Indoor Ironman

That's a really cool idea. Get to them before they start hibernating!

Good luck

What a cool idea! Let us know how it goes and good luck!

I love that idea! What a great way to encouage everyone to get moving through the dreaded Thanksgiving holiday!!

When I read the title, tho, I just imagined doing an IM indoors and thought "NEVER!"


It's bad enough outdoors when you're moving. Can't imagine 112 on a stationary bike or a marathon on the treadmill (now the swim- I can imagine that as I've done that in a pool before).

Neat idea!

(though I'm with TriGirl - the idea of running 26.2 miles on a treadmill gives new meaning to the words 'dread'mill )

Yeah, the idea of doing the whole thing inside all together just seems dreadful!

But, over 10 days that's only 2.6 miles per day on the dreadmill. The swim I'm not worried about. The bike will be super boring. But, I'm going to do it.

I thought it was a really cool idea.

Update:

Well, I thought I would be doing this after Thanksgiving, but the dates changed around a bit so I started on Saturday.

Day 1 I did 36 laps in the pool (1800 yards), 12 miles on the most horrible stationary bike ever, and 5.5 miles running/walking on the dreadmill.

Day 2 I did 24 miles on the torture cycle and 5.3 miles mostly walking with a little running on the dreadmill.

I'm off to a decent start!

Glad to hear it's going well!!! Good job!

Way to go! You are going to knock out that swim fast!!!
