Tri Result0 with WORKING pics and weight loss results

atynk

So for all MFP friends that have helped me with this journey and anyone interested here are some pics from my tri a tri

It was a 300 meter swim, 15km bike and 3 km run .
This was my first open water swim, and it went very well, I was one of the fastest and first woman out of the water. I didn't get kicked at all lol... my bike was good ride, but the run I struggled again with My whole side cramped up again, which was disapointing since I have worked so hard to get used to running.

Anyway other than the run I am very happy with my results
I took 2nd place in the womens, 1st place in my age group and 20th overall out of 67. Not too bad for a girl who could not even imagine running last year 45lbs heavier lol

ALSO TODAY i had another body test at my Kettlebell gym and here are the results

OCT 19, 2009 AUG 16, 2010
WEIGHT 190.2 145
BMI 28.1 21.6
BODY FAT % 39.7 27.1
MUSCLE % 26.8 31.7
RESTING CAL 1639 1441
BODY AGE 40 20
VISCERAL FAT 6 3

I can't belive my body actually thinks its younger than it is lol... im 27!
also this can be used to help people understand how it can be harder to lose as you get smaller, as your resting calories you burn go down as you lose weight so you have to work harder
Visceral Fat is found in the abdomen and surrounding vital organs. Anything below 9 is normal, but 3 is even better !

ME COMING OUT FROM THE RUN... ALWAYS SMILING LOL

Seriously, that's awesome! I know you're taller than me but I started at 180 and am hoping to get to 140 so it's kiinda close and I always look at you and think, man... I want to look that good! :happy: I'm so proud of you for finishing SECOND, girl, that's awesome. That means there was only one woman better than you and you probably could have beat her if it weren't for the cramping in your side. At least, that's what I figure! haha Congrats again!

Thanks everyone and Arielle I love hearing that people use me as a goal idea... I do the same thing with other photos I see lol.
I kept thinking the same thing about that other lady who beat me, but she beat me by like 2 and half minuites so she deserved it! I'll try and catch her next year
