The world's fittest man (TM) is a crossfitter, not a triathlete. Bummer

More like “Weight Lifting’s Fittest Man on Earth”. I did twenty years of lifting. I got up to a 400lb bench press and could rep 400lbs in squats. I transitioned to triathlon a few years ago and I can tell you from experience it is a totally different type of fitness. I have never been more challenged than when I began triathlon. I had to drop sixty pounds of body weight from 220lbs to 160lbs. Nothing has been easy. Everything has been hard but rewarding and I feel much healthier and more fit.
