Women Unscripted

American Sally Barkow stands in for Abby Ehler for this episode live from Itajai in Brazil and just before the in-port race took place to talk to Australian Stacey Jackson from Vestas 11th Hour Racing and New Zealand's Bianca Cook on Turn the Tide on Plastic. They share their experiences so far and what it was really like in the Southern Ocean on Leg 7.  Stacey explains how it's now become a mental rather that physical challenge and what the last leg took out of the sailors. Bianca also talks about the last leg and how they also dealt with the challenge of technical problems that interrupted their racing.

Germany’s Jessica von Bredow-Werndl finished third in Paris last weekend for the third time at a FEI World Cup Final with her loyal partner Unee Bb, and it was an emotional finale too. Owned by Swiss dressage judge Beatrice Bürchler-Keller the 17 year old Dutch stallion has had an illustrious career with Jess and this would be his last World Cup Final. The self proclaimed ‘King of Aubenhausen’ is poised to retire after achieving a personal best score in the freestyle of 83.725% and can now look forward to the green pastures of home in the east of Germany overlooking the Alps… but not quite yet. Jess is going to be busy this summer campaigning her two mares; the 11 year old Trakhener mare Tsf Dalera Bb and 14 year old Dutch mare Zaira E with a view to making the team for the 2018 World Equestrian Games later this year. I caught up with the popular German after she returned home from Paris to hear about her World Cup performance and plans for the year.

With race season about to get under way for triathletes, Team Sirius Tri Club coaches Siri & Bek offer advice on how to prepare for your first race by getting your mind as well as your body ready. There's some great tips for visualization and developing the right mind set, not to set yourself up with great expectations but prepare for any eventuality on race day and know how to cope when things go wrong from a flat tire to injury.  Bek discusses post race recovery and how to speed it up with therapeutic treatment, the use of compression socks and keeping your legs up. It's all in here and a moment of reflection on their wedding day and why they don't have wedding rings!

Low back pain is a common injury among athletes and can manifest in many ways with acute to chronic conditions that sometimes last a lifetime. Dr. Heather North unpacks the common causes, symptoms and treatment and why the advice given by doctors nowadays differs so much to past practices. "We're really understanding right now is that it's important to stay active with low back pain and not be fearful of it. Really the worst thing you can do right now if you have low back pain is to do nothing, to sit there and not be active," says Heather. "We operate so much from the mindset of treating the patient symptoms that they are describing to us as opposed to going by imaging. And the reason that that is the case is because imaging doesn't always go hand in hand with what the patient is experiencing with their symptoms."  Heather explains why it's important to find a routine for your exercise that fits into your day: "Every evening before I brush my teeth and floss my teeth and get ready for bed, I pull out my exercise ball, I practice my planks, and I practice pulling my belly button in. And if you can spend 5-8 mins of that every evening you can actually prevent low back pain in the long run."
