Gross, I know...

BEFORE

This photo was taken on 11/17/05 in my apartment shortly after forking over the $450 registration fee for Ironman Florida. Notice the lack of muscle definition and larger arms and beer gut (remnants of college)


AFTER

This photo was taken after a year of Ironman training on 10/28/06 and I was down to 154lbs. Notice the same paper confirmation page from my active.com registration. Not too much change, but a little more definition. The big weight loss was from senior year of college (2004) to the spring of 2005 where I went from 195lbs down to 165lbs. I wish I had a picture of THAT transformation!

I just wanted to get up a before and after shot of how IM training and racing has changed me. I'll post other photos later on of racing and the like. Cheers.

Erin,

I know I wasn't really "pudgy" before beginning my trainnig for IMFL....I just "slimmed down" a bit.

I figured the less weight that I had to carry over the 140.6 miles, the better!!
