Two wheels of torture

are what my bicycle is in the beginning of the season. I haven't ridden since October and frankly feel a bit disgusting about it. Races are coming up soon though so I need to get off my ass and start pedaling again.

This weekend I am getting back on the Bianchi and going out for 20 miles. It isn't a whole lot, but it is a start. Hopefully I won't break the bicycle.

In the beginning....

There was a fat man. More importantly there was a fat man who liked to do triathlon. Bit of an oxymoron there but it is the truth.

My name is Skye (a.k.a the Fat Man, Iron Panda, Skyrunner75, and in my mind Big Sexy) and this is Fat Man Triing, I set up this blog for several reasons:
  • To encourage people of large stature that getting out and doing sports, athletics, races, and other events is possible and you are welcome.
  • To chronicle my trials and tribulations as I train for another Ironman/ Iron distance race.
  • To discuss and comment on triathlon, one of my favorite sports, from my large perspective

This is my first blog, so you will have to bear with me as figure this out. More to follow...
