 27 |  Subject: Doing it for a girlHi everyone, I met a really cute girl who kept turning me down because she said she wanted a boyfriend who was lean and athletic. I'm 6'0" and 210 lbs. I told her that I couldn't change my body shape but I could prove to her that I'm athletic. I did my first sprint distance triathlon (Long Beach Triathlon) this past August. I am officially registered for the Ironman Vineman 70.3 next year. I'm still talking to the girl but at this point, I realized that even if she and I don't work out, I still want to do this half-Ironman to prove to myself that I am strong enough to conquer anything. I am going to school full time, working on my doctorate in nursing and I work part-time on weekends. My current regimen looks like this: Monday- 1 hr bike Tuesday- 1 hr swim Wednesday- 1 hr swim Thursday- 32 mile bike, 5 mile run (however long it takes) Friday- 32 mile bike, 5 mile run (however long it takes) Saturday- Work Sunday- Work |

| , Virginia | Subject: RE: Doing it for a girl You should check out the training plans here on BT. You've got plenty of training time and the training plans they have will help you reach your goal. As far as the girl is concerned.........she led you to the exciting world of triathlons. Concentrate on your training, on YOUR finishline and your confidence level is going to rise along with your expectations. She may no longer look that appetizing in the end. Aim high, friend |
