Race Central and Race Execution Resources

As you know, our get-you-organized-for-the-races stuff and our race execution resources and speadout and/or duplicated in Race Central and in the Race Execution section of the Wiki. While having soooo much information, much of it created by YOU, the members, is a nice problem to have, we are working to consolidate and reorganize things so it’s easier for you to find. Stay tuned!

Ironman Race Sites -- NEW!!

We’ve created race specific websites and seminars to deliver to you ALL of our knowledge and content on the US Ironman courses. These courses are FREE for you and the public. Please share these websites with your friends, encouraging them to sign up for the seminars!




KickStart Charity -- Apply for September!

To date EN has donated over $6000 to EN Member-supported charities!!! If you’d like to apply, learn more in the Wiki here.



Crucible Files

If you have a powermeter and want to have your Race Sim hacked apart by Coach Patrick for the world to see (and to learn!), please send it to admin@endurancenation.us with the subject "The Crucible". Be sure to include your age, weight, FTP, and goal race (70.3 or Ironman, with name preferably).



Season Planning

Finished with your OutSeason, have a big season change and/or want Rich to map out the rest of your season for you? Take this survey and Rich will get it done for you in a few days.



TeamEN Wants Your Referrals!

As you know, membership for the general public is currently $129/month. However, it’s likely that you know someone who would be a great fit for the team. If so, please have them use this double top secret squirrel backdoor link to create a 5-day trial membership. Their membership rate at the end of this trial, if they decide to stay, will be $99/mo, saving them over $360 per year!



EN Admin Support is Now Done Through ZenDesk

We’ve decided that the EN Admin Forum wasn’t the best tool for us to use to provide you with the support you need, so we have fired up “ZenDesk.”  Have admin issues and need us to fix them? Email support@endurancenation.us. View our help desk and answers as they grow here. Please keep in mind that this tool is for admin support issues only, not a place for you to ask us training questions. Please continue to use the Macro and Micro Threads for those, as well as the other forums.



Thanks and have a great weekend!



Rich and Patrick
