What are you Training for?

nmcdonald@lifetimefitness.com — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 16:35:55 GMT

I’m just curious what Life Time Fitness triathletes are training for? What events and where you will be competeing?. Perhaps we can get an idea of who will be where and meet up before or after the races. We could even do group workouts if we are training for the same events.

I have been training for the Grand Haven (MI) Sprint Triathlon on the 12^th of July (this Sunday). I am also planning on competing in the Tawas Olympic Triathlon in September.Will any of you be there to compete too?

Triathlon Wetsuit

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:16:06 GMT

Anyone know how much time a wetsuit would shave from a 1/2 mile swim? Trying to get an idea of how fast my times might be without actually putting it on in this heat.

what type of bike to use?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 00:58:02 GMT

Does anyone have a recommendation for a type or brand of road bike to use for triathlons? There seem to be tons of options. I have a cross bike that I have had for quite a few years. Would that be adequate for a beginner triathlete?

Open water swimming v. pool swimming

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 15:02:24 GMT

Hello,

I am planning to register for the 2010 Ironman in Madison, WI. I was a competitive swimmer for 11 years, although that career ended almost 6 years ago! I am very comfortable swimming in a lap pool, but always had a fear of sorts with open water because usually it is dirty with poor visibility and I don't like the idea of fish nibbling on my arms/legs! I wanted to know if there are any suggestions to getting over these issues. I'm sure the main suggestion will be to practice in a lake.

Thanks!

Considering an Ironman

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:53:11 GMT

I am considering signing up for an Ironman. Have done many sprints, olympics and a Half. Any pointers on where to get started with nutrition, weights, and tri-specific cycling, running, and swimming?

Anyone participating in the Austin AVIA Triathlon (Sept 7)?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:44:22 GMT

I would like to meet people who are currently training for this triathlon or who have done it before. Looking to improve in swimming and transitions.
