New MWR Fitness Challenge

Anyone want to joing me for Morale, Welfare and Recreation's (MWR) next diabolical fitness challenge? In August, we had to swim the English Channel in 45 days. Guess what they have in store for us now? A full triatholon....but we do get 45 days. There's no way I could do one in 1 day, but 45 days....I've got a chance!

Who wants to try this one with me? Here are the parameters for the challenge.

Rules of Competition:

Each competitor may take up to 6 weeks to complete a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run.

• Competitors may use a swimmingpool to complete the 2.4 mile swim. A total of 90 laps must be completed (down and back is considered 1 lap at our pool / 50m).
  

• For the 112 mile bike ride, competitors may ride a Stationary Recumbent or Upright Bike (or a Spin Bike if it has an odometer affixed to it), a checkout bike from the MWR Services Warehouse (building 129, located behind the Zone 1 Track) or a personal bike. If competitors ride a bicycle, they must complete 35 laps of the 5k run course.



• Competitors may run the 26.2 miles on a Treadmill, a Cross-trainer/Elliptical machine, or they may run outdoors on the track or the 5k run course.

The competition will end on 15 Dec 09. All competitors must have completed the 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and the 26.2 mile run by this date. (We have to have a goal!)
