Looking for some Training Partners in the Tri-State (OH, KY, IN)

I'm planning on doing the Tri For Joe at Coney Island, which looks like it'll by my first Tri ever (I'm not doing the Miami Tri b/c it's too close to the Half Mara I want to do). I'll PM you when it's getting closer.

Have either of you competed in any Tris that Team Columbus puts on? I've been looking to register for a couple of those since I used to live there (actually Westerville, I'm an Otterbein grad)

 Well if either of youpass through the Tri State at some time, PM me beforehand if ya'll want to get a run or bike in. I'd just like to get some training in with a partner sometimes. Keep the motivation going, you know.

Hi,

I live in Portsmouth, Oh. which is too far from anywhere but if you do any of the later in the season HFP Races I'll be at some of them. (see log) So say Hi. I'll be the one at the back of the pack.  On the bike that is faster than I am. Have a good weekend.

My tris in Columbus are mostly thru Fat Rabbit (http://www.fatrabbitracing.com/) and NCN Racing (http://www.ncnracing.com/calendar/) in the Cleveland area. Looking forward to Tri for Joes in Cincinnati. Look good. Had to buy a wetsuit for it though. They say the water in in the low 60. I wanted to do the one in Miami but have a conflict with a wedding in Cleveland and wouldn't have time to make it to Cleveland.

Well I'm putting you all on as buddies and will definately hit you up before I go to the races. Be nice to meet others who use this site. And by the way, this site is amazing! It's honestly one of the reasons I really have enjoyed the training! I am obsessed on writing my training down, and planning like a month in the future. This is awesome to be able to write it all way ahead and check on it, along with seeing others.

Rock on.

The water temps are pretty chilly, but you can do it without a wetsuit.  Many of the swimmers last year did the swim without a wetsuit.

The bike is a long ride, about 18 miles... last year it was 17.5.  Not too many hills, mainly flat and pretty straight.  2 turn arounds.

Run was flat, out and back.

You can look me up, I plan on being there.  I'll be setting up the the 40-44 men's area.  My ride is a Black and Yellow Cervelo One, and I should be wearing a Wright Tri club jersey.  Not that you will see that for sure.... last year it was cool enough that you wanted long sleeves and long pants on.  I think it started in the 58 range and might have finally warmed up into the mid 70's by the finish.
