75 Pounds lost in 8 Months with pics

When you started biking was it hard and how much did you do at a time? Do you need the fancy bike and helmet, gear, etc... to ride in the races you stated? I really want to complete a triathlon or biking competition so that I have something to workout towards. Thanks! You look awesome. Great abs, what was a regular workout for you daily time wise?

When I started biking my first goal was to be able to do 10 miles in 30 minutes. I kept working at it daily until I go there, then I switched to 20 miles in an hour and continued until I accomplised that. Then I just kept riding, sometimes 2 or 3 hours at a time. YOu don't need the facy bike or helmet or gear, you can buy something inexpensive to ride. For me I went on Craigslist and found used high quality/brand name bikes, did a little research to find out which were the best and bought a Trek 2300 for $500 and a Cannondale Ironman 600 for $400 and I ride the wheels off them. But once again you don't need anything that expensive. My regular workouts are normally 2 hours long, sometimes a bit shorter and sometimes a bit longer just depends on my schedule. Hope this helps!
