Comment on 3 Phases to Going Pro by Ross

Ross — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 11:00:39 +0000

I’m 27 years old and I’m about to participate in my first Triathalon. It’s the lava man on Kona. I found this new passion of mine while joining team and training. I’m doing it for the memory of my mom and my child hood friend, who both lost their battles with cancer. I thought triathalons would be a cake walk, but as I’m learning, it not so easy. I stumbled across this website wondering what it would take to be a professional triathlete… It looks like it would take a lot. I do have natural athletic talent and currently am training my guts out for this thing, and I just want you to know that your plan puts it into perspective. The triathletes who go out and compete inspire me. Maybe one day I could get there, but I want you to know that I’m cheering for you as well. I’ve included the link just if anyone would like to know more or support my cause. Good luck to all and I hope to see you out there one day.

Comment on Afghanistan = High Altitude Training by The Triathlon Man

Eve,

The air quality is really bad there and although I think you’ll be able to manage, I’m not qualified enough to give you an answer with 100% certainty. It’s going to be rough at first, but you do get used to it over time.

I’m thinking about going there to work, I have asthma. Do you think that would present a problem.

Thank you

Ryan,

Thanks for commenting, great to hear from you!

Unfortunately, my OBX plans hit a snag with some work related issues. I’ve thought about going anyway, but if I learned anything from my experience at the Pinehurst Triathlon (results yet to be posted…need to get on that), it’s that I shouldn’t go into an even underprepared. I could finish, but I don’t want to kill myself.

The good news is that I have all winter to prepare for Boston, which I’ll be attending thanks to a free military slot.

What has your season/training been like? Would love to hear more.

Nathan

How’s the lead up to the obx marathon coming? I have been following for a little while now but for some reason I have been unusually quite. I live in Jacksonville (Camp Lejeune area), my wife is a Navy Nurse, and have similar ambitions to earn a pro card from USAT.

Anyway, just wanted to break the silence and wish you a strong day at OBX.

I’ll definitely be working on that this off season. Still in the military, but hadn’t tried to get any sponsors. I have thought about it though.
