propr to you guys and girls on schedule... i should have 400 tomorrow.  Unlikely I'll hit 700 as I have a (almost) HIM this weekend, but it should be without question my biggest month ever.

Man I was so stoked to hit 700 miles and now I have to travel all next week - so how do I hit 245 between Saturday and then Friday, Saturday and Sunday next week.  Might get some Moab biking in Tuesday but that will only be 30 or so if that much.

Even if I hit running up to around 70 or 80 I still have to hit 200 on the bike.  This stinks!

Oh well there is always next month right?




That does suck. Life has a nasty way of getting in the way. The only real way you could do it is to take the bike on the road with you or hit the gym cycle a couple hours each night. Either that or hit 120 on Saturday and then 45 next Friday Saturday and Sunday, but try to explain that to the family next weekend.

All you can do is give it your best shot, I missed last weekend for a camping trip and it is going to be tight for me.

All right, last weekend. Did my last commute ride of the month today. I got myself a cool 78 miles to finish things off on Saturday. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Dude, I think you did great. If you compare the time spent on the bike we are pretty close, I just lucked out with being able to spend more time on the tri bike compared to your mountain biking and commuting.

Great job.

I only have to put 200 miles in over the weekend since I just cracked 500 thanks to this business trip - oh well next month!

You guys are kicking butt.

I really wanted to do this in August but I was just to fatigued from my IM which meant I needed  more time resting. I'm going to try again in September but need to be flexible if I need more down time to recover.

It is a lot of riding hugh?

Thanks for the Challenge Kathy, it really motivated me. I made a number of workouts that I may have skipped or scaled back if it were not for the challenge.

I finished today, a total of 705.79 in 45 hours and 50 minutes. 403 miles on my try bike for a total of 25 hours 41 minutes, the rest communting.

Tough tough tough tough tough challenge.

Thanks again.
