Subject: RE: What motivated you to start? Additional details sent on the google doc. Mine started by getting ready for a backpacking trip with my son. While I could *do* the trip as I was, I would enjoy the experience a lot more if I lost some weight and got in shape. That was 2004 with the trip in 2005. I lost 35# and had a great trip, but that put the mountain behind me and I needed something else and that is when I found triathlons. Many miles later, I've done 3 IM's and maintained a relatively healthy and active lifestyle for 10 years. |
