Now that there's a little bit of distance after the end of the local tri season, I'm interested in hearing how things went for everyone. How many times did...
This was my first season, and I think it went just fine. I did three tri's and one du (plus I did the MS 150 charity bike ride). I surprised myself by never...
Hello TCTRI group! My name is Bruce Martens and I have been a member of the group since the summer. I race mountain bike on the MNSCS circuit as well as the...
I had a great first season and am absolutely hooked! I did 8 tris in all (7 sprint and 1 Olympic). The biggest thing that was hard for me was keeping up my...
Does anyone have any suggestions about where to go for some inexpensive (read: no cost would be nice) swim lessons? I live in the south west burbs in...
A lot of people use masters swim sessions to work on their swimming. These are large, generally coached sessions. The coaching is not going to be the same...

Wind trainers are horrifically loud. Your family will hate you, your neighbors will hate you. People flying over your house will use the air-phone to tell...
Hey scott, I bought one from eriks last fall and spent a few extra bucks to get a quiet one and I'm really glad I did. If you spend any amount of time on it...
Thanks for the input on stationary trainers. I am interested in getting one, also. One additional question I have is whether using a trainer accelerates wear...

Thanks everyone for the input....thanks Rich, I'm sure my family thanks you too....Rich, if you could, take a look at the links I attached..which one did you...
The one from REI looks to be exactly what I have, and I'm enormously satisfied. The last link, with the heavy weight flywheel looks pretty cool, and might let...
