EVERYONE is welcome (yes, YOU!)

For this challenge, you can swim and/or bike (including trainer, stationary, paddle-boat, etc.)

To determine which team you're on, divide your (pick one) globe, country, state/province, or city in half lengthwise. Are you on the north or south? That's your team.

I haven't decided if the losing team will have to change their avatars, but it sounds like a good idea.

To participate:

Sign up on the following spreadsheet (my name is first under South as an example):

Light challenge numbers for me. I am still taking care of the shoulder so it will be teeny tiny swim sessions (at least 30 minutes each session though) and easy flat ride or trainer sessions for the bike. I am trying to keep up with running mostly. Got to be ready for October Laughing

Lengthwise? Wouldn't that give me east/west? Don't I need widthwise to get north/south?

Oh wait, this is Yanti we're talking about. She might be standing on her head right now. (Like Cat is.) Hm. OK, we'll divide it lengthwise.

Wait, what if I'm directly on the equator middle-line? Should I flip a coin?

OK, I'm going to jump in on a challenge for the first time.  This one is perfect for me since my physical therapist said she still doesn't want me running yet.  Good month for bumping up the swim and bike workouts! 

Good to meet everyone.  -Tim (north side of town in northern California in North America...I'm team North!)

Cool I'm in.  haven't done a challenge in what 3-4 years now.

Debated the team deal, but I'm a Northeast boy, living in the northern half of my city that is located in a state in the Southeast US and the southern half of my county, hmm, team North it is.

Oh, what the heck...  I'm in.  Hubby and I are doing a half century this month so I should have some decent bike mileage to report this month.  I hadn't planned on getting in the pool for a while with my last tri of the season over, school starting and the kids soccer season starting too...  but I'll do it for Yanti.  Laughing

But it's going to have to be for the North.  Tongue out

Team south because I'm in the south section of the town I live in.

Going for 13 swim sessions - roughly 3 a week - and 745mins biking - added up all the max mins from the program I'm using for it and that's the time I got,lol.

Team North!!!  I'm in Tokyo which is just about in the middle of Honshu Island, Japan so I'll go with the Northern Hemisphere for my deciding factor.

While I knew the south would rise again, I thought they meant something more than from the bottom of the pool.

I'm in with Team North, just have to wait and see what this months ork schedule will be so I know if I will be able to hit the pool any and how much biking I will be doing before I can set a goal.

Haven't done a monthly challenge for a while so decided to join in.

As for which team....I live in the most northly part of London which is in the south of England, but I'll be spending half the month in NORTHampton. Guess I'll be in team north then
