Spring is Right Around the Corner! (Maybe...)
Board Meeting
On Wednesday Punxsutawney Phil, the weather forecasting
groundhog, will be venturing
from his burrow to provide
his prediction about what

rest of the winter.

According to legend, if
Punxsutawney Phil sees his
shadow, there will be six
more weeks of winter weather. If he does not see his shadow,
there will be an early spring.
After all the snow and cold temperatures that this winter has
blessed us with, I'm sure many are itching for warmer weather
and a return to springtime training!

Winter Training Facility (WTF) News!
The coming of the New Year brought the debut of the brand
new CNY Triathlon Club Winter Training Facility. Over a dozen
club members were on hand on New Year's Day to try out our
new facilities and equipment.
Bella Domani
Catering & Banquet Facility
www.belladomani.net
By now you are probably aware that CNY TRI is leasing space in
Shoppingtown Mall for use as an indoor cycling center for club
members (also OCC members). We have 50 brand new, top
quality Kurt Kinetic trainers, two large screen video monitors, a
DVD/CD player and a sound system to help you keep your
biking legs in shape during the winter months.
The Bike Loft
www.bikeloft.com
Two kinds of training sessions are being held: instructor taught
spinning classes and DVD Spinnervals sessions.
The WTF is only open at times of scheduled training sessions.
Right now, we have one or two sessions scheduled almost
every day of the week. The schedule and all the details can be
found at:
www.cnytriathlon.org/winter-training-facility.
The Bikery
www.thebikery.com
Page 3 of 14
Find a convenient time and try out this great club member
benefit. If any of you want to host a session yourself on a
regular weekly basis, pick yourself an open spot in the
schedule, and we will set you up. No experience needed. It
can be as simple as placing a DVD in a slot. Also, if you would
like to donate or lend a DVD to our library, bring one with you,
labeled with your name if you would like it back.
Finally, a big thank you to a number of generous sponsors and
contributors who have helped make this happen: Dr. Dan
Wnorowski, the Onondaga Cycling Club, Ra-Lin, Kurt Kinetic,
Syracuse Bicycle, and the Bike Loft.

Letter from the President
Hi members!
Can you believe that it's already February? It seems like yesterday we were swimming at
Jamesville without a care in the world. Then the season ended and the snow was flying. And boy
did it fly - over 100" so far. That should not prevent us from training and getting ready for the new
race season.
I'm guessing that many of you have put your training on the back burner. Now is the time to start
ramping up, and there are tons of places in CNY to start up. There are swim clinics, coaching
programs, spin classes, but best of all, we have the WTF, short for Winter Training Facility. Our
3,000 sq. ft. space at Shoppingtown Mall is filled with 50 brand spanking new Kurt Kinetic trainers,
two large screen TVs, a great sound system, and a CD/DVD player.
You should come and check it out. Look at: http://www.cnytriathlon.org/winter-trainingfacility for a schedule of sessions. Remember, you can always modify a particular workout to meet
YOUR training needs. Please carry your bike across the snowy parking lot.
Our annual meeting/election will take place at Bella Domani on Thursday 2/17. Stop in around 6
for drinks and dinner around 6:30. Sometime after the elections, we'll host a panel discussion

composed of an orthopedic surgeon, a couple chiropractors, a massage therapist, an exercise
physiologist, and a physical therapist. This promises to be a very educational session. When do you
see this one? What can that one do for you? Please send your check for $13 payable to CNY
Triathlon Club by Friday Feb. 4 to:

Coaching Corner
Question from Kay - I have been dealing with both back and hip pain. Are there certain
exercises that I can perform to help control these issues.
Yes!!! Often hip and back issues are related to some type of structural alignment, or
muscle imbalance. So, step one, is to have the hips and lumbar spine evaluated by a
chiropractor to determine if any subluxations or pelvic malalignment syndrome has
occurred. Second, use specific exercises to control weaknesses that invariably are
attributed to athletes participating in multi-sport. Traditionally because of the bike
position, certain muscles become deficient, including the inner and outer thigh, certain
muscles of the buttocks and low back.
The following exercises are basic and beneficial for multi-sport athletes. The final exercise
looks simple, but is slightly more challenging.
Single Leg Squat: Stand and balance on one leg. Extend arms in
front, drop pelvis backward, focus on keeping knee behind toes of
supporting foot and try to touch unweighted knee to the ankle of
the supported ankle. Great exercise for the hips and inner thigh.
Supine Double Leg Bridge with Leg Raise:
Lie on back with knees bent. Drive the hips
up high to feel the high buttocks and low
back muscles contract. Lift one leg, keeping
the knees side-by-side. Hold the body linear
and keep the hips even.
Straight Arm Oblique: Balance the body on the hand and outside of staggered feet. Raise
the hips as high as possible. Then, allow the hips to lower to the ground. A great exercise
for the obliques and low back muscles.
Page 8 of 14
Side Plank Leg Lift:
Balance the body on
the hand and the
outside of the bottom
leg. Lift the top leg to
contract the outer
thigh. Great core training! Works the outer thigh, arm, and midsection.

Member Profile
February 2011 CNY Triathlon Club-Member Profile
Name: Keisuke Inoue
Tell us about yourself: I am currently a PhD student at the School of
Information Studies, Syracuse University. Before coming to the US, I was
a software engineer in Tokyo. I came to SU for a Master's degree in
Computer Science, proceeded to get Master's in Linguistics, and then
became a PhD student. I like being in a multi-disciplinary field, both
academically and athletically.
How long have you been involved in Triathlon and what made you
take it up? I started doing triathlons in 1997, when I was working in
Tokyo. I watched Ironman on TV when I was really small, when the races
were self-organized and the names of all the finishers were called at the
award ceremony. I was very intrigued, but I was not an athletic kid (I
was actually the heaviest kid in the elementary school back then.) After I graduated from college
and started working, I started going to a sport club, and started doing spinning. I was running
Page 10 of 14
casually at that point, so I thought I would be able to do triathlon, if I could learn how to swim. I
could not swim at all until then. I did one race in Japan, but since then all the races I have done
were in the US.
Who is your Hero? Sam Sampere... seriously, I say all the triathletes are my heroes! We all have
different stories, goals and achievements, and they are all unique and incomparable. It always
motivates me / makes me happy to hear fellow triathletes' stories.
What is your athletic background? When I was in college, I was in the
University's rifle shooting team. The sport is almost the complete opposite
of triathlon... it is about how much you can control your body not to move
(rather than how much you can move). It is a great sport, but was not for
me.
What are your Triathlon strengths and weaknesses? In terms of the three
disciplines of the sport, running is my strength and swimming is my
weakness. My biking is becoming better. But my real weakness is probably
wine, beer and sake.
What was your first triathlon and what do you remember most? My first
race was a sprint distance triathlon using a pool, but I had to take breaks several times, holding
onto buoys! I drank a lot of water during the swim, but after getting out of the pool, there was a
bunch of people handing out water and I felt I had to take the water in order to be a true
triathlete. Gulping the water was the toughest part of the race!
What is your favorite race and why?
Ironman Lake Placid and Cazenovia Lake Triathlon because in both races, I can see friends and
familiar faces during the race.
What was your worst race and why? In 2004, I forgot to bring energy bars for Ironman Lake
Placid. I bonked hard, rain was pouring down and the temperature was dropping. During the race,
I left my bike with some person watching the race, went to my car in the parking lot and grabbed a
rain jacket. Many people were running with the silver emergency blankets and purple lips.
What are this year's goals? No injuries and PR at Ironman Lake
Placid IMLP. Oh, more importantly, finish school and get a real job.
In five years you hope to ... : Get married and have kids... many of
my friends have kids now and I am super jealous. I love watching
kids tris, too.
Something most people don't know about you: I started Syracuse
University Triathlon Club in 2003, but struggled to grow the club,
because we did not have organized collegiate triathlon
competitions. I worked with a few people from other Universities
and started the Northeast Collegiate Triathlon Conference (NECTC)
in 2005. Today, the NECTC includes about 200 students and 12
schools, which makes it one of the most developed collegiate
conferences in the U.S.
