i posed this in the main forum, but wanted to reach out to this group as well.
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.

Count me in. Maybe this will actually give me some incentive to get my *kitten* in the pool.0

as you can see, i spent waaaaay too much time in transition. granted, transition was long!!! from where i was racked to where i had to run my bike out was a ways out, and then the return after dismount as well. i don't think putting on my cycling shoes in T1 and then swapping them out for sneakers in T2 took that long at all, just that getting to my rack took a while.0 -

Also, I might have a slight addiction to the bike. Came home from one of the most beautiful state parks today and the place I wanted to be most was behind the lycra-clad cyclist.0 -
