does anyone out there work for a company, or have their own company, that would be willing to hire high school interns? I work at a small school in Bushwick (The Bushwick School for Social Justice) who has a group of seniors very interested in getting some work experience. This can be anything you can imagine, last year we had kids working at the hospital, animal shelter, etc.
In particular this year we have a group of students interested in cooking and the restaurant industry. Also, a group of students interested in all aspects of law (becoming lawyers, detectives, etc.)
Anyway, these internships could be unpaid and start with little else than clerical work until you find out how you can work together. Let me know if you have any ideas.
The weather *seems* to be holding up, Brick is on. Heavy rain between now and then may cancel it though, use your judgement!

Hi all,
First, I want to thank everyone for their advice. I guess I sometimes get carried away when I do a race. I love that feeling when I cross the finish line and the first thing I ask myself is "when is my next race." Since I just started doing triathlons in 2005 (before that I never ran and learned how to swim just to do the race), I'm not planning on doing an ironman in the near future. I understand the time it takes to train and right now, it's not something I can do. Maybe when I retire at 55, I'll have more time. Why does work always get in the way of fun? lol Anyway, for now I'll focus on my Olymic and half distances and have fun with those. Again, thank you all for your comments. And when my mother asks me again about the ironman, I'll tell her I'm not thinking about it. If I do it when I'm 55, she'll be 84. I'll worry about it then. :)

Just a note to mention how important it is to have some lights on your bike if you're riding at night or early in the morning these days. They make you visible to pedestrians, other cyclists and cars. A headlight can also make it possible to see the many potholes that hide in the shadows. Any decent bike shop should have a good selection. If you're coming to the brick tomorrow night, keep in mind that it gets dark around 7:30 and you should really have some lights if you're riding after that.
i apologize if my reply sounded like "don't do IM if you're not fast" i didn't mean that. i was just trying to answer the questions "is it safe?" i think anyone can do it with their mind put to it.
i have asked around, and the average figure i seems to be 12 hours per week for about 10 months of the year to train to finish an IM. a considerable chunk of time.
although under trained. I believe IM is all in the mind. My motto was slow and steady.
Also, this picture says it all at the end of completing an IM.

Karyn,
I would try and deflect the negative aspects of it and talk about the positive. Training for and completing an Ironman was probably the most difficult thing I've ever done, but also one of my most proud achievements. It's a life changing experience, very tough on you mentally as well as physically, I don't know if anyone is ever really ready for their first one. However, the satisfaction you will feel after you've completed the event is unparalelled and will be a constant reminder to you that you can pretty much do anything you set your mind to.
If you're only considering doing it once, then the chances of doing any real permanent damage are vey small, just keep the rubber side down.
Best of luck to you on your journey, if that's what you decide to do.

I guess surviving the training is the key as to whether one should do it or not. I've trained with a bunch of folks that have been
successful in their IM attempts, some really fast Hawaii qualifiers and some more "normal" (uh...yeah, ok...none of them is what I'd consider "normal"). I realized they only did their IM attempts until
they were well seasoned (like 5 years minimum of marathoning, short course tri's and half IM's...sprinkle in some 10k's, 5k's and half marathons also). I guess it depends on your athletic background. I'm
not
talking about whether your fast or not, I'm talking about whether your body has shown signs that it can take more and recover quickly from what you've given it. Nothing is like an IM in terms of what it
does to your body and what you have to do to your body to get one done. What I would do is maybe show your family the things you've done athletically and how well you did (both in the event and afterwards recovering) and they'll realize that you're made for this stuff.

worked out for John.

although under trained. I believe IM is all in the mind. My motto was slow and steady.
Also, this picture says it all at the end of completing an IM.

Karyn,
I would try and deflect the negative aspects of it and talk about the positive. Training for and completing an Ironman was probably the most difficult thing I've ever done, but also one of my most proud achievements. It's a life changing experience, very tough on you mentally as well as physically, I don't know if anyone is ever really ready for their first one. However, the satisfaction you will feel after you've completed the event is unparalelled and will be a constant reminder to you that you can pretty much do anything you set your mind to. If you're only considering doing it once, then the chances of doing any real permanent damage are vey small, just keep the rubber side down.
Best of luck to you on your journey, if that's what you decide to do.

What I would do is maybe show your family the things you've done athletically and how well you did (both in the event and afterwards recovering) and they'll realize that you're made for this stuff.

Hi guys, I was chatting with a friend of mine in the service industry
last night and thought I'd do her and all service industry employees a
favor by reminding everyone of tipping etiquette. When you have a gift
certificate for a service, such as a massage, facial, or manicure,
please remember to TIP. A freebie doesn't mean that you can ignore the
rules of politeness. If you had a gift certificate to a restaurant,
you would still tip your server. The same goes for any other personal
service you receive. Tip your masseusse/hairdresser etc as you would
if you were paying for the entire service.
Cheers!
You're really asking the age old question, but at least you're asking
the question. Triathletes have many different goals - some want to
build speed and win races, others want to accomplish the ultimate
Everest climb and jump right in to an IM for their first race. Only
you can really answer this question for yourself. Personally, I do a
6 hour half IM and wouldn't consider doing an IM, even though I could
probably carve out the time to train - suffering for 14 hours doesn't
sound like fun to me. I don't want to sit on my bike for 7 hours, nor
do I want to run for 5+ hours (I would love to do the swim though).
But there are plenty of folks who don't feel like an IM is a half day
of suffering. Maybe one day I'll feel differently, but chances are,
if you have the taste for iron, you won't get it out of your system
until you do an iron distance race.
As for your mothers worries, I think the real health issues that come
up with going long are the simple overuse injuries like ITB, knee
problems, plantar fascitis, etc. These probably aren't the kind of
injuries that will concern a parent, but they will botch up your
training either before or after your race. Therefore, if you do
pursue your goal, I'd reccomend that you make sure your running form
is good - if it's not then spend the fall and winter focussing on
that. Hook up with John Stewart for some one-on-one form coaching or
at least check out Evolution Running by Ken Mierke. (I also swear by
regular massages and ART Therapy to stave off overuse injuries).
Good luck, and keep us posted on what you decide to do.
Emily
PS There are probably a few ways you could buy some "free speed": 1)
join a Masters Swim class; 2) consult with a professional fitter to
get a good aero position on your bike; and 3) improve your running
form.

any parent will naturally be worried to death with their child undertaking something as monumental and grueling as an IM. IM Lake Placid being my first and not doing a half prior was something that had not only my parents but my wife more concerned about my well being than i would have imagined. some of the things i did to try to ease their minds was to make sure my doctor gave me a clean bill of health. my wife being a nurse was an advantage but also not. i didnt prepare as much as i should, but with a couple of marathons behind me and a good bit of cycling this year, computrainer classes at citicoach during the winter and the conrad rides on saturday where clutch, i knew i would complete it. if your mother sees that you are preparing yourself for an IM, it should ease her mind a little, but unfortunately parents worry. that's the way it is. hope this helps.

I am not a mom, but an aunt who uses my sister's babyjogger. She bought the jeep that has a pedometer and a speaker for you to hook your ipod into. This way you can listen to music and still hear the baby. It also has a water holder. I love using it.
