OK, I converted everything from metric, only now it doesn't look nearly as good as it did. I logged just a hair over 1630 miles from January to the end of June this year. If I double it, it comes out to 3260.1 miles. As I recall, the original 'double your pleasure' challenge called for at least a mile more in the last 6 months of the year, so I'm aiming for committing to at least 3261.1 miles of biking for 2008. In my log I'll see that as 5,248.23 kilometers.

Heh, i put a spreadsheet together on Sunday to track my stuff.

Jan-Jun08 i rode for 33:57:13. x2+1 hour means i have to ride 68:54:26 more hours by the end of December. i suspect a lot of the last few months will be on the trainer, if this coming winter is anything at all like last winter...

It would be an honor to be in a challenge with KathyG the Ironman!

I rode 1628.33 (Jan-June) so I have to do 3256.66 (Holy Carp Batman). Hmm let me rethink this?????

Alright I am in. Better hope for a dry warm Oct, Nov, Dec. If the snow flies early this year this could be quite interesting for sure!

I am reading this right or do I need to hit 3257.66 for the whole year? Please clarify before I start sleeping on my bike for the next 5 months!

3257.66+1 mile for whole year...do what you did first 6 months plus a mile....you can do it I know you can

I'd like to get in on this please   I rode 964.5 the first half of the year.  Considering after my 1/2IM in August I'm going into no running mode for a little bit it should make it easier to meet this goal.  Does this mean I have to hit 2893.5 by years end?

Clarification...you just need to have year end total be twice what Jan-June total was plus 1 mile.

If you rode 800 miles through end of June goal would be to ride total of 1601 miles for whole year. Going for 2401 would be super....and you may set your goal higher.

Okay, I'm in for doubling what I did from Jan-June in the biking realm.

Jan-June: 1660.34

So, total year final goal needs to be: 3331.68 or more.

Glad you clarified - I was thinking there was no way I could double what I've already ridden with only half a year left! Let me look at my numbers and see if I can play along

My training log resembled a ghost town for the first half of the year, so doubling my mileage (a whopping 375mi... ouch!) isn't a very ambitious goal. Since this is my HTFU week, I'm going to be audacious and commit to quadrupling that number by the end of the year. So, 1125 miles July-December for a nice, round 1500 miles in 2008. I'm switching my focus to marathon training in October, and this will keep my butt in the saddle even while I'm run-focused.

Unfortunately I don't think I can do this. It looks like fun, but my running will pick up in October/November and I'm not sure I can squeeze in all of the riding necessary.

Wow. I thought you had to completely double your mileage for the last half year. It makes it a lot easier having not to!

I'm still going to double it though because I barely rode my bike at all this past winter!

36 h 30 min for the last half of the year remains my goal.

I like this one, I had to think a bit since I will be without bike for three weeks in October when visiting my home town in New Hampshire, but then I realized I could rent a bike, I have a lot of bike friends back east.

From Jan-June I rode 38 hours and 581 miles, now thinking about so more I should be able to do more than that since I already double what usually do this month, yeah for me! I like this because I tend to slack come november/december with all the festivities, great idea!

amyro1234 - 2008-07-30 4:45 AM Wow. I thought you had to completely double your mileage for the last half year. 

That's what I thought too!  I think I'll go for it anyway, I kind of have to since I'm doing a HIM in Nov.

Is this strictly biking or can we include running / swimming as well?

Since I've only got one month of biking, I'm going to x 12 + 1 and that's what my year end total should be.
