I discovered Meetup.com in September and joined a running group in Orlando. Meetup groups are free (or there is a nominal charge) and encompasses all sorts of hobbies and interests.
Just go to http://www.meetup.com/ , type in your interest, Bowling, Triathlon, Knitting, Golf, Cats, Dogs, etc., your zip code, and it will find groups in your area. I would have never met such a great group of people to train with if I hadn't found Meetup.com.
What I have learned (and am still learning) in my continuing quest after completing my 100th triathlon in 2010.
100 Triathlons
Go to the early blogs to read how I got into triathlons. Click on any picture to enlarge it. "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood...who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." Theodore Roosevelt 1910

About Me
- Jack Finucan
- I live in Orlando, Florida, having moved here from Chicago in January, 1994. I've been married for more than 42 years to Sandy, who is a wonderful wife, chef, and singer. We had 2 rabbits, Fawn and Sarah, who roamed around the house for over 12 and brought us great joy. I raced cars in the 1970s, we toured on motorcycles in the 1980s, and sailed boats in the 1990s. I was a professional photographer for 25 years in the corporate world in Chicago. I retired from Ernst & Young as the office "jack-of-all-trades" in downtown Orlando after 19 years. We have a great home close to Wekiwa Springs State Park, which is an exceptional training ground.
