Day 1 — Starts and first goals

This used to be me.

Finishing the Rarotonga International Triathlon in 2000

But not any more. I’m barely able to run 3km, let alone a 1.5−40−10 triathlon.

That’s all about to change, for all the rea­sons in the first post here and more.

So let’s look at my start­ing point:

Weight — 94.0kg (207lb)
Height — 170cm (5’7″)
BF% — 30% (esti­mated)
Rest­ing heart rate — 72bpm
Waist — 92cm (36″)
Those are a long way from my best ever con­di­tion in the first photo above.

Keep watch­ing for train­ing, diet, improve­ments, hor­ror sto­ries, etc. as I go through this change. My first goal will be to com­plete the Can­berra Times Fam­ily Fun Run and Walk in any sort of time, with at least some run­ning. I’ve got eight weeks.

    Love that you’ve got pho­to­graphic evi­dence! It is always so telling…

    So are all the palm leaves to hide all the heart attach vic­tims from the view of the gen­eral pub­lic? :P

    Go for it!
