Why “Slow, Fat, Triathlete”?

Laura, surely you could have picked a more flattering title for your blog.  I’m sure that I could have, but to be honest I stole the title from a book.  The book is called, you guessed it: Slow Fat Triathlete by Jayne Williams.  In this book Williams chronicles her journey from an obese couch potato to a triathlete.  Through personal anecdotes, she encourages and inspires newbies giving important information and practical advice along the way.  She is so funny and inspiring.  She makes the idea of completing a triathlon seem feasible to even the most out of shape person, like me  My only problem with it is that she wrote the book first.
