I had my road bike for exactly one week after riding two bike events in two weeks on a Walmart bike that could't change gears properly.  I was beginning to try to run but had not even thought of getting into a pool.

I was also smoking 2 packs a day.

I don't think I could spell Triathlon...started training last July.

Did my first sprint in September, and am signed up for 3 this summer.

Hadn't ridden a bike in probably 15 years, and just today I will be finishing up on 100 for the month of May (which is pretty spectacular because it's still colder than a witches here in Wisconsin...serioulsy they mentioned Wind Chill yesterday during the weather)

Looking to do 500 miles for this summer on the bike, and keep losing weight. I think I've lost about 40 pounds since last year at this time.

I was one month away from Ironman CDA. Unfortunately the race didn't go my way, but hoping to return to the race in the near future.

One year ago I was mostly sitting around, watching movies and doing the odd "run" at lunchtime at work every couple of weeks or so (3 miles in about 40ish mins) and riding my bike to work about once or twice a month. I was also about 40lbs heavier.

Since then.....lost about 40lbs, finished a 5k race, completed my first sprint tri, completed my first 10k(in <1hr) and training for an Oly with 2 more sprint tris and 3 more 10k's before that planned.

I have also remembered how much I like being outside. Feel like a kid again. Now I hate being cooped up at home.

I also realized that there are a lot people up and about at 05:00am.....which I had no idea of last year....LOL
