3.8k SWIM: 180k BIKE : 42.2k RUN

You won’t need  to do it all in one day or all by yourself, but that’s our challenge for late August 2021.  It’s up to you whether this challenge sees you join up with friends to log miles; achieve your biggest ever week of activity; complete three amazing endurance workouts in a week or endure one crazy day you’ll remember forever.

Record one workout and you’re already entered to win, but you can earn more entries with each discipline you submit, combining workouts with transitions and by completing the Iron-distance for each discipline.  Here’s how the scoring will work:

3.8k of swimming = 300 points
180k of biking = 300 points
42k of running = 300 points
Brick transition (bike to run) = 50 points*
Swim transition (any type) = 50 points*

If you’re following along, that means doing a 3.8k swim, 180k bike and 42k run all as one workout (2 transitions) means you’d earn 1000 points, but that’s a long, hard day and there are plenty of other options to score points.

In example two, if you ride 60k, that’s 1/3 of 180k, so you’ve earned 100 points.  Running 7k earns you 50 points, because that’s 1/6 of 42k.  We’ll also offer two options (* each can only be earned once) to score transition points – 50 points for connecting a bike and run to a brick workout and another 50 points for any workout-double-up that includes a swim.  However you do it, every effort scores some points for you or your team.

As mentioned above, you’ll get a bonus entry for every discipline you complete.  Challengers completing the full distance for all three events earn an additional three entries, but probably not a belt buckle unless this really takes off.  And if you keep going, you’ll still earn more points and entries – the fun never stops!

So how do you record workouts?

We’ve prepared a Google Form, which seemed the easiest way for everyone to log workouts.  On Monday, after our first weekend of workouts, we’ll share updates so you can see where your team or individual efforts have you on the board, and we’ll work to provide daily updates after that so you can track your progress and challenge your friends.
