W O W

2 months in on this adventure from being a couch potato. The bike speed is about the same – distance is further – this is fine because the bike was always going to be my best event (compared to the other 2 anyway).
Running – can you call it that – a walk with a faster shuffle throw in for effect. Well it is getting better - including a 2.5 mile loop that I am now doing at the weekend. Pushing the distance on this each week.
The swim – gone from 300 to 400 yards in a session to 600 yards. From 25 yards and stop to 100 yards at a time. Huge improvement here – still a long way to go.

Weight – very stable but my first 2 months have been disrupted by 2 business trips that messed up my training (an eating) and a long weekend in montreal which caused me to drink lots of beer. I do look different as I’m losing fat and putting up some muscle. Need to work on the weight issue – that’ll make the rest of it easier!

The best sign of progress – bike – the distance I started with in a week is now a session. The running (jog/crawl) pace is up about 25% and the Swim speed up about 35%. This could be the last time I see improvement like that (as a percentage) so I’m shouting it out loud!!!!! YEAH!!!!

This fat boy is moving!
Beginners – THIS CAN BE DONE!!




Sorry folks – psyched this morning – even looking forward to shoveling snow – how mad is that?
