Here's our profile for new members for next year....we will do it the same way as last year....I will pick the folks in the new forums....then bring them over here when we close it down....if you want to go say something to add to our attractiveness, I will let you know when our ad goes live....then you can fire away over there too......oooooohhhhh I love seeing new peeps in the group....

Name:  Left.right.repeat aka Bryan

Story:  This is my fourth year as a mentor.  My group will be a little different from many of them on here and I want to explain how.  I have a couple of folks from my first group, a couple from my second group, several from my third year and then we will be adding those of you who might be interested.  The group is male and female, evenly divided, from Canada and Boston to Louisiana and Texas.  All middle aged (don't tell them I said that)....my 50 year mid life crisis in 2009 was my first Ironman - I finished IM Arizona in November.  Two of our 2010 members did IM Louisville and one of our other members completed IM Arizona in 2010 but don't let that intimidate you...several just did their first sprint in 2009 or 2010.  We are a welcoming group that is looking to add some new blood and excitement.  Join this group and benefit from several wicked smart mentors.  So if you are looking for experienced Ironman finishers in your group, we may be for you.  If you are just starting in the sport, we are a fun welcoming group evenly divided between men and women and we are ALL a lot of fun.  FYI, there are two female IM finishers and two male IM finishers - we don't discriminate.

Family: Married with an adult daughter

Current Training/2011 Races:  Half Marathon, Olympic triathlon, Half Ironman, Ironman Arizona and other epic endurance events.

2009 Races:  Houston Marathon, CapTexTri, Austin Triathlon, Prairieman HIM, Ironman Arizona and several other events.

2010 Races:  Disney half marathon, America's Run half, Texas Independence Relay (203 miles), CapTexTri, Austin Triathlon, LiveStrong Challenge, Tour de Cure, Ironman Florida and a few others.

Weightloss: 46 pounds in less than 36 months

What makes me a good mentor:  The other people in the group....LOL....we have fun.  Seriously, we have history.  Once you are in the group and we close it, we will move you all to our base group where there are over 200 pages of posts equalling over 4000 messages which you will want to read....there's history in there and a TON of answers to your questions.

So, fire away, all questions are appropriate and will be answered....come join us....tell me who you are and why you want to join our team.

Hey Billy...wonder who that was!  lol  I am sure they are glad you liked the card!

WOW!!  Awesome gifts from your wife!!  I love the way she had those framed!  I agree with Bryan..."Build that woman a house!"

Bryan...the profile for the new group looks great! 

I am on a running streak right now.  Since we started our 12 days of Christmas I have been running everyday!  I even went skiing all day today then after I got home I went out just for a short 1 miler at 11:15...just to continue my streak...craziness I guess.

Lena, you have a good point about getting cold so I am trying to find the female version of this: http://thermajock.com/

Visit www.vineyardwarrior.com January 1 to register for this Olympic distance event on the island of Martha's Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts.  September is prime Vineyard time for a fun filled weekend for the racer and their families alike.


Isn't this in your part of the world?

I found a great new workout.   I painted my girls room yesterday and my arms and shoulders are kind of sore this morning. 

For Christmas, I told my two girls they could paint their room any color they wanted.  I should have set some boundries but didn't.  I'm learning as I get older.  Well, they went off to Menards with my wife.  They came back with 3 different colors since they couldn't decide on one.  So they have a pink wall, a green wall, and 2 purple walls.  We haven't started to decorate it yet. 

And yes Lena, I not really sure where to get all the unicorn pictures and such. 

Gary, I am sure you will make a great Mentor and the people that sign up for your group will benefit from your advice.  Maybe we could have a mentor group vs Mentor group challenge in the future!
