Two steps forward














This has been a good weekend for me, I have always celebrated my weight loss when I have reached 10 pounds, Friday night I hit another milestone I am now in the 250's. 258 to be exact 28 more pounds till I reach 100 loss.


On Saturday my wife & I drove to Woolmarket Mississippi so I could compete in a biathlon. It was a small event the club that put the event on were well organized, very nice & supportive. I really enjoyed it & plan to do there next duathlon in May. My wife didn't race she is still nursing her blisters from the New Orleans 70.3 Tri.


The race started with a 5K run that had some small rolling hills with a lot of shade I finished the run in 39:10 that's my fastest time so far. Then off on the bike 11.3 miles it started off good for the first few hills but then they kept coming they were all small hills but you have to understand I'm from South Louisiana we have no hills. I keep going it was a nice ride through country roads all was OK till the final stretch of 2 miles with two big hills & a 15 mph head wind. I realized that bicycle + hills + wind= sucks. I did finish @ 1hr 43 min it felt good


I enjoyed the day with my wife we had a good time she will do the next one with me.


So I guess I did take two steps forward
