Completely. Totally bonkers. Whacko! Yup, that's me!
I have signed up for a triathalon. Not a real one, mind you, I'm nowhere NEAR that level. But it's a thing at my gym, as part of the Biggest Loser Challenge. We have to cycle 15 miles, walk 8 miles on the treadmill, and swim 50 laps in the pool. We have a week to do it all, but each segment has to be done in ONE DAY! OK, the 15 mile ride is what I do in a normal 1 hour cycle class, so that's no problem. 8 miles on the treadmill is gonna kill my knees, and take me about 3 hours. I am allowed to do some on the elliptical instead, but that will only slow me down.
The biggest issue for me is the swimming. 50 laps? I haven't done that since college, when I did a swim-a-thon. It nearly killed me then (of course, I was nearly 100 pounds heavier at the time, but still...) It will probably take me most of a day to do it.
And on top of this fiasco, I still have to take 3 classes AND do 2 hours of personal training that same week! Well, if nothing else, it ought to boost my weight loss that week to record numbers.
Ay, yi yi, the things we'll do for $1000.
