Hello everyone!! I am very new to sport, but grew up playing the big 3. Football, basketball, & baseball, and even played football in college. I have got to the point in life where I have added extra weight and lost considerable amount of muscle. I am looking to the Triathlon to get me back into good physical shape, but I have a feeling I am going to find something more. I probably need to drop 20 to 30lbs and I know that will come with training. I have signed up for a Duathalon a month and a half from now, and I am using it as a platform to see if I can do a couple sprints this season. I would love any advise encouragement, or if anyone is up in the Davis County area that would like to help a newbie out that would be awsome.

Thank you for the encouragement. I have to say it is easy for me to get motivated when I have a goal, and the duathalon is going to be a good test for me. My biggest fear is the swimming section of the Tri, just because I swim like a brick!!!!!!!
Another motivation for me is to be an insperation to my boy. I have a father that from the first time I can remember has been very over weight and not been able to be active with his kids. Not only do I want my child to see me active, but I want him to realize the quality of life you can have at an older age if you take care of yourself and have an intrest in activites that keep you physcally and mentally fit!

Wish me luck, this is a life long change for me and not just an acheivement I am just going to forget about!
