By Steve Edmonson

Hello my name is Steve Edmonson, and since May of 2005, I have completed 6-7 Triathlons per year, including (4) 70.3 distance events, and numerous 1/2 Marathons, and the Twin Cities Marathon in 2006, 2007 and 2009. My claim to fame in these races is that I entered, and finished.

The reason MTN asked me to write this article is more because of where I came from than anything else. I take you back to the morning of December 10th 2003, I am checking in at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, and they weighed me in at a svelt 575 pounds...
