Note
Dick Hoyt pushing his son Rick, who has cerebral palsy, along the run
course of the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii - that is what
triathlon is all about to me. Hoyt is often the person people cite as
the catalyst for their own Ironman journey. I reflected on this last
month when I finished [Read

Food
for Fuel - Roasted Vegetable Israeli Couscous
Couscous is one of those familiar items seen on many ethnic menus and
inside the grocery store, usually on the aisle with the rice and
quinoa. Most people assume it is a grain of some sort, but it is
actually steamed balls made of semolina flower that originated in
Northern Africa. It’s much bigger “cousin” Israeli couscous looks
similar, but is much larger and lighter in color. However, aside from
their name and shape, the two are actually quite different. Israeli
couscous does indeed originate from Israel, where it is called Ptitum,
but [read more]

Prevent These Five Common Cycling
Injuries
Everything you do in life has risks, and
cycling is no exception. Each year in the United States, more than half
a million people end up in the emergency room due to a bicycle-related
injury. But telling an avid rider to stay off a bike is like telling a
bird not to fly—it goes against nature. Instead, let’s talk [read

Managing
Your Mastectomy
 As
a sports physical therapist, I don’t see breast cancer survivors often
for the sole reason of complications resulting for their surgery. A
handful of cases a year come into our clinic, mostly swimmers and
cyclists, and we treat them to help them return to sport as soon as
possible. Recently, a dear friend and fellow cyclist on our local team,
was diagnosed with early stage cancer and after some simple research, I
quickly became aware more and more people are having mastectomies with
or without reconstruction across the country. Some of these patients
have biopsied tissue and the results were positive for cancer. [read more]

Gran
Fondo Boone | August 6 | Boone, NC
In mid-summer, the High Country of North Carolina enjoys 80-degree
temperatures while the surrounding East Coast temperatures hover in the
high 90s. Early August is a prime time to be in Boone! The Boone Gran
Fondo rolls through Appalachian State University, climbs beside
picturesque Winklers Creek, the gorgeous Shull’s Mill Road, and passes
the Blue Ridge Parkway. With sections of the course like a paved roller
coaster, you’ll pass the Grandfather Mountain Park entrance and
experience an amazing ride downhill into the town of Linville. As you
ride into the North Toe River Valley you’ll enjoy a few tranquil
moments before an awesome ascent. Another nice downhill waits on the
other side. The beautiful Bethel Valley brings riders to a climb to the
Tennessee State Line and then cruises on a very long gradual downhill
grade through the valley and communities of Sugar Grove and Valle
Crucis before a climb up Laurel Fork and White Oak roads back to the
town of Boone. This is a ride you do not want to miss!
For more information, visit Boone Gran Fondo.
