#310 – Swim, Bike And Then Run How Far?

At 335 pounds, Sue Reynolds couldn’t walk a block, fit in a restaurant booth, or even tie her own shoes. After failing one diet after another, she tried to lose weight one more time, but this time she had a secret daydream - to finish a triathlon. That secret daydream gave purpose to her dieting and exercise, and she lost 200 pounds, finished her first triathlon (dead last), and fell in love with swim, bike and run. Along the way, she discovered an athlete and competitive spirit had been hiding inside her body all along. Three years after completing her first triathlon in last place, Sue finished sixth in the world (and first American) at the World Triathlon Championship!Send us Fan Mail
