I am newer to tris then I am to running, I began walking in January of 2009 and running by December of that year.  I dropped to 190 by my first marathon in October of 2011 and am currently 210.  I started getting into tri's last year and am doing my first HiM in May.

You're an inspiration!
Hope you like tri's. I like the cross training aspect - don't get bored or too injured.

Awesome job. How are your knees doing? Keep at it. I am at 385, with an Ironman in November. Walking more and more everyday. Thanks for the inspiration.

Knees have never really hurt, been pretty much injury free the entire time.  I did have two bouts of ITBS one in each knee but that was due to the weightloss nothing training specific.  After losing like 200 pounds my hips were readjusting to carrying so much less weight and it pulled my IT band tight while my hips were realigning which hurt for like 3 weeks or so in each knee and then just stopped hurting the moment my hips were done realigning.  So I had a slight hip imbalance for a bit and with some rolling and hip exercises it just went away.

I like tri training a lot more, I really burned out last March after doing my second marathon and tri training really gave me my love back for running.
