Overweight and out of shape in Oct. July 2010.  Decided it was time to change that.  Ran in high school but was never amazing but I loved it so that’s what I went back to.  Signed up for a half marathon and started running lots and lots of miles with no crosstraining.  Ran 15 miles in my training before the half and went ahead and signed up for a full.  Some friends of mine kept pestering me about crossfit.  I was too close to the marathon to jump ships but I promised I would start after the marathon.  Ran Oklahoma City Memorial in 3:59:22.  Then I started crossfit.  Went in with strong lungs and legs but weak upper body.  Couldn’t even do a pullup.  Started to see results quickly and kept running.  Got into triathlons too.  Did my first sprint in March 2011.  14 months later I was on the starting line of Ironman Texas.  In between those I also discovered CFE.  Worked CFE training in with my normal crossfit at that point and continued to see results.  I always did real well in low weight met cons but still lacked real strength.  Then I discovered Outlaw training.  I now do what I consider to be a hybrid between outlaw and CFE.  Basically, I do a lot of olympic lifting and squats with some killer met cons and still run 3 times a week (mostly speed work, intervals, and time trials).  This combo has worked really well for me.  Here are my most current stats:

• Houston Marathon-3:39:24
• Dallas Rock and Roll Half Marathon-1:33:39
• Baton Rouge Turkey Trot 5K-19:05
• Ironman Tx-14:55:02
• Capt’N Carls Mule Shoe Bend 60K-9:58:34
• Longest run-63 miles-Ran as part of a relay team during the Capital to Coast 223 mile relay.  Ran my legs consecutively to see how far I could make it.
• Fastest Mile-5:12
• Back squat-355
• Bench press-230
• Clean and Jerk-220
• Deadlift-425
• Fran-5:20
• Front squat-300
• Grace-2:43
• Helen-8:30
• Overhead squat-175
• Power snatch-160
• Press – 170
• Also rode several century rides and last september rode 500 miles from Colorado-New Mexico border to New Mexico-Texas border in 5 days.
