A group site providing support, encouragement, resources and connections to help iamtri-ers competing in Ironman Arizona 2010 to finish with their best possible time and a powerful experience.
Irresponsible triathletes who dream of quitting their jobs and because they can't, schedule work around their training. You know you'd quit your job and train 24/7 if you could afford it.
Philadelphia Triathletes, look no further. I am the person you want to speak with about triathlon'ing. Ok maybe not. But I have done a few and am gearing up for an Ironman in '09. Who's in?? Note - the picture is of Michael Nutter and DJ Jazzy Jeff.
Triathlete and Ironman. Completed my first this year (2009), IM China in 113 degrees heat. What an inferno. Glad to have that one done. Next up, IM Arizona.
Running for the past two years, speed and endurance continue to accumulate. Its now probably on par with bike strength that in contrast was built over 9 years of mountain biking and rode biking.
Currently working out 10-16 hrs a week, lots of weekend rides, running, and swimming. Working out with Silicon Valley Tri Club, Grizzly Peak Cyclists, and team Hypercat.
My Tri Story:
Background in mountain biking and started rode biking in 2002. Inspired by Lance. Couple of centuries in 2007 and decided to go do a Triathlon. Really inspired by summer trip in 2007 while on the Big Island; caught the tri bug - the spirit of Aloha, the Queen K, and the lava fields made me dream of a Kona slot. Trained like 6 hours a week for my first tri, SF Triathlon at Treasure Island. At the time, that seemed like a lot of hours, working out 5 or 6 days a week. Now, my workouts are up to 8 - 10 times per week; there are days with double and triple workouts.

Hey Steve! Congrats on your race! I guarantee you finished WAY ahead of me :) the race was amazing.. I love the course... I did shave a little over a minute per mile on my run which I was pleased with.... My bike course could hav ebeen shortened by at least ten minutes, but I stopped several times to help people out... which of course i lost momentum. I was shooting for 5:30, but lost some time... It's all good! You'll have a great season coming up.. stay focused and train hard!! This long distance stuff KILLS me :) The short stuff.. I am much better at! :) lol Cheers!
