Hi all, 

Just joined BT and excited to get to know people here.  I'm a big guy (5'10" 280) just starting on the path back to fitness.  I was a swimmer in HS so that part is good for me.  I can walk/jog a  5K in about an hour and swim 1000 yards with breaks every 100 yards for a minute.  Haven't been on the bike yet this year.  One big challenge is a I live in the foothills of the mountains ...  very steep around here.  That's an issue for the walks too but at least you can slow to a shuffle.  Not sure I could make it up the hill to my house on a bike. 

Anyway, planning on doing the 22 week Total Sprint program here designed for big guys.

P.S.  I got talked into a 5K Fun Run on 7/5 ... so that should be interesting.

welcome to BT! congrats for making the decision to give tris a go.  I think you'll find that training and time will have you biking up those hills in no time.  Good luck and hope you stick with it!!
