Swim Bike Run Challenge 2011
-
31-12-2010 6:55pm#1Hi All,
Welcome to the Swim, Cycle, Run (SCR) Challenge 2011
This challenge operates similar to the 1000 mile thread but you log your swimming meters, cycling kms and running kms for the whole year. You can do one or all three its up to you. Your overall ranking on the challenge depends on how few points you have. For example 1st place on the run table = 1pt, 2nd = 2pts and so on. Your rank is derived from your total for the 3 disciplines. If you only run and cycle, the max swim rank +1 will be added to your score. So if there are 20 on the challenge and you are 1st on the run and 10th on the bike but do not swim. Your total is 32. 1 (run) +10 (cycle) +21 (swim). I hope that makes sense.
Anyway it worked in 2010. With the numbers of boardsies stepping up to the HIM distance and gunning for Galway 70.3 it could make for an interesting challenge this year. I'm sure there are plenty there who aspire to do their first duathlon or triathlon and are more than welcome What surprised me about the 2010 challenge was that I expected IMers to dominate it. However while they put in lots of distance training up to their chosen IM, it seems to drop dramatically after that. This is why I think the Galway 70.3 lot will be interesting. It’s a long season up to that event!
So without further ado I present the 2011 challenge template for the eager beavers to kick off early tomorrow morning or tonight if they are on a more eastern longitude.
We will sort out the table posting confusion and the undoubted lost posts syndrome earlier this year as some of the regulars have become quite savvy at tidying things up (many thanks for that by the way). Just remove the quote tags at either end... You will get the jist after a while
I will post the final 2010 update this weekend along with some interesting facts. The targets are provisional until the update is digested but will more than likely remain as is for 2011.
Commence posting on Jan 01 2011.
Best of luck

Well done Jackyback, first to post in all 3 disciplines
This challenge could look a bit scary as is for rookies or others aiming for SP or OLY distances! However I'd like to reiterate that all are welcome. At the end of the 2010 Challenge Final there was a (SP) in the top 10 and as many (OLY) as there were (HIM)s and (IM)s! 0 -

What IM are you doing? A 200km cycle is some way to kick off the new year! I thought cunavalos had changed his pseudonym 0 -

Im training for one at least, but we'll see closer to the date.
The 200k update was split over two days - just shy of the century one day and just over the next. Glad to hear you're in one piece after the incident you had. Saw plenty of road rage over the two spins - always the same around this time of year in my experiences.0 -

what kind of diet are you following, i heard the ironman diets are savage in terms of calories?
Im definitely not the best person on here to answer this or actually most IM or HIM related questions as I tend to do what works for me rather than any general diet guide. For example, I tend to reduce and then cut red meat from my diet when training with any consistency. The one advice I would give is when and where possible cook and consume your own food before a big race
I was about to re-direct you to a previous thread up here for 2011 IM and another for 2011 HIM related discussions - but cant put my hands on them quickly - which would be a better place to post your very valid question.0 -

One question - how do you count your turbo mileage?
This question popped up as well last year. If you don't have a flow or something similar to give you a reading then take your rolling avg on the road and do a good honest average estimate.0 -

Picking up a few newbies Shotgun this year, Jacky and Paky (are they travellers)
Might I suggest changing the title from SCR challenge 2011 which is a bit mysterious to something more instantly recognizable like Triathlon Challenge 2011 etc0 -
