A:  Timothy Healey. Troy, NY

A:  50

A:  Dentist

A:  Ironman Lake Placid 2011 was my first triathlon.

A:  I started with Kevin in February 2011.

A:  As far as triathlons go, Ironman Lake Placid is the only race I have participated in, and I think the experience will be hard to beat!

A:  My CycleOps 300 Pro was not only indispensable when I couldn't train outside, but I think the power meter also helped me and coach get the most out of my workouts.

A:  The two marathons that I have run, the 2009 and 2010 ING NYC Marathons, are definitely highlights, but Ironman Lake Placid stands alone

A:  I want to do Ironman Lake Placid again and want to improve in all areas but particularly the bike.

A:  My goal is to keep doing triathlons as long as I can. I truly enjoy the training and the process as much as the event.

A:  Yogurt with fruit, bagels and white wine

A:  Bruce Springstein, Adele, Jackson Browne, Boz Scaggs, David Gray. I used to always train with an iPod, but since I started triathlon training, I haven't used it during workouts except on the CycleOps.

A:  I haven't done enough to have a specialty, but I think that I am better suited for longer distance events like the Ironman.

A:  Hire Kevin Crossman as your coach, and do everything that he tells you to do!

A:  I'll say it again: Hire Kevin Crossman as your coach, and do everything that he tells you to do!

A:  I like the variety of the triathlon training workouts, and I really enjoy the swims.

A:  Training for and doing IMLP has been a life-changing experience, and none of it could have happened without my wife, Carol, being there with me every step of the way. I am very lucky to have been able to train with such a great coach, meet such inspiring fellow athletes, and share this wonderful adventure with my family.
