2018 IMTX Welcome Aboard!!
WELCOME 2018 IM TEXAS ROCKSTARS!!!!
You are just 13 weeks out now!
On your mark…. Get set….WAIT!!!!!
Getting Fit is one thing. Getting Ready to Race is another. To help you out, Endurance Nation has compiled some resources here in your Race Forum to make sure you are 100% ready.
Part One: ADMIN / OVERVIEW
It is time to start race preparations! We are currently 13 weeks out from your race, and we need to do some administrative work before we let you loose in the wonderful world of training for a long course triathlon.
The biggest change we are making this year is the GroupMe will start next week!
You will only receive THREE forum posts/emails during your training. Use the GroupMe App to check in daily/weekly with your fellow athletes. From time to time we will send you messages in the GroupMe to keep you on track. Remember to follow your Roadmap, Training plan and all you and Coach have put together.
Please Note: All Race Related Messages from EN will be in EMAIL or GROUP ME.
Use this forum to post detailed information about your training and or racing questions for each other (aka too big to put in a GroupMe text).
