A top bloke named Dave successfully completed Austria 70.3 this year, weighing in at 118 Kgs.

Top fella and a really nice guy too.

My weight has been a constant issue; to be honest I've stopped weighing myself as find the whole exercise futile and annoying as having trained very consistently for 2 years now my on the scales weight just doesn't seem to change. I am definitely more toned and slimmer dress-size-wise from when I started so I reckon the whole BMI thing is a bit rubbish as it doesn't take into account muscle. Can't see how you can drop 2 sizes and still be the same 'unhealthyness' measure on the scale? Let's face it- was born curvy and that's just how it is! But do agree that lugging around less flab does help with injuries etc.
All the gear- but too much beer.... what AM I doing?!

Weight shouldn't be an issue.

Cldesdale racing never took off in the UK.They did try at a couple of triathlons,but there was not a big uptake.
Mainly happens across the pond.
Just google Clydesdale triathlon,and hopefully you could get some hints etc,or end up looking at pictures of large horses :lol:

I am 96kg,I struggle on the more hilly courses,and personnally couldn't give a stuff if a skinny competitor gives me a funny look.
Only the true self,which transcends the personal,lays claim to immortality.

True - most top flight elite sprinters are "fat" according to their BMI.
