Triathlon Challenge

Well, I can't say that I completed the Triathlon Challenge, but I really feel good about what I did.  Here's a breakdown of my progress:

Days 1-11:  Swam 0.3 miles, biked 43.6 miles, walked 7.9 miles.  (A 15-mile bike ride was cancelled due to David being sick.)
Days 12-24:  Sick, but still managed to walk 6.9 miles.  (Campus is pretty large, and I had to be there for a few things, despite being sick.)
Day 25:  Feeling good.  Swam 0.8 miles, biked 6.5 miles.  (Okay, let's be honest, I didn't swim 0.8 miles.  But, according to the rules, attending a 1-hour water aerobics class counts towards 0.8 miles of the swim.  And I did.)
Days 26-27:  Rain.  I probably walked about half a mile.
Day 28:  Biked 12.8 miles!
Days 29-30:  Maybe I overdid it; feeling sick again.

Total: Swam 1.1 miles, biked 62.9 miles, walked 14.8 miles.  That's almost half of the swimming, over half of the biking, and over half of the walking.  Given that I was only feeling well for half of the month, I'd say I did great.

  1. I think that sounds awesome. October is probably not the best time for a work out program since with the weather changing people tend to get sick. Maybe you guys can try again in the spring.

  2. I think you are suppose to feel sick after competing. Congratulations on getting out more.

    You should have made your husband complete the rest for you since you were sick. :)
