Oh excited one!

Hello all! Wow, I am thrilled to find this website and message board. I just started college in the fall and since then I have been avodiing those "freshman 15," by trying to actually lose weight. In the process, however, I have been quite unsuccessful thusfar because I fell subject to one of the worst things an athlete possibly can: the SOUTH BEACH DIET. Yes, after nearly 7 months, I have finally learned that one cannot excercise for 1-2 hours a day without any carbohydrates. It simply isn't possible! In any case, to the point now, I became interested in training for a triathlon about a month ago because to me it seems to be the ULTIMATE sport ever! (Plus, I don't have to spend a lot of money to train for it ) My problem, until now, had been devising a regiment, both for training and for nutrition. I want to perform well, but also look great in a bikini this summer! In any case, I am two days into my regime, which I hope will produce results by July. I will definately be referring to this way-cool website throughout my training. Best of luck to everyone. GO TRIATHLETES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
