I am 6`3 and 180. I could possibly do 173 or so but can't imagine ever being at your weight. What is you strength in triathlon?

I laughed until I realized I have the same physique...minus 5 pounds.

Bike...although run is getting stronger, 16:36 5k on Friday...

Stronger rankings on the bike may possibly be skewed by my love to overcook the bike and hang on during the run! Last bike workout was in August excluding racing due to cross country right now, so we will have see how things go after a winter of training!

Of those years which years would you say you felt you raced your best?

Moving in the right direction and slowly closing the gap each year. 2011 was the fastest year. 12 guys broke 4:30 on the bike and the top 3 guys went faster than Frederik Van Lierde. (in regards to his winning time of 8:12:30 this year) This year only 6 guys broke 4:30 and it was a tougher run IMO for the pro men. The women's race had some cloud cover but I didn't get any cloud cover until the last 3-4 miles.

Ironman World Championships results:
2011: 23rd pro (3rd American)
-Time: 8:43:51 (40mins behind winner)

2012: 20th pro (4th American)
-Time: 8:50:21 (31mins behind winner)

2013: 18th pro (3rd American)
-Time: 8:39:59 (27mins behind winner)

6-4.5 173pounds. I'd be FOP at big races if I gave swimming more than a nod and a wave from time to time

M58 5'5" 126 lbs. Lower than my running years 14 years ago when I set all my PR's at 44 yrs and 128 lbs. All this tri training has been tough to keep my weight up.

Running PR's at age 44:
5k 17:25
10k 36:12
Half: 1:21:03
Marathon: 2:49:06

Now I can run a 10k @ 41 min. HIM (Vineman) 5:06

6'-3" and 200 lbs (+/- 3 lbs). Down from 215 a year ago. More of a fish than a runner. Still in awe of those that can run faster than a 9:30 min/mile, because I can't apparently.
I weighed 196 lbs yesterday. That's the lowest I've been since my teens. But that had more to do with my morning run that became a 13.2 miler without support / fluids. Today 202.

I am still trying to figure out if 6'3" and 200 lbs folks can swim in a Large TYR Torque swimskin comfortably. I can't quite believe the TYR sizing chart for us big folks.... Pretty much everything else I've used XL. But the TYR sizing says 215lbs+ and for XL.

5'8" , 156#

I would like to race at 150# , or even a little lighter. I also like to eat cookies and drink beer. I will have to choose 1 of the three options for next season.

5'10", 132-135lbs.

I'm always working on staying around 135, but it's an effort to both train and keep the weight on.
I think I need to bring the bodyweight exercises back in. Maybe I can put a couple pounds back on by the end of the year.

5'9" and 147 lbs. Been about the same size since my early 20's and I'm 62 now. My best race weight was 140 lbs about 10 yrs ago but since I gave up racing two years ago (still swim/bike/ride) its nearly impossible to get under my current weight.

5' 9 and a half " - the half is very important to me.

Race weight - 152 lbs
Xmas weight - 164 lbs

Body fat in race season - approx 10% according to those scales that measure it through your feet
Body fat at xmas - 13%, primarily turkey grease and toblerone

My strength is running. I have skinny chicken legs and a (by slowtwitch standards) fairly pathetic FTP in the mid two hundreds.

5'4" ~141 lbs right now

I was as low as 135 lbs last winter/spring but that was after some drastic dieting. I really think that the lost muscle mass in my legs dropped my cycling performance a little bit.

Since then I've brought my FTP up about 10 watts to the highest it's ever been while only gaining 3 to 4 lbs of muscle (and 1 or 2 lbs of fat :P)

I also think that my running performance dropped a little bit because of the weight gain but not as much as cycling improved.

What is your height/weight?

5'9" (53 yrs.)

As a runner, prior to getting into tri in '91, I tended to hover around 150.

When I was actually training for / racing triathlons my best performances were around 155 lbs.

Once I started coaching soccer 3 seasons of the year, I could never maintain that and was lucky to get below 165 for a few summer tri's each year.

Now that I'm no longer coaching and have a renewed emphasis on running, I've been able to get as low as 148 when not dealing with typical life conflicts or injuries, but really would like to get below 145.
