Subject: October 13.....1st Sprint

I am an overweight former athlete that has lost his way over the last 20 years.  I recently turned 39 and my brother brought up a declaration I made years ago; I would finish a triathlon before I turned 40.  I was 347 pounds on my birthday and figured I have a year to try to still achieve this goal.  I have been hitting it hard for the last 2 months and have already lost 52 pounds.  I will do the Sprint in October with the main goal of an olympic triathlon on my 40th.

Welcome and congrats on taking the plunge!  There is a lot of great info as well as a lot of support for athletes of our stature!  Check out the Athena and Clydesdale forums, you will find a lot of us who have been in a similar situation!  

I am 37 and just finished my first one a few weeks ago, it is fun and rewarding!

There's nothing like a brotherly push to get you moving! Congratulations on what you've achieved so far. Keep your eyes on your goal, and put everything you have toward reaching it. Good luck!
