Expert 1068 , District of Columbia | Subject: RE: November challenge? I've been looking at this forum the last few days with the hope of finding something interesting. I'm in for a challenge. If it turns out to be a total distance one, I'm going for 400 miles. To hit my goal, I'm going further in all 3 sports this month than I did last month. That's the challenge I set for myself: increase all 3 distances so they beat my October numbers. And I would love a 'virtual' run. Could be neat to know that when I'm out for a run, some of you are running at that same time, too. |

Expert 1059 Lakeville, MN | Subject: RE: November challenge? Was thinking about this more last night, and if this is the one we go with, I would reccomend seperating swim distance from Run/Bike - i.e. I will commit to 300 miles Run/Bike, and 10k in the pool for Nov - otherwise, swimming will most likely get lost |

Expert 1059 Lakeville, MN | Subject: RE: November challenge? Since I proposed it, I think it would be only fair if I was the spreadhseet maker. I will be breaking out the disciplines, so when we post our commitments, please post as: User Name Swim - XX,XXX Yards Bike - XXX Miles Run - XXX Miles Total - Total Miles/Total Yards Benihana Swim - 10,000 Yards Bike - 200 Miles Run - 75 Miles Total - 300/10k Edited by benihana 2013-11-01 9:16 AM |

| Subject: RE: November challenge? Hmmm, let me think about it. I will probably be on the trainer a lot and I don't have anything currently set up to track distance while I'm on the trainer. I have a Garmin 305 with a cadence monitor and antenna stick but it is not installed on any of my bikes right now and I'm not greatest with tech stuff! |

Expert 1059 Lakeville, MN | Subject: RE: November challenge? They may....BUT - This is definately NOT meant to be an "I am better than you/I train more than you" challege, simply more a goal/strech goal for each of us to keep on track during November |

I usually use November as a run only month since I have a marathon coming up on Dec 7. So can I only committ to run miles in this challenge? I have never done a BT challenge before, but I need something to keep me accountable! |

That way everyone is equalized by aiming for what they think they can do in a month. |

| Subject: RE: November challenge? Originally posted by deehtz Oh my, my numbers are going to look so wimpy...... That is what I think every time I open one of those post your totals for the month in TriTalk. I never post anything! But here all I'm working on is consistency and we're all in this to help each other so no worries! |

| Subject: RE: November challenge? Originally posted by benihana just devide your time by your anticipated MPH....I think close enough is fine for this challenge Ok, sounds good. And I will still try to install my cadence monitor cuz it's silly to have it sitting on the shelf. Maybe I can add in the time it takes me to try to install that dang contraption and get some really good bike numbers |

If we can do total time, that would help. Then I could count my after surgery PT and hobbles..... in the "run" time and do miles for bike and swim. Any thoughts? |

If that is easier for you to track, I am sure we can figure something out for tracking. Just post what your goals are in the other thread and I will add you to the tracking sheet |
