    Is it too late to join? Love this idea, though not much of a swimmer.

    Ok, goals are as follows:

    Running/walking: 52.4 miles
    Biking: 112 miles
    Swimming: 1 mile

    I upped my running and halved my swimming...will be a big challenge for me, but ready to try.

    Adding what I have done so far in May:

    Running/walking: 12/52.4
    Biking 0/112
    Swimming: 0/1 mile

    I'm going to have to modify my goals - my bike is broken :( the chain keeps jumping between gears on the back, if i get some time i'll muddle around with it (and probably break it more, but hey ho xD).

    Keeping my running/swimming goals the same though :)

    Ran into a little ITBS issue and I have an Oly on the 20th, so I'll be taking a little break and modifying my goals for the month as I really want to be healthy for this race.

    Totals through May 10:

    Swim: 2 miles
    Bike: 12 Miles
    Run: 22.5

    Planning on biking 12 in the morning. I signed up for another sprint today on my birthday in July. The swim is in the Mississippi River right in downtown St Paul, MN. I am very excited for this one!! I have biked much of the course in the past and it is hilly and challenging. Should be a great way to start my birthday!!

    I have been super slack in tracking. I ran 17 miles last week. 4 miles Tuesday and 3 today so a total of 24 miles running.

    I finally made it to the pool for the first time since Jan or Feb. .75 miles that day.

    Still haven't gotten onthe bike. That is my goal for my next 4 days (I am off). Bike and swim.
