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., distance changes, 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!
*****If you have any upcoming events in July, please list them with your goals, so we can cheer you on!*********
Love this group

I'm in will post my goal once I see how June ends0

I'm all in for the Ironman.0
-
Great Idea! I like those goals. I competed in one Duathlon and ran my first half-marathon last summer. I would really like to get myself ready for a sprint tri. The swimming scares me. I can swim.... but more for leisure rather than distance or competition.
I'll go with the Ironman distances for July.
Swim: 2.4 miles
Cycle: 112 miles
Run: 26.2 miles
I will also be riding in Terre Haute, Indiana on July 14th in the "Hauteans-in-motion ride".... either 50 miles or metric century ride (67 miles)0 -
This next two months are my build period before actually racing Ironman Wales in September. That means ever more training... I have one week mid July that will be low volume due to work, but apart from that i'm trying to kill it in July. so....
Monthly goals
Swim 15 miles
Ride 500 miles
Run 110 miles
My legs ache just thinking about it :grumble:0 -

I did my first sprint 6/24. There is no reason to worry about the swim if you can make the distance.:) There were plenty of non expert swimmers there.
& sounds like a great bike race. Yay!
@crux - wow.0 -
I'm in for July. I'm training for my first 2 tris this summer (a "Try a Tri" on Aug. 4th and a sprint on Sept. 1).
I'll go for the full Ironman distance (put into kms for my Canadian self..)
Swim: 2.4 miles (3.9 km)
Cycle: 112 miles (180km)
Run: 26.2 miles (42km)
I feel like the bike might be hard for me to get in this month, but I'll give it a shot.0 -
I'm gonna go for the 70.3 (I want to do Ironman UK 70.3 next yr)
Swim; 1.2 miles
Bike, 56 miles
Run, 13.1 miles0 -
I'm doing IMKY in Aug. What a fun forum to follow.0
-
I'm in! Looking my the calendar it will definitely be a challenge but I'm going to try for the traditional 2.4 swim, 112 bike, and 26.2 run in July.
I have an Olympic Distance race scheduled for July 150 -
I'm in! I almost did it in June without really trying, so this time I will do it
Swimming : 4km
Biking : 500km
Running : 50 km
That's slightly more than the Ironman for the run, and more than double for the bike, but I bike commute so it should be ok.
Good luck everyone, especially Crux with his ramp up month 0 -
I'm going for the traditional distance again. If I surpass all of them again this month, I'll up next months.0

Hi,
I'm still pretty new to MFP, but this seems like a good group for me.
I am training for a sprint - my first in 5 years and since having 2 kids!
I haven't ever tracked mileage cumulatively like this before so I will set my goal and see how it goes....I think the bike miles will be the biggest challenge as I have trouble finding the time!
Swim - 2.4
Run 3.1/26.2
Bike 20/112
7/1 - 5k race (3.1) & 20m bike - big day!
7/2 - 3 mile walk (not logging above)
(also, if anyone has similar goals, please feel free to add me - would love some "tri" friends on here 0 -
I'm going to try to do the standard:
--Swimming 2.4 Miles
--Biking 112 miles
--Running 26.2 miles
I'm sure I can do the biking but it should be fun to try to do the swimming and running.
Here's my sheet:

So far this week to start July:
Swim: 0 (Booooo!)
Run: 0 (Booooo!)
Bike: 70 miles
Planning to run/walk tomorrow morning! It has been over 100 degrees everyday for the last 2 weeks here in Indiana! It's ridiculous. I have to get out super early otherwise it's just miserable right now.
Anyone else struggling with the heat?0 -
July 3rd 17.2 miles bike
July 4th swim 0.55 miles
July 5th bike 16.2 miles

swim 0.55/ 2.4 miles

bike 33.4/112 miles0 -
bump for later, the other passion that pays my bills is calling.0

"Minor" setback for my challenge, my seatpost broke in half, with a piece left stuck inside the frame. And since it's an old bike (8 years), and that seatpost hadn't move in 6 years, it's pretty much welded there now
Bike replacement will arrive on the 18th or so, I doubt I'll have time to make up for the lost time to get to 500km
Next month! Run and swim though, it's still on!0
