In “Frazz,” Jef Mallett chronicles in cartoons the balance his main character strives to strike between his work as a school custodian, his relationship with third-grade teacher Miss Plainwell, and the training and racing schedule of a mid-pack triathlete. In the book “Trizophrenia: Inside the Minds of a Triathlete,” Mallett takes a shot at explaining why multisport types do what they do, drawing on (pun intended) his own experience as a gainfully employed, happily married, former-bike-racer-turned-triathlete.

A short time ago I heard about the awesome nutritional value of quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah), which is a great high-fiber vegetarian food as it contains all of the complete essential amino acids that are found in animal products, but has the added bonus of being a whole grain as well. This month, Endurance is proud to bring you another great Brandon McDearis recipe, Quinoa with Garlic Chickpeas and Wilted Spinach, which will knock your socks off in both taste and nutrition, considering the addition of spinach, another superfood, amongst the other tasty and healthy ingredients. Clearly in a “Best Of” category all his own, we didn’t include “Best Personal Chef” in our Best Of awards voting, so I want to give Brandon a mention for not just his amazing recipes for Endurance but for his charitable work for abandoned children in Peru, as well. Thank you, Brandon!
We would also like to thank all of our readers who participated in our Second Annual Best Of Awards online survey. Our 2011 voting saw even more responses from our readers than last year, so we’re excited to reveal the big winners in this issue. This year’s results are sure to confirm what you already knew in some categories and open your eyes in others. If you’re like me, you’ll jump at the chance to try something new and Endurance Magazine’s Second Annual Best Of Awards issue can serve as your map to hidden gems and treasures all over North Carolina. Make sure to congratulate the winners and finalists while you’re out buying gear, dining, training, racing and recovering from your training and racing in 2012.

For me, a simple change in weather is reason enough to go out for a run. When I noticed the beautiful red, orange and yellow leaves on Rainwater Drive in Raleigh, I parked my car on a side street and ran the hilly golf course neighborhood. Cold inclement weather isn’t a deterrent, but a reason, for me to run. I love bundling up and running on a cold winter day and often promise myself a hot cup of coffee or bowl of soup when I’m finished and thoroughly chilled.
For those who appreciate the winter season as much as me, we’ve got a great “Getting Started” article for you this month: snowshoe racing! We recently became aware that the North Carolina’s Beech Mountain Resort is hosting the Inaugural North Carolina State Snowshoe Championships on January 7th. In addition to Beech Mountain, there a number of ski resorts in the western part of the State that offer great snow for this winter sport. The event is open to beginners, too, and will offer loaner snow shoes for those looking to try it out.

In a state more famous for tobacco and sweet potatoes, North Carolina has cultivated quite a field of distance runners hoping to represent the United States in the London Olympics. Their next hurdle, pardon the pun, is January’s Olympic Marathon Trials, run in conjunction with the Houston Marathon. And for the first time, both the men’s and women’s hopefuls will run the same course on the same day at the same time.
