Mike,
I just got your IM 36 week program; I'm doing my first IM in Mexico Cozumel Nov. 29th 2009 and just have 23 weeks to race day. My last competition was a 1/2 IM in Nov. 2008 and since then not much training at all... Change work and move over China. Just wonder in which week I should start the programs as I just being biking and swimming randomly for just 1 week now.

Mike -
thanks for having the vision to create such a site! A fellow team member, Sarah DalFol suggested that we use the site as a place for the team to communicate about workouts, insetad of lots of emails back and forth.

Hey mike, training (week 6 of ultra) for my first ironman in October (Great Floridian), and got a big bug from my kids. Have had to slow down due to fever, nausea etc... should I repeat the week or continue as niormal? Thanks for all your help. BTW I have not heard anything regarding the apparell in a while, any new news?

Hi Mike

thanks

Looks like you commented on one of my pics. Actually that was last year's bike. We tweaked the geometry a bit and went carbon fiber...custom Calfee tetras. Weighs in two lbs lighter and it much smoother. I had the one Mr. Scott rode in '94 and while it didn't fit great I did some of my best ever riding on it.

To answer your question...hell ya we're doing Columbia. It's a great race and I can sleep in my own bed the night before. I'm thrilled that this year it's 4 weeks out of Eagleman, usually it's only 3.

No, Flying, but flying leaves a huge carbon footprint as well, So i'm including in my overall numbers. I may take it out later if it is too lopsided. The idea to is to try to use HPV for day-today stuff...

I have driven from Anchorage to Mexico before though. Went on a 6 month climbing roadtrip and drove from Anchorage to Mexico to Kentucky and back with lots in between..... Lots of driving.....

Thanks for you comment Mike, I have now posted a photo at Shelly and your request☺ I only started your program half way through week 3 and like many who seem to start your program had trouble controlling my HR through the runs. I will stick it out for the 3-4 weeks it takes to come under control. Something I noticed that I found really interesting with my HR (only brought the monitor this week), when I was running and daydreaming at the beautiful Vancouver shoreline my heart rate was a good 10 beats under than when I was concentrating on my running and HR. This was without altering my pace, I either have to learn to daydream more or relax more when concentrating on running. I am liking the program so far and look forward to continuing with it in the coming 33 weeks.

Thanks Mike.

Yeah it adds a new dimension to my tri plans now that the "next generation" are getting involved. I'm very excited about training with my son...hope he likes it and sticks with it.

That's great about Brian at the Y....I'll contact him.

Hi Mike.

Got a question for you regarding a new triathlete with little swim background and bad swim genetics...namely my 17 yr. old son, Kevin.

He's decided to enter a tri next year with me and his 19 yr old cousin.

My dilemma is how to start him off correctly...initial thought is heavy dose of drills and instruction by the right person (not me!)

I have the total immersion tapes, but I know that their are varying opinions of that method.

Kevin is a good athlete and usually takes very quickly to whatever athletic endeavor he attempts...just don't want him to start with bad habits.

Thanks.

PS. Feel free to copy and post somewhere else on site if you think others will benefit from discussion.

Thanks.
