This weeks athlete Rob Eachon has been one of the main members of OHNOH20 and Transition Zone. We wouldn't be where we are without people like him. So in this case the bio comes straight from Rob. (He is the short one on the right)
I did my first triathlon at the CDA Scenic Challenge in 2000. Thirty days before the race a buddy and I decided to see what triathlons were all about. We thought we were in fairly good shape because we were mountain biking almost every day at Canfield, Caribou, Bernard and Gold Hill. All we had to do, or so we thought was to add in a little swimming and a little running …easy, right? Well, not exactly.
To make a long story short, I finished the race. The bike was OK and the run was OK but I swore I would never do a triathlon again until I got the swim down. In 2005 I broke my promise and did the CDA Triathlon again (slow learner). Again I swore I’d never do another triathlon until I learned the correct way to swim freestyle. THEN along came Shannon, Dee and OH-NO-H20. Due to their intervention I did IMCDA in 2006, 2007 and 2008, IMCanada in 2007 and IMFlorida in 2008. Races this year include IMCDA and IMArizona. The right coaching, instruction and advice made all the difference and made racing fun (even the swim).
That’s why the Transition Zone is such an asset to the multi-sport community. It not only offers a great place to train, but also provides opportunities to learn about and refine “everything triathlon”. Whether it’s your first triathlon or your 20th Ironman, the resources at the TZ can provide the knowledge and skills for a great race and a fun day. So go out and enjoy the race!
