Nothing like a cold chocolate milk after a hundred mile bike ride ... or say a 20 mile swim.  

20 miles? That's crazy talk. The most I ever swam non-stop was 3.2 miles. The most in a day was 10.

I was just testing you.  My sense is 100 mi bike ride about equivalent to 15 mi run and 3 mi swim.  Although pretty sure I could never swim 3 mi.

I had to swim a mile once for a life saving merit badge in a lake in Wisconsin.    Unpleasant ha.  At least I was in wrestling shape so it wasn’t super bad.

I always thought I'd do a tri event, most of my running friends did, figured the swim would be the hard training.  Glad swim was first then if I drowned wouldn't have to do the bike run.  However, had to give up running due to knee and switched to cycling so never did the a tri or swim training.

I never wanted to do a tri.  Used to run 10k’s but stopped.   I wanted to do a marathon when I started my new job ~8 years ago… but couldn’t convince a co worker to do it with me so I punted.   I wonder how hard it is to train for a marathon?   My ankles and knees aren’t in terrible shape ha….  Google says about 30-60 miles per week spread over 5 days for training.  
 

I have a buddy that does ultras 100 miles etc and the horror stories of chafing and pooping didn’t sound pleasant.

Training for a marathon is fun.  It's just a bunch of long runs with friends.

I guess I'll be missing out on all the fun.
