A:  Jim Fox, Glens Falls NY

A:  45

A:  Pharmaceutical Sales Rep

A:  Participating since my early 20’s actually training for triathlons the last 5 years

A:  4 years

A:  Because I received this today my answer is easy. LP Iron Man and you ask why. The crowd support is amazing; volunteer’s rock and when your racing with 17 others from SEA OF ORANGE how could you go wrong.

A:  Bike or my new yellow shoes

A:  Played lacrosse in college and 7 years of club ball after graduating also played summer of 2005 in LP tournament

A:  Improve on my swimming and running and beat my times from Mini Mussel, Iron Man LP and Finger Lakes Triathlon

A:  Continue to do IM distance races, stay healthy, and have fun most of all

A:  Peanut butter, Nestles Quick, Stewarts Mint Cookie Crumble and Heineken Lights

A:  Anything from the song Kung Fu fighting, Van Morrison, the Killers and Montgomery Gentry. I am all over the board with music.

A:  I wish I could say I specialize. I enjoy them all.

A:  Start with a sprint distance and work your way forward.  I started 2006 with IM Placid nothing before it (not the brightest move)

A:  Listen to your coach (if you have one) 95% of the time. If you have a family, remember you have a family. Without their support it is no fun. Train with spouse or children if possible.

A:  Believe it or not my weekly HR threshold runs. I enjoyed them a great deal

A:  Getting involved with triathlons has certainly been great for my health (the weight has stayed off from 2008) but I have met so many genuinely nice people by doing this silly swim, bike, and run stuff.  I loved when my wife Shannon did her first half last summer. It was pretty cool and yes she was smiling
