30-day Triathalon starts today!!

Today I started the Contact Mid-Atlantic 30-day triathalon.  I have 30-days to swim 2.4 miles, 115 miles biking, and 26.3 miles running. This is a great way to test yourself.  Not being much of a swimmer, this is perfect to get me into training, and keep training in the winter.  I anticipate getting involvement in several sprints this summer. Today I completed a 3.2 mile run (23.2 miles left), 21 miles spinning (94 miles left), and 8 lengths in the pool (152 lengths remaining).  Swimming laps is extremely painful but I need to relearn how to make progress in the pool.

Hi Rob.  Super job! That's a good idea. Earl

That sounds like a pretty cool way to get in some good training.  Good idea.  Congrats on getting off to a great start. Scott

Thanks for the encouragement! Day 3 completed.  I have now completed 6.4 miles of the 26.3  running.  36 lengths of the 160 in the pool.   And 80 miles of the 115 miles biking.   Running and spinning are a breeze but the swimming for me is really brutal and boring.  Need to figure out a way to pass the time when the arms are churning.

Well the first week is complete...  I have now completed 11 miles of the 26.3  running.  66 lengths of the 160 in the pool.   And 100 miles of the 115 miles biking.   I spent an extra hour in the pool today after my spinning class and was able to get in 30 lengths.  Might finish this thing up early if I can keep up the pool work. Once this event finishes I'm scheduled to ride a two-person charity spin relay for 4 hours in Feb.  DE Rob
