Jay Dicharry offered some fantastic knowledge in this interview. He is an expert in many things and also an author. His website describes him better than I could:
"Originally from New Orleans LA, Jay completed the Masters of Physical Therapy degree at Louisiana State University Medical Center and is a Board- Certified Sports Clinical Specialist. Jay built his international reputation as an expert in biomechanical analysis as Director of the SPEED Clinic at the University of Virginia. Through this innovative venture, Jay was able to blend the fields of clinical practice and engineering to better understand and eliminate the cause of overuse injuries in endurance athletes. His unique approach goes outside the traditional model of therapy and aims to correct imbalances before they affect your performance. Jay literally wrote the book on running gait assessments: he is author of “Anatomy for Runners”, writes columns for numerous magazines, and has published over a dozen professional journal articles and three book chapters. Jay has had an active research career, and consults for numerous footwear companies, the US Air Force and USA Track and Field. His research focus on footwear and the causative factors driving overuse injury continues at Rebound, and he’ll provide its patients with an unmatched level of innovation and success. Having taught in the Sports Medicine program at UVA, he brings a strong bias towards patient education, and continues to teach nationally to elevate the standard of care for Therapists, Physicians, and Coaches working with endurance athletes. In addition to his clinical distinction, Jay is a certified coach through both the United States Track and Field Association and the United States Cycling Federation, and a certified Golf Fitness Instructor through Titleist Performance Institute. He has a competitive history in swimming, triathlon, cycling, and running events on both the local and national level, and has coached athletes from local standouts to national medalists. He is excited to share this passion with the team at Rebound, and explore the Pacific Northwest with his family on knobbies, skis, boards, and soles."

Wes Hobson was one of the top triathletes of the 1990s. He turned pro in 1990 and retired in 2001. In his second year as a pro he was competing with and sometimes beating the Big Four: Mark Allen, Dave Scott, Scott Molina, and Mike Pigg. During his career he was named Triathlete of the Year by the United States Olympic Committee, won 35 races, and was the first American to win an ITU World Cup Triathlon.
He talked about transitioning into the sport from collegiate swimming to racing with the fastest triathletes in the world. Along the way he dealt with chronic fatigue and enduring a nine month period in 1997 in which he could barely train. This was preceded by an 8 week period of high volume and an absurd amount of high intensity training. In a period of 2-3 weeks he suddenly came out of it. He got coaching from Joe Friel and was a contender to qualify for the US Olympic team in 2000 but missed out.
He retired in 2001 but since then has kept busy with many different business pursuits, including
a very successful career in real estate in Boulder. He talks about that transition and how
continuously following his passion has led to success and fulfillment.

Elizabeth and Nate Sylves have been racing together as a couple for over a decade. This year she did her first Ironman (Florida) and he did his first half ironman (North Carolina). They combine training and racing with full time jobs while raising two young kids.
They started their season with the Duathlon National Championships in Bend, Oregon in June. Then Elizabeth did the Atlantic City 70.3 and in October Nate did Ironman North Carolina 70.3 and Elizabeth planned on doing Ironman North Carolina, but due to a hurricane that was changed to a shorter race. That change was announced a few days before the race so she immediately bought a charity slot for Ironman Florida and raced that two weeks later.
In addition to working full time outside the home, Elizabeth coaches triathletes and teaches fitness classes. Nate is a cameraman and works a non-standard schedule. Because of their differing schedules and child care they are rarely able to train together.
Elizabeth once weighed 200 pounds but made significant lifestyle changes. A few years ago she changed to a fat-adapted diet due to health issues and has stuck with it. her diet is 60% fat. She recently did her half-ironman while consuming just 400 calories.

Joe Friel returns to the show and discusses his revamped and just released Triathlete's Training Bible. This is the best selling triathlon book of all time, with roughly 300,000 books sold, and instead of just updating it he started from scratch and rewrote it.
We talk about the major revamps to the book. In addition to that we covered a wide range of topics. Near the end of the interview we talked about his career as he went from teacher to running store owner to triathlon store owner to coach to author.
Joe started his writing for the Fort Collins newspaper and his column ran every single week for 20 years from 1981 to 2001. He did not like writing when he started and now he has a passion for it. He wrote his first book, the Cyclist's Training Bible, and thought it might sell a few hundred copies total. It sold 1000 copies the first month and 5000 copies the second month and now he's written 16 books.
Joe is always a good listen so don't miss this episode. -
Colin Pugh had a dangerous case of hyponatremia that could have resulted in death. Hydration expert Andy Blow joins us to review his case. In Colin's words, here is what happened:
"On Aug 14th I did my first Half Ironman (Stealhead - Benton Harbor MI). I ran a pretty decent race and finished in a time of 5hrs 47 mins. After the race I was about a 3 hour drive from home in Milwaukee WI. I was over there on my own as my girlfriend was working that weekend. Based on the fact I couldn’t stand up without cramping I made the decision to hold up in a hotel for the night and make my way home on the Monday morning. I got to the hotel grabbed a shower and then started to become obsessed with the fact that I hadn't taken a pee all day and started taking on water (a lot of water!). This was quiet the mistake……..
I then remember only a few things. I remember walking across to the gas station to buy more water and being completely out of it in my mind like kind of drunk feeling. Then I went to bed and woke up at 11pm and proceeded to throw up all a lot of that water back up which wasn’t pretty.
I woke up the next day feeling really rough and text my girlfriend to say I’m not driving until I get kicked out of the hotel at Noon. Then the next thing I know is I’m at the breakfast table grabbing breakfast and all packed up and I had no idea how I got there. Then the last thing I remember on Monday morning was getting on to the highway at my intersection in Michigan and then the next recollection I had was waking up in the ICU on Wednesday morning in Chicago………….
What happened? It turns out that I must have had the sub conscious thought to get to the Emergency Room. Because when I crashed my car into a truck I was only 6 blocks away from the University of Illinois Chicago Medical Center in downtown Chicago. But I had managed to drive over 70 miles without remembering a thing and then passed out behind the wheel. When the cops came up on my accident they said they found me having a seizure in the driver’s seat and then proceeded to smash me out of my car and get medical help.
Then I got to the ER by ambulance and my girlfriend was calling my phone. The ER doctor answers the phone and tells her what they think is going on. My girlfriend is actually a doctor herself, she completely gets what the ER doc tells her and starts freaking out and gets in the car and starts driving the 1-2 hrs down to Chicago to be with me.
So what was going on? Typical human blood has 140-145 mol/liter of Sodium in it. Anything less than 120 mol/liter is classed as serve. On my first blood work when I got to the ER it was at 113 mol/liter and that’s why I kept having seizures. I had Hyponatremia where you drink too much tap water and in essence dilute your blood. I was then admitted to the ICU early Monday and over Monday/Tuesday given fluids and monitored closely until I woke up on Wednesday morning very confused. While I was out I wasn’t being very cooperative it seems……..I had to be tied down feet and hands to stop me from beating all the people up which wasn’t great for my girlfriend to see.
After waking up I had no idea what year it was, what had happened, where I had raced, who the president was.......nothing…….and that was very worrying. But I quickly started to get it all back come Thursday and Friday. I was then discharged from the ICU to home on Friday.
Quiet the experience that I need to get follow up appointments to completely figure out if I had a Kidney issue or if I just put myself in trouble by drinking so much water instead of something with electrolytes in it. In the meantime I’m back to work and doing fine, getting my car fixed up and taking it easy for a little while and deferring a few races that I was booked into for the rest of the season." - もっと表示する
