Well this is me on one of the happiest days of my life. The day I said I do to the boss, my wife. In this picture I'm somewhere north of 300lbs most likely in the 320's somewhere. This was after spending a year, "trying" to make better choices to look my best for my wedding. This was in 2009, 5 years before I would start my journey for Iron Glory. Bryan and my stories are different yet have evolved to have the same goal.
In 2014 I was part of Precision Nutrition's Lean Eating program. This is a year long, all online, health and fitness coaching program. It is a habit based coaching model where you work on 1 habit for 2 weeks until it becomes part of your daily routine. It worked well for me. During this program I discovered that I can do a lot more than I currently thought. One day I was thinking, hey, what about doing a triathlon? I like swimming and I am really fast on the bike. I'm not a huge fan of running but I can do anything for a short period of time.
Now all I needed was someone to do it with me. That's where my buddy Bryan came in. This was in early 2014 and we've been training for events ever since. The key to success is get someone who will do this crazy thing with you. It sure makes training a whole lot easier.
