My MV might actually get back to seeing tri service instead if just bike rides. I'm training for a Marathon in November. I swim some, but not that much. The gym I go to has challenges each month. Sign up, complete the challenge and get a t-shirt. This months challenge is the James River Swim Challenge. Do 15 miles in September to complete the challenge. 3 miles max a day. I signed up. I am trying to average 4 miles a week for that shirt. It is something to do. I look at the tris in the area and think "meh." For some reason I haven't figured out yet, I don't like combining all 3 into 1 event. It becomes, "this sucks" instead of "this is awesome." We shall see.
