Oh there is no way I'm ever fitting into my blues again lol!!

Those things were fitted for a 19 year old boy.

There is NO way.

lol!


C'mon, where's the fun in easy?!?!?!?!?

It actually took too much time and training when I did it. I signed up for the ironman triathlon in Madison and then got my wife pregnant a few months later. By the time we knew, I had an expensive bike, and had lost 20 pounds (lost a little over 40 total).

Did the race with a two-month old at home.

In hindsight, doing the training for something like that would have been ok without children, but doing it with a pregnant wife or with kids on purpose is about as self-absorbed as you can get.

Now, 5 years later and still in the mid-180's for weight (at 6-1) I'm glad I did it, but don't plan on doing it again.
