| Veteran 170 | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Open I would like to join your group! I am planning on my first HIM in September so I will probably need some guidance in terms of how to train for something like that. I am currently recovering from Achilles tendintis and haven't been able to run for about two months. Mostly been doing swimming and Jorge's cycling plan. |

| Regular 176 | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Open Hi- I would like to join as well. I am new to triathlon (one sprint last year) but was lucky enough to get into IM WI in 2011. I also have the Mooseman 70.3 in June on my schedule, so it will be an exciting, full year. I have a family with two little one's as well, so juggling time will be front an center. I grew up in southern WI and know the conditions pretty well! Thanks and happy holidays! ~J |

It is exciting to have some new people doing their first long triathlon. I have done Jorge's cycling plan, it is great. I should be able to give you some tips in putting a plan together. Hope your recovery is going well. |

If you haven't looked at it yet, it is a good idea to start using the BT training logs. They are great for tracking your workout and planning your year. |

Master 1303 Mishicot, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Open Hi everyone, I thought I would share some of my background and maybe everyone can do the same! Name: crea0029/ Pam Status: I am a 25 year old living at home as I try to get my associates degree in nursing. I currently work for a local psychiatric hospital in the peds impatient unit as a counselor. So I guess that means I am really busy between all three! Story: I started into triathlons 6 years ago after reading the book Slow Fat Triathlete by Jayne Williams. I started out slow with just sprints and 5K and 10K and have progressively worked up to longer distances. I attempted Ironman WI in 2009 and unfortunately DNF'ed out of the bike around mile 70 or so. I spent last year rebuilding my love for triathlons and putting some distance work under my belt. 2010 Achievements: I finished the Walt Disney World Marathon in Jan making that my first marathon ever! I also set PR's at my local olympic distance, Race the Lake (90 miles bike race) and Door County HIM. At the HIM I crashed my bike 50 miles into the bike, got back up and finished still setting a PR and later found out I cracked my helmet at impact! In October, I ran the Lakefront Marathon in Milwaukee and bettered my marathon time by 45 minutes! I have also over the past year lost 42 pounds! 2011 Goals: My big goal is to FINISH what I started in 2009 with crossing the finish line at Ironman WI. I will also do an early season marathon (Cellcom) a couple of other triathlons including Door County HIM and Race the Lake. I have kind of build my own plan with some guidance from an area coach and knowing my weakness and what I really need in order to finish. The big key for me will be time management and making sure to do every single workout I need to do! I look forward to having the support of the mentor group in the beginning of the season. I was planning on running a group of my own, but I figure it would be better to not add to the stuff I need to do this year! |

I have a busy year with a Marathon, 4 century rides and 3 Tris (2 sprints and an Oly) Depending on how well the year goes may do another Marathon at the end of the season.

Since you are a good biker, It might be a good idea to work our your weaker sports over the winter. Having a treadmill and access to a pool will make that easier. For those that want to loose some weight we could start a once a week weigh-in. |

Looks like from the marathon and the century rides you shouldn't have any trouble with your triathlons. How is your swimming? I can't see your training logs, not sure if you meant to do that. |

The bike course at Wis is a killer, there are some tough hills. I thought the run course was nice. Being all downtown there is a lot to look at and a lot of people to keep things exciting. I did it back in '06 the year it rained all day. I also did the Lakefront Marathon this past year. That was a nice race, good place for a PR. I haven't done Door County, but the next time a I do a HIM, thats where it will be. I usually do the 1/2 marathon in Green Bay every year. If I don't make it to Florance for the trail marathon this year I will probably do Green Bay. |

Veteran 149 | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Open Swimming is my weak sport. This time last year I could swim (if you call doggie paddling swimming) the length of the pool one time. I plan on posting my logs starting the new year. Thanks for the reminder. |

New user 3 Madison, WI | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Open Hi, I would be very grateful if I could join your mentor group! My "A" race for 2011 is also IM WI. I started this journey about 5 years ago after being a spectator at IM WI and resolving that I would be a participant the year I turned 50. This summer I finished my first half IM in Racine and decided to continue chasing this crazy dream. Advice and encouragement would be greatly appreciated and I will try and be a infallible cheerleader in return! Merriann |

Extreme Veteran 1329 Wausau WI | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Open Before I joined a triathlon forum, I didn't think I would ever be able to do an IM. After reading a lot of race reports of IM finishers and seeing they are regular athletes like us I wanted to give it a try. The work of an IM takes place in the months of training, when race day arrives it is time to enjoy the whole IM experience. I used the book, "Be Iron Fit" to set up my training. I did my long run on Saturday and long bike on Sunday. Depending on your schedule you can change them around to fit your needs. For those that have families, I got up early in the morning to do my workout to cut down on the time away from them. For those that can get to Madison, it is easy to find group rides on the course just about every weekend. Try to keep up on your logs so others can see them and encourage you. Those that are training for a fall race, January is a good time to work on your weaker sport. Those that have an early spring marathon will be doing a lot of running now. Even though I should be doing some swimming now, I am training for a 50K ski race in February so I am doing a lot of skiing and running. I will add a little biking on off days and some weight training. If you are not doing it, this is a good time to do some weights. When you are trying to get 3x each sport it is harder to weight train. Some people think since they are training for an HIM or IM that you can eat what every you want, so they eat more and can gain weight while training. So be careful, power bars can have a lot of calories. So good luck all and ask a lot of questions. |

| Member 30 Greenville, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Open My name is Brad. I am a 49 year old physical therapist from Greenville, SC who specializes in sportsmedicine. I have a lovely (and very understanding) wife of 20 years and we have three teenagers. A son and 2 daughters. Unfortunately none of them have an interest in triathlon. I have been involved in triathlons for the last 8 years with 3 70.3 races (Florida twice and Augusta) under my belt. Over the last 2 years however, my racing and training have been limited by injury. The latest was a microfracture on my knee which kept me out of running for 8 months. Now I feel I can finally start training again. Over the last 2 months I have been strength training 3 days a week and doing a small amount of running/swimming/cylcing. Once the New Year rolls along I will start to increase my activity. The only things on my race calendar at this moment are a 1/2 marathon in late April, the Clemson Triathlon in mid May, an international distance race in mid June and my A race, IM Wisconsin, in Sept. This will be my first time at the IM distance. My week points are my swim and my nutrition during the race, both of which I plan to address during my preparation for IM Wisconsin. I look forward to taking this journey with each of you. |
