The Hagerstown Sprint was my first Triathlon. It was a pleasure, due in no small part to your and your staffs efforts. While I was in line, I had a brief conversation with someone about my recent fitness journey. They thought I should send you a note to let you know how you have been a part of that journey. So, here it is.
February 2009 , I started an exercise program at a local club, The Big Vanilla. It is called the 90 Day Challenge. I started the challenge at 346 lbs. I have been 300+ lbs. for most of my adult life. After the first 90 days, I lost 78 lbs. but more importantly, I gained a new lifestyle. I started thinking then that I might want to try a Triathlon someday. Well, - 160 lbs later, it was July 25, 2010 and I finished my first Triathlon here in Hagerstown.
Thank you to you and your staff for making it a very pleasant experience. I'll see you again next year!
