I found this really interesting, but I'm not sure if this would fit in the Training forum, or running, or multi-sport racing, so I figured maybe here.

hmmmmmm..... This gives me an idea. Maybe I'll not take any classes this summer and just run for a couple months.

4300 miles. I'd be lucky to get that many miles in 2 years let alone 111 days.
