Welcome new and returning triathletes!
The traditional challenge is to complete Ironman Triathlon mileage in the 30 days of June
--Swimming 2.4 Miles
--Biking 112 miles
--Running 26.2 miles
You may modify your mileage goals to suit your specific circumstances (e.g., no bike, no pool access, goals, etc.) just set and declare those goals at the beginning of the month. It must still be a combination of running/walking, biking, and swimming we all love.
All skill levels welcome! We traditionally have some phenominal tri athletes here and some working toward their first sprint tri's. Feel free to Friend request those you find interesting, alot of support here goes on behind the scenes. Anyone may FR me.
We'll use this forum all month to log and report our mileage. You can log daily or weekly-- whatever keeps you motivated!
**New this month: If you have any upcoming events in June, please list them with your goals, so we can cheer you on!*********
Love this group

Hey Butters - we are racing the same weekend!0 -
I'm in again. Fell short in May but joined mid-month so I'll cut myself some slack. Going with the traditional goal. Have a vacation in June but the rental comes with bikes so I hope to get in some good mileage! Have my second open water swim clinic at the end of the month and am hoping for improvement for last time.
Love love love doing this and few people on here are as supportive as Butters!!0 -
This sounds doable! I read the topic and was like... what?? Ironman in June??? Riiiight. But if I have the entire month, I bet I can push myself to do it!!
Count me in for the June Ironman Challenge!! :-)
Goals - 2.4mi swimming, 112 mi biking, 26.2mi running
Oh and @3dogsrunning and @Butters1 - My sprint tri is the same day is yall's!!! Memorial Hermann Sprint Triathlon (Houston, TX) Very first one; I'm a combination of terrified and excited!!

I am totally interested in joining, but I am very new to MFP and not sure how everything works (I am lucky I can actually log my food and exercise successfully). If someone could help me out on what i would need to do on here, I will tackle the mileage on my end. Thanks.0

I'm in again! I didn't make the biking last month, but I will definitely give it another go! Maybe one day I'll feel confident enough to do a sprint triathlon.
Traditional for goals: 26.2 miles running, 112 miles biking, 2.4 swimming miles0 -
I'm in!!!! I'm planning a triathlon in the next six months, probably olympic distance. Don't have a specific race set because my life is always a little unpredictable. This sounds like a fun challenge and a great motivation to stick with the training. Looking forward to it!:bigsmile:0

I'm in!
2.4 mile swim
112 mile bike
26.2 mile run
My plan is to complete by the 22nd of June. 8 running sessions (3.3 Miles each). 8 biking sessions (12-15 miles each). 3 swimming sessions (two 70 lap sessions and one 29 lap session).
My work has a great athletic facility, so I will be using the pool, the eliptical/treadmill, and recumbant or spin class bike.0 -

I'm fairy new to the site but would love to tri your challenge, just getting back into working out , but with a whole month to do I might be able to get the bike and run in, taking swim lessons starting June 9, not sure what class will be like or if I will be able to track distance so not sure about swim.
I have a 30-50 mile bike ride planned for June 10 ....was going to shoot for 50 miles, the 70-100 are a bit too far atm.
I have only run twice, since I started working out again and only a mile each day this will keep me motivated to keep running..
I would like do do another ironman and am thinking of Cozumel 2015, I did FL ironman 2001 , but became in active and gained weight over the years, so will definitely require alot more training this time around

I have several friends going back for round 2 at Cozumel. The course is beautiful and many put this on the must do list.
My goal is to get every workout my coach puts in front of me done. She wants me to learn butterfly soooooo...... yikes.
Today: 9.37 mile run.0 -

I did not do this last month, but want to come back this month. I am hoping to do the traditional ironman. I will only count miles on the outdoor bike, not the stationary one in the gym. Will not be running, but walking with the bad knee and all. I should be able to do this even with going away for a week in the middle of the month. Keep it healthy everyone.0 -
