I want to challenge myself to exercise more this month, so I have set a goal for myself to run/walk 26 miles, bike 100 miles and swim 1 mile. I know this isn't quite Ironman numbers but it's a goal I feel I can attain (I am a terrible swimmer). Is anyone interested in joining me? If you are, please post your miles every couple of days. Here is my mileage count from September 1st.
One more thing, feel free to adjust the Triathlon goal to suit your time and or fitness level. You could do an Ironman, Olympic or Sprint distance triathlon or set your own mileage goals for the month.
I'm a little bummed I haven't had any takers on the September Triathlon Challenge. Feel free to jump in with any swim/bike/run combo goal, there is still plenty of September left. Here is my updated totals
Swim - 0
Bike - 26.25 miles
Walk/Run 7.18 miles
My goal is to get a couple good runs and a long bike ride in before the weekend.
Oh, this is a challenge that I want to try (or tri ) . My brother just completed teh ironman in Wisconsin last week (in just under 14 hours), and I'm so inspired that I am thinking of doing my 1st tri in June (a sprint distance).
Anyway, I'll play!!!
For this month for me so far:
Swim 0/ 1800 yards (I think that's a mile)
Bike 5/100 miles
Run-walk 7/26 miles
Thanks for joining, I had figured that I was on my own this month.
I have done a few sprint distance tris. Next summer I will sign up for another and hope to post major improvements on my times. Swimming is my worst event.
I just saw this challenge...what a great idea! I'm too close to the end of the month, but I definitely want to participate next month. I'm just starting back to exercising after taking a few weeks off. I've done sprint distance triathalons in the past, and used to swim with my local masters swim team.
Had this been last year I would have been in! My husband and I were both training a lot and I did a couple sprint triathlons. DH is actually signed up for a half ironman in spring but I'm waiting until I lose weight. I have trouble with one of my hips and I don't want to run with any more weight on me than I have to.
Anyone that wants to be in on the October Tri Challenge, I will start a new thread under Chicks up for a Challenge called October Triathlon Challenge. Look for it next week.
Here is my updated mileage:
Bike - 54.64 miles
walk/run - 29.12 miles
swim - 0
