Rep Power: 19 | | | Triathlon Challenge - July 2009 I've been thinking about some sort of triathlon challenge to create for a long time now but I couldn't think of how to structure it. I have come up with several good ideas. Since this is the first month I will make this one the easiest. Depending on how many members step up to the challenge, each month may get a little more challenging.
For this month, we can choose one, two, or all three legs of the ironman length triathlon to do. In other words, you can do only the swimming, only the biking or only the running or you can do two or three of them if you are feeling brave. You have the entire month to complete the full length of the leg.
An ironman length triathlon consists of the following legs:
2.4 miles of swimming
112 miles of biking
26.2 miles of running
If you complete one leg in July you get one star, two legs you get two stars and all three you get three stars.
For this month you can even use walking distances for the running part.
I am going to try to do all three for the month so wish me luck.
Good luck to everyone!

Rep Power: 46 | | | Sounds like fun.
I'll do the swimming and the jogging (although I'll lbe walking it - bad knees), but not the biking.
A - my bike is a piece of crap
B - I live on the side of a big valley, and there's no way I am in sufficient shape to get a bike back up the hill.
Can we use all of July or just starting today? |

Rep Power: 19 | | Awesome! I would hate to do this alone.
Sorry about being a couple days late in starting the challenge. You can count July 1st and 2nd if you happend to swim, bike or run on those days. If you did not, you can also use the first two days of August if you need to. That would only be fair.
I am hoping to get at least a few members to join us this month. Next month I will have a new triathlon challenge and it will be based on how many stars you earn this month. |

Rep Power: 19 | | There we go. That's what I'm talking about! So you are almost on pace to do a marathon per week this month! Almost seems unfair to give you just one star at the end of the month. Maybe we could give out some sort of monthly accomplishment title in code? Like 4xM or something.
Depending on which sport you are best at, swimming, biking or running, next month will challenge you a little more. So be ready.  But for now, just focus on July. |

I was like, "what? I haven't seen any updated miles?!?" Then I noticed you kept editing your post above. You'll get your star at the end of the month. Keep on logging your miles and maybe I'll give you more than one star depending on how many marathons you run this month.  You'll just have to wait and find out. |
