First of all I would like to thank Beginner Triathlete for all their great information and encouragement. My name is Dave and I'm a fireman from Kingman, AZ. My wife and I just completed our first Triathlon on March 19th at Lake Havasu. Our story began  in November of 2009 after watching our daughter finish the Las Vegas Silverman. She inspired us to get off our duffs and to get in better shape. We commited to running a mile a day for a year. We also made some lifestyle changes including our diet. WE completed that commitment! In the process I lost 55lbs and my wife lost 35lbs. I would have never dreamed we would be participating in a triathlon when we started but it has become a family affair now. I can not tell you the sense of pride I had when they announced the third member of our family crossing the finish line. I am looking forward to learning more and reaping the benefits of all the experience on this site as I still have a long way to go. Looking forward to TRIng harder.

Dave
