What? Why? How? (sticky)

Hello and welcome,

Thanks for dropping by. I set this site up to track my progress towards the completion of my 2012 challenge. I'm aiming to travel 2,012km in 20.12 (appx) weeks in the gym or on the road. You can sign up yourself (or find out more) at this website.

Early on in the process I realised that the distance I would be covering would get me from Bristol, UK - where I live - to the outskirts of Rome, Italy. So I've been tracking my route along the way following this map.

I hope to raise a bit of money for Habitat for Humanity in the course of this - there's a justgiving page for that purpose. There is no obligation on anyone to donate - for me this is more about the process.

Going the distance.

Today was all about distance.

I now know I can do 20k on a bike, followed by 5k on my feet (albeit cross trainer). The rest is about time.

The importance of this, if you weren't already aware, is that these are the distances for a sprint triathlon - which is 750m / 20k / 5k.

I've updated the spreadsheet and it looks like 20(.12) weeks is doable for the challenge. I'll make that weeks in the country as we'll be hitting the slopes at some point.
