I believe your health is your number one asset and at 67, I have the good fortune to be in very good health. I have been taking the
USANA Health Sciences brand of nutritional supplements since 1995. Below is a picture of me in 1996 when I was 52 and weighed 260 pounds.
I am also very fortunate to live in a small town that has a new YMCA a few blocks from my home. One of my friends I workout with introduced me to the sport of triathlon and we competed in a team sprint triathlon in early May, 2010, one friend did the swim, I rode the bike and another friend did the run. Now I must say I'm hooked.
In August of 2010, I competed in my first individual sprint triathlon which means I did all three events. My swim was horrible since I'm just learning to swim and I'm fearful of putting my head in the water. I was the last one out of the water. I could not swim the freestyle and had to do the basic breast stroke and the basic back stroke the entire distance.
Since Jan 2011 I have been learning the
Total Immersion method of swimming and I am making progress, slowly. I will be competing in the Kansas 70.3 half ironman in June, 2011 with my ultimate goal of competing in Kona, HI at the Ford World Championship Ironman before I turn 70 in 2012.
Ok, I know it is a big goal, but why not?
