Triathalon
Hi. Sooo... I was wondering if anybody actually wanted to try this out again? I know the last one was well over a year ago...
I guess I should tell people what they'd be getting into this time. Basically how the first one went was that you needed to sign up for three events. They needed to be completed in order (all your running miles before your biking miles, etc...). For the second one, to make it a little less challenging for folks, you could complete miles at the same time (for example, if you went running monday, biking tuesday, running wed, etc you could count all the miles towards that activity). We still kept with needing to have 3 different events (unless you had a good reason, then you could have 2).
Which brings me to the current situation. I'd like to have something that's a little more challenging than just a mileage challenge, or abs challenge, or exercise challenge... While I definitely think that a triathalon should have 3 separate exercises, even I am faced with the fact that I do not belong to a gym anymore, and am scared of moving bicycles (horrific childhood accident, it's not that creepy)... so what I'm proposing is this for the events:
running (treadmill/outside/skipping/hopping/jumping/cartwheeling/etc) - 30 miles
elliptical - 30 miles
swimming - 10 miles
rowing - 30 miles
stairclimber - 25 miles
bicycle - 100 miles
crunches - 2000
weights - 20 hours
It would still be a 6 week period of time, events could be completed simultaneously.
Please let me know if you'd be interested in this type of torture.
