March Bike Challenge - Big 10 Team

Sign me up for 100 miles.  Have marathon training this month too.  Ugghh.

It's March everyone - I don't think the other understand what the Big 10 is made of.....

LET'S ROCK!

I graduated from a big 10 school.....

I'm in for 9 hours as well. 

Gosh, I feel like a lightweight here.  But I guess I also know my limits.  I would hate to put down more time and miss my goal. 

Just trying to get readey for my first Tri, following the Sprint plan. 

Go BIG 10

One good thing about BT is everyone has their own level.  If I tried to keep up with those fit enough for Ironman competition, I'd get discouraged pretty fast!  The whole point it to challenge yourself to reach your goals - but I always read blogs from those alot more fit than I am and dream of that day......

Don't forget to have fun - it makes everything worthwhile!

Tam,

I understand, I just know myself.  Putting in miles in March is not unheard of.  But this is my first year of not JUST biking.  I have to allow enough running and swimming time.  In the past I would have been able to have done alot more miles on the bike.  Just spreading my time over all three is going to take more planning.

ok guys....so....i really am not a fan of biking so i wasn't going to do the bike challenge, but i think i'ts necessary to make me better.  so i'll put something down that has just got to be achievable...5 hours!!!!  yeah!!  maybe eventually i will be a speed demon.  But for now, i need to just get my *** in a saddle.  thanks for encouraging me, feb. run challengers, to get in this thing!

 go big 10!!!!! (i.e. wolverines )  big 10 will DOMINATE!

Checking in from Michigan where it is raining, sleeting and snowing - at the same time.  Have you ever heard thunder while it is snowing?  Gotta love Michigan weather!  Looks like I will be spinning more then biking outside this week.

Oh, and I'm in for 8 hours if you all will have me!

Go Big 10 Team!!! 

I'm in - 200 miles.

And I am a Wolverine, Spartan, and Gopher all at once...

I would just do what you can, and what your mind will let you.  Don't over commit because when you do, it just causes problems.  I figure my training plan calls for 328 minutes, I have already ridden extra but not counting it yet.  I don't count my warm-up running or biking.  Just count the time that I am really working on my training.

Once the temps break, I will be outside riding, but that could be a week or 4.  I can ride down to 30's, but I don't LIKE to do that.  But I will likely get out and do some ANYWAY, just because I don't want to sit on the trainer all the time.  I need that wind in my face feeling, even if the wind is 42 degrees F.
