Kwame Wiafe Annoh B .6 Whitby athiete trai*ning hard for Hlawaii's fronman'competition By JAN DODGE Free Press Staff Some people want to ,make a million; some want to have their name in liglits; but Whitby resident, Richard Mc- Paul, dreams of corn- ..2 pleting the triathlon in 2 the Iromnan, World Championships in - 1 Hawaii next October.te tougliest tests of en- durance, tlie Ironnian consists o! tliree events: 1 a 2.4 mile swim, followed by 112 miles of cycling, opped off witli a 26.2 mile run. .1 Ail 1,250 contentants will begin the swim at 7 arn. on October 26 in Kona, Hawaii, and must 0. complete the tliree events by midniglit. Apart from the ohi- vious difficulties o! thie events, the location for Lthe Ironman presents its own special problems. The ocean swim lias ...2 waves and no lanes to keep contestants swimming straiglit. Winds as higli as 55 m.p.h., lilly terrain, 3. and a road built on a black lava field, which may elevate tem- ...3 peratures that normally liover between 80 to 85 degrees F to a blistering 100 degrees F, may lin- der the ride and run. 'Everyone asks why I want to do this," Mc- 5 Paul said. "I used to be 3 a- good runner and a good swimmer when I was in school. I wasn't the top in any of these sports, but I was good. 1 "It's the challenge. Not many people have done the Ironman. I would like to prove to myseif tliat I can." 1 The 25-year-old Mc- Paul said lie ladn't realized tliat lie could just apply for entry to 5 the Ironman. There are _2 categories for the U.S. 2and for foreign entries. McPaul, wlio is 5 foot, 9 inclies taîl and 154 lbs. began training in May of 2 '84. He said the Lwo weeks before May 15 of r . this year wlien lie irt rcelve hisacceptance were the liardest, but is training liasn't slowed down since. "In the winter," lie said, *'everything's Odone inside, and it looks like you're going nowliere." ,... Now McPaul is definitely going somewliere, constantly. Mondays, lie runs 8 5 miles, and swims 90 to 2 120 lengtlis. Tuesdays * 2 are the same except lie adds 2 miles to the run. Wednesdays and Tliursdays lie rides with the Oshiawa Bike Club a total o! 36 to 40 miles and lie swims one of those niglits as well. Fridays lie runs 8 miles; 3 Saturdays lie runs 14 2 miles, and is starting a ____ 20-mile ride. Sundays lie does a 5o to 60 mile ride, which he plans to in- crease in a couple of weeks. He sometimes swims weekends too. Recently lie tried tying a belt around his waist hooked to a manned rowboat (for weîglit and safety) and swam against the current in the Trent system. Competing in Ontario triathlons is part of bis training as well. Two weeks ago lie competed at Barrie. He swam 1.5 km., rode 40 km., and ran 10 km., in 2 lir. 27 min. 41 sec., placing six- th in a field of 100. McPaul said lie was happy witli those results. "1I'm doing these races just to keep my edge. My main goal is not to win here but to keep training up for Hawaii." These races help him with his transactions. Tliat is, switching his body over to a whole dif- ferent set of muscles, noL to mention clianging into a new set of gear. The ride to run is usually the Most dif- ficuit transaction for him, he saîd, because bis legs feel like rubber at the beginning of the run. McPaul said lie uses aIl the best equipment to get every edge possible. And that equipment is expensive, even more so than lie had expected., He got a good deal on his racing bike at $965, instead of the regular $1,200, plus new rims at $200 a pair, and tires at $34 each. He has a riding out! i, another sliell for rain bathing suits, run- ning slioes (one pair cost hlm $99 and couldn'L be used after 10 wearings) and atliletic orthotics (foot supports, custom moulded for bis feet.) Then there is the cost of the trip to Hawaii. Wliois paying? "Me and my wife," McPaul said. "~I asked GM (McPauI' lias completed one year of a three-year appren- ticeship as an industrial meclianicl but they don't sponsor in- dividuals. "I asked tlie UAW, and they asked for a list o! expenses and may pay for pa rt. " If any indivîduals or small companies would lîke to take hlm on, Mc- Paul said he'd be glad to hear fpom thern. His wife, Janice, doesn't mind tlie money, lie said, but slie wasn't prepared for the amounit of time spent training. 111 was ahl tickled pink, but there wasn't much smile on lier face until we discussed iL. Now she's telling me to geL at it. I couldn't have anybody better there." Whtby resident, Richard McPaul, trains near bis fatlier-in-law's home in Oshiawa, preparing himself for the Ironman World Cliampionships in Hawaii this October. Free Press Staff Photo General Vanier Secon- dary in Oshawa, she won the award for out- standing female athiete tliree out o! four years. McPaul met lier w hen lie moved there in is second year. He won the outstanding male atlilete award once and placed second twice. Wlien McPaul goes Lo going with him. "Slie's my number two coachli." His mumber one coachi is bis father-in-law, Wayne Norris, wlio is training for the masters 10k race. "I run better witli someone wlio is just as fast, and lie is. " Dave Scott, wlio lolds the record in tlie Iron- year of just under nine bours lias won tlie event for the past four years. "My first goal is to finish," MePaul said.
