A Note from the Coach
.....................
I am not sure what has happened to my off-season but it is soon to be over. The Endless Pool installation is coming along but there is no way it will be ready by January as I had hoped. This just means that January will be a typical one for me of driving 30 min each way for a swim, but I do it because there is something about the power of January and the motivation to get moving towards goals for the season. I actually look forward to meeting my friends on the pool deck at 5AM! *I hope Carol Brunson & Ben Atkins are as excited as I am!
For now I will enjoy a few more weeks of holiday fun, traveling and a total change in the training routine. I hope you all do the same!
Coach Katie

Hello active body!!!
If you want to take your training to the next level, you have to work hard. And if you want to work hard, you must keep your body healthy and well-fueled. An underfueled and undernourished body can't perform to its full potential.
I'm sure that information is not new but the methods of improving performance have certainly evolved over the past few years.
When it comes to pre workout nutrition, the purpose is simple. To prime the body for the upcoming workout. However, there are advocates and non-advocates of eating before a workout and with every "don't do it" statement there are at least a handful of reasons why not to eat before a morning workout.
Well, I want to clear up confusion so that no athlete is limiting his/her health OR performance by not fueling properly before a workout.
I hope you enjoy my podcast. You can listen to the attachment (MP4) OR you can access it on my personal or Trimarni facebook page. If you feel it was a good podcast and you learned a lot, please share so that others can learn from the information as well. I tried to keep the information simple to understand and even more simple to apply.
Also, there is more in the podcast than just pre workout nutrition. I also touch on body image with a personal recent experience with an athlete of mine (one of my focus areas is helping athletes develop a healthy relationship with food and body), discussing real food and why athletes should appreciate sport nutrition and understand how to fuel properly around workouts.
Thanks for listening! Have a great day!

 Heart Rate Monitor apparel!
Are you tired of your heart rate monitor rubbing the skin off your chest? For you ladies there are some options. Did you know there are sports bras that you can fit your heart rate monitor strap into or that already have heart rate sensing technology build in? These are a great to have for long runs or hard workouts when your HR monitor typically likes to slip around. This would also make a great stocking stuffer...

Do you have the stregnth to swim properly?
Click here to link directly to the newsletter.The Strength to Swim Properly
By IREP Athletics The early vertical forearm in swimming is an elusive skill for most adult onset swimmers. It is the ability to latch on to the water soon after the hand enters the water and pull the body past an anchored hand in an efficient manner. The swimmer does this by internally rotating the shoulder allowing the hand and forearm to drop below the elbow before initiating the pull while the arm stays abducted out to the side. The swimmer should feel some resistance from the water medium in the palmar aspect of the hand and on the forearm. This feeling can be illustrated by imagining a driver in a car rolling down their window and placing their hand on the side view mirror. If they were to externally rotate their shoulder and lift their hand straight up (as if they were signaling a Right turn on a bicycle) they would feel a similar resistance on their hand and forearm.
A common problem for some swimmers is dropping the elbow below the forearm and hand and pulling with a straight arm. People simply do not have the strength to hold elbow in a high position close to the surface as the forearm and hand drops down during the catch and pull.
We can address the strength deficit with the exercises below: Prone Scaption Series All of the following exercises can be done on a Treatment table, flat weight bench, incline weight bench or on a stability ball:
"I"/ "i's" - the arms remain close to the trunk and are raised with the palms facing each other. The shoulder can flex and the arms extend past the head or the shoulders can flex bring the hands near the hips "T" the arms are abducted with a straight arm. Weight may be added to the hand. This exercise can be done with thumb up and thumb down "W" the arms are abducted out to the side with a flexed elbow creating "W' shape. The palms should face the ground "Y" the arms are extended out in front of the head. This exercise can be done with the thumb up and thumb down.Weight/Band Bent Over 90 degree Shoulder Abduction Weights or bands are placed in the hands with shoulder and elbow both abducted to 90 degrees the weight is lifted straight up linearly. The hands should remain on plan and not deviate towards or away from the body. Standing Shoulder Flexion with External Rotation Isometric Using Band Shoulders are flexed overhead and arms are slightly internally rotated as if initiating the catch phase of the freestyle stroke. This isometric contraction should be held static for time. Prone Resisted Abduction and External Rotation Isometric Resistance for abduction can be placed around the elbow joint using a band or weight cuff. The use of a distal weight in the hand stressing the isometric external rotation can be utilized to emphasize keeping the shoulder high when initiating the catch phase of the swim stroke.

Negative Split Club 2014 Members
You are invited to be a member of the "negative split club" by being given the challenge by your coach in your race description. There is nothing negative about this club. A Negative Split simply means that you ran the first half of the race slower than the last half which takes discipline and pacing. You have to submit your Garmin GPS file for verification. The reward? Usually a great race and we send you an awesome travel coffee mug!
