Joe commented on the group 'Triathlete Singles'"Good luck Jamie! The first one is the best, and the one that sucks you in for more. I'm taking a day off school to go sign up for IMAZ next month."
Joe commented on the group 'Ironman Arizona 2012'"Thanks for the advice Mike. I think I might do just that. Does anyone know if I'm not slated to volunteer until late on race day if I need to show up the day prior or just a few hours early on race day?"
Joe commented on the group 'Ironman Arizona 2012'"Thank you Jerry! Volunteering would be ideal, but I can't afford a hotel for the weekend considering I'll finally have to buy a wetsuit for next years race! I'll will be there Monday morning."
Joe commented on the group 'Ironman Arizona 2012'"I recently moved to Arizona and I was wondering if I can show up the monday after the race to sign up for next years race. I already got the day off work to do so if possible. I teach school so signing up online during the day is not…"

Joe replied to the discussion 'Finish Times' in the group Ironman Louisville 2012"Don't stress the swim. Out of every triathlon I have done at any distance IMLU swim is the easiest. there is tons of room and you rarely ever get hit. I'm not a big fan of the swim but once you hit the turn around…"
Joe replied to the discussion 'Why Do You Ironman?' in the group Ironman Louisville 2012"you left out a third category.

- The W.O.W center was created because we live in such a Rural Area and the nearest gym is about 45 minutes away. With the price of a membership and the gas it takes to get there is too high for our area. I started the W.O.W center with the goal of teaching low-impact aerobics, strength training and education programs for healthy living and eating never realizing how it would turn out. I started by putting an ad in the local newspaper, I had so many people show up for just the meeting I was amazed. I did a lecture on the whole program and gave samples of healthy but tasty food. I started the aerobics class the next week, two days in the gym and one day outside in the ball field. I started out with one treadmill and one stationary bike. I started buying hand weights at yard sales and at the local goodwill. Most people liked the aerobics and the long walks through the trails. I know have a full gym. I eventually had to get a bigger building and the township lets me rent the old school house. I have an early morning group, a mid morning group and and night group. I had my first group of people do a 5k after the first year, these people said that they would never be runners! I had two people in the group lose 50lbs in the first year and more after that.....I love my program and I wish I could commit even more time to it but I have to work also..lol and train. If you need more info please feel free to ask....

- It's nice to not be alone in the struggle with depression - and how it impacts training. Are you joining the group at the banquet or Sully's? It would be nice to meet in person, if it works out.

Julie Richman said… - hi joe, commenting on your tri singles comment...."normal" people don't understand the life of a triathlete, you have to meet someone doing the sport so you can share in the fun of racing, training, traveling, eating, etc. I tried a "normal" guy after dating triathletes and he was very jealous of all the time triathlon took from "us". So I said "See ya, I have to go train for IM Brazil now " :0

- The weather is pretty nice usually... starting to warm up... probably upper 80's low 90's... nice weather though. May isn't usually too terribly windy - especially since you're not right on the gulf coast for the race... Should be a great race!
As far as the wheels... I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE them! They are amazing and fast! :) GREAT choice on my part for those particular wheels! :D Sometimes the wind (cross) makes a difference but as long as you have a strong core, you should be fine... I haven't had too much of an issue with them the first time riding w/ hard winds was different but not too bad... :D
