I have been competing in triathlons for 24 years with a focus over the last 5 years toward Ultra-Distance triathlons. I have competed in several Double Ultra competitions and last year completed the Quintuple Ironman (5 Ironmans continuous). This year’s focus is the DECA Triathlon (10 full triathlons – 1 per day for 10 straight days) in Monterrey Mexico.

History: The first Double Triathlon competition (4.8 miles swimming, 224 miles biking, 52.4 miles running) was held in Huntsville, Alabama in… Continue

Hello everyone,
I am a new member. I live in Ajax, Ontario ( 40 min. east of Toronto, Ontario). I recently did my first 1/2 ironman ( Ironman Muskoka). It was fantastic, but before that, I registered to compete in the 2010 IM Canada. I know this is an entirely different monster.

I would like to know if anyone knows good mount… Continue

Yesterday, I did my 200th triathlon at Westchester. The Westchester Triathlon was also my 1st ever triathlon on August 17, 1986, when it was a sprint distance race from Rye Playland to White Plains High School.

My result was pretty descent; 5th A/G finish in a pretty competitive group (my last year in th… Continue

Last Sunday I finished a Sprint. 400yds Swim/ 12.5 Bike / 2 mile run.
I did not trained like I did for the Half Iron- but I have been running, biking, and swimming off and on for the last few months. Nothing hard but enough to do the Sprint. My goal was to be in the top 50 and finish at 1hr5min

After the race I learned a couple of things about the areas of improvement.
In the swim, I never found my rhythm nor a good comfortable pace. It is never the same when you train indoor and then you hit t… Continue
