COMING SOON: Epic weekend
James proposed we do the Epic Weekend this past weekend. Coming off the race, and trying to fend off a cold, I declined. He went for it anyway and while he only hit 100 points on Saturday, his totals for Friday and Sunday were both north of 70. I can't remember the exact numbers. I do know the weekend included 130 miles on the bike and 8000y in the pool. Go James!
What is the Epic Weekend?
James got the idea from Gordo's Epic Camps . The idea is you get 4 points for each running mile, 1 point for each biking mile, and 1 point for every 100 meters in the pool. We set an arbitrary goal to accumulate 100 points per day for a weekend (or for the real masochists, try it over a 3-day holiday weekend).
I haven't completed a full Epic Weekend yet, but when looking at the calendar the next couple of months, there are a few that might work. The first is Memorial Day weekend, but Karen's birthday is on Memorial Day, and I'm not sure she'll think that's the best way to celebrate her birthday. The other is the weekend before July 4. That is also the weekend before the last sprint tri. August looks wide open right now, but I don't want to wait that long.
Anyone else up for the challenge?
