This year FAST is adding to its annual challenge. For this upcomming year, FAST wants its members to challenge their biking distances. Miles must be biked between January 1st, 2010 and December 31st, 2010. Turn in total miles to bike@swimfasttrifast.com by the end of December.
| Distance | Award Level |
|---|---|
| 1,500 miles | Copper Award |
| 2,000 miles | Bronze Award |
| 3,000 miles | Silver Award |
| 5,000 miles | Gold Award |
| 8,000 miles | Platnum Award |
To give you some idea of how much biking this is, Jaret Johnson, our VP of Biking has given the following estimates:
- Copper and Bronze would be for someone biking between 75 to 100 miles per week during the summer.
- Silver would be for someone biking consistently 100 miles per week during the summer in addition to spring training. Ideal bike volume for a beginner level Half Ironman athlete.
- Gold would be the level that a serious Half Ironman triathlete or a committed Ironman triathlete would train at.
- Platinum would be the level that a serious to top level Half Ironman and Ironman triathlete would train at.
