Team Crazy 8's

Yep, I'm doing good too... looking good so far!

Us Crazy 8's are the best! 

Hey!  I'm in the same boat as you (not the Ironman boat - the taking a week off boat) I'm on vacation the last week of July, so planning on getting all my stuff done before then.

Your goals shouldn't be a problem then, since you can add in all that race mileage

Max,
 you're an animal!!  I felt pretty good to get what I got, but you're a superstar!  Will you be my coach??  Seriously, awesome job so far, you're going to do great at the IM.

I looked at everyone's logs and they were all in metric! Is this because my log is set to metric or is everyone logging on in metric? If the latter, then I can revise the goals to reflect that; this would make my task easier as I would not have to do the convertions.

Machiavello,

Tootall will be joining your team.

I will need a final tally of everyone's goals (PM them to me). It's easier for me to read single PM's from each Captain instead of hunting for goals (some scattered through a thread) in all 10 threads. THANKS!

Hello all, I was assigned to you guys.  (What have I done??)  I am just getting going - I did the Danskin sprint in May and have been sitting on my butt till yesterday when I did the Peachtree Road Race 10K.  I need some motivation to get back training so I signed up for this challenge.  However, my times/distances aren't anything close to what you guys are doing.  Is this ok?  Also, do I need to put distance or will time suffice? Thanks.

Welcome to the Crazy 8's. It is my understanding that  all challenge participants are setting goals in the increments they feel most comfortable, i.e. time or distance. Since you are "challenging" yourself to meet standards, nothing is too small or insignificant. Every mile or minute achieved benefits you in your training.....and will put the Crazy 8's that much closer to team victory. 

Captain Michel.....will you please get a final ruling from the captain's enclave on the trainer miles/minutes for bike? Weather may force me to do some training indoors. My area has one tropical storm coming within the next 24 hours and another with strong potential is lurking just days away. LOTS of rain is in the forecast.

Hey Team, Renee will be wanting reports on our progress by 5pm each Monday.  Therefore, I would ask each team member to send me their totals by 4pm that date. 

Gina, what is specifically that you want to know?  You can train either in miles or in minutes, whichever you prefer.  Or is it the value of cycling on a trainer that you want to know about.

Michel

There was talk on one thread about disallowing trainer use. I don't plan to use my trainer but weather might force the issue. I have a computer on-board so I can get an good reading. I am actually much more efficient outdoors in terms of speed and would prefer to be outside. Just don't want to lose valuable time with uncooperative weather.

I think it's cause you've set your preferences to metric.  I see my own stuff as yards and miles.
