10,000 km challenge

Our buddy William, nicknamed the "Iron Ox" because he's a rather large dude who likes ironman-distance events, is a cycling/triathlon coach.

While looking for a way to keep his athletes who train year-round motivated, he came up with a unique challenge.

The goal: log 10,000 km in one year, with any combination of cycling, swimming, running, or rowing. That's 6,214 miles.

This isn't just for super-speedy athletes though. Are you a serious bike commuter? Challenge yourself to put 6,214 fewer miles on the odometer of your car this year!

I just mailed in my entry form... who's with me? I've got entry forms here at the shop, or you can email the ox for more info. Or read his blog.
