i was wondering if anyone out there would like to join me in a challenge to swim, bike, and run the combined distances of an Iron Man race over the month of June?
That is in total 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swimming, 112-mile (180.25 km) cycling and a 26.2 miles (42.2 km) of running.
for those that are interested, just post up as often as you'd like to update your tally. i keep track of my milage on google calendars, so i'll be posting once a week.
distances covered indoors or outdoors, or on during a race, count.

I was thinking about using Strava because my GPS triathlon watch auto syncs to it but I prefer Runkeeper, I can upload my maps and HR info pretty easily.0 -
In, minus the cardio bits.0

maybe. let's see how june goes.0 -
I'm up for this. Already do the running and cycling but this will make me go to the pool as I have a 1 mile swim coming up in July.
I have a Garmin, how did you set the challenge up on GC.0 -

you should see on the dashboard page a tab that says "plan." hover over it with your mouse and it should have a drop down menu that says "goals."0 -
WEll I have wanted to start swimming some. I am in. I know the running will be easy. Bike I can do. Swimming will be a challenge.0

If you break it down that way.......I can manage a couple of 500m+ swims per week (bike & run no problem, I'm just lazy when it comes to the swimming)0 -
