So that's what the fitness center here is calling it. You've got how many ever days to finish an Ironman on your own. It's going to be sometime in February.
2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike and a 26.2-mile run.
So what do you think would be a reasonable challenge to go for? I'm thinking somewhere like 4 days  What would you shoot for?

When I worked at my school's Rec/Fitness center while in college, we did this very thing. I can't remember what we called it.
I wasn't active back then, but I recall a few of the more dedicated students complete the task in 2 or 3 days.

I agree with PH and MB. But, you should look at your peak milage to get a goal for yourself.

How much have you been swimming? That's probably going to be your biggest challenge, yes? This sounds COOL!

Show offs!! 
My swimming has been nada. I should start... tomorrow. I like the way PH's plan looks. I'm hoping to be in 50s/mpw territory by then in prep for a spring marathon.
