Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() kpar - 2009-12-20 9:45 PM Ahhh, the intros. ... I just finished doing White Rock HM and bettered my previous time (2006) by 25 minutes and I was really happy with that. (I love running more in the cold weather--hate it in the hot! Great race! I only dream of a sub 2:30 HM for now. |

![]() | ![]() kpar - 2009-12-20 9:45 PMAhhh, the intros. Forgot! This is my fifth year doing triathlon. So far I've done nothing but sprints. Last year I scheduled a couple of longer races but got injured, so I'm a little gun shy about getting too ambitious again, though I will certainly keep it on my radar. I just finished doing White Rock HM and bettered my previous time (2006) by 25 minutes and I was really happy with that. (I love running more in the cold weather--hate it in the hot! But I will try to keep with it more even as the season progresses.) Running has always been my weakness so I'm glad to see it slowly getting stronger. Thanks for the intro! Although I don't really need since I already know you Other than that, I am a college professor at a junior college, married with five furry babies: cats Junior, Rocko, and Missy, and two dogs Buddy and Heidi. ![]() |

New user ![]() | ![]() I am a slow typer and it looked like it was filling up fast... Hello everyone. I have completed my first year of triing. I was very overweight (228 5'7") and and out of shape almost 2 yrs ago. I started at the gym William works at and started going to watch a couple of his tris and thought that looked like fun but I couldn't run as my knees hurt. So I figured it would never happen... After a year at the gym I could run around the gym 5 times for a bootcamp they had it made me start thinking maybe I could do this and that is where it started for me. William helped me start a program (slow and easy) to finish a local 5k race. And then he said I needed a bike if I wanted to tri, so I got my bike and been trying to do all he has asked ever since. Completed 4 sprint tris my first season with the first, an open water swim at Joe pool lake July 12th. And the last The Monster Tri in Keller oct 25th. And I owe it all to William as he is a great coach and friend. I am glad to be able to be a part of this group. He WILL keep you motivated if you will listen to him. Thanks Lance Edited by lvernon 2009-12-20 10:18 PM |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Are girls allowed in this group? Haha I assume so, but let me know if this is a good group if I've never done a race before. My main goal is to finish a race or two, and not necessarily to finish WELL- but this seems like a good group so far, so let me know if there's room for a newbie! - Emily |

New user![]() ![]() | ![]() I'd like to join the group please. My name is Phillip. I am 28 years old, I have a wife and a 1 1/2 year old boy. I am in the ARMY and have been in Afghanistan for 8 months now w/ 4 to go. Before I left I decided I would use my extra time here to train for triathlons. So from May 09-Oct 09 I trained as if I was going to compete after that. Obviously I couldn't because I was still here. I went on my mid-deployment vacation in late Oct. and used that has my "offseason". I have just started back training this month for the 2010 season which I do plan to compete when I return in April. I have been athletic all my life, lifting weights since 7th grade and competing in track from 7th-12th grade. I was never good enough to go beyond that. I want to participate in triathlons for the competition part of it and also to stay in shape. I am 5 foot 9 inches and 184 pounds. Unlike some posts I've read on this thread, I have plenty of desire and motivation to follow a plan, I just doubt sometimes that I'm doing the right things. I keep a fairly detailed log on paper, I've read Joe Friels Training Bible and have done some research online when I can. I will post my routine/training plan soon. I may not be able to post my training on this site because I have limited access to the internet and it's not a very fast connection either. Hopefully this can help because I'd like to have some success in sprints next year with possibly an Oly to finish out the season. Thanks, Phillip |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() OK just read the whole thread and think I might get yelled at for not doing an intro, so if I'm in the group, here's a little more about me: I live on Long Island (suburbs of NYC), go to law school full time in NYC, I'm single (living with the 'rents- woo hoo!), and have a dog- a pointer mix named Oliver whom I adopted a few months ago. I've never really been an athlete, but in the past five years or so I've tried to stay pretty fit- running (at least until I get injured- ugh! A main goal of mine is to avoid shin splints like the plague), yoga, lifting, and recently, mostly indoor cycling on a spinning bike. I just got in the pool for the first time in 10+ years the other day! I have a friend who's a professional triathlete and does swimming classes twice a week. This winter I've found it hard to be consistent with workouts, so training with a goal in mind would be a nice motivation. The only races I've ever done are a couple of 5Ks. I had kind of a rough year personally and would like to get into tri's to do something positive for myself, get outside more often, work towards a goal, and basically create the healthy, optimistic lifestyle I want to have for the rest of my life- hopefully outside of New York once I graduate (in 2011). Oh and in terms of my build- next to you guys I'm pretty tiny. 5'3", 105-110 lbs. Lately I've gotten a little soft, but it's very rare for me to weigh over 110. Generally, I eat pretty healthy- I love to cook and center my diet around whole grains, fruits, veggies, nuts, and try to remember to get some protein, but I'm not a big meat eater. When I fall off the nutrition wagon, it's usually because of sweets or booze- I'm not a big drinker, but when life gets stressful, I probably average 4-5 glasses of wine a week (more if I go out with friends). OK thanks for reading! Hope to get to know all of you better soon. - Emily |

Member ![]() | ![]() Hello! My name is Kim and I am hoping to still be able to join your group. I am a complete beginner with tri's and endurance sports for that matter. I was a gymnast and then coached it till I was about 23yrs old, then began weightlifting and just generally did anything active I could. About 5yrs ago, I was training for a tri while living out in California with a club and over trained myself. Than the weight came on, I have never been heavy in my life and gaining 80lbs in about a year was overwhelming. I have taken 60lbs off and thankfully and almost back to my "normal" weight. I am trying to get ready for the princess half marathon in Disney (march, 2010) and than the pawling triathlon in June 2010. I am hoping to get some really good, trustworthy guidance, i truly want to train the right way this time and just not push myself the wrong way (the competitor in me will make me push myself to hard!). I live in NY and the weather is getting really cold so Ill be doing most of my training inside (unfortunately). I have a treadmill and just started doing the couch to 5k running program on my iphone(running 3 days a week) with jump-roping also everyday. My over training injuries involved my bilateral calf's- I received approx 4weeks of PT which has seemed to help. I also ordered the TRX Suspension Trainer Professional. Thanks for reading, any input is appreciated, Kim S. |

![]() | ![]() Now that we have some ladies in our group, this group is now CLOSED. Thanks for joining!!!! I look forward to a great year getting to know you and rocking out with you all. Communication will be key. I expect you to keep me updated on here how things are going, keep up with your logs as well as nutrition log if I have asked you too to the best you can. I know this weekend is going to be tough watching our food intake ![]() In this group you will also need a confident attitude "I CAN do this" and "anything is possible" attitude. Thanks and Merry CHRISTmas! |

From the sounds of it you sound like you will be pretty busy with law school. I am in an M.B.A. program and it keeps me busy as well. Your diet or what you eat is pretty good. For meat subs you should check into tofu, almonds, quinoa, beans. Be sure you update your log and ask questions. Thanks. I will get back to the rest of ya'll (aka you guys) later, I am at work now. |

![]() | ![]() Ok here is the offical group. I would like it if some of you all posted a picture or two so I can associate a face with the name or add me on facebook. Oh yeah and ask questions of what you want to know, that is how you are going to learn in this group, since there is so much info to cover in triathlon, I want you to ask specific questions. If I don't know the answer I know someone who does. antlimon166 |

From the sounds of it you sound like you will be pretty busy with law school. I am in an M.B.A. program and it keeps me busy as well. Your diet or what you eat is pretty good. For meat subs you should check into tofu, almonds, quinoa, beans. Be sure you update your log and ask questions. Thanks. I will get back to the rest of ya'll (aka you guys) later, I am at work now. I do love me a non-NY accent! As do most New Yorkers- we're suckers for a Southern accent. I am pretty busy with law school (especially right now- trying to write about 40 pages in the next three days to finish up a final draft of a paper- FUN), but honestly, it's pretty much my only commitment and it leaves me with a pretty flexible schedule. I found it much harder to work out when I had a 9-5 internship over the summer- with the hour-plus commute each way, it just ate up the whole day. And I find I work much more efficiently when I have a lot on my plate. So hopefully having to fit in training will force me to manage my time better. Thanks for the diet suggestions- I eat a lot of beans and brown rice (I like to cook a big pot on the weekends and then have it for lunch for the rest of the week) and my mid-morning snack every day is an almond butter and honey sandwich on Ezekiel bread- does everyone know about Ezekiel bread? It's god's gift to whole grain lovers- sprouted grain bread, no flour, but it tastes like regular bread. I do need to get a little more tofu and quinoa in my life- being back at home with my parents, if I get home late from school and they already have dinner ready, I usually just have what they're having, which is usually something like chicken cutlets, potatoes, and green beans- it's not the worst, but it's not what I would cook for myself. So that's something I have to work on, too- resisting their not-so-healthy food in the cabinet when I'm starving! OK back to the paper- I'll update my log and post a few pressing questions when I take a break later! |

Member ![]() | ![]() That's exactly what I was thinking about the extra pounding to the calf's but at the same time I have heard that the endurance gains are very high so I was weighing the risks vs the gains.. what do you think?? Thank you so much for accepting me into your group. I'm just not sure what to do now. I was thinking of following the beginner program that goes from Jan till June- or will you be posting a workout for us to follow.. just not sure how it all works.. yikes.. So, a little about me- I'm 38yrs old, single, an emergency room nurse (which is highly highly stressful) and recently had a big health scare- which has actually turned into a positive experience in my life. I'm from Westchester county, NY! |
