Ok, here is the history up to this point!  I just finished my 2nd triathlon in Decatur, AL.  I finished 7th in my age group and Bonked after the swim leg.  I thought to myself, "If I am going to do these, I have to make a true commitment to be the best, not just for me, but my family!" 
I am 26 years old, been married for about 2 years now (Loving every minute), and about 20 pounds overweight.  My goal for doing triathlons is to lose the 20 pounds and become an ironman in 5 years.  I know that if I truly set my mind to it, I could do an ironman before the 5 year limit I set for myself, but, I thought this would be a good goal. 
I am going to set fourth every week and record my struggles, accomplishments, breakthroughs, best workouts, worst workouts, and some silly side notes during these next 5 years.
