Page the HERALD Sports Wednesday November 1991 Local triathlete helps Canada capture gold The following Is a letter from Georgetown Linda Kirk Ms Kirk is an established athlete in the Canadian triathlon circuit and was part of Canadas national team at the World Championships In Australia in October when Canada captured the gold are individuals Were high achievers who dress in outrageous colours and often display antisocial behaviour On October individuals were dropped off at the Trillium terminal to begin the long trip to the World Championships in Australia Our families kissed us goodbye and off we went alone just the way we prefer it In order to qualify for this team each athlete had to finish in the top two places in one of five quali fying races across Canada Only part of the team was from On tario so for the next few days we took some time to get to know each other I met people from all across Canada so different and yet all the same We ran and swam together and helped each other as best we could As the week progressed the Canadian red and white was seen everywhere By choice the team uniform became our only war drobe At first it was just the jacket at night but over the week the conversion was complete and we became a unit Imagine the shock at the Animal Sanctuary when a bus load of peo ple all in red and white arrived to play with the kangaroos As time went on we did everything together not by edict but by choice The crew followed us around with their cameras to registration to the park for the team picture to team meetings to bike check and finally the race The highlight was the parade of nations Thirty- five countries were represented and there at the end was Team Canada One hundred and twentyseven strong all in red and white and so proud it was hard to contain ourselves Sunday at 7 am the elite women took off We had high hopes for them and a good shot at placing While we waited our turn to start we stood on the beach and cheered our team on We saw Joanne Terry Sue Carol and called to them all by name These women are our friends a part of our family and we let them know it As the waves continued to start we had to focus on our own task but even during the race we en couraged each other Canadian cheering Canadian as we passed each other right down to the last one over the line Sunday evening Team Canada sat together as always Everyone was excited Wed done very well gold silver bronze I was wellequipped thanks to Miller and Pete Teams exchanged clothing with other teams but no one was able to trade for a Canadian team jacket Not one member was go ing to part with theirs After being awardd her gold medal Joanne Ritchie from Kelowna BC thanked everyone concerned She ended the evening by telling the audience A week ago our team arrived as a group of individuals but something happened here We all felt the same that gold medal belonged to the whole team the same way it belongs to our parents families and friends

effectiveness of your workout by monitoring your heart rate Monitoring your heart rate is a guage by which you can assess the intensity of your workout at any point By keeping your working heart rate within your individual working heart range youll know that you are doing enough to derive benefit and yet not so much as to be dangerous It also allows you to measure objectively your level of fitness as you advance through your chosen fitness activity By monitoring the following three heart rates you will be able to determine your level of fitness Resting Heart Rate Your resting heart rate RHR can be a fitness indicator because it tells you how hard your heart is working A person in good aerobic condition usually has a lower resting heart rate than that of a person in poor aerobic condition As you become more fit your resting heart rate may decrease significantly indicating that your heart has become stronger Working Heart Rate The working heart rate is an excellent in dicator of the intensity and the effectiveness of the workout As exer cise becomes more vigorous and more oxygen is required the heart increases its rate of being to supply oxygen to the muscles and in turn develops aerobic fitness Recovery Heart Rate The recovery heart rate indicates how quick ly your heart returns to a preworking heart rate level If it takes more than ten minutes to return to your heart rate then you are working too hard and should cut back the intensity of your workout in teaching early childhood education business or public relations then gain the necessary experience in these fields by
