Champion  7233    |  Subject: Newbz'z summer mentor group is FULL!!!!NAME: Newbz/David STORY: I'm just a young guy trying to make it in this crazy world. I'm currently living and working in philly, working as a freelance photographer, triathlon, and rowing coach. For those of you that know rowing/philly at all i coach out of vesper boat club. I came into triathlon 5 years ago at the age of 18 after hurting myself rowing, and looking for a new outlet sports wise stumbled on triathlon. i've been hooked ever since and am starting into my 5th season this spring. FAMILY STATUS: Have a wonderful g/f that also races triathlons. CURRENT TRAINING: currently sitting on roughly 15 hours a week, slowly building into the season, with a focus on short course (sprint and olympic distances). THIS YEAR'S RACES SO FAR: so far i've run 5 running races this year, done relatively well for me, and had a blast. my tri season kicks off in two weeks:-) 2010 RACES: miami sprint tri, little smokies half IM, toyota half IM, american TTT NC, rest of schedule TBD WEIGHTLOSS: 3 more pounds to go WHAT WILL MAKE ME A GOOD MENTOR: I love coaching and working with other athletes even more than i like racing myself, and i think that i have a lot of experience to draw from and help share with others. That said, and part of what makes a forum like this great, is that we can all bounce ideas off each other, and collectively learn more than with just one or two people talking. Lets start this season off right, all ages, experience levels, and guys and girls welcome!! Edited by newbz 2010-04-07 9:25 AM |

| Expert 950 Ann Arbor | Subject: RE: Newbz'z summer mentor group is open!!!! I would like to join please! NAME: Carl STORY: I'm a freshman at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. I'm a member of the triathlon team here. I have been multisport training and racing since June of 2009. I have a small amount of running experience and 2 years of swimming experience. I'm relatively new to triathlon but I spend as much time as possible gaining as much knowledge as possible when it comes to training and racing. FAMILY STATUS: Single! However, I do have two parents, a sister, and a dog. CURRENT TRAINING: 6-10 hours for the past 4 months. Will bump up significantly for the summer. THIS YEAR'S RACES SO FAR: OSU Indoor Triathlon 2010 RACES: USAT Collegiate National Championship, Lubbock Texas 4/17/2010 Burns Park Run 10k, Ann Arbor Michigan 5/2/2010 Triceratops Triathlon(Trex series #1), Brighton Michigan 6/23/2010 Steelhead 70.3, Benton Harbor Michigan 7/31/2010 T-Rex Tirathlon (Trex series #3), Brighton Michigan 8/18/2010 Big House Big Heart 10k, Ann Arbor Michigan 10/3/2010 MSU Collegiate Sprint, Lansing Michigan Date:TBA Detroit Free Press Marathon 10/17/10 This summer I am looking forward to training and improving myself as much as I can.

Veteran 275 | Subject: RE: Newbz'z summer mentor group is open!!!! ok a Bio... You talked me into it  NAME: Stefanier/ Stefanie... Yeah I know my screenname is really original STORY: Well let's see... I am 28 years old and in my second season of triathlon. Married for almost 4 years and luckily my husband is also into triathlons. I started running back in March 2007 after deciding I wanted to run a marathon. It took me almost 2 years to accomplish my marathon goal but I started tri training that same week. LOL I am ambitious. Triathlon was a much more natural progression for me as I really enjoy swimming. I competed in 5 triathlons last season and have 5 scheduled this season. Keep my logs on here updated daily and also log my activity on breakingthetape.com and sporttracker. FAMILY STATUS: My husband is wonderful and is also my training partner. However, I might mention that he is just about a foot taller than I am and is extremely more talented than I am. Lets just say I get insanely jealous at times, in a good but probably unhealthy way. CURRENT TRAINING: Currently I am using the BT free HIM Training plan. That means 9 workouts a week in 6 days (I love and need my rest day). Currently 3 workouts a week per sport. I would love to add in some core work and strenght training if I ever had the time. 2010 RACES: 2 Half Marathons completed so far and an assorment of other distance running races I am planning a super late Half marathon to see if I can hit a PR (Chicamauga in Nov) But really my focus for the year is triathon Triathlon Wise 6.27.10- Irongirl Atlanta (Sprint) 7.11.10- Chattanooga Waterfront Olympic 8.21.10- Tri PTC (Sprint) 9.26.10- Augusta 70.3 10.31.10- Tri Cooter (Sprint) WEIGHTLOSS: Weight has always been a struggle but I am finally to a place where it does not bother me. I currently sit at 150 at 5'4 and have held that exact weight for over a year. I would like to lose another 15 lbs but honestly I really would like to focus more on toning that necessairly a number. If I could be a tone and muscule 150, i would be way ok with that. Prior to my weight loss, I weighted over 200lbs but have worked to take and keep it off. My weight loss journey has been 5 years in the making. WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR OUT OF MY MENTOR EXPERIENCE: I am a fairly open book and am on the computer frequently, so expect to see me often. In addition to BT, I also blog as a way to give back to the athletic community and to keep family, friends and the blogging world updated. I encourage as much as I ask questions. Honestly I need support, motivation, guidance, push (Etc) from this group. My husband tries so hard to give me advice and guidance but I am wickedly competitive with him for no reason really. Needless to say it doesn't always make for the best of training sessions. Edited by stefanier 2010-04-06 10:50 PM |

If you have not been around for this conversation i rowed for a long time, coach now. to everyone else, welcome!! At this rate this may be the first time my group has filled up in one day. Nice! I rowed at Washington State '96-2000. Lightweight, 8+ and 4+....port, seat 2, and would sometimes stroke the 4. Loved it! Looking at being "somewhat" involved in the Nashville Rowing Club (just moved here in December), but not sure i have the time to do it all. Wouldn't hurt my endurance, thats for sure. Where did you row? |

| Subject: RE: Newbz'z summer mentor group is open!!!! NAME: Jason 2010 REMAINING RACES: 2 Olys, 4 OWS, 1 marathon, a marathon readiness series (15k, 20k, 25k, 30k, HM) which won't be done at race effort, and possibly a century ride. WEIGHT LOSS: I could lose about 10 more pounds of fat, but I like to keep happy and balance my life with a few beers, a few cookies, and some fatty beef from time to time. I also wouldn't mind shedding a few pounds of upper body muslce that is just bulk from my weight lifting days...I could bench press 300 pounds at one point...what for...I have no idea. WHAT WILL MAKE ME A GOOD MENTEE: I have a lot to learn, and am a vacuum for new knowledge. I'm addicted to the sport, and wake up every morning looking forward to training. |

| 14 | Subject: RE: Newbz'z summer mentor group is open!!!! I sure would love to join! My name is Jarrod Experience- absolutely none! I was a wrestler in high school, and never really liked running. My dad died of cancer in Seotember and decided it was time to once again focus on something not only productive, but healthy as well. Today is my 39th day without a cigarette! I started running again about 6 weeks ago after about a year off, and ran my first 10k last week, beating my goal of 1 hour. I am running a half marathon on May 8th to raise money for multiple myeloma, the cancer my dad died from. I have scheduled my first sprint tri on June 27th. Just started riding bikes again, and feel very comfortable. NEED HELP with swimming! Marital Status: Great g/f and two amazing Italian Greyhounds Goal:Get back down to 8% body fat, complete my first tri in under 90 minutes, and to compete in 4 tri's this year. AS WELL as make friends here and in the sport! So, am I in the group?? |
