"how did they get started"

Numerous math people told me about these contests and I created a CF account shortly after.

"what was the motivation"

To be as good as ksun48 (and certain others in my friends list)

"their training"

Unfortunately, I'm not as brief as Benq, so my answers to your questions can't be written in a comment only. Maybe I could write a blog post.
