The dreaded marathon
Sunday morning i got up and did a mock race marathon with the team, i used it as training and just made constant attacks, i have to admit i was blown up from the squats saturday in the gym, but i just kept trying to destroy my legs. By the end of it i could barely even make a break away. I ended up gettin snuck on the sprint by son, caught me sleepin. After the marathon my legs were so tight i could barely get on my bike.
For lunch i had some loaded french fries and a philly cheese steak - this is the secret (philly cheese steak) hahaha and i drank water. Normally i would have just eatin what they brought me out, but after my recent trip to PA, i now know what a real philly is supposed to taste like so i sent her back with it and told her to LOAD it up with cheese... when it came back it was good, but it was no philly cheese steak. I do have to mention when i ordered the 'philly cheese steak' she asked me if i wanted chicken of beef-- i said is that a serious question, who the hell orders a philly cheese chicken lol
For dinner i had a couple cookies and some lemonade- i gotta work on getting my diet back on track.

Whitehall PA Clinic Recap
I love teaching camps where everyone wants to learn and has fun doing it- this was one of those. The weather was cold and today was mostly rainy, but despite the bad weather, the people were incredible; i felt very welcommed and everyone was just really nice.
The Ristines were responsible for organizing the clinic and did a phenominal job with everything. They were great to hang out with, they made me feel like part of the family. The kids were a blast to be around; as with the family in Colombia, it's the people like them that make me love doing clinics.
The turn out was great, we had 2 days of the clinic- each day was from 7am to noon. The first day we started off with start work, straight away technique, and a little bit of static dry lands. They had me hooked up with a wireless micrphone that just clipped onto my shirt which ended up working perfect; I was able to critique people and explain drills as i was doing them with everyone in the building able to hear what i was saying.
.jpg)
We had a pretty wide variety of ages at the camp, which for me doesnt make much of a difference because i dont teach any kind of super special secret drills that make you fast over night- i teach stuff that you can do no matter how hold you are or what your skill level is. Everyone did great with the exercises and i felt like everyone was able to take something away that will help improve their skating, regardless if they want to be a world champion or just skate for fun.
On the second day we focused on corner technique, hawks, dynamic dry lands, mental toughness and goal setting. I enjoy explaining to skaters what they should be feeling when they skate and what they need to work towards, because many don't know exactly what that is. Personally, i believe that understanding WHY you do something helps motivate you to do it, because now there is reason behind doing a drill that otherwise seemed kind of pointless.
Everyone attending the clinic got a tee shirt and a disk that has videos of all the drills i was instructing in the camp. I want to say thank you very much to everyone who attended, i had a great time and look forward to coming back for another one before too long.
Above you can see on my right foot my prototype stock shoe that ive been working with dave to make called the M1. I've been developing a new shape of the footbed that i call the Edge Control Platform- essentially what it does is gives you a much bigger and more reliable surface to push off for each stroke... this maximizes efficiency and just makes the whole skating experience 'feel like it should'. Like i was saying before, many people dont know what a boot is supposed to feel like, this will show you exactly what you've been missing. The shoe should be available before long... I cant wait.
If anyone is interested in organizing a clinic, feel free to contact me - JoeyMantia@gmail.com
A lot of people have been asking what im doing for my sponsor next year, i am signing 2 years with simmons/schankel, thats a done deal... and am seriously considering working with hyper as my wheel brand, but nothing is set in stone yet.

friday lunch was chips n salsa at chilis with water. I had a snack in the airport- dried fruit and cashews with green tea. When i got to philly i had my first authentic cheese steak with mushrooms and onions - i know that doesnt exactly follow the diet to the T, but i couldnt miss out on the experience... it was pretty good (apparently it wasnt good by PA standards, but i dont know the difference).
Saturday morning the clinic started at 7am so we had to get up pretty early and drive to the rink. I had 2 bananas and some water. Lunch was lone star steak house- baby back ribs with a plain baked potato and steamed broccoli and water. Dinner was outback steak house- 6 ounce sirloin with shrimp and lobster topping and mashed potatos and a ceasar salad. I had 2 wallaby darneds- girly drink, but its too good to pass up (no homo). That night i had some dessert that johns wife made called strawberry surprise- has like angel food cake, strawberries, ready whip, vanilla pudding- really good, im a fat kid still.
Today for breakfast i had a banana again and some water. Lunch was 2 cheese steaks at the "good" place... now i know what a good philly cheese steak is! After the clinic i skated an indoor practice in bethlehem-
warm up in opposite direction- left foot pushes only
pace line right foot left foot
2 lap pace line double backs
passing drill
starts to the finish line
burn pace- laps dictated by coach
cool down pace line
i liked the practice, gave me a lot of time to focus on my pushes and start working on stepping into the corner, which is coming along very nicely.
Dinner was fridays- broccoli and cheese soup, about 4 strawberry lemonades, vanilla bean cheese cake, and peanut butter chocolate pie- still fat hahaha

Yesterday morning for breakfast i had 3 plain eggs scrambled with water. For lunch i had 2 pork chops, pea and corn medley, applesauce and water. For dinner i had a grilled chicken breast, cold cut roast beef, tomatoes, guacamole, and a pickle with water and a sweet tea.
Dave and I somewhat finalized the last we wanna use for my boot - the M1. I skated indoor practice with renne in tampa and realized how out of shape i really am. Given i was on all oranges, i was technically terrible and my legs were on fire... but that was expected.
warm up
2 lap pace line right foot left foot
2 lap burn pace
squat drills
push starts with a drop in, finish at the 1/2 mark
15 lap open
5 laps x2 - 3 person relay
OFF SKATES:
step cross- balance on each leg in squat position for about 20 sec
1 leg jump ups
baby steps
broad jumps
2 foot jump onto wall- x10
back to back wall sits - 1min on, 30 sec off, 1 min on
TODAY
today for breakfast i had 2 eggs srambled with mixed fresh fruit. Lunch was a chicken salad- 2 chicken breasts, tomatoes, lettuce, banana peppers, jalapenos (no dressing) with water.
First workout today in the gym was:
spin 30min, medium tension - getting a good burn
immediately into jumps:
jumps from knee high box to ground to waist high box x10
jumps from knee high box to ground to waist high box with 90 degree rotation- trading sides each jump x 20
20 straight jumps to box and immediately back down at waist height
16 lateral jumps (left right) over a bench
* i weighed in today at 166, a little over a week ago i was 174. My ideal race weight is somewhere around 159, so with the training schedule and diet ive been on it should happen really quickly. I can already feel some of the benefits from the diet... i have more energy each day after my workouts, despite my legs' lactic threshold being stupid bad right now, i physically have pretty good energy.

Yesterday, Today- My Terrible Luck
Yesterday morning for lunch was quiznos- i had a turkey bacon and gauc with chips and a dr pepper
I was testing a new mold that dave just made in the morning and was rolling down the road really slow, i went to turn and i dont know what the hell happened, but i fell right on the same wrist i hurt just a couple weeks ago in NSC. Luckily no one saw me... not too bad haha.
I skated with tyler about 10k, i felt really good. Took it pretty easy, just worked on double push technique. Right now, i have to think about what im doing too much, everything should be happening naturally, its just going to take time.
That night i skated indoor practice. We didnt do any drills in particular, i really just spent the whole time trying to get the feel back for indoor and figure out what i wanted to change in the new last. We did do a few 10 lappers, i felt good in those, but wow indoor hurts the legs a little bit.
Dinner was pork chops at bonefish grill with a cesar salad and water.
Today
Today is the first day of the diet that i tried to get on a month ago, but with all the traveling it didnt work out...
Breakfast was 3 scrambled eggs and grape juice
Lunch was 2 grilled chicken breasts
Dinner was grilled salmon and white beans
All day long i was snacking on fruit and nuts- bananas, grapes, and cashews
At night, jenefer made me some fresh guacamole, so i snacked on that as well.
Banana chips and natural peanut butter
So more about the bad luck... earlier in the day i was doing some circles on the new boot, and was really close to the edge of the road, my foot slipped, caught the edge of the pavement, and i flew... this time i was kinda bloody and of course, hurt my wrist again.
Bad luck comes in 3's - Then, right before we skated today i was turning around in someones driveway right? WRONG, i was sliding and falling down on someones driveway. I was literally was going 5 mph, but i guess they were resurfacing their driveway and it was really really chalky or something- bam, right on my wrist. Im assuming that if it wasnt broken before, it probably is now lol i cant wait to have arthritis when im 35
The workout was good- the hardest workout since worlds, which isnt saying much. we just skated a solid 13 miles.

That night i skated indoor practice. We didnt do any drills in particular, i really just spent the whole time trying to get the feel back for indoor and figure out what i wanted to change in the new last. We did do a few 10 lappers, i felt good in those, but wow indoor hurts the legs a little bit.
Dinner was pork chops at bonefish grill with a cesar salad and water.
Today
Today is the first day of the diet that i tried to get on a month ago, but with all the traveling it didnt work out...
Breakfast was 3 scrambled eggs and grape juice
Lunch was 2 grilled chicken breasts
Dinner was grilled salmon and white beans
All day long i was snacking on fruit and nuts- bananas, grapes, and cashews
At night, jenefer made me some fresh guacamole, so i snacked on that as well.
Banana chips and natural peanut butter
So more about the bad luck... earlier in the day i was doing some circles on the new boot, and was really close to the edge of the road, my foot slipped, caught the edge of the pavement, and i flew... this time i was kinda bloody and of course, hurt my wrist again.
Bad luck comes in 3's - Then, right before we skated today i was turning around in someones driveway right? WRONG, i was sliding and falling down on someones driveway. I was literally was going 5 mph, but i guess they were resurfacing their driveway and it was really really chalky or something- bam, right on my wrist. Im assuming that if it wasnt broken before, it probably is now lol i cant wait to have arthritis when im 35
The workout was good- the hardest workout since worlds, which isnt saying much. we just skated a solid 13 miles.
