Ed Tepper

I was 60 years old, overweight and had recently been diagnosed as having Type 2 diabetes. So I bought a bicycle and started riding with a local club and some other friends. The next year I thought I was doing fairly well by working my way up to complete a century ride but then I hit a plateau that I could not break through. Coincidentally I found Team Type 2 and started training with Tim Henry. I never had a real personal coach before and did not know what to expect. What I got was a personalized plan that catapulted me through the plateau that I could not break through before. Over a five-month period I lost 15 pounds or about 8% of my starting weight. I became a much stronger rider and found myself having to stop and wait for other riders who had to show me that courtesy last year. I'm very much looking forward to continuing my training with Tim and being part of a successful Team Type 2 RAAM team next year.
