all turned up ... about 800 entrants with bundles of 7 year olds ... so so funny ... but in our wave about 100

onto bike and mona is off like a shot, 1/4 way mark and 2 mins up, half way mark and 1 min up, i go back to see wolfgang, he's feeling good so i tell him he could catch her ... off i go to keep mona company, amie is in front of wolfgang suprisingly ... by the end of bike wolfgang could see mona ... hmm could be interesting
onto run which is beside a lake, i let mona go trying to get split on wolfgang ... 1 min out ohhh ... i run to mona and report back, no answer, could be hurting, i think so, half way mark and run turns to walk, it's hot out there
wolfgang in sight, haha yes he's walking, amie's in front of wolfy ... return journey downhill and wind behind ... mona's got it sown up, style comes good and smile returns ...

Running a fast marathon
From a story in The New York Times:
The overwhelming challenge, the group (of runners, coaches and scientists) agreed, was to run well in high heat and humidity. Dr. Martin, analyzing performance records for men, calculated that the optimum temperature for a fast marathon was about 54 degrees (12 celcius). Running times, he said, slow by one minute or more with every seven degrees above that, because it becomes more difficult for the body to cool itself.
When it is humid, sweat does not easily evaporate, so the body sweats even more. Blood volume drops, and the body has to make a choice: divert blood to the skin for cooling or divert it to the muscles for performance. It sends blood to the skin.
The result is predictable, Dr. Martin said. With less blood going to the muscles, the runner slows down or stops. The challenge, then, is to find the fastest pace that can be maintained for 26 miles. Go too fast and you may collapse before the race is over. Go a little slower than you have to and you may lose the race.

KLAGENFURT, Austria (AP) - Two-time world champion Canadian Lori Bowden fell just short of claiming the women's triathlon title at the Ironman Austria event on Sunday.
Rebecca Preston, 27, of Australia claimed the women's title in Klagenfurt, just two weeks after her victory at the Ironman Switzerland race. Preston finished in 9:12:09 to survive a brave fight by Bowden.
Bowden, a resident of Victoria, ran the marathon - her first race after becoming a mother ten months ago - almost eight minutes faster than Preston, but still trailed the overall winner by two minutes and 50 seconds, finishing in 9:14:59.

Snowsill's Potential Payday
From AAP via the Sydney Morning Herald
The diminutive Gold Coaster won two Olympic distance races in one extraordinary weekend in the US to put herself halfway to a $US200,000 ($A266,100) bonus payment.
Snowsill's wins in Minneapolis and New York in the space of just 24 hours - only made possible by a private Lear jet flight - came just eight days after her victory in a World Cup round in Edmonton, Canada.
It was her sixth win in as many races in 2006, including her memorable Commonwealth Games triumph in Melbourne, and she is the standout favourite to win her second world title in Lausanne, Switzerland.
But the remaining two events of the four-race Life Time fitness series in the US are held a week either side of the world titles.
Snowsill must win in Chicago (August 27) and Los Angeles (September 10) to collect the bonus.

The air's thinner here
Northland triathlete Sam Warriner may repeat an altitude training regime in the final countdown to the World Championships in Switzerland in August after a spell in rarified oxygen got her in shape for a podium finish at Edmonton, Canada, at the weekend.
Warriner spent 10-days training at altitude with the New Zealand elite squad in Boulder, Colorado before heading to Edmonton for the ITU World Cup series race and grabbing a hard-earned third place.
It was such a success that she is now considering repeating the exercise to try to gain something extra in an all-out bid for a win at the World Championships.

Mountain Biker Needs Bike!
Hi Everyone
I was wondering if anyone has a Mountain Bike they would be happy to lend to me for 6 months whilst I train for the Steve Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge.
The race is providing top of the line Specialised dual suspension bikes for the event, hence I am not in the market to buy one for the race or until convinced of a future in Mountain Bike racing.
Would be most appreciative and promise to look after it!
Cheers Gina

Other findings
Other interesting findings featured in the Medibank report include:
- sports injuries cost the Australian community about $2 billion per year;
- `individual’ rather than ‘team-based’ activities are more popular amongst active Australians - walking, aerobics/fitness, swimming and golf rank in the top five participation activities;
- Australia’s fittest State (per capita) is the ACT which has 76.1% physically active residents, with Western Australia coming a close second (with 74.9%);
- South Australia takes out the ‘wooden spoon’ in the sports participation stakes – being the least active State with 57.7% of residents taking part in regular activity;
- in terms of average body mass, Tasmania tips the scales as the heaviest State (with an average body mass index of 27.20 per person), followed by New South Wales and the ACT (both 25.88);
- Western Australians were shown to be the lightest, with an average body mass index of 24.91 per person;
- the highest risk age group for injury was 18 to 24 year-olds;
- most common sports injuries are knee (16%), ankle (11%), general bruising and cuts (8%) and back (7%);and
- sports injury rates peak during the winter months of May, June and July because cold muscles, tendons and ligaments increase the risk of being hurt.

Share the bike lane!
Motorbikes and scooters should be allowed to be ridden slowly in bicycle-only traffic lanes, the nation's peak motorcycle group says.
The Motorcycle Riders Association of Australia (MRAA) says while the practice is technically illegal, it has been generally tolerated in the past.
"We again urge government to explicitly legalise the sharing of these lanes with a maximum speed limit of 30kph being places on motorcycles and scooters," Mr Maggs said.
The call comes as Mr Maggs said police in Victoria were cracking down on motorcycle and scooter riders who used the bike lanes to escape gridlocked intersections.
"There has been an upsurge in the pointless policing of this practice," he said.
Mr Maggs said rising petrol prices, and worsening traffic congestion, had resulted in motorists changing over to powered two-wheeled transport at twice the rate of those turning to bicycles.

Whitfield can still run
Simon Whitfield blistered the run course at the 2006 HSBC National Championships and won his sixth Canadian national title despite trailing by more than one minute heading into the final 10km run.
Whitfield stole the spotlight and left the 3,000 spectators at Professor's Lake in awe with his incredible run split of 30:17. Whitfield easily outdistanced Hamilton native, Colin Jenkins, by 25 seconds and finished with a time of 1:51:11.

Running Away by Tim
There's something very simple about running, which is true for every sport: consistent training translates into success. And short and long-term goals help keep you motivated.
When I first started to run, it was hard work. I remember very clearly signing up for a learn to run course when I was in Vancouver. I had always felt fit but as we all know there are different levels of fitness. I went for a run the night before the course and I started off way too fast and was walking within 10 minutes -- and rethinking why it is I wanted to run.
There are days now when I run and it's effortless, and others when I struggle. I still need to work on my pacing but I'm far better at it now than ever. And I also still need to work on pushing through the walls of fatigue and discomfort that sometimes hold me back. Speed work has really helped.
In the last eight years, I've completed six marathons and six ironmen. There were lots of shorter races in between, some that I consider victories and others rather discouraging.
Heading into the Gold Coast I was confident that I could run sub 3:15, yet I hadn't yet done so. I was actually thinking of an even faster time and I'm confident that I haven't yet reached my potential.
I was looking for some redemption after what I considered to be a disappointing day at Ironman Malaysia.
The more that I race, the easier it is to put each race into perspective and to focus on the positives and how to train and race smarter the next time.
After the race in Malaysia I was asked what my next race was going to be. I said the Gold Coast Marathon and that I would aim to run faster than the 3:24:54 that I ran on the same course three years ago.
The questioner, a Malaysian martial arts champion, said I should aim for 2:45. I laughed. But he was serious and said set a goal that is ambitious, and then be honest with yourself in training for it. And if you are a bit short, you'll still have achieved a personal best.
I knocked 11 minutes off my marathon PB on Sunday. Another step forward awaits.
