Subject: Hello
I have been on this site for awhile but this is the first time for introductions. 2 years ago I weighed 325.6 lbs. I had bariatric surgery (Jan. 23, 2012) and now as of this morning I weigh 174.4. I competed in my first sprint triathlon last year (Aug 3, 2013) and reached my 3 goals for the event. Goal #1 was to not die (ha ha), goal #2 was to finish the race and goal #3 was to do it in less than 2 hours (Finished in 1 hr. 55 min. 31 sec.). I am hoping to do 3 sprint triathlons this year.
My training has been kind of hit and miss and just thrown together alternating running and biking every other day. I am looking to start seriously training for the longer races and build up to the Ironman Distance over the next 5 years If anyone has training advice for me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you have any questions, comments or advice for me please contact me.

Jim

Congrats on your new bod and good luck with training!
