Name: Jonathan Zsigovits or JZ

Story: I was 330lbs and had gastric sleeve surgery in 2013. Since then I started running and riding and lost 150lbs. I went from Couch-to-5K and built on that and finished my first marathon last fall. I did a dualthlon last summer and loved it but never swam before this year.

Family and Work: Father of three kids 11, 6, and 4 and have a decent job with good work life balance.

Current: In week 2 or 20 week beginner triathlete plan for an Olympic event at the end of May, 2015. I am in swimming program and assigned a coach while I swim. I am still working on the mechanics of swimming and building water confidence.

2014: 4:02 Marathon, 1:39 half marathon, 51 minute 10K and 20:51 5K, 30th place of 109 in Dualthlon were my highlights

2015: 10K on 2/1, Half Marathon 4/26, Blackbear Oly Tri 5/31, Qman Tri 9/26 and then either Steamtown or Rehoboth Marathon in fall.

Welcome, Jonathan, from a fellow Pennsylvanian!  It certainly looks like you accomplished a lot of great things last year.  No doubt you will continue to do great things this year as well!  Having a coach to help you with swimming is big for improving conficence and learning how to do it correctly from the start.  Best of luck to you in your adventures!
