Hey everyone!  Thought I'd start this post and see who else is in...?


Curious as to when everyone will start officially training and what plan you'll be following.

I'm in and I am planning to kick off my training for the 2013 season next week. Actually I'm doing IMWI so I will be using a combination of Don Fink's IronFit training programs for that. I wanted to do at least one HIM before the IM and Syracuse is close enough to be able to drive to for me. It also seems like it is a challenging course which is perfect in preparing for Wisconsin.

Couldn't agree more Tony!! There's another great 1/2 in Geneva, NY. www.musselmantri.com

Looks like we will get to meet up before IMWI.

Train wise and recover well!!

LOL! Looking at your race list we'll be racing with each other at NYC marathon as well! I'm doing the MCM the week before with The Hope For the Warriors charity. Smile

Really? That is pretty funny and I though I was crazy trying to do both next year and you are doing MCM right before NYC as well. That is crazy! Well I hope I get to see you at all the events. We'll see how NYC goes and what they do. I did not plan to do that for 2013 I was supposed to do it this year but am not passing up the opportunity to run it next year.

I'm in.  This will be my 2nd 70.3 (although I've done 3 half-distance swim/bike events) and is my lead-up race before IM Lake Placid.  Training has already started and is going well.  I am doing my own thing right now but have a coach lined up to start Jan 1.

Does the Syracuse 70.3 sell out?  If so when?

papkmd56 - 2012-12-19 1:15 PM Does the Syracuse 70.3 sell out?  If so when?

No, in fact just the opposite.  There was a good turnout in 2010 (first year) with registrations in the 1800-1900 range.  There was about half that in 2011 and slightly better this past year but that was due to a $199 price and 100 qualifying slots for the 70.3 world champs.

It's a great and challenging race but I'm not sure it will be renewed once the five year contract is up due to "soft" registration numbers.

I'm in - part of our family vacation to NY. Looking forward to the spring build up and a great experience. This is my second 1/2 - my 1st was Racine 2012.

Hoping to learn something from repeat offenders as this one looks to be challenging...

Oh - I am doing base training now and will start official training 12 weeks out using "The 12 Week Triathlete" by Tom Holland. I am totally in it for fun without injury and meet folks that are crazy enough to commit to this crazy sport!

What training plans will everyone else following and when will they officially start?

I start the 20 week plan from this site on Feb. 4th.  Now just trying to get in to some sort of routine.  I've been off my bike the end of 2012 due to some piriformis issues.  I think I may kick off the new year with a new saddle (she says after first ride in a very long time!!!).

Pretty excited for this one, 1st triathlon, 1st 70.3.  Just finished a 4 year collegiate rowing career, so I'm used to a lot of training, but not exactly triathlon specific.

 

I'm using the 20 week plan from this site as my guide so I should be starting the first week of February.  I'm itching to get into it but it's going to be "trial by fire" as this is all pretty new to me.

Ok Iam in Thanks to Tony

We also are making this a vacation, we used to live in Binghamton so will be visiting family probably a day before and the week after.
This will be my second Half, and I am pretty sure at this point my future daughter inlaw will also be doing this with me. I am so excited! My training will start on the 3rd I also am going to follow the plan from BT. Right now Iam trying to get in as much base training as I can and am also working with a trainer 1x a week to get stronger and he is kicking my butt!

JoAnne glad to see your in for Syracuse and also happy to hear you will be in Madison for IMWI. They should both be great events. I can't wait to do both races.

Bob I hope your knee and back are feeling better soon so you can get started on your training for both races.

This is a pretty quiet thread. How is everyone doing with their training? I'm still rolling on the trainer as the weather isn't quite there yet. We are less than three months out though, so the time is counting down regardless. What are people doing for warm up races?

Same here, I've been rolling through lots of movies on the trainer, can't wait to get outside.  I plan on racing Newfound Lake olympic tri in NH on June 1 as a "tuneup" race.  The timing works out well as it falls in the middle of my build for Syracuse.

Nice. It is a great area. I raced Mooseman last year and really enjoyed it (minus the rain). The lake and the wooded area where transition is set up is really great though. Good luck and if you watch any "must sees" let me know!
