Extreme Veteran 434 Orangeville, Ontario | Subject: RE: 2004 Year of the First Tri - "Resolve to" Here! Sounds Great! I'll being "Doing It" for the first time this year too! I just had a great 10km run with built in intervals and feel great, sore but great. Bring it on, Let the serious training begin!!!! If the journey feels this good I can't imagine how good it's going to feel when we get there! Happy New Years! Geoff |

Expert 774 England | Subject: RE: 2004 Year of the First Tri - "Resolve to" Here! My commitment as well - nearly a first time as I did a corporate sprint tri about 5 yrs ago but never really went at it properly! Next mouse click is to book a place in a pool sprint tri on May 2nd (first of a series of 3 in the summer) - then there's no backing out. Just created my weekly training plan for each week until then, based on some of the new stuff I just saw on the site. This is going to be a breakthrough 2004 for my fitness levels. Happy 2004 everyone! |

Expert 713 Rockledge, Fl | Subject: RE: 2004 Year of the First Tri - "Resolve to" Here! Hey Ron, see if you can make it a singlet (coolMax or equivalent) so can actually be used in training and/or races. |

| Regular 84 Colorado | Subject: RE: 2004 Year of the First Tri - "Resolve to" Here! Sounds fun...it's nice to have a bunch of newbies active on this site. I'm aiming for a sprint tri in August after a brief intro to triathlons in 1999 and a weight gaining sabatical since then! My partner's in into it too, so our household commitment this year is fitness! Edited by kimber 2004-01-03 8:52 AM |

Frugal Gear Geek 2199 having fun with the kids | Subject: RE: 2004 Year of the First Tri - "Resolve to" Here! Being a New England sports fan I will have to "tri" not to hurt myself jumping onto a band wagon. This is the year for my first tri. I am looking at one in May. Hope to do at least two this year along with a couple of road races. My long term goal is to Ironman when I am forty. I figure this gives me a solid SIX YEARS to build up. One step at a time at least one sprint this year. By the way would anyone be interested in sharing there most unexpected tri experinces durring an official event. I have heard of things like DQ's for drafting and not having helmets buckeled while handeling a bike. Those kinds of tidbits would be helpful as the nerves kick in in about 4 mos. Thanks and Happy Trails Joe |

| Regular 83 Springfield, Ohio | Subject: RE: 2004 Year of the First Tri - "Resolve to" Here! Most unexpected item: Seeing the truck picking up orange cones marking the course while I was still finishing the event (When I say finishing, I mean I still had another 30 minutes to go!) :-( I did my first last year, but my 10 year old daughter and 14 year old son figure if Dad can do it, so can they. So put us down for the SuperSprint Tri in St. Joseph, MI. in June. Kids will be doing the kids distance and Dad will be doing the adult distance.They wouldn't let me sign up for the kids' distance. Dad got a third place medal in his age group last year (There were 3 of us in my age group). |

Expert 1164 New Port Richey | Subject: RE: 2004 Year of the First Tri - "Resolve to" Here! First year for me too There are 6 within an hour and half drive. I would like to do at least 4 of them but I need to find a job so I can pay the entrance fee. The only definite one I will not do is July 25th because my wife and I are going up to Lake Placid to watch IRONMAN USA. About a 5 hour trip from Rochester. I might even volunteer. Shirt sounds cool. And this site is a excellent motivational tool. It really keeps me focused. |

Extreme Veteran 465 Epworth. Iowa | Subject: RE: 2004 Year of the First Tri - "Resolve to" Here! There is some good comitment and excitement going on here. Welcome to all you news guys! I think I'm going to be in the market for a couple of shirts. Outdoor training is getting tougher here in IA - (-20F wind chill coming up tonight) - so it's indoor track running stairs and got to find a pool this week. Like the man says - hang tough, train tough. |

| Regular 83 Springfield, Ohio | Subject: RE: 2004 Year of the First Tri - "Resolve to" Here! How can it be that cold in Iowa with all those politicians putting out hot air? May be the best way to pick out presidential candidates would be to have them do a triathon. |

Expert 774 England | Subject: RE: 2004 Year of the First Tri - "Resolve to" Here! Don't forget to work out a cheap way to ship the t-shirts internationally! There's a few of us in the UK and even as far as Korea who may be interested. That said, I travel to San Diego regularly on business so could collect one when I'm next there in March. On the unusual experiences, in my first tri attempt I managed to take a wrong turn on the bike section that was poorly marked (and I hadn't recce'd it Edited by Bigpikle 2004-01-08 4:49 AM |
) and of course it was the turn that took me down the side of a large hill! When I got to the bottom of the hill I realised what I'd done and had to climb up a massive hill just to get back on track - lesson learned = always drive/cycle the route or stay with the pack!| 2004-01-08 7:54 AM in reply to: #3070 |
Frugal Gear Geek 2199 having fun with the kids | Subject: RE: 2004 Year of the First Tri - "Resolve to" Here! thanks for those bad tri tidbits, definatly helpful, even if is to know I won't be the first person to finish after the cone truck. Camron could you please post the info on the Disney Tri you are doing. My family has been pushing to go and I keep saying the kids are to young. If I can get involved in the tri it would encourage me to take the kids sooner. Thanks. Joe |
