Introduction - History of the Mett

I would like to first introduce myself and give a little history on me. My name is Mark and I currently live in Dublin, Ohio (near Columbus). I am 29 years old, married and have a daughter that is 16 months old. I start grad school in a month or so for my Master’s in Computer Science. I played soccer up through high school and up to that point it was not an issue to run up to 12 miles as I trained w/ the track and cross country teams. I was always a strong sprinter and when I did run in track I did the 800m. I am a competitive person and I always have been.

At this point I am a Clydesdale in the fullest. I am 6’5” and 270 lbs. When I decided to get back in to running and biking I was at an all time high of 289 lbs. This is large even with my bigger frame. I decided on a triathlon as an endurance sport truly is a test and it is also something I can work on alone and compete at. I may not make it as a pro or even ran but I do want to complete an Iron Man.
