Subject: Training for my first (sprint) Triathlon
My name is Don, live in Central Indiana, and I am training for my first sprint triathlon.  I have always been somewhat athletic, but have slowly put on extra weight over the years. (43 now)  About 2 years ago i was running and tore my meniscus.  Well, my recovery didn't go so well (meaning when I tried to walk/run my knee swelled) so I became the stereotypical couch potato.  At 5'8" and 205 pounds, I started to exercise again, and tried to eat better, but the weight would yo-yo, and my workouts were sporadic at best.  My Dad, and 2 of my brothers have done triathlons (one will be doing his first full this september.)  So I picked a sprint triathlon in September, found the "couch to sprint" plan, and I am on my way!

I'm in a similar boat (and shape!). My first tri is in July.

Good luck to you, you'll do fine.
