FAMILY STATUS: Married with one son.
THIS YEAR'S RACES: Did a couple of sprints, half irons, some 5Ks and a half marathon..... 2009 RACES: Not sure what the upcoming season will bring! WEIGHTLOSS: Just trying to stay fit and at a healthy weight. my main thing isnt the number on a scale but rather how my clothes fit and how I feel. WHAT WILL MAKE ME A GOOD MENTOR: Been there done that, been a FOP, been a MOP and also had a DNF in 2009...... Edited by djdavey 2009-12-19 1:47 PM |

2010 RACES: 6 triathlons from April to November, which includes maybe ending the year with the B2b half iron. A couple of 10k, and 10 milers. Focus on getting slimmer, and faster. WEIGHTLOSS: Get back to the plan. It's not easy, but I know what to do, and I like the results. When I'm on the wagon, I use livestrong.com to track my eating, and it works great. Maybe I need a minder. WHAT WILL MAKE ME A GOOD MENTEE: I've seen "The Distance" I want to be an honorary Donkee! |

Veteran 245 Nevada City with my BABY! | Subject: RE: DJDavey's group - OPEN NAME: Sweetcorn (Sarah) STORY: Grew up playing Softball. Started to run when I joined the AF. Ran in a few 5Ks over the years. The Hawaii 10 miler when I was TDY there in 99 was the farthest I had ever run. Started to run again in Iraq with my Husband and did the Army 10 miler there. I also competed in a Bodybuilding/Figure Competition while in Iraq and won my division. I did my first Tri in Minnesota in Aug 2008. It was a sprint that I completed with my step-mom’s Hybrid bike that had a bell and mirror (time = 2 hrs +). I ran 3 full marathons in the month of October 2008 when I turned 30. 2009 was my first “real” tri season in which I completed a tri at least twice a month through the summer. FAMILY STATUS: Married - Newlywed 2010 RACES: Nothing on the books yet WEIGHTLOSS: toning… WHAT WILL MAKE ME A GOOD MENTEE: I need the motivation to get the workout in…but I am a great motivator too… |

Expert 1007 NW NJ | Subject: RE: DJDavey's group - OPEN Dave, Can I get in on your group? I initially tried to join another mentor group, but there has been no communication from the mentor since he opened up hig group. I recognized your name from The Distance DVD, andnoticed you were very responsive to the others who asked to join your group. Here is my brief bio... My name is Brian, I am coming off my 1st season of triathalon. in 2009, I completed 3 sprint tri's, a 5K and 10K. This year I am planing on running a Half Marathon, 2 olympics, a few local sprints and a 70.3 to close out the season in October. A little about me. I am married with a 3 year old son and a yellow lab. I transitioned into triathalon from weightlifting last spring due to a shoulder injury. I got into weightlifting and excercise in general for the sole purpose of weight loss/maitnance. I am 5'10' and currently 204lbs. I fluctuate like Oprah between 230 - 195. It sucks, but I love food, when not doing triathalon, I compete in BBQ competitions! they are two difficult hobbies to balance! I have lofty goals for 2010 and I'd like to join a group of athletes to bounce ideas off of, vent and gain knowledge, share any knowledge I may have gained during my 1st season competing and mostly to be able to talk to people who can relate. I'd love to join your group, I hope you have some space for me. -Brian |

Expert 1007 NW NJ | Subject: RE: DJDavey's group - OPEN Thanks Dave! I hope I didn't insult with the 2nd choice, the whole lack of response was a turnoff and I am hoping to be in a group that fosters open communication and obviously I'm in the right place! 18 mos is when things really start to get fun, enjoy it! I'm looking forward to working with you. -B |

Extreme Veteran 360 San Luis Obispo County, CA | Subject: RE: DJDavey's group - OPEN Nice job on your B2b Sarah!! Nice to see another vet. And I'll join with Davey in thanking you for your service. I was also stationed in Hawaii, but from '85-86. Hated to leave, but the next assignment in Colorado was nice. I was in for 10 years. DC was 29F and windy today, I don't know how you guys up in Wisconsin deal with it, but I wimped out and hit the treadmill today. I'm still trying to figure out how not to overdress or underdress. I also started the 100 pushup, sit-up and squat challenge this week. I really need to build some core strength. I'm just doing the 100 thingy until I decide what I really should be doing. I like DJDavey's logs how he always manages to do "absandcoreandstuff" pretty regularly. I'm still struggling with what should be doing for some strength routines and how to factor that in. |

New user 5 | Subject: RE: DJDavey's group - OPEN Dave, My name is Jesselyn and I would like to be a part of your mentoring group. Im 26 years old and live in Northern Virginia, although I am currently spending my weekdays in NYC for work. Just a quick bio now since Im at work, Ill write more later. I swam in high school ran track in college and played soccer after graduation. I blew out my knee playing on turf a couple years ago, had an unsuccessful surgery on my knee and a year later had to have it done again, and am working my way back to running as well as I would like to. I still have problems with my knee (mostly because Im stubborn and run on it too much when it feels good, leading to it feeling lousy again). So this winter, Im planning on spending most of my time in the pool and on the bike. My "running" work will be on the elliptical for the most part as I continue to do my rehabbing exercises. Last season, I did two sprint races on a mountain bike. I was excited to race when I bought a road bike, and then had to travel for work, so that killed my training and I didnt get to use it in any races. This season, Im doing a HIM aqua bike in July, an Olympic in August and September, and some sprints in the beginning of the season. Im hoping that by August, my knee will be all set to run on. Im hoping that this mentoring group can help me develop a solid training plan through the winter. Im a pretty good swimmer, have the least experience on the bike, and am working back to form on my running. This group will also help motivate me knowing that other people are looking in on me and keeping me on course. Im looking forward to getting to know everyone. |

| 50 | Subject: RE: DJDavey's group - OPEN Looks like I will try and jump in to an active group here. My name is Jacob. I have thought about being a triathlete for awhile, even through college. I have swam my entire life, through college and coach swimming now. I can ride the bike pretty decent but running is my downfall. It appears everyone here can run, so im hoping to learn a thing or 2 about running. I am 24 and have a 4 yr old daughter. My goals for this summer are definitely shedding some pounds, doing a sprint, at least one oly, and then compete and complete the deer creek HIM. I competed in a sprint when I was in college, but couldnt for the life of me tell you my time, we were just there to have a good time. My current training has literally just started this week. I am going to be in a 5k on the 1st so I figured I better get to it. My bosses asked me if I would run with them, and I cant be shown up by 2 old guys lol. Im hoping to run under 30 mins.

New user 5 | Subject: RE: DJDavey's group - OPEN My weekend training is definitely going to be inside due to the blizzard that they are calling for! I hope to get into the pool both days but we'll see if that happens. Most likely a good amount of biking too.. I'm starting to get a little tired of the stationary bikes at the gym, how much better is it to be using a trainer on your own bike? I'm kind of hoping for a trainer for christmas but if not I may just have to treat myself after christmas.. haha |
