I just wanted to introduce myself and why I'm here. I was really out of shape, and about a year ago I started to go to the gym. I started going to a boot camp style class, and it along with diet changes has changed my life. I've lost 50lbs, and I have lots of energy. I got a crazy idea in my head that I wanted to be in the gay olympics in 2010. I looked at the events, and decided on Triathlon. I wondered how I would train, and got an email the next day from a collegue who had joined Team in Training. So I joined up and will be in my first official triathlon in a couple weeks, yippy! I was volunteering at the Disco triathlon and saw the IronVenus flyer, and talked to what I realize now is the founder. I think it's great what you are doing. The thing about Triathlons I'm realizing is that it is kind of lonely. So I was wondering if there is anyone out there that wants to train together?

Thanks for reading,
Kuhpow!

Thanks for sharing your story! There are many women and young girls that need to hear about women losing weight in a natural healthy way and striving to do something extrodinary in life. Good luck on your first triathlon....
