Chunky couch potato to triathlete in 5 months....

I needed a goal to work towards in my attempt to get fit and lose weight. My very good friend completed his 1st half ironman last year and his about to do the full one this summer here in the UK.....he has inspired me and I'm booked to enter a sprint triathlon in July. I'm following a structured program, training 6 days a week and actually really enjoying it. In 1 month I have increased my overall fitness levels and dropped at least 2 trousers sizes allready....struggling a bit with the swimming as I need to improve my breathing technique but I'm sure with practice I'll get there....roll on July 21st!
