Hi all,

I have been writing for months that since I have become LC that I was going to participate in a Triathlon.

Well today was the day... I did my triathlon and it would not have been possible had I not chosen this WOL. I owe today's success to the changes that I made when I became LC. I didnt win, but that wasnt my goal - the goal was to finish.

I was always too fat and too outta shape to do any real sports and now with this WOL I run,swim,bicycle and much much more. The workout gods all said basicly starve and carb up - And I say yeah as if that's really how this all works, um hello living proof of the contrary.

I probably sound like a dorky "Slimfast" commercial but when something feels so good you gotta just share.

The triathlon today 12/9 consisted of:
3.4 miles running
10.1 miles bicycling
75 meters swimming
time to complete: 1:53:?? (hr:min:sec)

Who knew I could become a triathlete - what will you become?

Shannon
