Hello all, This August, I finished my first Ironman (IMKY) in 12:59:54; now I'm hooked. Sure, maybe it sounds crazy, but I've decided I'd like to work towards qualifying for Kona before I turn 30 (5 yrs). Given that this is my long term goal, I was wondering what shorter-term objectives I should set for myself this year, especially with respect to race selection.

Hi everyone, I'm just getting into the sport and just joined the trifuel community. My goal for the '10 season is to finish the new york city tri in the top half of the field. This will be my first olympic distance race.

I just moved to Denver from NJ about week ago (I know how much people from Colorado love east coast transplants). I've been in my "off-season" since mid July (brought on by vacation and the work required to move), but now I'm ready to get back into the swing of things. Anyone here live in Denver and have some advice on where to train? Do you drive out to the mountains for your long rides/runs? - AT

I am relatively new to triathlon, came from play lacrosse and football. I began training for Ironman Coeur d' alene five months ago using an online training guide. I have progressed to the point where I can swim around 3,500 yards, Bike up to 70-80 miles and run 13-14 miles. I know this might sound ridiculous but is this good so far after five months of training with 7 months to go till IMCD?

I have completed one Ironman, and would love to do another one in a year or two....the major difference being I want to do the next one in 10 Hrs or less. Any Sub 10Hr people out there have any secrets they would like to share? All of my workout results, and personal stats are being posted on a sort of web journal http://www.trainforten.vex-d.com

Hi!

The past two years of my life have been quite interesting with all the events life has given me.

I will be working in Denver for the next six months and was wondering if there were any trifuelers in the area. Was hoping to find a good gym, masters team, advice on trails and training partners. Any takers?!

I am trying to plan my triathlon training for next year. I just have some questions to the ones who have more experience than I do with this, but 1 what is generally a good amount of time to take off between the time you officially finish your regular season training to the time you start your off season training.
