The old me

    This is how I used to look; taken at one of the first triathlons I did in 2006.

      For a sec there I thought this was me. But you are still standing where I'd be lying face-down in the mud.

      I had thought you gained all that weight back. About to call you Oprah.

      Perhaps not the kindest photo ever taken of you Derek....

      I'll second Matthew, I doubt I would have even got 'that' far! Congratulations on all your hard work - great stuff!! :)

      Its amazing when you put them side by side.. Note the classic cyclists legs.

      Never would've guessed.

      I hope you don't mind but I'm going to share your photos with a friend who is trying to make a similar transformation through triathlon :)

      As Lachlan said, inspiring. There's hope for me yet. Thanks for sharing this.
