Is anyone else hungry all of the time? Is this just something I am going to have to get used to? I have begun training for an Ironman, which is a little less than a year away. On average I work out about two hours a day with two days off each week. I eat a well balance diet, but I can't seem...
Hi All,
Man do I miss races....my last race..a biathelon around 1990. I am really old now(46) and have an awful work schedule, oh and I am recovering from a knee injury (Patella...something...or torn/sprained MCL????)....and out of shape but other than that ready again. My 13 year old has...

Hello,
Well the first time I got the idea that I could Tri I was a twenty something college student with more time than classes at the University of Central Florida. The rearview has a lot in it and I have recently embarked on a get in shape or die trying regimen. I dropped thirty pounds and...

Looking at a marathon in October but am getting a late start. I ran a half in April and had no problem. Been running a few times a week the past few months. If i get on a schedule for the final 12 weeks does that give me enough time to get ready? I think I can pull it off but has anyone...
IM & IS (as in Iron Spike, my new term of endearment), Looks like we're all alone here :)
Committed to the GFT last night. Booked the flight, reserved the car, now all I have to do is get serious about the training. I haven't been swimming (as in miles) for a long time and my bikes have...

Hello Everybody,
I'm a 48 year old athelete at heart but the body got lost somewhere. I'm a former Marine, baseball player and have ran 2 marathons. Another former athelete and friend of mine asked me to be his training partner for a summer 2006 Triathlon. Being goal oriented and looking for...
Guys, I just got a new wetsuit, in preparation for my first 1/2 Ironman in a couple weeks-MiamiMan on 11/13. I also have my eye on either Ironman FLA or the Great Floridian IM distance event in 2006.
My question is: how much time does a middle-of-pack swimmer expect to drop as a result of...
This probably isn't considered an "injury" but this group seemed to fit.
I have my first 1/2 iron man on Sunday and yesterday I got the flu. I felt pretty bad yesterday and today with 101 degree fever.
Anyone have any advice for being race ready by Sunday or should I just try to post-pone...
Hi,
I'm new to this forum. I live in California, the Bay Area to be more specific. I teach "triathlon training" at a local college. It's a lot of fun, but has been challenging on several different levels. Does anyone else teach/coach in an academic setting? :)
Hi Everybody,
I am 57 years old and thinking about my doing my first triathlon next spring.......St. Anthony's Olympic. I have been a runner since the age of 40 and have done 7 marathons. I haven't been on a bike yet (except for the stationary ones in the gym) and I am working on my swimming...
Hello
I am very interested in taking place in my first triathlon sometime this summer, however I'm afraid it's too late as I don't have enough time to train. The Triathlon I am shooting for is the Tri-America Series in St. Paul, MN on August 27-28. Has anyone taken part in this before, and...
