Hello everyone! Just checking in to report on my BFitBDay.com Silver Challenge for my 40th birthday! I originally was to do the gold challenge, but as I have a half-ironman in a week, I decided to do the silver challenge for the sake of my now forty-year-old body! My photos are on my website: http://kellymay.hi5.com
I really enjoyed myself and the challenge was a very useful one, this close to my next race! My challenge worked out to roughly 2150km swimming, 23km biking, and 5.3km running everyday for 3 days. As I live in Mexico, my brain just works better with the km distances! I enjoyed the swimming the most, as it was longer than I usually swim and to do that 3 days in a row, I felt a dramatic improvement in my confidence and endurance! (Plus, I did a 6.5km open-water swim last fall, and had missed the feeling of being in the water that long, and the physical fitness boost that long-distance swimming provides!)
The bike was actually somewhat of a break, as I have been training longer hours/distances, but as a birthday present, I received a aero-helmet, so that was immensely satisfying, cruising around, feeling like a rocket! The best part about the run, was that I did it as a brick all 3 days, following the bike, and it just felt good to do those 5.3kms after a light bike. Looking forward to my half ironman and a full ironman in November. 40 feels pretty good! Thanks BFitBday for a fun challenge and Good Luck to all my fellow triathletes out there! Kelly :)
