i stumbled upon your forums looking for weight maxes on mountain bikes and found some good info as i was poking around i found the Clydesdale section being a bigger man i was interested in this section. started reading through and found the tri section which is what i am training for as we speak. i saw some of the wonderful transformations that have been made from riding and training so i figured i would join up and share my experiences with a wonderful group of encouraging people that started where i am today so i can be where you are now.

i am in Salem Oregon. looking to do my first sprint tri in just under a year. currently running 6-8 miles a week went from doing nothing to that getting further and faster every week. i decided not to do it for the weight loss but for the challenge of doing a tri the weight loss is just a added benefit of the lifestyle change i find this more appealing then going to run to lose weight. i look forward to reading more stories of success and sharing my first tri with all of you

thank you
Todd
