- FFT-Madison. FFT currently coaches a group of triathletes in Madison and plans to launch a formal training group for the near future. This team grew from collaboration between FFT founder Eric Bean, and fellow TIMEX triathletes Jackie Arendt, and Mike Lavery. It is modeled after the FFT-NC team; athletes are on a common plan for the first half of the season, before specializing based on their race schedule and needs. Athletes who sign up with FFT-Madison receive 2 swim sessions with Jackie’s Tri-Swim Madison group, a run evaluation with Mike or Jackie, a bike LT test on a CompuTrainer, and a phone or in-person consultation to outline the season goals and training plan. Stay tuned for further details, or, keep yourself in the loop by emailing on of the coaches.

Onward to 2013
We’re just a month away from race season! This is the worst time of the year for me. Everything is so close, but still so far away. Racing is just a few weeks away, but there are still plenty of painful workouts before then. The weather is trending in a positive direction, but there are [...]
