Master 1790 \Windsor, Ontario | Subject: RE: Razorxp Mentor group "sickies" Was it the fall on the weekend from my bike that is giving you the impression I am un-coachable LOL? I do have one question Coach - If you die trying to teach me how to swim, who in the hell is going to save me from drowning? I will put some possible dates together for a golf game, just let me get back to you. I don't mind driving to Ohio either. I would love to get a better look at Flag City USA. Have a great night Coach and welcome again Jon. KC |

Extreme Veteran 424 Lockport, IL | Subject: RE: Razorxp Mentor group "sickies" Sign me up please! My name is Rob and I am 41 yrs old. I am engaged and getting married on June 21st and have my first tri this year on June 5th in Whiting, Indiana. I'm currently using the custom plan functionality that BT provides and my volumes seem to be pretty good when I don't have a project finishing! I've gotten outside once on the bike so far this year and supplement with spin classes. I work from home so it alows for a great deal of flexibiliity.
Thanks for letting me join the group - if you let me that is! |

Veteran 241 Mass. | Subject: RE: Razorxp Mentor group "sickies" I want to join to!!
My name is Keith, I'm 35 and I've been running to stay fit for about five years now. My cousin convinced me to do triathlons, so here I am. Doing my first one (sprint) on June 5th. Can't wait! My weakness is the swim. I have anchors for legs. I can run pretty well though. My saving grace. Happy to be aboard!!

Regular 95 Augusta, GA | Subject: RE: Razorxp Mentor group "sickies" (Feet shuffling at the dirt, head down, he looks up and says) Can I join again? My name is Court and I am so new I don't even know if I will be able to get to a race this year. Having my back out for two months hasn't help either! But on the brighter side, I am back to training and have in my sight two sprints, one in July and one in October. I am married, have two girsl, three dogs, one cat and one turtle. My long term goals are to continue to build to compete in a 70.3 that we host in my home city. Hope to be there next year. Good luck everyone and welcome back to the oldies. |

Veteran 203 Daytona Beach | Subject: RE: Razorxp Mentor group "sickies" Hello, I'd like to join if I may. I am 46 years old tomorrow, and have signed up for three sprint tri's. The first being on Mother's Day. I have never tried triathlons before, but also being a strong type A personality, I've read a lot about it and have decided to take the plunge. I have completed 6 half marathons and enjoy training for them since I have been a long distance runner since high school. The biking and swimming however are another story. Hence, why I am interestedin this group. In my training I can't seem to get faster the 20 min. for a half mile swimming. It is driving me crazy! After this season, which for me stops when the water gets cold as I do not have wet suit, I will switch my training for the Marine Corps Marathon held in October. My goals are to finish with a smile on my face and improve times as I progress. I'd also like to lose 10 stubborn pounds. I am married to a husband who is very supportive of my training. I have a 16 year old daughter who is starting to do some 5Ks. And my almost 12 year old boy competes in boys' gymnastics-so active family. I do post my training daily, but at first I think I was putting distance where times should have been. So not realu sure on the accuracy. Anyway, if you will be willing to train an older lady I'd love the advice. Feel free to look at my logs if possible. |

Older lady? LOL. You kids crack me up. Happy Birthday! When legs are anchors, look to the upper body for the solution. We don't kick hard in triathlon - wet suits make it unnecessary and we try to save energy and the legs for the bike and runs and kicking uses too much energy and provides little propellent. We kick to keep our legs up but the solution I learned was to keep my head down. Head down in the watter should bring the waist and butt up to the surface where you want them. Masters Swimming has been great for me. Breakthroughs come at times. Now 2 years into it the latest is stroke efficiency. Lowering stroke count, gliding and reducing RPE. I'm so not fighting the water anymore - at least not as often - and it feels great. Swam this morning, really good. Quick (for me) 4.7 miles on the run last night felt good - form coming along. Hard LT workout tonite on the computrainer. Looking forward to it. Leg holding up so far. Rollers, yoga, all good. Welcome everybody. Have a great day! (Unless you made other plans) ice

Veteran 343 PA | Subject: RE: Razorxp Mentor group "sickies" Name: nakdboardr/Kevin (are we allowed to have 2 Kevin's in the group) Story: I'm entering my second year of triathlons, with many years of running and sports in my past including a duathlon (it was called biathlon when I did it and it was sponsored by a beer company ) when I was in HS. I'm 39 and did my first tri this past fall. I am looking forward to doing many more tris in 2011. I am working on my swimming (the GF is a swim coach so she keeps an eye on me—even though she thought I drowned in my first tri—my pic is me coming out of the water alive at the tri ) and running (it tanked this past year) I am currently living in PA. I have lived in NY, PA (2 times before), Puerto Rico, MD, OH, and NJ) and will be racing in the tri state area. Family Status: not married but have a GF and 2 cats Anything else you would like to share: I am eager to learn more about the swimming and biking and fine tune my training. I have become addicted to tris so I will be a good motivator and provide lots of encouragement. |

Veteran 203 Daytona Beach | Subject: RE: Razorxp Mentor group "sickies" Thanks, I feel older as I look at posts, race ages etc. But it does not bother me, I am having fun training. Good to know I don't need to focus on the kicks so much. Just need to keep building a base I suppose on the arms. |

Well we have to keep kicking in the pool ... but the effort is more in the form than strength... Check out youtube for Total Immersion swimming. The guy has great ideas on rolling side to side, keeping the head down, the butt up and using your core more than the arms. Really great stuff. Edited by IceManScott 2011-04-12 12:37 PM |

Jackson, MS | Subject: RE: Razorxp Mentor group "sickies" NAME: Mary A STORY: I'm 27 and starting year two of triathlons. My husband (Mashmead) got me interested, and I love it so far! Made a lot of progress in the last year. Injured my IT band this winter with some poor training habits for a half marathon that I was unable to run. My goal is to stay injury free this year. I have crazy work hours and can't always train consistently (for instance, was either at work or sleeping all weekend). Fingers crossed I'll be ready to race. FAMILY: Married for two and half years now, with a high-maintenance black lab mix, Ellie. CURRENT TRAINING: On the 8 week Olympic training plan. Have done weeks 1 and 2, now restarting at week 1. Mississippi Heatwave Olympic is June 4. Have a mini sprint a few weeks before that. Planning on the new NashVegas olympic in September (husband aiming for his first HIM same race). Probably another local sprint or two in the mix. 2010 RACES: Tri for Life sprint last July, Stonebridge Ranch sprint last September, a few 5-ks. Weightloss: Just maintaining, which is tough because I love some chocolate milk after training. Planning on a 50min run and 45min bike today. After my weekend hiatus, I'm ready to go.
