I'm a tad overwhelmed by the many choices when it comes to

speed is needed? (minimum) |

If you're attending the swim clinic tomorrow, it would be
helpful if you could bring a blank dvd so that after Steve
videos everyone, he can copy your video to a dvd for you.
(Otis Spunkmeyer banana nut muffins are optional, but they're
one of his favorites.) |

Matthew I just got this model:
Polar RS800 G3 GPS, itīs really good, one of the best. I would
always go with POLAR. Steve F. and I bought a couple years ago
POLAR 625X, he can tell you about it. Good luck and let me know
what you finally got, adios!!! |

Matt - I own a couple different brands of POLAR HR monitors,
which I did use...if GPS is a feature that interests you and
running pace (as well as HR), you may also want to look at
Garmins.... I own a Garmin 305 (there is a 405 in the works now
too) and the 305 has a multisport feature...you can get a quick
release for your bike...will you be at the swim clinic tomorrow?
I can bring it if you want to check it out....
I don't have problems with my POLARS in the pool either if you
were wondering. |

Does anyone here use a Polar or Ironman heart rate monitor? If
so, what kind, and are you happy with it? I'm in the market for
one, but not sure which model would best serve me in multisport. |

Howdy Folks:
Dummy me! I forgot to put in the e-mail I sent out that the swim
training/taping was this coming Friday night at 6 PM. Oops!
We had 3 new members contact me today with their address
information so we now (gulp) 38 members!
Also I received a super e-mail from Trace Adams. He has started
a new job as a trainer at DCS Fitness in Jacksonville and has
decided to not open up a coaching business. He has offered to be
the "un-official" coach of ETT and will help with maybe a clinic
or two or will help individuals when he can if you contact him
by e-mail. His E-mail is: traceadams@msn.com
Thanks Trace! |

Wowww, look at all the things I am missing being so far away.
That looks great!! A swimming clinic, shame!! I wish I was there
with you guys.I hope you had fun and learn a lot. Well, I just
got back from a triathlon campus in Canary islands(close to
Lanzarote).It was for 8 days,we swam 12.000mts, rode
400miles(ufff) and 40miles run weekly. I couldnīt believe it.
The rides were pretty tough, most of them big mountains,
uphill.Donīt think I am doing that everyweek, my toughest week
before that was 200miles and 30miles weekly.I really learn a
lot. My new coach organized it and we were 15 triathletes.Now I
am tired, this coming sunday I will do my first race, 1/2 hilly
marathon. Uff just 114days for Lanzarote and 164days for Austria
to go!!! You have fun at the clinic, I miss you guys, ahh I just
bought a power tap 2.4,from now on I will ride with watts, I am
really excited. Miss you guys, say hi to John Cobb!! |

Duke,
I just read your email about the swim clinic. I need to clarify
that my stroke count is not down since the TI workshop; my
stroke count increased by four strokes. However, I expect it to
decrease eventually, and regardless, I think my stroke somehow
is more efficient (if that's possible with an increased stroke
count). |

Longview Members -
I know many of you are doing the Freeze Your Fanny run/bike
events on Saturday AM...for those of you that are not, I am
looking for someone that may be interested in a long slow
run...I can start 4:30am or after - 10am the latest. I would
like to do 14 miles, at about a 9:25-9:40 pace. If you were
interested, and it worked out with timing, we could start around
6:30ish if you would like to attend a YOGA class (hey, it makes
you stretch) right afterwards...I could get a day pass for you.
With or without YOGA, let me know if you have interest. Thanks. |

Kahne--Thanks for setting this up. Yes, I plan to be there.
Bonny--You remembered! (must be Otis Spunkmeyer)
Travis--I wish I had attended a Total Immersion workshop when I
first started swimming in Aug. 2006. Hopefully you can attend
the swim clinic on Friday and identify any fundamentals on which
you may need to work.
Anyone interested--Steve and I plan to do our 12 mile evening
run from my house again this week, probably Thurs. 2.2 mile
loops, so you can do as much or little as you want. Sorry my
details about last night's run didn't post quickly. By the way,
if you ever say to Steve, "Let's do speedwork," you have to mean
it because he doesn't let you back out. |

This friday is fine with me. I am far from being a swim critic
but the underwater camera is pretty revealing. Maybe we can
share some ideas. Duke, Kami & I went through the two day clinic
put on by Total Emersion. They pounded into our heads, in the
classroom & the pool, fundamentals of effeciency. I have yet to
refine my swimming to where I am satisfied. I have discovered
that what we think we are doing underwater is not always
reality. The most helpful part of the TI workshop was the
instructors analyzing our videos. Though it be a little
embarassing at times. My goal is to improve my swim (my weakest
event), get Carlos off my back, and at the same time, keep up
with Duke.

I'm waiting to hear mainly from Steve: Mr Cameraman! It's at 6
p.m. at the OHPE Center. You go down Fifth St. and turn at the
light at the east end of campus (by the soccer field). You can
park across from OHPE. It's the big building behind Wagstaff
Gym, across the street from the Tyler Art Museum. I'll wait to
hear more from Sondra, but I expect we'll all just come in the
front door and have access to the changing rooms and showers.

area and plan to run the Azalea 10k route. This will be

Yes!!! The TJC pool is exclusively OURS! I heard from Sondra
Ramsour at TJC and the East Texas Triathletes can have the pool
for one hour on Friday at 6 p.m. for the price of 2 life guards:
$20! So Steve can get his camera and we can have our "clinic"!

Oh yeah I forgot mention that Bob Hepler (UTT XC Coach) is
probably having surgery as I type this on a hamstring that has
been damaged. They have to reattach a tendon or something like
that. Also he is has necrosis in his hip and has to have a piece
of that removed. I just found out last night. I don't know if he
wants me to share or not but he is a member of the club now. Be
sure to keep him in your prayers.

Howdy Folks:
I have updated the Member page (http://ettriathletes.com/members.htm)
to reflect the USAT Roster that Kahne will be sending in soon.
At this point we have 35 members moving us up to a Category 4
club size (30-59 members). Two names on the member page (Russell
Ivey and Chuck Lafferty) are not on the USAT roster because I do
not have all of their information needed. Carlos is not on the
USAT roster but is still on the member page because he is always
with us in spirit and contributes with great comments to
everyone on their trainings and competitions. I have added the
location city for each member just for your information as well
as highlighted the officers of our club and related their
position. I also changed a few e-mail addresses per member
requests.
As for your e-mail addresses on the websiteI have triple
protected these. It will be difficult (but not impossible) for
spammers to get them because they have been ASCII coded, encased
in Javascript, and then a SPAMbot has been added.
Happy Training!

Ironman SF,
Wind tunnel? This is the first I've heard of needing to cycle in
a wind tunnel. Someone insisted that I do Buffalo Springs, but
failed to mention any wind tunnel! Is there anything else I need
to be doing?
Anyone interested: Steve and I are planning a mock Azalea 10k
race Tuesday night--10k race pace. I'll post time & meeting
place details as soon as I know. We'll be doing our evening 12
mile run later this week, maybe Thurs.
William--I'm sure you can be ready for Buffalo Springs, as long
as you're not injured.
Bonny--No problem with the swim time. You'll do great. (Don't
leave your chip in your wetsuit!) |

Me again. Yes, I think you would easily be ready by then. The
swim is always wetsuit because the canyon lake is spring fed. Do
some training on Killer Hill, some TSP running and some more
cycling in a wind tunnel and you will be fine. |

Buffalo Springs is one of my favorite races. When you finish
there, you know you've gotten the full meal deal. All of the
elements are there. Heat, wind, hills & competition. I think
Charity could drum up a brand new "look" just for this race. I
would do it again this year, but it would be too close to my IM.

I am contemplating a 1/2 IM this year, but Buffalo Springs
conflicts with a planned family vacation. I will more than
likely do Iron Star on November 9th provided I think I can do
the swim before the cut off they give. I got the clearance from
my family that this one is okay...I have fulfilled the only
request by husband on it, and that was to increase my life
insurance policy.
William - if you are looking for a vote, my novice vote is yes,
provided your foot heals. |

Hey Clint,
I live in Tyler...so anyways...yeah, but since B&B is canceled
that gives me more training time for Spring Fever. I think I
want to get up to a 100 miles of solid riding about 2 weeks
before. I usually ride with with Mike Follis, Chauncey
Deller,and his brother Eric.
Matt,
I can't attend the clinic because of work, but you have to
promise to take good notes and tell me what you learn. I would
be interested in hearing.
Ok Gene is running on the treadmill up here I am about to go
tell him to throw in some fartleks so he can beat Steve in
Athens ;) |

Everyone:
I just spoke with Steve Farris, and the date for the John Cobb
bike clinic has been set for Monday, February the 4th at 7:00
PM. It will be held at Elite Bicycles, located on the back side
of the shopping center behind Chilis. If you don't know where it
is, feel free to contact me.
Stan Wilson was the first to volunteer to be the guinea pig, so
he will be given the wonderful opportunity. The fitting will
take approximately 2-2.5 hours. Stan, please contact Steve or
myself to let us know you are still interested.
For the rest of the members, I strongly urge you attend this
clinic. John will be giving awesome information as he fits Stan.
Not only is it important that we let him know we value the fact
he took time out of his very busy schedule to help our team, but
what you learn from him is priceless. I mean the guy used to fit
Lance Armstrong! |

William,
That sounds really good. As Bonny mentioned, I am smack-dab in
the hell that is Ironman training. Oh, but I love this hell! You
mention long rides. I've recently learned that long rides are
relative after riding with Gina. A long ride for me is anything
over 50, but to her it's quite different.
On a flat course I try to maintain an 18-19 avg over my longer
rides of 60-90 miles. Usually 1-2 mph slower with hills. I'll be
building over the next 6-8 weeks. I'm at 85 tomorrow, and I'll
be at 90 next week.
If anybody else is interested, we should try to make this a
weekly event. Just because you have no intentions of riding that
long doesn't mean you can't join in for at least a part of the
ride. I have no problem riding smaller loops, especially if that
means I have company.
Does anybody know any good routes? I'm currently using routes
made by the Longview Bike Club.

Ashley, Don't worry. Some of us are training for longer distance
races, so that's why we're putting in lots of miles.
Bonny, I decided to stop focusing on my hips/kick/timing because
I was so defeated by it that I couldn't face the pool. I went
back to focusing on just the things that I seem to be able to
get, as difficult as it has been, and just tried to swim and
maintain them. I was able to do that for the 42 laps, with
constant concentration and making corrections as needed. The
lower half of my body is not pulling its weight, literally, much
less propelling the rest of me, but I just lack the coordination
to put it all together yet--plus it was fatiguing my lower back
so badly. When I have everything else down, maybe I can try it
again. |

Thanks for the updates on the runs, William. Clint might
actually be a good training partner for your long rides... Clint
should have noted that he is IMAZ training - (spring, not fall
like Kami)...his planned brick for this Saturday is an 85...not
a typo 85 mile bike ride and then a 4 mile run....yikes.
Kami, yes, I did my longest pool swim ever (in my whole life-lol)
53 laps. Yes, for some of you that is just a dip in the pool in
the am, I know. I am so ready for it to warm up so I can start
open water swimming. |

Hey everyone,
Just to clear things up. The Longview Running Club is having a
5k event on February 9th, at 8AM I believe at Lake Gladewater.
I've run out there before and it's a nice place around at the
lake. Overall, it is good training for a triathlete since it is
low key.
The "Cheetah" Memorial 5k is March 1st 8AM at Springhill High
School in Longview 8AM. I understand they have some unique
things for this event. "Cheetah" a.k.a. Norbert Korzeniewski was
killed around the end of august to the beginnings of September
last year when I was still president of the club. He was in his
late 40's and his truck has stalled out on a highway in Longview
and had gotten out to push it when another car struck his truck
and his truck ran over him tragically ending in a death. He left
behind two kids and a wife. He was actually the person who got
me into the Longview Running Club when I was 12 years old.
Due to injuries I doubt I will make the club run in February and
I might be a volunteer or running real easy at the Cheetah 5K.
To Clint: I am hoping to begin my triathlon training either next
Saturday (Feb.3rd) or sometime after with my long bike rides
Saturday mornings....if you can average 16-20 mph for a very
long time that would be great.
I am actually think I am gonna bike race in March and see where
my talent takes me with that.
March 15- Beauty and the Beast 5k - Tyler
March 29- Spring Fever -Sulphur Springs

Thank you all for the warm welcome and the wonderful advice (Kami,
Bonny, Kahne, Clifford, Duke, WK and others) I am in awe of some
of the miles you folks are putting in. I know the Athens sprint
will kill me-- hopefully not though.
I will absolutely be in Athens on Feb 23rd for the practice run.
That will really help me!
Thanks again. I really look forward to learning from each of
you.

Bonny,
I'll have to work on that one. Actually, last week I could have
said, "I can't swim one lap at the pool without stopping." But
this week I did 42 laps without stopping, so I'll have to come
up with something else.
I hear you've been swimming long! |

Wrecking on the bike leg...turning ankles on the run...what are
you going to say to make us worry about your swim leg for IMAZ??? |

Hey all,
I met a few of you at the meeting at Tyler State Park a few
months back, and I had no clue that this forum existed. I
thought it would be a good place to post and see if anybody is
interested in riding on the weekends. I was hoping to get out
both Saturday and Sunday this weekend, preferably in the
Longview area. If anybody else has a ride already planned, let
me know.

Duke, My biggest excitement on last night's run was when my hero
rescued me from turning my ankle. I should put him on my Road
ID: Contact--Hero. The second most exciting thing was being on
the last mile. My heart rate did go up a bit when I thought for
a brief moment that we were all locked out of the house, in the
cold.
Charity, How are your feet today? |

Yes - there is a LRC run on March 1st...for those of you that
CAN make...it is called the Cheetah Run - there is information
on it on their site. I do know the members have worked hard for
door prizes, and are even getting together some age group prizes
among other things - I think it is best for William to say
something about the run - it is actually a fundraiser for the
family of a man that passed away last year. I did not personally
know him, but I know William did. |

Travis:
I sent you an e-mail with the form for membership. Let me know
if you get it. Sometimes AOL conflicts with Hotmail.
Steve and Kami:
Thanks for including me on the run last night! I had a good one
after I loosened my bungee laces a notch or two. The run was
unevenful--no bullets or high speed chases this time!
Everyone:
I received a note from Bonny saying that there was a Longview
Running Club event on Feb. 1, so doing the Athens trial run
would work better on the 23rd. I checked with Steve, so let's
plan the trial run for that date. This is the same day as our
club meeting that afternoon at 5 PM in Tyler. Don't miss this
opportunity--it was the single "best" thing I did to prepare for
Athens last year. |

Duke,
I am actually working out at etmc cedar creek lake now, with my
primary job is to teach water fitness class and take care of the
pool, while I tend to more of helping out on the floor and doing
fitness assessments occasinally and folding lots and lots of
towels. Hopefully, within a few weeks I can start joining ya'll
on the activities again ;) |

To those of you that might be interested, Duke & I plan on going
to Athens a week or maybe two before the race for a training
day. Five dollars will get you in the pool. It's a very low key
day, consisting of swimming for a while, cycling the 14mi course
and running a mile or so, or the 5k if your that energetic. If
this is your first triathlon, it could be helpful with getting
rid of some of the jitters. E-mail Duke or I if you are
interested and we will choose the sat. (feb. 23 or march 1st). |

Are you working evenings now for ETMC? |

Travis,
As an executive board member for the club, I would encourage ET
Tri membership only, due to the fact that this club is free and
we welcome you. Please send your name, age, dob, address, email
to Duke Gill's email. We will be glad to have you as a member.
Thanks,
William |

I think that Friday, February 8th appears to be getting the
least resistance. Steve has been handling this with John so far,
so I will defer to him on the final decision. I will try and
call Steve tonight to see what he thinks. Possible locations are
Elite Bicycles (behind Chilis in Tyler) and John's house
(Whitehouse). |

Matt / Steve:
It looks as from all of the responses that the best date for the
clinic is in the evening (after 4:30) on Monday, February 4 or
Friday February 8. Either will be great for me and I'll
certainly be there! Thanks Steve and Matt for talking to John
and getting this terrific opportunity arranged. Let us know
which date you arrange and I'll add a note to the news and
calendar page of the website.

I cannot attend the clinic if it's on Tues. Feb. 5 because I

nights. |
