| News from ET | January 10, 2011 |
Hello Friends,
 The new year is here! Reflection on the past is done. New dreams have surfaced. Resolutions have been made. Now what will you do? We all know the issue and many of us have done it. We create a dream and then watch it fade away. What a shame. Often our dream seems so big we don't know how to even start, let alone achieve it. The secret to making your dream come true is to act. Often we just think too much and don't act enough.
Signing up is action. Life starts when you sign up, get on the field and start playing the game. Register for those races, enroll in our classes, hire a coach, show up for Run Club. When you take the first steps, the rest of the path to your dreams will unfold.
At EXPERIENCETriathlon, we believe that anything is possible!
Coach Joe

 The Big One That
Didn't Get Away
by Jeff P
This was the big one for me - the Spirit of Racine Half Ironman in Racine, WI. The adventure began on Friday with traveling up to Racine. I registered for my race and Maxine, my spouse, who was competing in the women's sprint on Saturday, registered for her race. We decided to go down to the beach of Lake Michigan to get in a short swim to get our feet wet. What an eye opener! We both had on our sleeve-less wet suits, but soon discovered what Lake Michigan swimming is all about. While the surface was relatively calm, the water temperature was a frigid 58 degrees! As soon as I would start to swim and put my face in the water, my breath was just sucked right out of my lungs. Oh my God! How can the swim possibly take place? Even triathletes don't swim in waters this extreme - or do they? I could only hope and pray that some miraculous change in water temperature would take place over the next 36 hours. One thing I was grateful about - I did remember to bring my long sleeved wet suit.
