#GoTheCoviDistance Triathlon
Tax deductible
Want to join me in making a difference for families impacted by cancer? I'm raising money to benefit Joe Andruzzi Foundation , and your donation will help make an impact for these families in this turbulent time.
Welcome to the CoviDistance Triathlon! A fundraiser for the Joe Andruzzi Foundation, which provides assistance to families in financial hardship due to a cancer diagnosis. This CoviDistancing-compliant triathlon is an ultra-short distance: 240 meter swim, 6 mile bike ride, and 1 mile run. While comparable to a teenager triathlon, the CoviDistance triathlon is perfect for the “Big Fat Guy” (hint: offensive linemen) on the couch to strive for.
About the CoviDistanceTri
On Saturday, April 25th, at 10 am Eastern, I’ll be “competing” in this triathlon! Sponsor me! I’m blessed to have all the equipment I need: a pool, a Peloton Bike, and a Peloton Tread. The course layout, with estimated times, below. This will be livestreamed on Twitch.
09:50 - 10:00: Pre-triathlon pep talk from Fitzy!
10:00 - 10:09 : 12 laps of a 10 meter pool.
10:09 - 10:14 : Location change to the bike.
10:14 - 10:32 : 6 mi bike (Peloton Scenic Ride, Olympic National Park, Resistance 45)
10:32 - 10:35 : Equipment change to the treadmill
10:35 - 10:46 : 1 mile run (Peloton Scenic Run, Sliding Sands Trail, 0% incline)
10:46 - 11:00 : Finish line celebration with local Team JAF representative (by proxy, probably just my family)
Have a Peloton? Feel free to ride/run along with me; I'm csoandy on Peloton. #GoTheCoviDistance

More information about Joe Andruzzi Foundation: The Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF) is a registered 501(C)(3) non-profit organization committed to providing help, hope, and a reason to smile, for New England cancer patients and their families by contributing financial support when it is needed most.
About Me
I'm not what you'd consider a serious athlete: I have asthma, and I'm often more likely to injure myself (I've had tears in my Achilles (running), rotator cuff (swimming), and ulnar collateral ligament (basketball), and broken my toe (karate) and elbow (cycling)) when I start exercising than anything else. My greatest athletic claim to fame is having a pass intercepted by Tom Brady (really!). I've never been in a triathlon.
But my wife grew up watching the Boston Marathon from the sidelines, and it isn't happening this year. So I'm going to do my first ever tiny triathlon, so she has a charity runner/swimmer/cyclist to cheer on, and you can support this couch potato's exercise while making a difference in the lives of cancer patients in financial hardship!
