well, there are those of us who are new to the sport and have yet to lose the wieght…I guess we don’t fit into your ideal of what a triathlete shoudl look like. does it mean were not eating healthy? NO Does it mean we don’t train as hard as those who are skinny and fit and have been in the sport for 5 years? NO It means that we have have not been training long enough to lose the weight to fit your ideal.
I personally will never look like what the “ideal” (whatever that is) triathlete should look like…even at a weight that would fit me perfectly with my body mass and frame size…I am a bit bigger than all the skinny minnies that run around the course and get blown over by the wind.
The big questions is…why do you care what others look like or if they eat healthy?..some people do it just to do it.
