Thanks for the great and swift replies!
I'm in Burlington, Vermont. I joined EABC half-way through the winter
and got a couple sessions in with Patrick Coffey before the season
wore out. Anyone who's into pictures might enjoy my photos of Nor Am
#4 in Jericho

higher res images if someone is pictured and wants a good version of a
shot).
The reason for my initial question is more about how to plan my
training for the 2008/2009 season; especially what to including in the
training. For me the fun is doing the work and tracking it and seeing
how/if it has any effect on race performance.
I agree that biathlon is definitely up my alley with multiple things
to track/consider (physical exertion vs mental concentration... you
just can't beat that--immovable object vs the unstoppable force).
Thanks for the great thoughts and I'll let you all know how it goes. I
hope to see you all this summer and next winter!

Oh yeah and Kevin Brooker: I had already decided to try biathlon when
I stumbled on your articles. I'm trying to pre-emptively prevent
slug-body. ;)
