I actually shed body fat easily, and plan on getting down to the 225 range. I have told some people this and they have said that even at 225 I am far too heavy for this sport.
Nowadays they have the Clydsdale class. I know two really good triathletes in the area who are about your size, and both do quite well. One sure kicked my butt in the sprint the other day! I, BTW, am 5' 11", 152. I can at least out climb him!
