    We can definitely catch up! But we are further than we have been the past few months!

    8/19: 1 mile walking
    8/20: 1 mile swimming

    Total 2 miles

    Today I did a 1 mi open water swim race. It was awesome. Tomorrow I am doing a sprint triathlon, so I'll have lots of miles to post tomorrow! Great job to everyone!

    I think we can make it to the Top 5 if we keep stepping!

    Good Job on your swim race! 2nd in your group is GREAT! Good Luck Tomorrow! :flowerforyou:

    how big is a standard pool? i did 23 laps each day of our vacation (wednesday thru sunday) but i don't know how to convert that to miles. probably doesn't amount to much, but every bit helps. we have a 3 hour family bike ride coming up next weekend so that should add a bunch.
  • bstamps12

    GBOH: Most pools are 25 yds long, so 23 laps would be 575 yds.... I would round that to 2 miles swimming total (1650 yds is a mile in swimming).

    Todays miles: 10 miles. 1/2 mi swim, 3.5 mi run, and 16 mi bike that converts to 6 miles on the worksheet.

    The sprint triathlon was fun, but my back was in a lot of pain. No more biking for a while. I think my muscle spasms have returned unfortunately. My back thinks it's 60 yrs old instead of 21. :mad: It was God's strength that got me through the bike in my sprint tri today. I had planned to start 10K training now that tri season is over...but we'll see how my back responds to that.

    We are rocking our miles...keep it up girls!!!
