    I like this. However, as an ex competitive swimmer I always find it funny how underrepresented the swimming portion is in triathalons

    A little late to the game on this, jumping in mid-month but I just saw this challenge today. I am training for my first sprint distance tri in July so this challenge is perfect. Had I set my goals at the start of the month, I would have gone with the traditional goals. That said, looking at my training log thus far, here is my progress as of May 15:

    Swim: 5000 meters (3.1 miles)
    Bike: 23 miles
    Run: 5 miles

    This certainly made me realize that my training has been "swim-centric" because that is the discipline that scares me most. Hitting the biking goal may be tough - time for some longer workouts!

    My totals through May 18th:

    Swim 4 miles
    Bike 48 miles
    Run 41 miles

    Definitely going to hit my running goal this week. The weather has been so nice in Minnesota that I have wanted to be outside instead of in the pool! I should still hit my other goals too though.

    I am in this month.

    Swim 4 Miles
    Bike 15 Hours (Most is on an indoor trainer so easier for me to keep up with hours)
    Run 30 Miles

    I have been fighting a respiratory infection the last two weeks so my training the last 2 weeks has been minimal. We will see what I can make up.

    Current:
    Swim 1.82 Miles
    Bike 5 Hours
    Run 13.93 Miles

    Totals thus far:

    Running: 20.2 (26.2)
    Biking: 55 miles (112)
    Swimming: 2 miles (2.4)

    I think I may actually be able to get the run/walk and swim, not too sure with the biking though.
