Welcome and Introduction

Welcome to the XL Triathlete blog!

The title of this blog describes me fairly well.  I am a 6'6" tall, 220 pounds and 50 years old, which qualifies me as an XL by any standard.

As the tag line says,
"Adventures in multi sports with an extra large age grouper". I will be writing about my training adventures, as well as items of interest to the multi sport enthusiast.

Since becoming active 16 months ago, I have competed in a variety of events.

20 5k events placing in in the top 10 seventeen times. Nine of which were top 5 finishes.
2 half marathons
1 15k
2 Sprint Triathlons placing 1st and 4th in age group.
