Member 62 War Eagle!!!! | Subject: RE: July 400 Mile Challenge! I am at 336.3/400! I have doubled last months total. It is going to be hard for me to make the 400 because I have a very hectic rest of the month but I am going to do my best to get there. Whatever happens this challenge has been good for me.

Veteran 161 Vancouver, WA | Subject: RE: July 400 Mile Challenge! i finally surpassed the 200 mile mark, and with only one or two more rides scheduled, i'm sure i won't get to 400. i just had too much fun running and swimming this month. i'm still intimidated by rides long than 2 hours, big down hills, big up hills, cars, anything on the side of the road that looks like it could cause a flat, and most of all, bugs flying into my mouth while i'm riding. |

Expert 1205 Herndon VA | Subject: RE: July 400 Mile Challenge! 409 for the month with a race on Sunday. That's my most miles since I started logging my training here over a year ago. I always say I'm not going to do any more of these challenges but they always get me to do the most training. Ernie |

Regular 76 Kentucky | Subject: RE: July 400 Mile Challenge! 32 Miles on Tuesday and another 32 and change tonight. This challenge has certainly killed my swimming and running for the month, but I love the bike any so who cares Month total - 458 Miles. Weather permitting I'll close out the month with 2-3 more rides; I think 550 may be doable. Needing a break soon as this challenge has certainly tested the ol under carriage |

Best applied by laying face down in a pool and kicking your legs while using your arms to pull yourself forward through the water. This is advice I receive often due to my Touche'! I had to laugh out loud at that one. That idea is just crazy enough to work. After riding another 27 miles, I grabbed a beer and floated around in my pool. I think the chlorine treatment alone is working. I am starting to feel better already. Thanks for the sage advise hangloose! Edited by crouse 2006-07-27 8:39 PM |

| Subject: RE: July 400 Mile Challenge! Congrats on everyone making their goals! It has taken me a few days to get up the nerve to make this post, but here it goes... After 2 races (this month), a bike wreck, and a nasty stomach virus, I know that I am not going to make 400 miles. I still have a few more days left in the month, and I plan on making a final post. I have already done more miles (both running and biking) than I ever have before, and I am cool with that. Unfortunately, health comes first, race performance second (close second |

Oh well, I was close... and not bad for missing the first week of the month, missing 2 days during the month and cutting back the 2nd week of the month. |
