SF Bay Area/East Bay training partner/coach/club

guest — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 21:29:38 GMT

I am a 35yr old age grouper in Oakland. Have done Olympic distance tri's and currently training for a half ironman at Vineman/Barb's Race at the end of July. I have been training hard all spring/summer and am loving it but I'm starting to get a bit lonely on all of the long runs/bikes/etc. I'm looking for a training buddy possibly, or maybe a club to join. Does anyone have any opinions about the san francisco tri clubs - SF or Golden Gate? Do either of them have many east bay members? Also, I am looking to pick up my speed and get some tips on nutrition and running form so would love to find a coach I could have a few sessions with. Any suggestions for good bay area coaching?

Thanks!!!

San Francisco Tri Club query

guest — Mon, 24 May 2010 06:59:54 GMT

I am a 24 y/o age grouper who just moved from Cincinnati to SF. I was looking at the area tri clubs and have turned up SF Tri Club and the Golden Gate Tri Club. It seems as if the GGTC is a little bigger and I have heard decent things about GGTC, but I know very little about either club. After the move and new job, I need to get back into training harder and think that I'd benefit from some group training.

Has anyone had experience with either/both clubs? How were the people/social aspects, the training opportunities, member benefits, etc.? Any recommendations based on what you liked or disliked?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

Looking for a training partner for my first triathlon in Chicago south suburbs

guest — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 20:04:30 GMT

I signed up for the super sprint distance of the Chicago Triathlon. I know, I know it is so short, but I want to get my feet wet before I sign up for longer distances. I am a total newbie to the triathlon world. I have only done two 5k races and that was in the last 2.5 years. I love to swim, but had about an 8 year break while I had my 3 young boys. My youngest is approaching one-year-old now and I am trying hard to get back to a thinner, happier me. I decided to sign up for the triathlon as motivation to keep going. It would be great to find someone in the area that has done this before. I live in a south suburb of Chicago near Joliet. Any support would be appreciated.

Triathlon Training in Southern Oregon

guest — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 04:17:57 GMT

I'm training for Ironman Coeur d'Alene 2011 and I'm looking for people to train with in Oregon. I spend a lot of time in both Medford and Eugene so anywhere around there would be great. It would be especially great if I met a swimmer as I suck greatly at it and could use some pointers.

Review of Triathlon Club Competitions in California

guest — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 03:49:36 GMT

This is my review of the growing number of triathlon club competitions http://scendurance.blogspot.com/2010/12/preview-of-2011-triathlon-club.html

Anyone know of others? Who would like to see a bone fide series and standard scoring system to establish the fastest triathlon club in your state or nationally?

Benefits of a team

guest — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:53:24 GMT

What would the benefit of starting or joining a local triathlon team be? I know a handful of people in my local area that perform in triathlons and thought it would be good to get us all together as a "team". First, how would I go about doing this? Do we need sponsors and how would I get companies to sponsor us? What would be the benefit to the company sponsoring? Advertising? I guess a benefit for the athletes would be to have others to hold you accountable and for group training opportunities. I would like some ideas from others that have done this themselves. Thanks.
