Age Grouper of the Week
Jim Boldra sent through this weeks age grouper, here\\u2019s his email:
I would like to nominate an age grouper of the week from IM Wisconsin.\\xa0 The athlete is Wendy Heldt from Appleton , Wisconsin .\\xa0 Wendy did her first IM at IM Wisconsin last week.\\xa0She won the Female 50-54 age group in a time of 11:55:53 .\\xa0 She swam 1:15:23 , biked 6:03:04 , and ran 4:27:31. This effort qualified her for Hawaii in her first attempt, and just missed setting the Female 50-54 course record by only 2 seconds.\\xa0 Wendy is a very dedicated athlete that I have been coaching for the past two years.\\xa0 She is looking forward to her first attempt at Kona in 2008.\\xa0Keep up the good work.\\xa0Jim Boldra

Coach\\u2019s Corners
Catching waves when racing/training -- the key is to catch the wave just as it\\u2019s starting to spill
Look under your breathing arm when you are coming into the wave zone to look for waves
As the wave is almost on you (ie starting to lift) pick up pace to hard
Keep swimming hard and take a big breath until you start to fall down the front of the wave
Once you are on the wave keep your body as tall and stiff as possible.
If you need to take a breath do a stroke with one arm (breathing to the side, not the front)
Keep your face down in the water (keeps hips up)
As you start to slow bring your kick back in followed by 1 arm swimming, try to stay on the wave as long as possible
