HI All,

I am a real newbie to sport, I had not run since high school ( I am now 31!) never learnt to swim or ride a bike and to add another problem I am 15 lbs overweight!

I was asked to assist in last years local triathlon to help distribute water and agreed, seeing the sense of acheivment on so many faces facinated me and made me want to be one of those faces so.............

On may 10th this year I started to learn to swim and can now swim (breast stroke only) 0.5 miles in 43 mins

On Monday 15th August I went for my first jog?! and still have a long way to go.............

Wednesday 18th for the first time I cycled very unsteadily but cycled all the same.

I want to compete in our local triathlon here in the west indies next March any inspiration, nutrition advise, freindly voice... woudl be more than welcomed

The pounds will drop off with the workouts and a proper diet. Those extrs pounds will go bye-bye real fast.

Welcome to gang!
Sounds like your on your way, just keep going running and cycling will come to quick enough.
I still have to learn to swim myself, so duathlons are my gig this year. The winter will change that though!

Keep it going!!
