Champion  8766       Evergreen, Colorado |  Subject: jldicarlo's group -- FULLNAME: jldicarlo / Jennifer STORY: I have a pretty typical story of how I got into triathlons. A runner by trade, I heard about a really fun long distance bike event that I wanted to do. So I bought a bike and trained for it. Then a few months later my grad school built a brand new Olympic size swimming pool so I started swimming. Poof...a triathlete is born. I've never been very good, but I'm very crazy! Never one to jump in hesitantly, I did my first triathlon in 2004 at the Buffalo Springs Lake Half Ironman, one of the hardest Half Ironmans in the US. I was undertrained, unprepared, uneducated about the sport...but I did it anyway! I was TRULY a beginner triathlete! I still remember being in T2 standing there doing my mental checklist to make sure I had everything and I was SO SLOW that the guy who came in second overall was already dismantling his transition area. He told me to make sure I carried some water. FAMILY STATUS: Single CURRENT TRAINING: I work with Mike Ricci of D3 Multisport. He runs the show as far as putting together the training plan. This season I hope to do at least one half ironman, a few Oly's, a few half marathons, and a marathon...gee, a little of everything! LAST YEAR'S RACES: The highlights: Olymipics: St. Anthony's, Memphis In May, Boulder Peak St. Anthony's Olympic (2:30 or bust)

Despite these rough beginnings, I kept coming back for more! Injury has held me back in the last few seasons, but I am still very active in racing. I learn more and more every year and every race!| 2006-12-23 8:14 PM in reply to: #632453 |

| Veteran 158 Grapevine, Texas | Subject: RE: jldicarlo's group -- OPEN May I join up with your group too? I'll come back and write more or post to my logs what's been up. The quick and dirty though is I'm recovering from a stress fracture in the right tib. I'm finally getting my running legs back and can run without stopping for one mile. |

| Champion 8766 Evergreen, Colorado | Subject: RE: jldicarlo's group -- OPEN Of COURSE you may join! Stress fractures are no fun! Coming back from injury isn't fun either! Just be sure to take it NICE and SLOW. I know it can be frustrating--when I run these days I do 5' run/5' walk and it drives me nuts! But I know it will be worth it in the end! |

| Veteran 105 Stormville, NY | Subject: RE: jldicarlo's group -- OPEN I'd like to join your group if I may. I've been a member here for a little over a year. I started training last January and went from 260lbs to 230 by June which is when I had my first and only race of 2006. My second son was born in July and between him and my other son and a 60 hour work week including commuting I had to give something up so my training went. Now I am back and ready for the fun again. Starting in February I will become a full time stay at home Dad. So even if I just use the time I used to commute I'll have 20 extra hours a week to train. Hopefully you can help me stay focused and get me to where I know I can be with this triathlon thing. Edited by MKraus64 2006-12-29 10:36 AM |

| Subject: RE: jldicarlo's group -- OPEN Room for one more? Major beginner here. No real athletic background. I love love love love (did I say love?) swimming, I'm totally new to the bike and that other part of the trifecta—my nemisis the run (or in my case...the walk.) I trained for 10 weeks before doing my first sprint in October, which was amazing! Now that I'm hooked, I have become a total gear junkie, lost about 30lbs and am joining a master swim group. I want to lose about 30 more lbs by May, build my legs for the bike and learn to enjoy running. Oh and I'm sure I'll have some absurd questions... :-) |

| Champion 8766 Evergreen, Colorado | Subject: RE: jldicarlo's group -- OPEN Welcome, Michael! Of COURSE you can join! Congrats on becoming a stay at home dad! That's awesome! You will DEFINITELY have more time to train. Have you invested in a jogging stroller yet? Sorry it took me so long to reply. There is no one at work Christmas week so I took on a ton of additional duties and haven't been on BT much today. I'm usually around all the time. |

| Champion 8766 Evergreen, Colorado | Subject: RE: jldicarlo's group -- OPEN Welcome, Kara! You'll fit right in. I love love love love love swimming too (in case you couldn't tell from the 10k). We have similar weight loss goals as well! Cool! This week was a bit crazy at work but I hope to spend some time online this weekend reading everyone's logs and getting to know y'all. |

| New user 5 State College! | Subject: RE: jldicarlo's group -- OPEN Hi! I was wondering if I could join this group... NAME: Leigh STORY: I ran recreationally for a couple years, but never with much consistancy. I get bored of one workout too easily. I started dating a guy who happened to be the president of our school's triathlon club, and he kept telling me to get a bike and give it a try. I started riding an old used Trek and loved it, so I added in swimming. About 4 months later I did my first race. I trained all year, but have had trouble with consistancy. For example, I trained 5 days a week well throughout november, and about 5 times in all of december. Personally, I just graduated from penn state will owrk there for the next 4 months, and am applying to graduate schools in colorado. Since I know I'll be traveling a good bit this year and moving, i'm even more worried about my consistancy. FAMILY STATUS: Boyfriend CURRENT TRAINING: In a 'good' week, i like a couple 5-6 mile runs, a 10 miler, a coupld 25 mile bikes and a swim or two. I don't have many good weeks. Usually i end up with 1 or 2 runs, a bike, and a swim. LAST YEAR'S RACES: clermont FL sprint (750 m/30km/5k), bethesda md supersprint (500 yd/10 mi/2.5 mi), columbia md irongirl (1 km/18 mi/3.5 mi) 2007 RACES: No idea...need to figure out where i'm going to live this summer. i'm aiming for 2 sprints and one oly. WEIGHTLOSS: Since 2004 i've lost about 20 lbs, from 143 to near 120. I'm aiming for about 10 more by june. |

It's a Tri-Mecca...if you go to grad school there you almost can't help BUT live the lifestyle! You sound like you got into tri's about the same as I did...so slowly you didn't even see it coming! I'll add you to my friends list! More to come from me this weekend when I have some time to sit in front of the computer. Christmas week was NUTS at work...too much to do and not enough people! |

| Champion 8766 Evergreen, Colorado | Subject: RE: jldicarlo's group -- FULL Okay, gang! Looks like we have a full group! I would love to take on more than seven, but we'll stay there for now so I can make sure I can give everyone enough attention! Let's see...where to start, where to start! Okay, I think I have everyone on my friends list. If y'all haven't already, you should put each other on your friends lists so we can start checking on everyone. And how about everybody works on getting some Long Term and Short Term goals in their blogs? That way we know what everyone is working towards! I think that's enough assignments for now. |
