2018 IM ARIZONA...TIME TO CHECK IN!
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! First up…..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
You will only receive a few 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).

IMAZ spectator checking in! I plan to cruise the run course on my MTB to make sure there are no walkers in EN kit 😀👍
My biggest fear - @tim cronk finding me sneaking in some slow steps under the bridge, mile 23 on Rio Salado, where no one ever hangs out to spectate...
Al, I will now be lurking there waiting for you. I don't have Tim's clout but I will shame you just the same.
Spectator #2 checking in.
