JeepFleeb's 2008 group - FULL!

Hi Aaron!  I was wondering if I would be able to join your group... I could definitely use some motivation!  Here is my background info:

NAME: Amber

STORY: I'm 25 years old and I became serious about running/working out in 2007.  I had run in a few races before I never took it seriously.  I am looking to participate in my first dualthon this year and hoping to build up enough endurance in the pool to participate in an '09 triathlon.

FAMILY STATUS: I have a great boyfriend.

CURRENT TRAINING: My race schedule is pretty spread out so I have plenty of time to train and rest in between each one.  I am currently running 3x per week but I need to motivate myself to cycle 2x per week (especially when my dualthon training starts) and swim 2x per week.

WEIGHTLOSS: This is going to sound funny but I actually need to put weight on.  My metabolism has sky rocketed since I seriously started working out (even though I always eat like a pig!).

  Here is my background info:

NAME: Christopher

STORY: 29 Year old going into my 3rd year of Triathlon. Last Year attempted 07 IMAZ and DNF Medical. I then only raced one more last season. large background in weight training which in this sport is a personal choice also considered pro golf many years ago

FAMILY STATUS:I I have a wonderful Fiance whom I will marry this year and she has a great 4 year old

CURRENT TRAINING: I have 43 week schedule that officially starts tomorrow. Initially a 6 day a week schedule with three bike and run with two swims and in the summer a third swim session will be added. I did have a coach the first two years but I am now using an adapted plan out of the Book be iron fit.

Hey-- I would love to join this group!

I am a 41 year old married mom of two, and am very lucky to have a supportive husband. I came to exercise/training late in life (like around 36 yrs old) and trained for and completed my first tris (sprints) in 2006.  I trained off and on in 2007, but had both health and family problems that interfered with my training and I didn't do any tris last year.

I really enjoy the training and the way it makes me look and feel, so with the medical all-clear, I am ready to start up again. I would do much better if I were a part of a group-- accountability, the benefit of a group's training experience and just general support!

 I am currently planning  June, July and September Sprint distance races, and am starting with the 4-7 hr Winter Maintenance plan.  I just started a new 40 hr/week job (after working part time from home for 10 years!) and am going through some time-management adjustments with that.

I hope to lose about 10% body fat (and go from a current wieght of 155 to a race weight closer to 145) and stay injury free.  Other than that, I'm just looking forward to a healthy winter and a fun season!

Thanks!

Jenna

NAME: Schrup / Paul

STORY: I'm almost 43, & live in Tacoma. I had a health scare last Mother's Day that turned out to be nothing, but motivated me to get into shape.

FAMILY STATUS: I'm married with a 4 year old son. 
 
CURRENT TRAINING:I train as often as my crazy schedule will permit. I have been going to the gym as often as possible lately. I'm currently battling lower leg problems that I'm starting to think might be a stress fracture. I work a rotating shift & spend a lot of time with my son.

2007 RACES: I Ran a 5K 2 minutes faster than my goal.

2008 RACES:  I plan on competing in 2 sprints & 2 running events this year.

WEIGHTLOSS: I lost 35lbs last year, gained 10lbs back after Thanksgiving, but have since lost the extra weight.

I would love to join this group. I am unconventional, but dedicated. It would be tough for me to impliment a training program & frankly I'm just looking to get my feet wet this year & put my injuries behind me.

Yep you can sign up for FL catcher and I will cross! Luckily the med tent there will be closer than IM Lou!! As far as bikes I like the Queen K, Several of the Cervelos, and of course I cannot leave out the planet X! But right now the new P2C fullultegra for 2500 then I would take the durace off my bike switch them and then add a power meter and some racwe wheels!!!But of course whatever fits is what I will choose!

2008 RACES:  My A race is IMFL. I will do the Atomic Half to lead up to it. I will also be doing Memphis in May(OLY), Mach Tenn Sprint, Mcminnville(Sprint), Chatanooga(OLY), Monster(sprint). And I may add a few more as well still in the works

WEIGHTLOSS: My goal is to lose 70 pounds between now and the end of the year. My main reason is of course health and speed the other to help motivate me more my fiance will buy me up to 5K worth of bike if I can do this. So lots of other motivation. 

So should I sign up now to work the finish at the IMFL?  To fill everyone else in, Chris was the one who caught me at the Ironman Louisville finish line.

Weightloss for a sweet new ride?  Where do I sign up!?!  You're a very lucky man.  Any consideration as to what you might get?

Can I join?!

Thanks!  I am definitely going to throw myself in the pool more and if all goes well then maybe I will try for an '08 triathlon.  Logging my nutrition is also a good idea - like you, I think that I might be surprised.

 The Marine Corps Marathon is indeed a great race!  I am originally from the DC area so running my first marathon in that area was definitely special.  I want to run in it again this year because I loved the course and so that I can beat my time!
