Regular ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hope this is the right place to sign up for your mentor program. I've read your logs for 2 seasons now and I think it's great you started a mentor program. I started reading your logs awhile back cause you were local. I live in Rowlett. You and Stephen also go back and forth which is great to read and watch results. I've done 3 seasons of tri's which have been mainly sprints with a couple of Oly's thrown in. Mostly due to family and work I train when I can squeeze it in. My current issue is motivation. Just had a new daughter born and it's been 4 months now. I was thinking signing up for something like this may help. Also I feel like I've hit a wall. I'm thinking of trying a HIM in 2010, but just don't know if I want to commit to that. I rather like sprints/Oly's. thanks for your time. There is a lot more, but don't want to scare you off. David |

![]() | ![]() Welcome to the group Kahne and straydog. I don't really need anything from you just to make sure you keep up with your logs, ask any questions you may have. I'd also like to know your real name. Welcome to triathlon and hope you like it. Good effort today David, that was a solid group. |

![]() | ![]() Welcome to the group muddycreek!! just ask any questions you may have. You may want to look for an "expert" in your area to help you with your swim. So look around for that, also watching some you tube will help as well such as the Dave Scott videos. Swimming is my weakness as well, I will be hitting it hard in mid-January. |

Member![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Would like to jump in if there is still room... Im a newbie to the sport, just about to finish the couch to sprint program and havent died yet... matter of fact least ive felt sore, injured or fatigued from a sport ever. Still trying to figure out which events i want to accomplish this year... Two that I want on the list are the memphis in may oly and chicago oly. Otherwise there are several local sprints that sound like fun. I have been fairly active since youth, but as of late work and family have slowed down my efforts and I am up about 25 lbs from where I would like to be.... Family: Married with two kids (16 and 14) Current Training: Week 9 couch to sprint program. Thanks! Mike |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Ok so a little about me. I am a retiree from the U.S. Navy having served 20 years in the Submarine service during that time I did very little as far a sports Racquet ball and running 1.5 miles 2 times per year was it for most of it. Around 1995 I started running a few miles and finally built up to a 15k race in Jacksonville Fl. After retirement in 2001 I went from a low of 165 to 196 pounds in 2006 to me a triathlon was Beer, Ice cream, and Potato chips, That was when I decided I needed to make a change or I would be dead of a heart attack in just a few more years. 2006 I finished 2 tris Heritage days and Burnett, 2007 I did my first and oly Olympic the Texasman followed by my first half marathon in November, and first marathon January first 2008. Unfortunately in the buildup form half to full Marathon I added a large dose of core as well a rapid increase in running volume which resulted in a torn abdominal muscle and very sore left knee. 2008 was a lack luster year as I refused to allow injuries to heal and my attitude took a big dive. 2009 was a second poor year due to lack of good training, inability to stick to a plan, and poor attitude, many of my old habits have returned I am up to 193 pounds and drink way too much for a Triathlete. Oh I have also found a liking to fast food double cheeseburgers. Ok enough of that.. Monday the 21st of December starts my 2010 season with the following goals. Heritage days sprint 1:32:15 last year’s time 1:56. 5k race sub 25, 10k sub 55, Austin half Iron goal 6:40, and Texas marathon Jan 1 2011 sub 4:30. To do this I need to drop nearly 20 pounds swim 1000 yard in about 17 min, ride 20 miles @ 20 mph, and stick to a training plan. Ok that me. |

After meeting you and seeing how much you smoked the Ironstar course I thought you would be a great mentor. after reading many of your post and seeing your logs, I know you are a student of the sport and that makes the best teacher. I am looking forward to your advice this year. I have the best teaching job on earth. I have a very rewarding job of teaching PE k-4th at a school in Conroe. |

![]() | ![]() CBarnes - 2009-12-20 8:14 PM Hey Cliff,I hope Lance doesn't mind me using him as an example, but when off-season came I told him it was ok to slack off the diet some well he gained 10 pounds. I meant it would be ok to gain a few but not get into double digits Ok so a little about me.

![]() | ![]() TriPatrick - 2009-12-20 8:45 PM Ironstar is a fun course, I almost didn't do it this year because I was going to do Clearwater, but after BSLT I turned down the spot since you have to pay upfront that night and I wanted to get faster, so this year I hope to be financially ready and faster triritter - 2009-12-20 7:47 PM TriPatrick - 2009-12-20 7:27 PM Lets get it on.

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Looks like there is a little room left for me... First, thanks to Will for taking this on. A little about me: I currently reside in Fort Worth with my wife and two furry children (canines ![]() St. Patty's Day Triathlon in March 2008 was my first triathlon. During 2008 I did five sprints, including one close to my hometown of Midland (took 1st in AG, of course I was the only one in my AG!). 2008 also included four half marathons and finished up with my first marathon (6:30:00, yucky time but I finished.) 2009 brought on more challenges for me as my plan included my first sprint duathlon, first Olympic triathlon, and Half Iron Distance triathlon. My first HIM was a great experience, it was seven and half hours of fun for me, and I am being honest about it being fun. One motto I like to say to myself is, "I may be slow but I finish!". The 2010 plan adds many large opportunities for me. It includes doing the Ironman Lonestar 70.3 in April and Ironman Arizona in November. A big part of what I am looking for is accountability to maintain consistent workouts according to my plan and to remind me to log my nutrition each day. Here's to triing. Scott |

![]() | ![]() smeador - 2009-12-20 8:58 PMLooks like there is a little room left for me... Your name is familiar. Have we met? I think I've seen your name on facebook around some other people I know. I do some training in Fort Worth from time to time since my coach Brent Poulsen lives out there. Your race plan this year is solid for this year. So make sure you are logging your nutrition to EVERYTHING!!! I know it will be hard this time of year but it is off - season so don't get too strict but I don't over do it either. Cheers! We are up to 8 people, awesome. First, thanks to Will for taking this on.

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hallo All! I'm Bear, and 2010 will be my 3rd year of TRIing, only having done one the first year and 5 last year. I am in the Navy and about to deploy for 6 months on a carrier. I will be bringing my bike trainer and be able to use the treadmill, but if I'm swimming, something has gone horribly wrong. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Ahhh, the intros. Forgot! This is my fifth year doing triathlon. So far I've done nothing but sprints. Last year I scheduled a couple of longer races but got injured, so I'm a little gun shy about getting too ambitious again, though I will certainly keep it on my radar. I just finished doing White Rock HM and bettered my previous time (2006) by 25 minutes and I was really happy with that. (I love running more in the cold weather--hate it in the hot! But I will try to keep with it more even as the season progresses.) Running has always been my weakness so I'm glad to see it slowly getting stronger. Other than that, I am a college professor at a junior college, married with five furry babies: cats Junior, Rocko, and Missy, and two dogs Buddy and Heidi. |

![]() | ![]() Bearintheair2000 - 2009-12-20 9:24 PM Cool. Did you see that guy on from the Ironman World Championships that was in the Navy and had his bike trainer set up and run on the treadmill? So be sure you are looking into that guy and seeing how he trained for the swimming that uses similar muscle groups. Not sure how much it would help though, you will need to find similar movements. Your schedule looks good, you may depending try adding a couple of sprints to keep some speed. Other than it looks good and not too much. I want you logging nutrition as well from every little thing you put in your mouth. Ok? You should be able to be down to 180 next year. Good luck! Hallo All! I'm Bear, and 2010 will be my 3rd year of TRIing, only having done one the first year and 5 last year. I am in the Navy and about to deploy for 6 months on a carrier.
