Subject: Another Newbie!
I've just got into the sport but I'm already hooked! I did my 1st sprint tri (Parris Island) in March and finished in 1:15. I just did the Surf and Turf sprint tri in 1:12 and now I'm getting ready for the 1/2 IM in White Lake NC. I bought a Cannondale IM 800 and I have been training like crazy! I'm just looking for advice or any tri related info!!

Welcome my name twin. LOL. It's going to be a little confusing now that there are two Phoenixes!

Hey everyone! I am new to triathalons and I really need some encouragement! I am on month 2 and today I ditched my second workout this week and loaded up on KitKat's at the local gas station... I just feel really groggy lately! I need a little encouragement up here in Minnesota! I love this website though, it is so helpful for someone who knew nothing about triathalons 2 months ago. I'm competing in the Lifetime triathalon on July 17 here in Minneapolis.

Thanks for the welcome. By the way, I named myself "speed" only to give myself a mental boost...I'm not really that fast! I am currently using the training schedule that I found on this website. Do you guys think that running twice a week is really enough? I've only been running twice per week, but my runs are still really hard. Would 7 workouts a week be overtraining? Any one have any thoughts?

Subject: Hi Speed...
I'm not sure that you'll see this since it's buried, but welcome! I'm also in MN and am competing in the Lifetime tri this year. I live in Hastings and work in St. Paul. There are a few Minnesotans on this site actually.

I'm also feeling guilty and groggy today after skipping yesterday, but I know I just have to make double sure to get out on the bike today! Nothing can be done about the skipped days anymore, so I just keep pressing forward!

Good luck!
Kelly

Well, Phoenix may be your real name, but it's just a screen name for me. I'm from SC, close to the NC border. Does that count? ;-)

This is for Kelly from MN.  SPEED here.  Actually, my husband and I live in St. Paul and he works at the Wells Fargo in Hastings.  I also have a good friend who teaches at Hastings High School.  I'm glad there is another Minnesota-ite!  I did have a good bike ride today, which is a good start to my week.  Hopefully this week will be better than last!

Later!
