Welcome to Super-Sized Triathlete!

My name is Brad and I live in Lake Oswego, Oregon with my wife and 4 children. I've created this blog to track and update the progress of my training for my first ever triathlon. Being that I am 6'5" and getting in the neighborhood of weighing 1/5 of a ton (I'll let you do the math), I truly am a SUPER-SIZED TRIATHLETE!

I have chosen to do a Half-Ironman Triathlon in Sunriver, Oregon on June 27, 2009. This means I will be swimming 1.2 miles, then biking 56.3 miles and finishing with a 13.1 mile run. I'm looking forward to the challenge and I'm ready to start my training.

I hope this blog will be informative for my friends and family, and if nothing else entertaining! I'm doing this Half-Ironman for myself and for my family. I want to be healthier and I'm ready for this new journey. I know that training and competing in this event will start me on a path of more healthy living and bless my life and the life of my family.

I hope you enjoy and let the games begin!
