An Ironman Triathalon a month

So i stole this from another board. I think it would be neat for whomever wants to try, to complete an ironman triathalon each month.

Swim - 4200 Yards (approx 2.3 miles)
Bike - 112 miles (indoor or outdoor)
Run - 26.2 miles (treadmill, road, elliptical)

I figured I can do it if I break it up small enough. I'm going to try at least.

Mon - 2 miles run
Tues - 550 yard swim, 2 miles run
Wed - strength training class, 14 miles bike
Thurs - 500 yard swim, 2 miles elliptical
Fri - strength train class, 14 miles bike

and twice in the month add on an extra mile of running.

I know there is a good chance I will fail the first few months, but eventually I'll get it. Who's with me?

i talked with a nurse who works with me who has trained for marathons and she suggested that i add one more exercise at a time, so i'm going to only add swimming right now., and if i bike, it will sub for one of my three days of elliptical/treadmill

mon - elliptical
tues - ellip and swim
wed - strength training
thurs - ellip and swim
friday - strength training.

ill keep that for a few weeks and see how i do. i know i can do 550 yards at a time. or rather, i would be very surprised if i couldnt. i was on the swim team in high school adn have off and on used swimming as my primary exercise. my muscles will remember it quickly.

12 marathons a year wouldn't be recommended would it? And then with all that other stuff before it...
Or is that only for top athletes who actually want to be really good at them?

people run 26 mile weeks all the time, which means four marathons a month. for general fitness. im reducing the amount of running but expanding other forms of fitness. look at the daily amounts of exercise; it's not that much really.

i think this would be a great challenge for alot of people, and others might think this paltry, like im sure MFC can do this with his eyes closed yawning.

I know that people clock up loads of miles, I just wasn't sure about competing so many times. I guess it's only if you want to run super fast times every time that you should limit how often you run marathons/enter ironmans [sic?]
