Subject: August "Welcome Messages" and Log Inspires Challenge
Marm gave us all an assignment in his thread - http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp... - to welcome newbies and to send log inspires. I want to expand on this by creating a challenge for August.

My goal. Welcome 2 new people a week, and send 5 inspires per week to people I have never sent inspires before.

So, who's up to my challenge?

Thanks for playing Julee!

Post your info on here weekly, by the end of Friday (11:59PM), and I'll keep the spreadsheet current.

This is such an awesome idea.  I joined last Oct and I can honestly say that it's because of the "warm welcome" that I got from so many of you that I stuck around as I am one who gains a lot of motivation from others!  Needless to say, I'm in...2 newbies/5 inspires (yea, I'm a copy cat also) .

So if I play do I have to send inspires to someone different than the other players?  I am mostly thinking about welcoming new members, since I think we will all be checking the same threads....  I would welcome this challenge as a fun way to pay forward the welcome that I received when I joined in September.

The inspires can go towards anyone you have never sent an inspire to before.

Well I'm not in this challenge but a new route popped up on my user information, so I went and checked it out.  There's a newbie living not far from me, so I sent an inspire.  Does that count?

This is a great idea, I went months without an inspire and my motivation dropped like a rock....  I'm in for short version 1 welcome and 2 inspires.

Wow, that was exceedingly difficult. Much more so than I expected!

Welcoming two new people was super-easy, but then picking five random strangers to inspire was a lot harder than I thought! I wanted to pick people who didn't already have a ton of inspires, but also found it hard to inspire people without them thinking I was a psycho stalker or something. I think I might just start inspiring the first five new people I see every week and be done with it!

I agree...welcoming is easy...inspiring without cause feels a little weird. Oh Well!!!

I was worried about appearing like a cyberstalker too.  I choose to inspire people who were on the race thread for an upcoming event I am also in.  I tried to choose folks who mentioned it was their first race or only had a few posts so appeared to be new.  Hopefully no restraining orders will be issued.

So far this week: 2 newbie thread welcomes and 3 inspires.

I have to agree Bill that I always think it's cool when I get a random inspire...I always wonder how they "found" me!   Anyway, I haven't been keeping count but I've found myself welcoming a at least one person a day and same with inspires.  I like to do the same as you all and find someone who doesn't have any (or very few) inspires!

Well, it's a crazy month, but I'll play when I can.

Today's checklist:

1 welcome on the Introduce Yourself forum
1 random inspires (BT Blogger - Show Newest Members)

I just found this can I join for the rest of the month? I post welcomes when I can, but I'll pop in on a few for an inspire too.
