Lost 112 lbs in 2001 and (as luck would have it) found myself in Kona the week before the IM World Championships. As we passed a triathlete riding on the Queen K, turned to my wife in the cab and commented that I didn't know we were supposed to have muscles in some of those places! Well, two months later, I found TrainingBible and began training in earnest. Raced my first DU and TRI in 2002. My first 1/2IM in 2003. And, on Sept. 7, 2003, I became an official finisher at Ironman Wisconsin! ... June 2005, I earned my finishers medal at Ironman Couer d'Alene.
Thanks TrainingPeaks!
