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.
