Our Fearless Leader |

Just in case you haven’t heard, Dynamic Edge co-owner and resident fitness guru, TIM NEIMAN traveled to New Hampshire this past weekend to compete at the annual Timberman Triathlon Festival, named the #1 “Must-do Triathlon Adventure” by Triathlete Magazine. But, not to be mistaken with the throng of international superstars-turned-triathletes, Neiman didn’t hire a former Olympian to coach him through this race, which was three times the distance and pain of his last competition. He trained solo, spending long hours after a full day’s work running, biking, swimming and (I would guess) wincing in pain. The 70.3 mile race included 56 hilly miles of biking, a 1.2 mile swim in clear, blue Lake Winnipesaukee, and a 13.1 mile run along its shores… a trek that most of us would only hope to make over a series of days. His time was 5:36:1! Congratulations and Admiration are due to Tim Neiman, Our Fearless Leader… who inspires us to go further, push harder, and curl up in the fetal position to cry like babies. |

For anybody interested in more details about my training or the race, please drop me an email (my email address is my last name at dynedge dot com). I’m a big proponent of using technology in day-to-day life: I utilized a Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS watch & heart rate monitor (https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=142&pID=349) and beginnertriathlete.com’s online training log during my five months of training for the race.
