. ... Monahan extended his points streak to three

Tatyana McFadden has won 19 major marathons in push-rim wheelchair racing -- from London and Boston in the spring, to Chicago last Sunday to New York City in the fall, where she will attempt to four-peat on November 6. In fact, McFadden hasnt lost any of those races since 2012. By now, her backstory is familiar: She was born with spina bifida in the Soviet Union, spent six years in an orphanage where she learned to walk on her hands, was adopted by an American, emigrated, and worked her way to the top of the world in wheelchair racing.In September, two days after her last race in Rio (where she won 6 of her now-16 Paralympic track medals), she shared seven things you may not realize about push-rim marathon racing.I wear 3-D printed gloves.We wear gloves when we race, and the style has changed so much over the years. Now theres 3-D printing, and in Rio I had 3-D printed gloves. You make a mold of your hand. They scan it, make a file, and print gloves out of plastic (with rubber over the plastic where you push). Its really nice because if you lose one, you can just print another pair.I fix my own flats.Ive had flats several times during a marathon. I always keep spare tubes in a little pouch tied to the front of my frame, where the front fork is. You have to stay really relaxed the whole time, because if you can get it changed quick enough you can bounce back, depending on what kind of course it is. I had a flat at the London Paralympics. I fixed the first tire, jumped back in the race, and caught up with the group. Then, sadly, I had another flat and I finished the race second-to-last.Youre allowed to get help; they just cant push you forward.I drink water on the go.I tie a CamelBak to the back of my frame because we dont stop for water. The tubing can be threaded underneath our chairs, between our feet and all the way up so I can just drink from the straw.My hardest -- and favorite -- marathon is NYC.I think New York is the hardest [compared to Boston, London, and Chicago] because it has the most climbs and the steepest climbs. But New Yorks also my favorite of those because I love to climb.I do some major mileage.We train anywhere from 2 to 4 hours a day. We do well over 100 miles in a week. Some days well do 30 miles in one day. We can get those 30 miles in different ways: through the morning workout versus the afternoon workout. Its different depending on what training cycle were in. We do taper, a week before the marathon.I used to be fueled by peanut butter fluffIn the past seven years since I started marathon racing, everything for me has changed, actually. Eating habits, for one. I started racing in high school and I would eat peanut butter and [marshmallow] fluff sandwiches or something crazy - not the best lunches for an athlete. I learned so much about food. Im eating much more vegetables now. Im taking proper care of my body more.Im really a sprinter.I race everything from 100 meters and up. My favorite distance? 400 and 800. I like the marathons -- but I love the 4 and the 8. Why? Theyre long enough, but also short enough. My first Paralympic track medals were in sprints: In Athens, in 2004, I got silver in the 100 and bronze in 200. In Beijing, I did 100, 200, 400, 800 -- so still sprinting. It was not til I got to college in 2009, where I really became involved with the [marathon] distance. But Im definitely a sprinter, still. Ive always had those fast-twitch muscles.

CALGARY, Alberta -- Sean Monahans split-second decision sent the Calgary Flames to their second consecutive win.Monahan waited out Minnesota goalie Devan Dubnyk before snapping a shot over his right pad for the shootout winner as Calgary edged the Wild 3-2 on Friday night.I had no idea what I was doing, to be honest, Monahan acknowledged. I thought I was going to come in and go high blocker, but it wasnt there. Hes pretty tall, so I just tried a little move and lucky enough something opened up.Calgary goalie Chad Johnson then stopped Charlie Coyles attempt at the other end of the ice to seal the victory.Its nice when you get the lead, said Johnson, who commended Monahan. If you can get a lead in the shootout, it gives you confidence. You have a little bit more breathing room.Kris Versteeg and Mikael Backlund scored in regulation for the Flames (12-13-2), who are 4-1-1 in their past six games.Johnson made 26 saves for his second straight victory and fifth in the last six starts.Obviously, Johnny stood on his head again for us, made some big saves there in the shootout and in that third period and kept us in that game, Monahan said. Its a lot of credit to him and weve got to build some momentum here at home.Chris Stewart and Mikko Koivu scored for Minnesota (11-8-4), which is 0-1-2 in its past three games.Dubnyk finished with 30 saves, including four in overtime, before allowing goals to Versteeg and Monahan in the shootout.Were not going to overthink the skills competition, Dubnyk said. Id like to make the save, but well work on that. Those are just things you do your best and try to bear down. Obviously it feels better when you get the extra point, but I think in a game that wasnt our best -- we werent as sharp as wed like to be -- to come out with a point and get a big goal in the third is something to build on.ddddddddddddStewart opened the scoring at 3:50 of the first period when he redirected defenseman Jared Spurgeons shot past Johnson.The Flames pulled even at 12:26 when Versteeg backhanded a rebound past Dubnyk, who made a pad save to stop the initial point shot by defenseman Jyrki Jokipakka.Just 1:07 later during a man advantage for the Flames, Backlund tapped a loose puck in the crease into the net behind Dubnyk, who had made back-to-back saves to deny scoring attempts by Mark Giordano and Matthew Tkachuk.Although the Wild outshot Calgary 7-5 in the second, they werent able to get any pucks past Johnson, who made a nice save to stop a one-timer off the stick of Zach Parise early in the period.Koivu scored the equalizer for the Wild at 7:40 in the third when he took a pass from Jason Zucker in the slot and fired a shot to the top corner, glove side, past Johnson.Tkachuk had a great chance to score for Calgary when Alex Chiasson set him up in the slot with 6:18 left in regulation, but Koivu reached back with the shaft of his stick to deflect the puck over the net.The Flames had a power play to start overtime, but werent able to capitalize.Game notes Stewart had gone 14 games without a point and 15 games without scoring before his goal in the first period. ...
