Physical Equilibrium extends our sincere congratulations to the Gilda’s Club NYC Marathon team for competing and completing the world’s premiere marathon last Sunday. For roughly six months, these amateur athletes not just dedicated themselves to training for the rigors 
of the 26.2 mile New York City Marathon but also to raising money to support the mission of Gilda’s Club. The fundraising totals will be released soon and we are sure that the team hit its goals for the third straight year!
Sunday (11/6) was a beautiful day in New York City with great weather and an even better atmosphere of people showing support and cheering on the runners. I know that all of team enjoyed themselves as much as I and the rest of the Physical Equilibrium staff enjoyed watching them compete. Please visit our Facebook page to view pictures by clicking here.
Looking forward to training the team again next race season!

Just because the weather is turning cooler does not mean that you need to give up your outdoor activities. With the exception of maybe open water swimming, (unless you are Tim Williams who continues to swim at Brighton Beach each morning) you can continue with just about every other outdoor activity that you enjoy during the summer months by simply making a few slight modifications to your clothing. 
For those who enjoy tennis, golf, cycling and running, adding another clothing layer should suffice. Early morning joggers and cyclists, however, should also consider purchasing long fingered gloves and toe booties to layer on top of your cycling shoes.
Now is also the perfect time of year to head out to the farmer’s market and stock up on seasonal fruits and vegetables. Squash and root vegetables are abundant during the fall months and are a unique and healthy option to add to your diet.
A low calorie option to pasta is spaghetti squash. It is easily prepared in the microwave or it can be baked in the oven. It is very tasty and provides enough fuel for you to continue the outdoor activities that you love so much.
For a green market near you check out the list by visiting: http://www.grownyc.org/ourmarkets.
Happy fall!

Physical Equilibrium triathlete Kurt Polk recently completed the Greenwich Cup Triathlon in Greenwich, CT in a fantastic time of 1 hour, 36 minutes. He did so despite highly uncooperative summer weather, which consisted of a constant downpour of rain that made navigating the entire course, especially the swim, quite difficult.
Below Kurt recaps his experience competing in his second triathlon:
It was an interesting morning. It poured rain for the entire event. They didn’t have chips – when I asked they said “it’s a little more laid back here” – I was pissed about that. You couldn’t even see the marker buoy for the swim. I do know that I did the swim in 16 minutes in pretty heavy currents and felt that my transition (getting out of my wetsuit) went faster than I thought – I guess using a half a stick of body glide works wonders. To the bike – this is where I was focused on making up time. I really pushed myself as hard as I could, realizing that I would be able to survive the run. Did I mention it was raining?
About 10 miles in, when riding through a residential neighborhood, I “missed” a hard left downhill turn, hit a curb and went flying over my handlebars. Fortunately, it was onto a nicely manicured lawn – it is Greenwich after all – and my bike wasn’t damaged at all. I’m a bit bruised and sore, but at the time, the adrenaline boost got me back on the bike and by the end, I passed the guy I had just passed before the wreck.
The run went fine probably about the same time as my last tri. Overall, this was 11 minutes quicker than my first. I wish they were better organized and there was better weather, but it was a blast to accomplish!
Congratulations to Kurt on this great achievement!
