Well...not that a full marathon training schedule was enough...I've joined a group who are doing an Iron Man. That's right a 3.8 km swim, a 42.2 km run/walk and a 180 km bike ride. Now if I did this all in one day....if I didn't collapse, it would take me 18 hours of gut wrenching endurance. Sooooo, hence the name, Iron Turtle. I will have the whole month of July to get this done...that's right...31 days. It's already july 5th and I've got 2km swimming, 55 km biking and 30 km walk/run done!
It took 1 1/2 hours to swim the 2 km....I thought I was going to drown. I've biked the 55 km in 3 different rides...one outside and 2 in the gym. I think this is just enough challenge this month to get me heading in the right direction in my quest for fitness and the marathon.
Happy summer everyone!
