Team Endless Summer--July Challenge

bumparoonie for the lynda. hee hee.

I'm out this month- but good luck!

OK, Lynda. Count me in. I'll get the totals to you later today or tomorrow.

Have the rules of engagement been sorted out?

Tania - 2005-07-01 10:50 AM But sarah, I know you're going to be doing at least two sports....biking and drinking. Hey, let's start our own RAGBRAI tri challenge team with biking, drinking and eating as our three sports.

There's a t-shirt waiting to happen in there.

Can I join Team Endless Summer?

Swim-15,000

Bike- 150

Run-25

I used to get picked last in gym as a kid because I was so puny, so I'm almost afraid to ask - can I be on your team?

The rules for deturmining your goals it to be relastic.  Don't set them so low you know you wwill shatter them on your first time out in each sport, but do set them so high that you can't do what ever tapper you need to do for an event.

If I count right in this thread you will be number 8 for the endless summer team.

And correct me if  I am wrong, but this challenge it's just MAKE GOAL or NOT MAKE GOAL - no percentages over or under. Or has that been scrapped?

No, I'm number 8 and CindyK's number 7 because TriMom3 didn't commit, she just asked a question!    Gotta do some calculations to come up with my goals.  Can I set my goal in minutes?

I don't know if those things have been ironed out yet by the captains under the watchfull eye of Renee

Tania, rules have not been carved in stone yet. We haven't come up with a formula for calculating who wins. I agree that a new formula should be devised and the Team Captains will each have a say on what the formula should be.

Right now we're at the cat herding stage.

Would you like to join Team 5?

Checkout JULY TRI CHALLENGE CENTRAL for where we stand on rules, etc.

A great team, a great name, and great smack talking potential!  Woo hoo!

I would really prefer not to have to convert my monthly goal to minutes, I don't train that way. I will however defer to what the captains decide in the Great July Challenge Pow Wow.  As it stands now my goals for the month are:

Swimming - 12,500 yards /  Biking - 700 miles /  Running  20 miles

Obviously a bike heavy month again because I have RAGBRAI on the 24-30 of this month (won't be able to post totals until August 1st by the way). But I also have an 8K run on the 4th, a century bike ride on the 9th and a 5K run on the 16th.  So MOTIVATE me teammates - if this month doesn't kill me, it will make me stronger!
