Hi Jesse,

www.dctri.com and also www.teamz.com these are two AWESOME groups. And Team Z trains in your area.

DC TRI Christmas Party is at the Cinema Draft House (near you too)...... come out and watch Kona with us!!

Please, please please can I join?

Name: Wade from Texas

Story: 41 yrs old, married w/ one son. Pretty active (running). Completed 4 marathons in the past 3 years (sub-4hr) and several halfs and 25ks etc. Caught the Tri bug from a friend of mine so here I go. I have committed to Houston 26.2 in January '10 and Austin 26.2 in February '10...then I'm full time tri-training. I bike alittle, just to supplement training, but definitely no expert. I have yet to hit the water, I'm still looking for a gym with a pool then I'll be in business.

2009 Goals: I would like to complete a couple of sprints in the summer and maybe a Oly in the fall.

I'm really looking forward to learning all I can about this great sport!

welcome aboard wade!!!  just dont laugh at us too much, sweetcorn can be a little sensitive sometimes!!! 

"then have to take my son for his first haircut!!!  (any tips???)"

Dave, there will probably be crying involved, so just get the camera or video out (or both as we did) and enjoy the moment.

As for this weekend...I'm on recovery week from a 30K race last weekend. So, I'll probably just do an easy 7 or 8 miler (knees are kinda sore). I have Houston 26.2 coming Jan 17th.

alright, im off to do some interval training at the track!! (inside the pettit national ice center, they have a 455 meter track around the olympic ice oval!!!)

and thanks for the tips on the haircut, but i hope i dont cry too much!!!

Dave, I'd like to join.


NAME: RecTri/Dano

STORY: Nearing 40 a few years ago, was about 30lbs overweight and running 3.1 miles 3 times a week was getting monotonous. My friends told me I should start biking with them for some variety and one asked me to be part of his Oly tri team. Just participating in one leg I was hooked and couldn't wait to do my first full tri. I have done 3 or 4 sprints the last 2 seasons.

FAMILY STATUS: Married for 21 years this month with 4 boys.

CURRENT TRAINING: Rehab running due to injuries.

THIS YEAR'S RACES: Did 4 sprints, a 10K, and a 5K.

2010 RACES:  Would like to do the same schedule plus 1 Oly tri.

WEIGHTLOSS: Just trying to stay fit and stay at a healthy weight. 

NAME: Ann-Marie

STORY: Swam in high school and one year of college, but really wasn't one for working hard at anything.  Did a couple relay sprint tris as a teenager with my dad and sister (I was the swimmer).  Although I hated endurance sports, I always had a secret dream of running a marathon.  Trained hard (probably too hard too fast) and completed (barely-ouch!) one in 2008.  It was the toughest thing I ever did and it made me realize that maybe I am not the lazy quitter I always thought I was.  I did, however, strain my knee, hip, and ankle in the mary and so I started getting in the pool to stay fit.  That led to me training and completing my first sprint tri last summer. 

FAMILY STATUS: Married for 14 years with a daughter (14) and son (12)

CURRENT TRAINING: Took some time off after my second sprint tri and am now ramping up to get ready for the new season. I am a decent swimmer, but am a horribly slow runner and am an inexperienced cyclist.

2009 RACES: Camp Pendleton Sprint Tri (July) & Long Beach Sprint (Sept)

2010 RACES:  Race on the Base sprint tri Feb. 27th, Kring & Chung Sprint tri April, Camp Pendleton Sprint July,  maybe an Olympic...

WEIGHTLOSS: If I lose any more weight I will cease to exist.  I have always struggled with my weight...to keep it on.  I am naturally a skinny bones jones and have hated it as much as someone hates being overweight.  I love training because there are some bumps and curves where there used to be just stick arms and legs. 

welcome both dano and ann marie!!!  EEEEAAAAWWWsome to have you on the ship!  would type more now but am actually a bit tired!!

*bump* (i'll do this alot to try to keep us on the first page............)

welcome to the group 53 and with that................we are now officially closed!!!!

THIS YEAR'S RACES: As noted above, did a 14k and half marathon.

2010 RACES:  Alcatraz is the only thing on my radar. 

WEIGHTLOSS: At a good weight.  Could probably use a little more muscle.

snuck in at the final bell!!!  great job and welcome aboard!!!
