Hey Guys,

I know many of you know me and my story, and many of you might not. Anyways, 2 years ago today I weighed 400 pounds and had Gastric Bypass. In the last 12 months I have completed 4 x 70.3's, Ironman Louisville, 3 Marathons, and a lot of other races. Check out my "Year In Review" at www.trimywill.blogspot.com and to learn about my weight loss journey go to www.trimywill.com . Thank you all for your tips, support and encouragement, I could not have gotten through all this without ya'll...

" I broke a colleagues brand new guest chair in his office because of my extreme weight."

good luck on the ultra!

Congratulations ! One of my favorite moments in this sport is the weight-loss standup at the IM banquets. When you
see people lined up to race an IM who have lost 80, 100 or 200 pounds you are looking at someone who has radically
altered their life for the better. It is very moving.

Great job my brutha! Great job.

The skinny people will never understand, but that is ok because if we have to, we can eat them!

I was going to ask if your Doc’s knew your plans…screw em - you know what you have to do and have covered your bases. Good luck.

Actually yeah, my surgeon Dr David Kim here in Colleyville, TX sponsored me for all my IM events, so yeah he was down with it! Thanks for the kind words…
