    I would live to enter this challenge... But it's a real challenge because i can't swim and I have no access to a bike.. How can I modify this?? Does running/walking 3times as much count:huh: ?

    26/3 Bike 17.76
    Totals:
    Swim 0
    Bike 103.19
    Run 36.77

    This is by far my best month. even though i had an injury that has stopped me from swimming and also running for more than a week.

    My goals were:
    Swim: 2.4 - non due to injury
    Bike: 60 - Hammered and i think i will make the IM distance
    Run: 60 - I think i should finish about 15 to 20 miles short, which having a week off im happy with.

    I would love to complete 2 ironmans for the month. That means:
    swim: 4.8
    walk/run: 52.4
    Bike: 224

    March 1 - 7: Swim - 2.25, walk - 19.5, bike - 0 (no bike until March 9)
    March 8 - 14: Swim - 1.0, walk - 10.5, bike - 51

    Well, am surprising myself with what I am getting done on the bike this week. When I leave the gym, I am soaked but really enjoying the extra effort I am putting in to complete this. I love this challenge, it has really motivated me.

Keep your fingers crossed that I don't hurt my knee again.

    How do you guys get such long bike ride on here? 50 miles a DAY??? I get excited if I get over 6.5...lol. How long does it take you to go that far? I usually just go on the bike at the gym for 30 mins. They're programmed there for only 30 mins at a time, and if people are waiting you HAVE to get off...so I cant keep repeating the 30 mins over and over...

    Hi alliesun, it takes me a little less than 3 hours to ride 50 miles. It's harder to ride that distance indoors on a trainer or at the gym. Now that the weather is nicer, it is easier to get a long ride in outdoors.
