WFMY News 2 Producer Carrie Hodgin is on a mission to lose 100 pounds and she's sharing every part of her journey with you. And this year Carrie is doing something she's never done before as she trains for a triathlon. The triathlon is in the Outer Banks on September 13. It's a spring triathlon and it means Carrie will swim 750 meters, bike 13.5 miles and swim a 5K. Carrie decided to do the triathlon to challenge herself even more, to increase her fitness, and to lose weight.

So far she's been doing a lot of preparation. Part of that preparation means doing a lot of things that don't involve working out as well. Carrie has four apps she wanted to share that's helping her during her workouts. The first is Runkeeper. The apps helps keep track of distance, time, maps out your run/walk, calories and more. You can also compare workouts. The next app is the Runtastic Bike Road it is about the same but for cycling. Also Instant Fitness as the app allows you to take your workout where ever you go.

Carrie says she's also watching a lot of Youtube videos. That means she's searching "how to" videos from how to get more out of your swim to how to pedal like a pro. She also has a notebook that helps her keep track of upcoming 5K and cycling events.

Carrie has also joined RunnerDude Fitness to help train for the 5K portion, she's also joining the Triad Triathlon Team, looking into the Greensboro Velcro Club, and she's working with Complete Wellness Healthy Lifestyle Coaching.
