My parents are about to race in their first Ironman. I am signed up to volunteer, and plan to be their sherpa... Any advice or thoughts on how to make their life better? Anything anyone did for you either during or after your Ironman race that made the event more special? Ideas are appreciated! Thanks!

Hey guys, I just posted an article on trijuice about the drafting issues in Clearwater. I also posted a quick 6 question, Yes or No survey. I think we have a few past or current Clearwater participants here. Would you mind participating. Help us and the WTC see what's going on by participating: Ironman 70.3 Clearwater Drafting Coverage and Survey TRImapper.com - visual triathlon finder TRIJUICE.com - triathlon news and resource site

Ok So I decided I am going to train this winter for a olympic Tri in May. I also want to do a half marathon the week before the tri. Is this a bad thing or a good thing? Is it bad to train for both a tri and a marathon?

I am to be a volunteer at the Ironman Western Australia (Busselton) - in transition for the swim to bike leg. I am new at sprint triathlons (about 10) and other than watching Ironman events on TV I have never been to a live event. I was a Bike Marshall at the World LD and the main requirement was cheering everyone on which I think I achieved :). the journey is the reward

Hey all, Read an interesting article about training with "instability apparatus" that I thought the group might find interesting.

Hopefully this does not qualify for the 'dead horse' forum, but I will post anyway. Seeing how it is the 'off season' does anyone do anything to mix up their training? WAR EAGLE!

What are some good races to look at for first timers? Considering Disney. This would be for Fall / Winter 2010. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

I have created a fitness show called CFAtv which promotes endurance sports, strength and conditioning, health and lifestyle. It is a very motivating and informative show. Paul Lieto suggested I post a link for the trifuel community. Here is the link: www.justintrain.com/cfatv.html If you have any suggestions or ideas for the show, please let me know.
