Hello,
I love message boards, I live in Ann Arbor, and I love doing Triathlons.

I can't believe that after doing my first race at the very end of the 2008 season, I'd spend all of last year budgeting and looking for races and training. I'm totally addicted.

My background is swimming, and I tend to do pretty well on the swim portions of the races. I am a fine cyclist, but I still get ...

Met four Detroit Iron group members riding at Island Lake today and learned about the group. Given my work schedule I have typically trained alone in the past, but thought I'd investigate participating to make it a little more interesting.

Not doing an Ironman this year, but did Ironman Canada last year - my first one. Looking to do another Ironman event in 2011 - thinking about Louisville or even France. Any suggestions?

I will ...

Hello all, I'm new to the area, just moved from Pensacola, FL and live in Royal Oak just north of Detroit.

I'm 29 and ran distance (track & cross country) competitively through high school and college. I picked up cycling a few years ago and enjoyed it more than running, and I've always been a strong swimmer, so I figured triathlons would be a natural progression.

So far I've done 3 sprints and one olympic ...

My name is Lee and searching for training locations. My first Tri will be the Motor City Tri on June 13th.

Hello, my name is Ben McCracken. I am new to triathlon. My goal is to do some Olympic distance tris this year, maybe capping off the season with a half Ironman in the fall. It is a pleasure to meet everyone and I look forward to working hard together for a sport and a good cause.

Started training for tri's three years ago as a way to maintain focus in the gym. I was tired of running on the treadmill and riding the stationary bike, and wanted to have an excuse to get back in the water. Mid life crisis I guess.

Started by getting back in the Macomb Township rec center pool every other Friday, and my first race was an indoor race at the City of Warren pool. Although ...
