EXPLOSIVELY EFFECTIVEWHAT MAKES PLYOMETRICS SUCH AN EXCITING AND ENHANCING TRAINING PROGRAM BY SAUL ANTHONY SIBAYAN

*THE STUDY IS ENTITLED “ECCENTRIC MUSCLE CONTR AC TIONS: THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO INJURY, PRE VENTION, REHABILITATION, AND SPORT.”

Jump training, or plyometrics, is a high-intensity routine involving explosive movements to promote power and strength. However, you cannot simply jump up and down and expect to be powerful. When done incorrectly, plyometrics may cause more harm than good because of its intense nature. Proper landing (for lower body exercises) and catching (for upper body exercises) is very important in plyometrics. That being said, plyometrics offers a number of benefits for the active athlete. Not only does it promote power, it can also reduce the chances of injury. When you land softly, it promotes eccentric contractions. Such movements use muscles to act like springs or shock absorbers. Indeed, a 2003 study which appeared in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, reported that an eccentric-resistance exercise protocol not only plays a part in the enhancement of high-power sport activities, it is also instrumental in the prevention and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries and other bone and muscle impairments. Several studies have also found plyometrics to produce a positive effect on the biomechanics of the lower extremities. Combining plyometrics with balance training is also recommended to make the most out of the pre-season training of female athletes. Can plyometrics help you get better in endurance sports? Running and jumping are similar in some respects. They both have a push-off and flight phase. Surging needs more powerful movements. With a progressive plyometric program, you will not only improve your

power, but enhance the quality of your movements. Do you have what it takes to make the leap? Consult with a

health and fitness professional before making the jump to plyometrics.

WEIGHT TRAINING FOR KIDS With proper adult supervision, resistance

exercises can be good for children

Is it safe to engage children in resistance exercises? Sports professionals think so. In 2009, the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) published a position statement in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research noting the benefits of a properly designed and supervised resistance training program for the youth. Not only is such a program relatively safe for the young, it can enhance their muscular strength and power, improve their cardiovascular risk profile, enhance their motor skill performance, and increase their resistance to sports-related injuries. Engaging in resistance exercises will help them develop good lifestyle habits, and could even improve their psychosocial well-being. It must be emphasized, however, that resistance training for teens and children must be supervised by qualified professionals who should provide safety guidelines and proper lifting instructions, stated Dr. Avery Faigenbaum in “Resistance Training Among Young Athletes: Safety, Efficacy, and Injury Prevention Effects,” which appeared in the British Journal of Sports Medicine last 2010.

With a progressive plyometric program, you will not only increase your power, but enhance the quality of your movements.

SBR AR ICONIronman Malaysia is done and dusted. Kudos to those who completed the race. No doubt, fast finishers were the strong and fit athletes. Those who were involved in accidents before and

during the race, those who were sick, those who experienced painful cramps but didn’t give up and completed the race were the most admirable. After all, completing the Iron distance race at all costs is the true spirit of an Ironman. Most athletes only focused on training and performing well on race day. But actually, the recovery phase is as important as the training phase. If we don’t recover well today, we won’t be able to push the body on the following training days. That’s the training life cycle. There are many ways to speed up the recovery process. Dynamic rest (exercise with low intensity) is always better than static rest (being sedentary). Continue to move to disperse muscles soreness. Stretching is important too. Eat healthy food with a 3:1 ratio of carbs and protein, and drink a lot of water. Ice bath and compression apparels can reduce DOMS for less muscle swelling and soreness. Recover well today for a better tomorrow.

EXPERT ADVICEOUR PANEL OF EXPERTS ANSWERS YOUR MOST PRESSING TRIATHLON DILEMMA S

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I JOIN A TRIATHLON RACE?It depends on the athlete’s fitness level, experience, and number of years racing. Short races like sprints or Olympic distance triathlons require lesser training time and athletes can recover within a week after the race. Iron distance triathlon is a different ball game. You are pushing physically and mentally to reach your goals and that can be energy draining. On average, an Iron distance triathlete will take one month off before he starts with structure training again. Preparing for an Iron distance race will take another three to six months. This means a reasonably fit triathlete can race two or even three Iron distance races a year as long as he enjoys the training. He’ll need the support of his family, his work colleagues, and his bank account too.—richard tang, sbrmy community editor

WHAT ARE THE DO’S AND DON’TS AFTER A RACE?As you train in the lead up to the big race, your brain releases two powerful chemicals, serotonin and norepinephrine. Your brain becomes accustomed to increased levels of these neurotransmitters when you train frequently and consistently. Depression is caused by low levels of serotonin and norepinephrine. When you take a break from training or racing, your brain will stop receiving these chemicals. This causes a depression-like state.

Set aside your triathlon dilemma as these experts will help you figure things out.

ON AVERAGE, AN IRON DISTANCE TRIATHLETE WILL TAKE ONE MONTH

OFF BEFORE HE STARTS WITH STRUCTURE TRAINING AGAIN.

In addition, our bodies produce neurotransmitters called endorphins when we exercise. That euphoric feeling you get when you exercise is created by these feel-good chemicals. When you stop training, your brain no longer receives these feel-good chemicals either. If this is how they body responds to the culmination of a training period or after racing, what should we do? Here are some do’s and don’ts:➜ Don’t go for fatty foods. The chemicals found

in fatty foods will only serve to increase your feeling of depression.

➜ Do celebrate with a beer but don’t drink too much alchohol or too often. As in fatty foods, the chemicals in alcohol may improve your mood for the moment, but will make the depression worse in the long run.

➜ Do exercise regularly. Take note: do exercise; don’t train. Help your brain get the neurochemicals it’s used to by exercising. Your body needs a break, so focus on easy activities and do them lightly.

➜ Do reflect on and celebrate your accomplishments. This will help improve your mood, and remind you why you train so hard in the first place.

➜ Do catch up on time with family and friends. Engaging with other people can help release similar neurochemicals that can help replace the ones you’re missing out on by not exercising as much .

STEP IT UP!

BY DR. GAR EUFEMIO

Runners are advised to follow a certain schedule as they approach a big race: long- and short-run days, cross-training and recovery days, and extra emphasis on stretching and nutrition. For shorter categories like 5k, 10k, and even 21k, a quicker tempo is the main goal. Cardiovascular-wise, you are ready. But the question is, can you do something to shave precious seconds off your personal best? The key is in improving explosiveness. Think about it. If you maintain a fixed number of steps per minute, increasing your stride length will make you cover more distance in the same

amount of time. The two body

parts that

you need to work on are the knee extensors and the

ankle plantar-flexors (the muscle that makes your foot and toes

point down). Stronger quadriceps make you

reach and stretch just a little bit further before your front foot hits the ground. Powerful calves allow you to propel your body more forcefully as you push off. So spend more time in the gym. Work with free weights and suspension cables. Focus on high repetitions with emphasis on quick and intense bursts.

Dr. Edgar Michael Eufemio is president of the Philippine Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine. He is also the vice president of the ASEAN Society for

Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy.


WHILE IT WOULD BE NICE TO CELEBRATE A WIN RIGHT AFTER THE

EVENT, DRINKING ALCOHOL CAN AFFECT MUSCLES IN THE CELLULAR LEVEL.

NUTRITION & DIETEATING RIGHT • MAINTAINING A HEALTHY BODY • RECIPES • LOADING UP • HYDRATION

Many techniques have been suggested in order to achieve fast and proper recovery. One of these is to ingest food and fluids within 30 minutes after exercise. You must be careful, however, about the type of food and fluid you take. While it would be nice to celebrate a win right after the event, drinking alcohol can affect muscles in the cellular level. A recent study published at PLOS One, a peer-reviewed open journal,

found that the effect of alcohol ingestion goes down to the myofibrillar level. Myofibril is the basic unit of the muscle that contains proteins and thin (actin) and thick (myosin) filaments. These filaments slide against each other producing the muscular contractions responsible for movement. In the study, eight physically active males completed three trials which consisted of resistance exercise, continuous exercise, and high intensity interval cycling. The subjects consumed either a 500ml whey protein shake, alcohol with protein, or alcohol with carbohydrates right

after and four hours after exercise. They also consumed a carbohydrate-rich meal two hours after exercise. Muscle biopsies were taken two and eight hours after exercise. Results showed that there is a reduction of myofibrillar protein synthesis on those who ingested alcohol-protein and alcohol-carbohydrate beverages as compared to those who took the whey protein shake. The researchers concluded that alcohol intake suppresses the constructive metabolic response of skeletal muscle which may not only impair recovery, but adaptation to training as well.

LAY OFF THE BOOZE

ALCOHOL INTAKE AFTER A BIG RACE SUPPRESSES THE CONSTRUCTIVE METABOLIC

RESPONSE OF SKELETAL MUSCLE WHICH MAY NOT ONLY IMPAIR RECOVERY, BUT

ADAPTATION TO TRAINING AS WELL.

HOW TO AVOID A

With the holiday season upon us, you will likely be going to one get-together after another, drinking a good amount of alcohol along the way. While alcohol contributes to a celebration’s general sense of merriment, it may result in an unfortunate episode of hangover the next day. How to avoid one? Here are some tips:

✔Drink water! Dehydration is one

of the main causes of a hangover.

✔Pace yourself. Have at least a

glass of water for each serving of alcohol.

✔Take your time. This gives

your body more time to absorb and metabolize the alcohol, decreasing its effects on your brain and other tissues.

✔Know your limits.

✔Steer clear of people who give

you hard time when you don’t drink as much as they do.

✔ Never drink and drive.

DRINKING ALCOHOL MAY HELP YOU RELAX, BUT IT WON’T HELP YOU RECOVER ANY SOONER BY SAUL ANTHONY SIBAYAN

STRENGTH & CONDITIONINGFLEXIBILITY • STRENGTH AND CORE EXERCISES • RUNNING DRILLS

WORK THE HIP!HERE’S AN AWESOME MOVE TO MOBILIZE YOUR HIP FOR MORE POWER AND STRENGTH BY SAUL ANTHONY SIBAYAN

The muscles in front of your hip are responsible for bringing your legs towards your body. This is called the hip flexion. These muscles can easily become tight because of everyday activities like sitting for long periods of time or biking. If your core is not stable, it could also lead to the tightening

of the psoas muscle, which can, in turn, lead to lower back pain. These may be why you’re having a hard time performing the squat exercise with good form. Avoid tightening of these muscles by mobilizing your hips for more strength and power through the half-kneel flexor stretch.

ARE YOU OVERDOING IT?Are you spreading yourself too thin in terms of training? Watch out for these signs!

› Unexplained and persistently poor performance

› Prolonged recovery from usual training sessions or competitions

› Disturbed mood states characterized by fatigue, apathy, irritability, depression, and loss of motivation

› Elevated resting heart rate› Increased vulnerability

to upper respiratory tract infections

› Gastrointestinal disturbances

› Sleep difficulties› Persistent feeling of

soreness and stiffness› Loss of appetite, weight loss,

and inability to maintain proper body weight for competition

› Development of overuse injuries

ARE YOU FEELING ANY OF THESE? If you have a pre-existing medical condition, suffering from environmental stress and psychological pressure, and not eating properly, then it will only increase your risk of developing the overtraining syndrome. An imbalance between training and recovery leads to this condition. Always remember to train smart!

HERE’S HOW TO DO IT:

STEP 1 Place something soft (like a pillow, folded mat, or an airex pad) on the ground. Put your right knee on the ground under your hip. Make sure your right foot is bent with your toes relaxed on the ground. Put your left foot in front of you with your left leg bent around 90 degrees and your foot flat on the floor. Inhale.

STEP 2 Keep your chest out. Slightly press your right knee to the ground and simultaneously raise your arms over your head while slowly bringing your hips forward. Always maintain an upright posture. Exhale and hold the stretch for one to two seconds.

NOTE: You should feel the stretch at the front of your hip and upper thigh. Do this for 5 to 10 repetitions. Do the same for your other leg.

STAY IN GOOD FORMHERE’S HOW:

Tighten your core. Squeeze the gluteal muscles of the leg with your knee on the ground while slightly leaning forward.

Maintain this posture by shifting your entire body slightly forward.

Avoid unnecessary arching of your lower back.

T aking a break during the off-season is perfectly fine as it gives your mind and body a much-

needed reprieve. It’s also the perfect time to focus on certain aspects of the sport that you may have overlooked during the race season. Here are some of them:

Take a physical and mental breakAllow your body to recover and your mind to de-stress. You can still do some running, swimming, or biking, but keep it fun and unstructured. Chill out. Do something totally different. Take this opportunity to just stop. Stop, have a break, and make the most of it!

Concentrate on techniqueOnce you start training, keep it easy. Focus on enhancing your techniques. Get your swim coach to film your stroke. Concentrate on pedalling circles while on the bike. If your bike is uncomfortable, then this is the best time to get a new one or ask your coach to look at your riding position. You’ll have

the time to adjust to any changes. Do some running drills to improve turnover and minimize the time your foot is on the ground.

Don’t be the club ride champion in FebruaryI have no idea where I heard this quote but I like it. Every time someone tells me about a great set of repeats or some crazy ride done at an incredible pace during the off-season, I use this quote. The likelihood that this athlete can maintain this sort of effort throughout the year is not very good. Training takes effort, it causes pain and it wears on you. Save that energy for when it counts later in the season. Being fit in January doesn’t mean that you will be that much fitter by summer. The more likely scenario is low performance or injury during the summer due to overtraining and getting mentally drained from all the high intensity workout.

Join the F4L Training CampThis will help you keep motivated when the weather is not so good. The F4L Triathlon Coaching Camp is also an opportunity to have some

specific time to train and focus on the things you need to work on. Your coaches will enable you to get the most out of the camp.

Work on your weaknessIf swimming is your weak sport, then focus on technique improvements, rather than clocking up 3,000 meters five times a week. If you swim 15,000 meters a week with a bad technique, then you’re only cementing that bad technique into your muscle memory, making it much harder to fix. If running is your weakness, focus on your technique and do some drills. Opt for a half marathon as a full one for inexperienced runners is very difficult. It can take you a month to recover, draining the energy you need for the triathlon racing season. If the bike is your weakness, it’s either you lack experience or your bike doesn’t fit right. Get a good fit at your local bike shop or ask a qualified coach to take a look at your riding position. You can either get on your turbo trainer or go outside, if the weather permits. Get a consistent amount of aerobic

riding during the off-season. Getting on a turbo trainer can be entertaining with constructive sessions, especially for runners and swimmers. Make that commitment and you will be glad you did when triathlon season comes around.

Engage in strength and conditioning trainingAs triathletes, we like to think of ourselves as very fit individuals. We run, bike, swim. We do it all! Still, we find ourselves getting sore when we play tennis or do yard work, especially as we get older. Strength training will help us fortify muscles that we don’t generally use in triathlon. It’s advisable to do strength training all-year round. If you can’t find the time, then take advantage of the off-season to get back to your strengthening program. It will improve your power, and help with injury prevention. Work with body weights and a gym ball. All of my athletes go through a strength and conditioning program during the off-season. What you do now will pay off in the 2015 season. Enjoy!

If running is your weakness, focus on your technique and do some drills. Opt for a

half marathon as a full one for inexperienced runners is generally very difficult.

LIFE ON THE FAST LANE

“I train for about 4 to 5 hours in the morning and I add another 2 hours of

training at night for a total of

7 hours a day.”

Following his father’s footsteps, Dhia Danial Mohd Khairi took the pedal to become one of the most exciting cyclists in Malaysia today. Here, the 18-year-old talks about his life on the fast lane.

Why did you get into cycling? What’s your primary motivation?I’ve been cycling for about five years now, and it’s because of my father. He was an ex-cyclist for Malaysia and he motivates me to move forward and push myself for my own good. My main motivation is basically my father, ex-Malaysian cyclist Mohd Khairi B. Kutupdin, and my Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) coaches.

What is your most memorable race?The most memorable race for me is when I won second for Scratch Race, third for PLN Track Race, Cheras and in 2012, I won third place for team category in Road Race Sukma Games (Sukan Malaysia).

How many hours do you train every day?I train for about 4 to 5 hours in the morning and I add another 2 hours of training at night for a total of 7 hours a day.

What is your favorite Bianchi Bike?My favorite Bianchi bike is the Oltre XR. It is different from the others in terms of its performance in climbing, sprinting, and on the flat road. It is stiffer, tougher, and its geometry makes it light in weight and easier to carry around.

How has cycling changed your life?Cycling has changed my life tremendously. It is like my dream come true. Before I started cycling, I was nothing. But now I can say that I am pretty well-known especially in the cycling world. The best part of it is the exposure that I get from cycling all around Malaysia.

RACTIVE EDITION TO SEE MORE BIANCHI BIKES


Mohd Khairi B. Kutupdin, the owner of Bianchi Malaysia, is proud to introduce the 2015 Bianchi Bike Collection. Here, he shares with us some of the exciting features that the new collection offers.

Tell us about the 2015 Bianchi Bike Collection. For the 2015 Bianchi Bike Collection, we introduce newly improved, high-end model bicycles.

Your hero model for 2015 is the Oltre XR2-TB. What makes it a cut above the rest?The Oltre XR2 can be considered as the perfect frame. It is light in weight, aerodynamic. It is a carbon tubular bicycle. It uses the carbon that NASA usually uses.

When will it be available in Malaysia? The bike will be available in Malaysia this January 2015. Actually, there are not a lot of differences between the 2014 and the 2015 Oltre XR in terms of performance as it is the best among the rest.

However, Bianchi did make some changes in terms of the color of the bike in order to beautify it. It makes it more appealing and modern.

Where will it be available?In the Klang Valley area, we have Cyfora Worx, which is the only

Bianchi’s boutique in Malaysia. We also have dealers such as

Jiwa Basikal. You can also be sure that the 2015

Bianchi Collection will be available at our main hub here in Kajang.

Bianchi is one of the most popular

bike brands in Malaysia. What makes

Bianchi different? From my past experience as a cyclist, the perfect geometry of the bike is pivotal. The reason why I chose to distribute Bianchi is because it has a proven track record for almost 130 years now. Its bikes are well-controlled in terms of production and specification in order to make sure that they are always of high quality.

Bianchi is a well-established brand in Malaysia. Because of the branding that they have here, people choose Bianchi. It comes from Italy, a place known for its high quality stuff. Customers choose Bianchi because of these two factors: branding and Italian-made.

What tips can you give consumers who are shopping for bikes?This is simple: they need to look at the frame and choose the best frame for their bike. Bianchi promises the best of them all.

What is Bianchi’s commitment to its customers?We take into account not just the quality of our products, but also our relationship with our customers. This is one of the many reasons why we

decided to have monthly activities for our customers. This is to

ensure that the relationship that we have with our

customers not just ends once they’ve bought

our products.

PROFILE

Last September, Choo Wooi Sing won a free slot to Ironman Malaysia through a contest sponsored by Swim Bike Run Malaysia. Here, he talks about how he survived his first full Ironman race.

What were your expectations? How was your experience?When I first met Ironman Richard Tang at the Penang Urban Triathlon in mid-June, he advised about how we could estimate the Ironman finishing time from Half Ironman timing. From my previous Putrajaya 70.3 result, I should be able to finish in 13 to 14 hours. But as a first-timer to attempt a full distance Ironman, I knew it would probably be best to just set my sights on the finish line and let the time take care of itself. I tried to be as comfortable as possible to survive my first long course open water swim. It was a great swim. The sea was calm. Everything went smoothly. The transition to the bike is the most important part as it took almost half of my total race time. My initial plan was to ride within my abilities for the 180km, but I became overexcited when I jumped on my bike. Before I could finish the first 90km, my P

quads had started screaming. I knew I had to slow down for the rest of the ride to save my legs so that I could run near what I am able to do in a marathon. I started the run easy and focused on my body condition so that I could finish with a smile.

What was your training regimen like? How many hours did you spend on training and recovery?From May to September, I clocked an average of 17 hours on a weekly basis. Breaking it into weekly average mileage, the swim is around 6km, bike 145km, and run 30km. My training basically relied on aerobic endurance of physical fitness, and “coordination, balance, speed” training to stack up fitness level on a step by step basis. On the recovery side, every day I had enough resting time and at least one total off day a week.

What steps did you take to prevent injury?In addition to training, we need to “listen to the voice of our body” or “feel our body’s feedback.” The weekly rest day may be extended to more days if needed.

After each hard training session, our muscle needs to relax by doing immediate stretching and deep muscle massage. Without relaxing our body, we will not able to take up the training volume. This may eventually lead to overtraining injury.

What’s next for you after Ironman Malaysia? What are your plans for next year?I felt so much lacking in IM Malaysia when [I was] pushed to another level of fitness. Definitely, my swimming skills, biking ability, running dynamics, and muscle strength need to be trained to make myself a better triathlete. Next year, I will focus on self improvement. I maybe back to Putrajaya 70.3 and Langkawi to gauge myself for any improvements on my fitness level. I am also looking forward to any opportunity to gain overseas race experience in the near future.

What are your tips for first-timers?Keep on training and resting. Stay dedicated. Nothing is going to happen overnight. On race day, believe in all your training clocked.

HAVE A STRAVA!FIND OUT WHY THIS GPS RUNNING AND CYCLING APP HAS BECOME A MUST-HAVE AMONG ENTHUSIASTIC ATHLETES BY ARLAND MACASIEB“Uh oh. Victor Espiritu just stole your KOM.” If you are a regular on Strava, then receiving messages like this is all too common. Developed in the United States, Strava is a running and cycling app that uses GPS and divides bike rides and runs into “segments.” Hill segments are usually contested, and the fastest athlete up the hill is deemed “KOM” or “QOM” refers to King of the Mountain or Queen of the Mountain, as the case maybe. Athletes have come to love Strava for a number of reasons:

n STRAVA WORKS AS A GPS FOR BIKERS using smart phones to track their ride. Strava has a record of everyone who has ever ridden or ran a route with a GPS. Because of its large database, Strava can estimate your power output for a particular segment. Note: For rides more than two hours, where the phone’s battery life becomes an issue, most riders use a GPS-enabled cycling

computer or triathlon watch to record their rides then upload to Strava afterwards.

n STRAVA RECORDS EVERYTHING, from your performance on flat roads and well-trodden courses to running events. With Strava, you can compare yourself to everyone who has ever ridden that same course or segment. You can also keep track of races you have done in the past, so you can “compare yourself to yourself”. You can also use it to track your personal best times.

n STRAVA HAS CLUBS SO YOU CAN COMPARE YOUR EFFORTS to that of your teammates and friends. Instead of comparing yourself to the pros, you can have bragging rights among your buddies.

n STRAVA GIVES OUT MONTHLY CHALLENGES like ride 300 kilometers or climb 10,000 feet in one week. If you

complete the challenges, you are eligible to purchase bike jerseys to commemorate your accomplishment.

Overall, Strava is a fun app that can be used as a training tool too. It’s like Facebook for athletes where you can give a friend a thumbs up for a particularly good workout. Indeed, when Lance Armstrong went in hiding during his drug scandal, he was still in Strava under the alias Juan Pelota. In fact, many professional cyclists and triathletes post their workouts on Strava. It’s pretty cool to see how fast these guys are day to day. Don’t be too enthusiastic though. Don’t go chasing KOMs or trying to reclaim lost KOMs. Some riders have gotten into accidents as they chased after KOMs. Incidences of Strava-doping, where athletes use remote control cars, motorcycles, or cars to claim KOMs, have also been reported. Have fun with the app, but save your best efforts for the actual race!

IRONMAN MALAYSIALANGKAWI MALAYSIA • 24-28 SEPTEMBER 2014Some 1,397 athletes from 58 countries exceeded themselves and conquered the heat and humidity during the Ironman Malaysia held in Langkawi. PRO athletes Diana Riesler from Germany and Patrik Nilsson from Sweden emerged as the top winners. The event started with a 3.8km swim. Dylan Mcneice of New Zealand was the first to get out of the water, starting the bike phase with an 80-second lead over Ben Sanson from France. Nilsson and Luke Bell of Australia rode with Cameron Brown of New Zealand and Fredrick Croneborg of Sweden. Nilsson proved to be amazing on the bike as he was just 10 seconds behind McNeice. A stuck chain, however, forced him to stop

and seek the help of mechanics. Not ready to give up, he was back on the race soon enough, but Timothy “Gun Biker” of Australia came out of nowhere and took the lead. Croneborg and Karol Dzalaj of Slovakia took the conservative route and steadily approached the lead. Nilsson eventually emerged triumphant with Croneborg taking second place and Dzalaj, third. It was a tough race, said Nilsson, but he kept reminding himself to stay cool. In the women’s event, Riesler powered through the race after the swim. She was followed by Japan’s Keiko Tanaka and Australia’s Dimity-Lee Duke. Two Malaysians made the country proud. The first Malaysian man to cross the line was Mohd Amran Ghani with an

impressive time of 10:14:54. It was the firefighter’s first Ironman; he ranked 20th overall. Lini Kazim was the first Malaysian female athlete to finish the race with an impressive time of 14:25:23. Malaysia’s Yee Sze Mun, 77, the oldest participant, also managed to finish the race. He is the only athlete who have taken part in all 11 Ironman Malaysia events.
