Adrian and Kevin are 24-year-old twins who are both obese. Adrian has been in a committed, long-term relationship for almost two years. Adrian and his girlfriend moved in together a few months ago, and now that they have settled into their new place and new living arrangements, Adrian is looking for a new challenge. So, he decides to start training for a triathlon.
Kevin has recently been putting in a lot of overtime at work (and has sacrificed his social life to do so), but this extra time is paying off because he's in line for a promotion.

Even though Kevin doesn't have much of a life outside of work, he feels like he makes an important contribution and is a valued member of the team.
