Any fellow heavy guys here? And I don't mean 180cm/80kg heavy but more like 170cm/100kg heavy (aka. Obese / fat triathletes).
I am 190cm / 120kg (6'3", 265lbs) and basically just starting on triathlons. Did first sprint a year and a half ago with 1:26 (11:18 / 38:18 / 31:31). Otherwise 10K 54:46, 1/2 M 1:53.
Finally found good running shoes (On Cloudflyers) that fit my feet (did feet analysis). Also bought few months ago a first real road bike Canyon Ultimate CF SL 8.0. Just ordered turbo trainer for the winter and ready to tackle the next season Olympic & Half distances ;)
How are your results & training for sprint / oly / 70.3 / 140.6? Any tips from people who are heavy / have managed to lose a lot weight? What would you do different this time? All tips welcome.
