WELCOME 2018 IM LAKE PLACID ROCKSTARS!!!!

This is going to be a STRONG GROUP!!! This an EN Key Race so get your mojo ready!!

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).

  • Your Race-Specific GroupMe Channel: 

  • Admin:
    • On Social Media?

    • Use email friend@endurancenation.us to get a friend to train with you and EN (they get 30 days FREE and a discounted rate if they join and you can earn referral bonuses)

    • Nudge all current EN members that you know are racing to chime in.

    GroupMe Admin:
    • Find and Join Your Race Group Online https://groupme.com/join_group/37798973/csjJ9y

    • Download the GroupMe App: iTunes Link   Google Play Store

    • Keep in mind times you are messaging - we recommend nothing before 6am and nothing after 10pm

    • The Mute Button is your friend! You can either use “Office Hours” to mute it during the daytime only, or you can manually mute as you see fit.

    • Jump in and out of the conversation when it is convenient for you!

    Training Admin:
    • Charge all your swim, bike and run electronics

    • Tune up your bike

    • Make sure all trainers, Zwifts etc are working and you’ve tested before.

    • Order the first batch of your nutrition so you can start off practicing with a bang

    • Order your Endurance Nation racing and training gear

    • Watch all the videos - podcasts and blogs that are attached to each week of training on the website (They are located on the right side of the training page)

    • Check out our sponsors to see if there is anything you need!

    • Nutrition - Make sure to review race and training fueling webinars NOW because you need to be practicing every single day from now on!

    • Race Execution Pages and Checklists are here, make sure to review them

    Feel free to ask your teammates questions and make some friends along the way.Check in on Group Me this week and let's get the mojo flowing!!

    So at the last THM I asked if we were going to have weekly threads.  I was told EN wasn't doing it anymore just key weeks and GroupMe is the solution.  My question to my fellow IMLP peeps is whether we should recycle last years or am I the only one that finds value in the MOJO/Accountability and get to know your neighbor aspect?

    GroupMe seems easiest, and can provide same benefit as wkly threads ...
    though if group chooses Forums I will make that the priority
