August - 2nd Annual Boy's vs Girls Swim / Run Challenge !! (Page 7)

I guess will be able to see on Monday who is going to be wearing their assatar in September. And I really like his idea! Sounds like we have a September Challenge. Who's going to lead this one?

Happy training, and keep that mileage coming gentleman!!

Good luck with that. 

I'm sitting over 1/3rd done in both things (ahead of schedule) ....... 11,500 yards and over 50 miles running.

I'm going for an epic swim tomorrow (planned at least) with my most ever yards and going to do it continuous in the wetsuit.  Plan is at least 4,000 yards if I can do it ...... considering I'm a month and a half out from my first IM distance swim, I need to confidence boost right now.

But they are having their summer shut-down at my main pool next week, so I'll have to go to one of the others in my package plan for the facilities I use, which will throw me off a little.

I'm looking forward to seeing quite a bit of hot tri bods in two pieces, that's for sure!!

that IS an epic swim! they'd need a stretcher for me after that many yards - though i did do my longest swim ever in the pool today so YAY me!

as for the hot tri bods, we'll enjoy them as much as you!

Daremo,

     Just find that zone for the swim which is about the same as biking or running. Swimming at least 4000 yds is the least you should do , since a full IM is about 4225 yds = 2.4 miles. Go for it, and the boys are all behind you. We all know you can do it.  Just find that tempo that make you feel like you could go for ever, that is the best feeling.  Good luck and do well.

 Cheers!!

Lady's, it appears from some of the logs that you are slacking, so we look forward on seeing those great Triathletes bods next month!!

Wow, Rick, didn't know you had a thing for hot tri guys in bikinis, but hey, whatever floats your boat for 4000yds tomorrow! Good luck!

Knew that one was coming after I typed my reply before ........

Well, I did it ..... 4,300 yards actually - the IM distance.

Man I'm tired ......... but I'm now over 1/2 way to my month goal!

Here's where I am so far:

SWIM: 5966M DONE -  12034 TO GO

RUN: 10.28 M -  4.72 TO GO.

I'm going to have to up my run to 20 miles..........Can I do that?  

Real nice job Daremo, keep it up. Guys, tomorow is Saturday, and let's see how much mileage we can all get in. Push it up, swimming is easy, and you know how much running you can put in safely, so push it up.  Great job so far.

I am at 10,650 meters done for the challenge and have 19350 to go.  I think that puts me at my weekly goal - if I can do the meters->yards conversion right.

I believe I am on track.

here are my #'s for this week

Swim: 5100 yards

Run: 9.1 miles

#'s for the month

Swim: 6850 yards

Run: 16.63 miles

planned OWS tomorrow - go girls!

Lookin' good, ladies! Lookin' sooooo good I'm sure we won't even have to prove it at the end of the month ... unlike the men.

Here's my totals/breakdown/random stats:
