Welcome, Andi!

Brian is also doing Escape from Alcatraz.

Hi Andi, as Mila mentioned I am also doing Alcratraz ... I would not go so far as to say that I am "racing" it though as I just restarted my training two weeks ago.

You might want to avail yourself to the training logs here.  It is a great tool to stay in touch with other's training as well as they with yours.

I usually ride Saturday mornings. Since I just got my zones redone and I am in base building mode, I have been riding the Silver Comet at the crack of stupid ... would love the company if you are interested in a 16-17 mph slog.

Generally speaking, at the crack of dawn ... usually wheels rolling between 7:00-7:15 am (but then gets earlier as the season progresses).

I will not be out this weekend (Cub Scout camping trip) but will the following weekend if you are interested.

rather than the rather vague "I'm going to get into shape" I decided to set a sprint tri as a goal. My mild ADD made a marathon out of the question. my last swim lesson is this week, and I plan on taking the tri class at Lifetime at Sugarloaf.
