Since my 400lb bench press days, I've dropped about 24lbs of body weight.  Everything was still a struggle until dropping under 210, but this week was full of new personal best results.  Yes, I am exhausted, but completing this first week is very encouraging.  At this point, I can complete each leg of a tri individually (except maybe the swim), but need to work on piecing it all together.  My swim times need to come down and that will be the greatest challenge....I also can't hardly imaging doing the 10k run I did today after a .9 mile swim and 24 mile bike.  But, time and a chip on my shoulder are all I need.  And staying injury free.
