I never ever thought in a million years I would ever be in this area of this discussion group. I couldn't swim 25m without stopping in mid Feb (I started training 2 weeks early to get some extra help). I now feel like swimming is second nature (I know I need improvement but at least don't feel like I am drowning). I was 283lbs and very out of shape due to all I have been through with Inflammatory Breast Cancer (multiple chemo -26 months, steroids,double mastectomy). It has now been 5 months and I am down to 243lbs (woo hoo 40lbs gone!), I have done one complete triathlon, the bike portion of another and now have signed up for a third full tri. If I can do this anyone can do this. I just want to thank those of you that have been very supportive during this journey because I am not fast but I did make it... this support has had a profound impact.....thanks again tina
PS. I have started the couch to 5k program and we shall see how the feet do! I have also joined a gym (6 months ago I would have thought I had went totally mad..lol)
