Member  175   Indianapolis |  Subject: Stickyrunner01's Group - The bus is FULL!edit, Group closed 12/25/2010 at 8:30pm est START MENTORING CONSISTENTLY: Now, 12/21/2010 NAME: Stickyrunner01 - Donald (Tom) Williams BACKGROUND: Running was in my family, so I followed in those footsteps. I ran competitively in High School, where I also played soccer. Graduated in 2005. Enrolled at Marian College (Indianapolis) on an athletic scholarship for Cross Country and Track. Struggled with injuries, had knee surgery in Nov, 2006. I did not rehab properly and found myself not interested in running. Took up cycling in 2007. Did RAIN and fell in love. Fast forward to 2010, bought a new bike from T3 Multisport in Indianapolis and over the course of 2 months, they talked me into doing some triathlons. I did my first Tri, without any specific training, on July 10, 2010. It was the first time I had ran in close to a year and swam in quite a few. It was painful, but I LOVED every second of it. Well, maybe not EVERY  . Went on to compete in 1 more Sprint, 1 Olympic, 2 HIM, and more running races. Tri has gotten me back to a point in my life where I love to be active. Also, I still attend Marian. Although, we are now a University!FAMILY STATUS: Girlfriend. CURRENT TRAINING: My training right now is not very structured. It's on my bucket list for 2011. I would like to be more consistent moving forward. THIS YEAR'S RACES: As previously mentioned, I went from only cycling, to completing multiple triathlon's and running races. 5:08 HIM at the Austin 70.3. 2011 RACES: New Orleans 70.3, Muncie 70.3, Patriot's Half (or 70.3 WC), SC Rev3 Olympic 2011 GOALS: Use triathlon's to raise money for a local charity. Also, I would LOVE to qualify for the 70.3 WC's in Vegas. My time goal's for 2011 are sub 4:30 HIM and sub 2:12 Olympic. WEIGHT-LOSS: No weight-loss goal, however, I would like to work on being a healthier person. Beginning with my diet. WHAT WILL MAKE ME A GOOD MENTOR: I believe I would be a good mentor because I am a positive person who believes that the mind is in control of the body. If you believe that you can do something, you can. I am a positive person whom loves to be active. With my history of injuries, I understand that it is a long road back to health and I believe that most of us are here to become more healthy, active people. I also believe that another strong suit of mine would be my ability to admit my faults and willingness to learn from those faults. I enjoy being involved with a group and strive to be involved as much as possible. I would hope that we can help each other in 2011. EXPECTATIONS OF MYSELF: I expect myself to help lead positive discussions, with timely responses, that lead to motivation, encouragement, and fun. I also expect myself to keep an honest and up-to-date training log with more than just numbers. I expect to share my love for the sport of Triathlon by becoming more involved with the community! EXPECTATIONS OF YOU: Be involved. Post, Update, Discuss. Edited by Stickyrunner01 2010-12-25 7:30 PM |

Master 1623  | Subject: RE: Stickyrunner01's Group - OPEN I'd like to join!! Name: Emmanem/Emma Story: Never was the athletic one in the family but was really big on horseback riding in high school. When I got to college I had to give that up and struggled with it for a while. Then the idea of doing a triathlon got into my head last year and I started training a year ago. I did my first tri in May and am looking forward to doing many more. Family Status: I have a bf of 5+ years. Current Training: Hoping to get a good run and bike base this winter and my swimming needs a good bit of work. The bf and I are hoping to complete a half marathon in 2011 and I would like to complete an olympic or HIM in 2011. 2010 Races: Sprint Tri in May and several 5ks and 2 10ks 2011 Races: Still looking at what I want to do. I am graduating from Clemson in May and starting Grad school in the fall so until I know where I'll end up in August I'm not sure what races I want to do over the summer and early fall. Weightloss: Want to lose about 15 more lbs by the time I graduate in May and want to eat healthier than I do. Goals for 2011: I want to run a half marathon with my bf, remain consistent in my training and decide on then complete either an olympic tri or HIM. |

Member 40 South Jersey | Subject: RE: Stickyrunner01's Group - OPEN NAME: Lastwachter - Ryan Wachter (28)d BACKGROUND: I wasn't too athletic in High School or College, I played a little soccer but that was about it. In 2008 the Philadelphia Humane League (I'm a vegetarian) wanted runners for a team to run in the Philadelphia Full and Half Marathon, so I started training and ran the half. I continued to run (with no type of training) on and off for a year or so until last year when I really started to take it more seriously. While I have yet to participate in a triathlon I am extremely interested and looking forward to it in 2011 as well as really pushing my running as well. FAMILY STATUS: Married. CURRENT TRAINING:The BT Marathon training plan. THIS YEAR'S RACES: (10) 5ks, (2) 10ks 2011 RACES: New Jersey Marathon (May 1st) Philadelphia Marathon (Nov) where I hope to qualify for Boston. After May 1st I plan to start entering triathlons as well. First sprint and go from there. 2011 GOALS: By the end of 2011 I want to qualify for Boston, take my 5k times into the 18's and have a few triathlons under my belt. WEIGHT-LOSS: No weight-loss goal. I have focused a lot on eating correctly as a vegetarian athlete this year. |

Regular 104 | Subject: RE: Stickyrunner01's Group - OPEN NAME: Dreaming80-jessica Nyberg BACKGROUND: While in the Navy I took to running for weight maintainence, after baby number one, I gained ALOT of weight. (2001) After some major life changes and topping off the scales at 220lbs, (5'8 female here) I began to change my lifestyle very slowly. In 2006 I lost 75lbs and finally started to get back into shape. In 2009 baby number two came along and though I exercised 4-5 days/week during the pregnancy I still gained major weight...so I spent the better part of 2010 trying to exercise and diet myself back to the size I can maintain. I started running again, and doing some exercise dvds, I did a 5k in july and this motivated me to race, I then found some info about triathlons, started training and now I'm hooked!! FAMILY STATUS: married (living separate from hubby, it is a long story) and two girls, a 9yr old and a 1 1/2 year old. CURRENT TRAINING: Right now I am starting month two of the INSANITY dvds, so I am still swimming (with a coach) 2-3xs a week and running at least 4-5 xs per week (very short distance due to the insanity) Not biking  I haven't figured out a way to do this without freezing to death)THIS YEAR'S RACES: First triathlon, San Diego US Women's series, sprint. a couple 5ks and a local sprint tri (where I was first for women lol out of like 10! but stil...  .2011 RACES: Definately San Diego, Us Women's series sprint and can't decide if I want to do a sprint or oly in wichita ks....a couple 5ks and a half mary in OK city. 2011 GOALS: Keep racing for good causes for sure and also getting some olympic distance races done, but I really want to work on my sprint times and become more competitive for at least age group... (i'm close,just not close enough lol) WEIGHT-LOSS: Those last 10 lbs!!!! Keep my diet healthy and become happy with my post baby body . Hey all! I am excited to see where my new blossoming triathlon training will lead me. I do not have internet at home at this time, I check it regularly on my phone and at work when I'm not busy, so I do keep my training logs up to date but I might lag on posting replies, but at least once a day |

| Subject: RE: Stickyrunner01's Group - OPEN If you're still taking people, I'd love to be in! NAME: music3196/ Angela
BACKGROUND: I raced my first sprint triathlon Summer ’07, but with going off to college I have slipped off the exercise wagon. A few friends have talked about racing this summer, and I’m excited to get back in shape again. I wasn’t a very athletic kid, always on the chubby side, but started getting into shape playing high school volleyball, then switched to triathlon after ankle problems made it too difficult to keep jumping. Now I’m a college sophomore, so the biggest struggle is consistency and not letting workouts slide when my schedule gets crazy.
FAMILY STATUS: Single
CURRENT TRAINING: Just trying to get back into consistent workout schedule, focusing on gaining pacing and endurance skills on the run. Using the BeginnerTriathlete 2x Balanced Sprint Plan
2011 RACES: At least one sprint- probably Cleveland Tri (unless an internship end up putting me somewhere else for the summer) as well as a few 5k’s
2011 GOALS: Under 2:00 for the sprint (my 07 time was 2:10) and ability to run a whole 5k without stopping (last time I ended up walking a good portion of it)
WEIGHT-LOSS: Volleyball got me down from my highest around 180, and now I’ve been sitting at about 150-155 for a few years. No specific weight loss goal- just getting fit and if any weight comes off, I won’t complain. |

Expert 1249 MI | Subject: RE: Stickyrunner01's Group - OPEN Hi! I'd like to join this group! NAME: Samantha BACKGROUND: Have been wanting to get into triathlons for some time, finally got around to having my first season this past summer. Did a bunch of sprints and (for the most part) continually saw consistent improvements, which is always encouraging and exciting. The season ended with disappointment however. Days before my last race of the season, for the first time I felt a weird twinge in my right hamstring. I figured it was just taper madness and ignored it. Well, it would come back to bite me race day. It was an HIM distance race, and half way through the run- PAIN down my right leg's hamstrings, and I was forced to walk the rest of the "run." I am still not fully recovered from it today (race was on 9/11). I believe the hamstring may be pretty much recovered, but my groin area (right leg only) is not (-which I believe was an underlying cause to the hamstring issue. On some long bike rides during the summer I remember feeling a nagging feeling in the groin area but it was never a problem so I thought nothing of it.) Sometimes if I walk a lot, I feel this discomfort, which to me tells me it's not full recovered. I want it to be fully recovered before I start getting back into running or biking, so I am just focused on swimming right now. Also trying to get around to lift weights now and then. Anyway, sorry about that long blurb about my injury!! Basically, I'm hoping to get back into tri training soon (bike/run), but do not want to do it before I am fully healed! Also, sometimes it gets sad when I think about the possibility of not doing triathlons next season. I just feel my groin area might just continue to nag and never fully heal. FAMILY STATUS: Single. CURRENT TRAINING: Started getting back into working out regularly again in the past few weeks. I aim to swim 4-5 times a week. 2010 RACES: 5k run, half marathon, 5k open water swim, 4 sprints, and one race with a distance of 70.0 miles- swim was cut short. 2011 RACES: Honestly, at the moment I just really am not sure if I'll be in a position to run/bike enough because of the injury. So the only real race I can say there's a high probability I'd do is the same 5k open water swim I did last year. *Hoping* I will be fully recovered soon, I would like to train for 3-4 sprints and (cross fingers) my first full marathon (Detroit in October.) 2011 GOALS: Again, hoping I will be able to train: Since I am blah about biking, I more or less have swim and run specific goals. During the sprint triathlons, I'd like to get in the 15's for the 800m swim and 21's for the run. Upon reflection, this past season I think I was more about volume, so if I get more speed (and goal) specific, I think these goals are possible. I look forward to being a part of this group! |

The only thing I've found is that you can mass subscribe to all the threads in the Mentor section. I know there has to be a better way though. Let me send a PM and I'll get it figured out! |

Extreme Veteran 532 Northampton, UK | Subject: RE: Stickyrunner01's Group - OPEN Name: Stavros Story: My background is a little different to most. I entered a 3k fun run in July 2009 to see if I could complete it and was thoroughly unimpressed with my result (19min which I walked for at least half of, and it turned out to only be 1.5miles). This motivated me to find a training plan for a 5k run later in the year and found this site. One thing lead to another and a mate and I ended up entering 3 sprints that year. FAMILY STATUS: With girlfriend for 4 yrs CURRENT TRAINING: Running 4-5x/week, swimming 2-3x/week (though currently taking the rest of the year off) 2011 Races: Not finalised yet, but will include a couple of sprints and an Oly. WEIGHTLOSS: I've never really be concerned with my weight as it has almost always been around the 140lb mark. Goals: Get my swimming to an almost respectable standard, do better in the first sprint race I did last year (if I sign up to it) and finish the Oly |
