What do you like to do when you're not training for triathlons?
There's a time when I'm not supposed to train? I also enjoy baseball with my 15 yo son, any time with my wife, guitar, and sightseeing when I'm traveling for work (after work ofc ourse).

Tell us a good triathlon story: 
I don't have one, but last Sunday (3/14/10), I walked the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China 2 steps at a time in 6" of snow as a fun training session. It rocked.

Anything else?
I love to train, I think I should race more this year. Took time away for grad school and am back to where I want to be.

Frank,

It's good to see you on the forums! I can't wait for some warmer weather and more training. I'm also looking to race a little more this year.

What races are you looking at doing this year?

Hi Frank! I'm glad you have decided to join us here. We are definitely in the same boat... wanting to race more often! I hope to see you out at the races.

Glad to see other Triathletes in the Troy/Clawson area. I have friends who are training for the Motor City Tri but they live so far away.

Jared,

I never responded to your question about what tri's I'm doing this year:

1. Lifeteime Fitness indoor tri (completed)
2. Seahorse Olympic (05/30)
3. Kensington Sprint (06/27)
4. Benton Harbor 70.3 (07/31) - My Big Race This Year
5. Three Rivers Olympic (08/21)
6. Chicago Sprint (08/29) - My Original Big Race Until Things Started Rolling

I'm excited and ready for 05/30 and I did pretty well at the LTF tri (4th overall). Really looking forward to 07/31 - I know I can do the distances, now I'm working on putting all the pieces together.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
