Hi NATS,
This was e-mailed to me not so long ago. It sounds like a cool
opportunity. I haven't visited the website yet, just passing the
information along. If anyone participates in the activity, maybe
they could post about the experience. Thanks.

The New Tri Club B-Fit B-Day Challenge Hits the ground Running, and
Swimming, and Biking!

Boulder, Colorado February 13, 2008 --- Imagine celebrating your
health, and your fitness on your birthday by swimming, running, and
biking your age. That's exactly what triathlon club athletes are
doing all across America. They are among the very first age-group
athletes to take up the Tri Club B-Fit B-Day Challenge. The athletes
take their age and:

1) Swim the number of miles in the first number
2) Run the number of miles in the second number
3) Bike the number of miles in the combined number

So a 45-year-old athlete would:

1) Swim 4 miles
2) Run 5 miles
3) Bike 45 miles

It took exactly one day from when the Triathlon Club B-Fit B-Day
website (http://www.BFitBDay.com) was launched before a 32-year-old
Colorado athlete celebrating her birthday completed the first Gold
challenge.

Here's what she said about the B-Fit B-Day Challenge when asked how
hard it was:

"Hard? Mostly the scheduling for me because of the kids. The run was
a quick 20 degree snow packed run up and down the bike path. I
decided to break the swim up: I haven't been in the water since Sept
1 and I couldn't schedule a full 2hrs of pool time around kids and
work. Since I don't have a computer on the bike, but I have a good
feel for speed/cadence, I decided 2 hours would cover 16mph=32miles.
I threw in a little extra for good measure. I believe it was the
enormous piece of cake fueling the ride."

She went for the Gold Challenge and set the First Open Challenge Age-
Group Record for a 32-year-old women at:

Swim: 2:13:42
Bike: 2:06:08
Run: 16:23
Total 4:35

"I'm so thrilled that four triathlon club athletes are using the
challenge as way to celebrate their health and fitness on their
birthday," said Roman Mica the founder of the B-Fit B-Day
Challenge. "We really hope that this new challenge will encourage
people to celebrate their birthday in a unique and healthy way...a
special way so they can share their health and happiness with a
community of caring endurance athletes."

The B-Fit B-Day challenge is completely free and open to any
Triathlon club member (no matter what age) who wants to challenge
themselves on their birthday, Mica added.

Mica along with the B-Fit B-Day sponsors have put out three
challenges: Gold, Silver and Bronze to all Triathlon Clubs. To
successfully complete the Challenge athletes must:

Bronze: Do all three (swim/bike/run) during the week of their
Birthday.
Silver: Do all three (swim/bike/run) in the 72 hours (three days)
before, after, or during their Birthday.
Gold: Do all three (swim/bike/run) in 24-hours to celebrate their
Birthday!

Important Note: Since "0" Birthdays like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and so
on are important milestones the "0" represents a 10. This means
that on those "0" Birthdays athletes must celebrate this big
milestone by running ten miles.

The B-Fit B-Day Challenge is a Boulder, Colorado based worldwide
endurance sports challenge made up of age-group athletes. Membership
is free and open to anyone with a passion for endurance sport.
