I'm trying this challenge in January, if anyone wants to join.  You have to complete the total mileage of an Iron-distance triathlon within two weeks. (Feel free to adjust the length as necessary - but try to make it challenging for yourself.)  You can break up workouts however you like, so long as your total mileage adds up (2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of biking, 26.2 miles of running.)

If only I had my indoor bike trainer!  This sounds like a good goal.  Good luck.

Mine will be indoors, b/c even with no snow in NH this year, it is still pretty cold.  I'm counting Spinning classes as miles, too.

I love the concept, I considered doing this to end the year but thought better of it. 

 

 

My Goal - Double Ironman for the Month of January.

January's totals:
Bike: 4h 4m - 69.72 Mi
Run: 3h 21m - 16.92 Mi
Swim: 29m 46s - 1400 Yd

Was sick last week so my swim is low, but I'll fix that. I've got a metric century scheduled for Sat, so that should finish me up.

I am under paced on everything.  I have hopes of some monster miles the last couple of weekends.

Another few days in.  I don't see me hitting the goal of a double for the month, but I think doing an IM in the last 2 weeks is realistic.  Thus, I start tomorrow and will hit that.

Well the first two weeks have passed and I completed everything but the run.....due to bad weather. An ice storm in Tulsa starting Friday pretty much made everything outside impossible and closed every workout facility in town So looks like I'm down to my trainer until I can get outside or to the Y......here are my totals to date.....


Bike: 9h 23m - 138.77 Mi (one hour on trainer but no mileadge added)
Run: 3h 37m 49s - 22.2 Mi
Swim: 3h 10m - 6200 M

I will see what I can do not next two weeks.
