What a journey. I started on MFP 3 years ago weighing in at 350. Over the course of the first year I used 2 apps MFP and C25k and lost the weight. C25k lead me to 5ks then a half marathon then a full. The 2nd year I learned to swim and that what got me into Tri's. Well after a handle full of short distance Tri's I went all out for a full Ironman last weekend in Wisconsin. 2.4 mile swim 112mile bike followed by 26.2 run. Well I finished before the cutoff.
