788 Across the river from Memphis, Tennessee | Subject: 2015 Roll Call Since people are posting in the revamp thread, I figured why not a Roll Call thread. Disclaimer: All questions are voluntary! I'll Start! GROUP FOCUS: Finding other members locally for group training, etc. NAME: WebFootFreak/Rick LOCATION: Marion, AR STORY: Medical issues pushed me to take a third (and hopefully final) trip down the scale. I'd always wanted to try a tri, but was unaware that there were shorter distances available. Running worked before to lose the weight. Biking is fun and gets me away from everyone for a while. Add swimming and there you go! Memphis in May last year was my first ever attempt. I barely made my goal of 2 hours (I wanted to log an official time). I do tend to train solo either very early or very late (family). I am also a member of MLH Tri which is a very informal team made up of employees and family members of the Methodist/LeBonheur healthcare system. I got in because my wife is an RN in the ER. I have participated with the Hightailers on the "Urban Legends" ride over in AR FAMILY STATUS: Married with 4 heathens (15 boy & 9,6,2 girls) CURRENT TRAINING: 2S, 2B, 3R plan (2nd swim is hit & miss due to schedule) working to Oly distances 2014 RACES: Memphis in May Sprint Tour de Cure (40 mi route) Riverbluff Sprint 2015 SCHEDULE: Warrior Dash in Amity, AR Memphis in May Sprint (if it ever gets off the ground) Mighty Mite Sprint Riverbluff Sprint (my wife wants to run this as her first tri, yay!)

61 | Subject: RE: 2015 Roll Call Name: Omne38103 Location: Memphis, TN Story: Been running for a few years, though inconsistently and not very well. Watched an Ironman broadcast on TV and thought that that would make a nice goal, despite not riding a bike in 15+ years and not knowing how to swim freestyle. I did some biking last year and some swimming and made my first triathlon attempt at Memphis in May. It was cold, windy and rainy in the morning, and I thought I was going to drown in that murky water. Thankfully it wasn't too deep, so I was able to hop along on my toes for the first half, and swim on my back and side until the end. 15 minutes to swim 440 yards. But I finished! Not sure my plan for this year. Family Status: Single 2014 Races: Move-it Memphis 10k Germantown half marathon Memphis in May sprint tri Bardog 5k Overton Park Classic 5 Milers NYC Marathon St. Jude half marathon 2015 Races (tentative): Move it Memphis 10k Go! St. Louis half marathon Akron half marathon Greenline half marathon Still need to find a tri in there somewhere, if MIM doesn't happen. I'd love clear, shallow water but that doesn't exist around here! |

1 | Subject: RE: 2015 Roll Call Hello. First post here. Murfreesboro I have never done a tri before. I was aiming to do one in 2016, but was encouraged to do one this year. I am doing the music city sprint in July. Buying my first bike this weekend! |

788 Across the river from Memphis, Tennessee | Subject: RE: 2015 Roll Call Originally posted by WebFootFreak 2015 SCHEDULE: Warrior Dash in Amity, AR Memphis in May Sprint (if it ever gets off the ground) Mighty Mite Sprint Riverbluff Sprint (my wife wants to run this as her first tri, yay!) St Jude HM Glad to see a few others posting... I had given it up as a lost cause, lol! I've done a little shuffling and can only do 3 events due to scheduling conflicts... I've had to drop the Warrior Dash since I can't get out of town that weekend. Memphis in May took too long to get off the ground, so I had to change my focus there... New Schedule: Gearhead Sprint in Jonesboro, AR Mighty Mite in Forrest City, AR Riverbluff Sprint in Ashland City, TN Since there's 4 months between the Riverbluff and St Jude, I may be able to squeeze that one in as well... Either way, I'm training for it. |
