masters crosscountry ski championship 1 came to realize that it Is best to wax your own way and not follow the As the competitors gathered in the waxing area most of the conversation naturally concerned tt e wax of the day Some of the competitors had tried green wax In the degree fahrenheit tempera I and said that It worked perfect ly Others said that hard blue wax was equally as good Still others were using mysterious wax nations while making the whole process look like a Hollywood production number A number of skiers were melting in of grip wax under the foot area while others were putting on IB of grip In one comer of the room a quiet bearded and reserved man was seen dotting the kick area of his skis with red wax Red wax in degree temperatures You ve got to be kidding I said to myself Several competitors knowing who this man was kept their thoughts to themselves Others not knowing his identity almost laughed at lie sight of this man placing tiny gobs of red wax on his skis The man they laughed at won the race for his age category Incidentally he just happened lo be a legend In Canadian cross country skiing circles Red wax for degree temperatures Absurd I guess not for It sure worked for him didn It And who can knock success Certainly not the losers The legend probably broke all the rules of ski waxing which would cause the wax ere to throw up their hands In disbelief and frustration Always remember that nobody is completely right and nobody Is completely wrong when it comes to waxing Each Individual must experiment and use and reuse what works best for him There ore some common sense rules to follow though that offer a logical reason why you should use certain waxes for specific snow conditions Citing back to The Legend nobody knew what he had used as a base wax Obviously though he had still followed the basics to a point and had simply improvised on them His skis gripped the snow at the point of his kick contact with the snow The end result Is what counts Let take a brief look at why and how certain hard and salt waxes work under various snow conditions Basically the shape of snow crystals dictates the type of wax to be used For example a freshly fallen cold powder snow crystal has long spikes reaching out from Its centre The spikes which are sharp Jablntothewaxon the base of the ski Because they are so sharp a hard wax is all that is needed for grip As the new snow crystals warm up and melt the sharp spikes become dull and slanted therefore you need stickier or softer wax to grip these shorter spikes When the snow becomes old in theformofsoftslush ice or crust it is no longer In crystal form The spikes disappear leaving the round centres Now you need extremely sticky waxes or to grip these remaining centres Custom homes

live in third world countries It s very much in evidence in amateur and pro athletes as well as people concerned with their and weight At the USA marathon pic trials the first and second men s finishers both were suffering from deficiencies Winner Peter had a protein deficiency and Alberto displayed iron deficiency anaemia Four major dietary deficiencies have recently been recognized among athletes IRON Bed blood cells need iron to bind oxygen and carry it to the body a cells A diet of Iron poor foods or excessive blood loss can cause this Runners can become so weight conscious that this is bound to result Fruits vegetables salads yofcurt and cottage cheese arc certainly low In calories but also In Iron Combine this diet with heavy exercise and anaemia will be sure to follow To combat this problem eat enriched breakfast cereals bread pasta or noodles If you cat all natural grains remember these fortified and contain little Iron Also try to drink a glass of orange juice with the morning cereal Vitamin C will more than double your Intake of iron contained in the cereal CALCIUM Most people need to 1200 mg of calcium dally to maintain hone strength Osteoporosis thinning of bones is most prevalent In females and la further enhanced by a calcium poor diet To ensure good calcium Intake without your diet use low fat milk in cereal each morning salads prepare dressing using low fat yogurt Instead of mayonnaise to get your calcium By adding powdered milk to mashed potatoes or cassero les you will help even more CARBOHYDRATES Most people consume only per cent of food energy from carbohydrates instead of the per cent they should be This means rest Is fat and protein To change this proportion around lay off the eggs bacon and butter and have hat cereal in the morning Have a thick bread sandwich at lunch instead of a burger and fries At supper steam and broil instead of fry Your exercising will appreciate it BREAKFAST It hns been shown most people who skip breakfast tend to break down with a donut at mid morning or a plate of chip cookies before bed This diet In the morning and bingo night is a common problem which ultimately only increases your dally
