hey thanks....where in NJ are you???

Welcome Heather! Are you training with a club in your neck o' the woods?

Northern NJ, near Paramus....you?

i am not training with any club...trying to do it on my own, but would love to find one nearby.

Heather, you might want to check out Tristate Multisport. Not entirely sure if they train in locations convenient enough for you. However, I know a couple of really great people who are members. Might be worth checking out.

oooh, marlton! there's even a tri in your home town!

welcome... am also in the area (philly)... let me know if you have questions...

thanks for that website, there are no groups close to my home, but i can use it for future reference.....lets see how this first one goes!!!

I am also from new jersey, robbinsville (just south of trenton) i am new to tris or events for that matter.

if anyone is looking for training partners, give me a shout. i run pretty slow, but cycle pretty well. haven't been in the pool yet.

Patrick, I'm often in Robbinsville since one of my bestfriends lives there. Let me know if you'd like to train some time. By the way, where do you swim? I hear the Robert Wood Johnson Fitness & Wellness Center (on Quakerbridge?) is decent. I used to train at the sister facility in Princeton. Might be worth investigating if they have Masters there.

Cheers, M

M,

Let me know when you might be in the area. I run nearly everyday, but would hesitate to go out with someone as i am pretty slow (or so i think). not doing much road riding with the weather/darkness, but have taken up mtn biking to bridge the gap until warmth. i am riding with frends nearly every weekend - actually we make allaire st. park quite often. sometimes those rides can get a bit too easy depending on who shows, so it would be nice to have somone to 'takeoff' with to keep HR in training pace. i am a pretty strong rider and have no issues with taking on a partner. i can adapt pretty well there.

i have not gotten to a pool yet. i work in jersey city and the commute seriously gets in the way of finding a convenient pool. i am considering RWJ, but have a bit of an issue with paying full membership for a pool. i do have some friends there though, as well as my sister. another consideration is mercer county community college. they have an olympic size, but the hours are extemely limited ... but for $100/year....

shoot me an email [email protected] and we can figure out what we need to do.

have fun,
pat.

Hey Hmski52

My name is john... i belong to a few different tri clubs in the Philly area. On Sats in the spring/summer we get a group together and swim in Marlton we swim at Cential (spelling), like i said i am from Philly so i don't know the area that much but i know it's in Marlton in some development that has a private lake, after our swim we then ride, or start off with the ride, then swim. We have all different ages and abilities. So please free to contact me with any question, about anything.

Anyone on this board is welcome to join us. When the spring comes i will post dates times and of course place.

hey john, thanks for the info.......hey if you are ever in need of a riding partnes once it gets nice out, i dont mind coming over to the city either!!!

Always looking for a riding partner...

stay warm

excellent, once the weather breaks lets go out....just bought a new bike on wednesday and can't wait to get it on the road!!!

what kind of bike did you get????

what sort of training program are you doing????? Please free to email me any questions, i've been doing tris for about 5 years now, and when i started i had no one to ask anything...

Looking to start a weekly ride every Sat starting in the NJ area. Doesn’t have to start in NJ, but future weeks (warm weather) we can also do open water swims from this area. The ride will be about 40 miles or so we can go longer, no one gets dropped. If interested please let me know.

john

john, count me in for those rides on sat mornings,,,lets set this up.....

heather, where have you been?????

check your email....

We will be having an open water swim/bike this Sat 5/28. We will meet in Marlton Lake area.

You can swim any distance you choose. We are planning about a 40-45 mile bike, we can go longer. For those interested please email within this website...

thanks

john
