Triguy3 asks, how many triathlons have you done? Tell us how many you did and how many more you plan to do.
Lgmail35 asks, how long have you been involved with triathlon?
Also, we have been discussing what our triathlon training routines are. What is your triathlon training routine?
Talk about those topics and more in the Triathlon Forums. It’s completely free.
While doing community service, I am reminded of the value of having an active job. A lot of us have jobs that make us stay seated most of the day. Athletes can benefit from having a job that requires manual labor and physical activity. You will get natural exercise while doing your job. Perhaps, if you do not have a job like that, you could consider volunteering once or twice a week. Who says you can’t mix your triathlon training with volunteering?
If you want to find a running route of a certain distance, here is a tip: Go out with your car and drive in a loop. Before you drive, reset the odometer used to measure trips. This will tell you how many miles (or kilometers) your route is. You can add or subtract distance as you deem fit.
Luckily, most triathletes do so much training and exercising that eating too much is not a big problem. Of course, many may be concerned about the extra calories they consumed on Thanksgiving. Well, it is over now, so just get back to work. 
I’ve been looking for ways to train for triathlon indoors, since it is so cold outside now. I think running up and down stairways can be great. Even though you do not do that in triathlons, it will still help build endurance and leg strength. Also, doing stairs will probably be intense enough to give us a good workout in not that much time.
Today we received our first snow of the winter here in Connecticut. This is not good news to people who train outdoors. I am going to do more of my training indoors.
I’m looking for a Calender of triathlon events. It would be best if it was global, but had a way of filtering the events to more specific locations. If you know where we can find such a calendar or something that would serve the same purpose, please post about it in our Triathlon Forums.

I found this quote today that I think you will all like:
“When I run, truly run… It is all there. My body does what it does best. The mind like a kaleidoscope constantly rearranges the things it has stored into new and exciting patterns. And my soul utterly loses itself in the present.” - Dr. George Sheehan

If you do not know what an RSS feed is, let me tell you. It is a form of internet syndication. Users can subscribe to RSS feeds, and then they can see the newest posts from these feeds through an RSS feed reader. This allows them to conveniently keep up with new posts from many different websites.
I personally use Google Reader to read RSS subscriptions. For those of you new to RSS, I found a simple service that will allow you to read an RSS feed as an email newsletter. Simply go to Rssfwd.com and enter the RSS URL into the form. (That is the URL from above.) Then, you can put in your email address and choose how often to receive updates.
