Master 2301 Rogersville, Alabama | Subject: BamaDC's Mentor Group v3.0 - CLOSED NAME: BamaDC / Mark So in 08 I went all out. I finished Ironman Louisville in 14:19 and improved my half marathon time by 8 min. 1:50 in Feb 08 to a 1:42 in Nov 08. 2009 was year two. I finished my second Ironman Louisville in 11:36, first Half Ironman in 5:26, dropped my half marathon time to 1:32 and had my first triathlon top ten overall. 2010 was year three. I had a PR at the HIM distance 5:02 and had a couple of top ten overalls. I took it easy this year and spent more time with the family. FAMILY STATUS: Married to a fellow triathlete and going on 7 years. Three sons (Thomas) 4yo, William 2yo and Matthew 2 months old. CURRENT TRAINING: Focusing on running a sub 1:30 Half Marathon in February. Then I'll be focusing on a sub 2:20 for an Olympic and sub 5:00 for HIM. THIS YEAR'S RACES: Mercedes Half Mary 1:31, Florida 70.3 5:02, Rocketman Olympic 2:24 2011 RACES: Mercedes Half Mary, Buster Britton Tri, Heel Crank Duathlon, Wet Dog Tri, Mountain Lakes Tri, RocketMan Oly, Augusta 70.3, and a several other running races. WEIGHTLOSS: I'm currently at 173 pounds and should be around 167 by my February Half Mary. WHAT WILL MAKE ME A GOOD MENTOR: I've got three years of triathlon training and racing under my belt. I've also been able to do this while keeping a healthy marriage and enjoying my three boys. I enjoy helping people and let's have some FUN! Edited by BamaDC 2010-12-30 9:42 PM |

Veteran 341 Orangevale, CA | Subject: RE: BamaDC's Mentor Group v3.0 - OPEN I'm doing the Ironman 70.3 California in Oceanside ( north of San Diego ). It's about an 8 hour drive from home, so the family and I will drive down a couple of days before the race. It's an ocean swim ( my first ), but it's in the harbor so the water is suppose to be calm. Bike ride is through Camp Pendleton, so no worries about traffic, but also no spectators and it's windy and hilly. Run is a two loop course along the coast and very flat. |

Master 2301 Rogersville, Alabama | Subject: RE: BamaDC's Mentor Group v3.0 - OPEN 20 min CP of 261 watts at an average HR of 167 bpm. That makes my FTP 250. It's hard to believe I've lost that much fitness since peaking at the end of August. My FTP was in the 280s. |

Sort of disappointed in that. I thought I would have done better. I was pretty wiped out afterwards though. |

This is a good group of folks. Second, just to let you in on a secret most don't know - ocean swims are way, way better than any other type of swim. Much more fun than a murky lake, and infinitely better than swimming in that cube following the black line. |
