MARCH Ironman Challenge (Open Group)

I would live to enter this challenge... But it's a real challenge because i can't swim and I have no access to a bike.. How can I modify this?? Does running/walking 3times as much count:huh: ?

26/3 Bike 17.76
Totals:
Swim 0
Bike 103.19
Run 36.77

This is by far my best month. even though i had an injury that has stopped me from swimming and also running for more than a week.

My goals were:
Swim: 2.4 - non due to injury
Bike: 60 - Hammered and i think i will make the IM distance
Run: 60 - I think i should finish about 15 to 20 miles short, which having a week off im happy with.

I would love to complete 2 ironmans for the month. That means:
swim: 4.8
walk/run: 52.4
Bike: 224

March 1 - 7: Swim - 2.25, walk - 19.5, bike - 0 (no bike until March 9)
March 8 - 14: Swim - 1.0, walk - 10.5, bike - 51
March 15 - 21: Swim - 0.75, walk - 10.12, bike - 56.5
March 22 - 28: Swim - 1.0, walk - 10.37, bike - 67.75 (Had a great workout today, knee not too bad - drugs work wonders)

Total: Swim - 5.0, walk - 50.5, bike - 175.25

Well, am surprising myself with what I am getting done on the bike this week. When I leave the gym, I am soaked but really enjoying the extra effort I am putting in to complete this. I love this challenge, it has really motivated me.

got closer to my goals this month. going to do it again for April...hope to get even closer. Great job everyone!!!

How do you guys get such long bike ride on here? 50 miles a DAY??? I get excited if I get over 6.5...lol. How long does it take you to go that far? I usually just go on the bike at the gym for 30 mins. They're programmed there for only 30 mins at a time, and if people are waiting you HAVE to get off...so I cant keep repeating the 30 mins over and over...

Hi alliesun, it takes me a little less than 3 hours to ride 50 miles. It's harder to ride that distance indoors on a trainer or at the gym. Now that the weather is nicer, it is easier to get a long ride in outdoors.

My Goals
2.4 mile swim (3.86 km)
125 mile bike (200 km)
62.5 mile run (100 km)
spend less time lifting and more time biking and running
