If - you , don't I remember it by name, : perhaps your memory needs i to be jogged slightly. The Iron Man Triathalon is that swimmingbicycling running race held in Hawaii every year. You know,-tne one where the contestants start the race by swimming 1.2 miles out into the . tidal Pacific Ocean and then turn around and swim back to the shore. And instead of lying on the beachior the rest of the day (like , most (Of us would do) they jump on a bike and begin a 112-mile trek in 100 degree weather. The third leg of the race is the marathon,; ."weedepV-.!. segment, that finishes off the less-prepared before they ' finish the 26.2 miles. Remember yet? Come on, it is the race that is billed as the "ultimate in human endurance." en-durance." Well, if you cannot remember seeing it or you are confusing it with the Pro Bowlers Tour, there is a man in Park City who would like to tell you a little about the Triathalon and why the term "Iron Man" truly applies to Grudge match? If there's no bad blood now, just give it a week. What is being billed by the Park City ChamberBureau Cham-berBureau as THE basketball tournament of the year will match the Park City High School seniors against the school's faculty and the Park City Rotary Club against the ChamberBureau. "The news is the Rotary and the Chamber are both bringing in ringers for it," said High School Principal Jack Dozier. "We're planning a few scenarios too ... We're hoping to make some money off it, and have some fun doing it." Dozier explained that the tournament was suggested as a way to raise money for the school yearbook, which went over budget last year. "We've got to try to correct the deficit without using student funds," he said. "This is sure to be a challenging sporting event, as the ChamberBureau team is rumored to be pulling in some ringers from the Utah Jazz," says a press release from the ChamberBureau. The tournament is scheduled to be held Wednesday, March 2 at the high school gym. Round One, the seniors against the faculty, is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. Round Two, the Chamber vs. the Rotary, will begin about 8 p.m. Tickets for the event are $3 for adults, $2 for students. this contemporary endurance enduran-ce race. The man is Jeff Jones, a Park City Ski Area employee and avthree timei-Hawait triatnaloner. Jones is having a clinic on March 2 from 7 to' 10 p.m. at the Memorial Building. At the clinic Jones will show a film of the latest Hawaii triathalon last October, Oc-tober, in which Jeff finished 15th with a time of 10 hours, 20 minutes. Jones will also demonstrate demon-strate some of the techniques for training for a triathalon. "A triathalon is different because it combines three different sports," said Jones. "A person has to know how to pace himself in each sport and how to join them all together in one race." Jones was quick to say that, although he has raced in triathalons, he is not some sort of masochistic superman. super-man. And the other triathaloners are not either. He said they are athletes who train scientifically. Jones, when training for a triathalon, usually runs about 60 miles a week, cycles 250 miles, and swims about five miles. - i He participates in about 10 ; triathalons a year. Not all are the stature and distance of the one in Hawaii. Some are so-called "Tin Man" triathalons, which are shorter short-er and easier. The Tin Man triathalons' distances are often of-ten one mile swimming, 40 miles cycling, and 13 miles running. The Deer Creek Triathalon in Wasatch County is a Tin Man triathalon, according to Jones. He said that that would be a good beginning for someone just getting interested in-terested in the sport. "Everyone doesn't have the time or the effort for a Hawaii triathalon. However, someone could train for a shorter race in their spare time. "I think that the benefits of a multi-sport fitness program are many, and I would like to see some people get interested." Big kids don't bother Jason Parian Z ' !-.U9l Bmo u enjoy fine dining See our Li Wstaurant 1 uuiae PageBS Those bigger kids don't seem to bother Jason Parkin. Parkin, a nine-year-old member of the Park City Ski Team, has been dominating the competition in his age group (JV) all season. So Sunday Coach Dick S toner decided to move him up to JTV (10- and 11-year-old) to find him some tougher competition. com-petition. "It's time to give someone else a chance to win," Stoner said. It made little difference. Parkin still won, by an impressive im-pressive two-second margin, over boys that were as much as two years older than himself him-self in a slalom race held Sunday at Nordic Valley. Other Park City trophy winners at Nordic Valley included in-cluded Shannon Nobis (two firsts among the JIV girls), Heather Circo (two seconds among the JV girls) and Timber Moreland (two thirds among the JV girls). Stoner said that Circo has been showing continuous improvement all season. "She was within a tenth of a second of some of our JIV girls." Meanwhile, many of the older members of the Park City Ski Team were in Kelly Canyon, Idaho, competing in a Junior Olympic-qualifying slalom for JII (14- and 15-year-old) and JIII (12- and 13-year-old) racers. One of the top performances of the weekend came from Nickl Koch, who finished first sun-day sun-day after failing to complete the course Saturday. Coach Patti Formichelli said that strong efforts also cme from Bret Johnson, Jeremy Nobis, Jere Calmes, Stephanie Palmer and Erin Calmes. This weekend's schedule calls for the JII and JIII racers to compete in giant slalom at the Park City Ski Area. Races are scheduled to begin Saturday and Sunday Sun-day on Ladies G.S. Formichelli said that the Junior Olympic teams would probably be named following Sunday's race. "We have a real good chance of putting a tot of skiers on there," she said. mfniiniiijjM.il. |
