    In-freaking-credible. Your physical transformation is remarkable. But I also love how you talk about the real magic happening outside of your comfort zone. You accomplished something most people never do...BRAVO!!

    Bravo! Im finally getting to the point I feel I might be able to survive one.

    Did you have a training plan or just wing it?

    Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. As far as training went, I sort of winged it. I didn't swim at all, but my normal workout routine usually incorporates a run usually from 5 to 7 miles and a bike ride anywhere from 15 to 25 miles. Not on the same day though. If I learned one thing, swimming should be worked in as well as a plan for the transition area. I took the swimming too lightly but it was pretty short part of the event.

    Thanks again all

    Just stick to your plan buddy, you have made tremendous strides since being on MFP. When you started did you ever think you would do a 5k, I sure as hell didn't think I would. The key for me has been consistency.
