Looking for training partners

As most of the folks on here, I am always looking for ways to better my training.  I live in Essex Junction and am looking for someone to train with me for the upcoming year.  I have the Burlington Triathlon next on my list.  This will be the first olympic distance I do.  I am looking for someone, preferably someonne who has done a few races, to come out and beat me up for a few sessions and see how things go.  If our training goes well and our times and distances are comparable, I would like to set a one year goal of a half Ironman.  Maybe the Mooseman Half.  Anyway, let me know if there is anyone who may be interested.  I can be reached at [email protected].  this is the easiest way to get in touch with me.  I look forward to seeing everyone in the upcoming races. Best wishes to all.
