Swim Bike Run Challenge 2011

Hi 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
