Pro  6582     Melbourne FL Gold member |  Subject: September - Swim and Bike challenge for Fall Tri'sSEPTEMBER Swim & Bike Challenge East vs Central vs West teams (and maybe a ROW [Rest of World] team) Rules / Guidelines This is a challenge to promote the attainment of a specific swim / bike goal, i.e get better, faster, stronger!
Determining Winning The Team Calculations will be a combination of & of team members who reached their goal + final percentage of aggregate team goal attainment. In this way, both individual goal attainment and team effort carry weight and it also levels the playing field for teams with fewer team members. It will work like this:
You will get a "trophy"!
Terms for Losing Teams Losing team members just get nothing but a better bod! Other not so legal binding stuff:
The ultimate goal is for you to meet your goal and improve your swimming and Biking skills. Let' shave some fun and improve our bod's for health and any races you may have upcoming! |

Right now I'm using Central and Mountain time zones as "Central", that may change to just Central and move Mountain TZ over with the West TZ depending on how many signup. |

Master 1748 Port Moody, BC | Subject: RE: September - Swim and Bike challenge for Fall Tri's Yo, yo, yo!!! Representin' da WEEEEEEEST SIIIIIIIIDE BOOOOOYYYYYYYY YEAH!!!!!!!!! Hazmaster - Bike = 31,678,000 inches (500 miles) - Swim = 1,900,000 CM (19,000 Meters) I like the larger numbers in smaller units, it makes me look even more hard core! Let's get serious West Coast and show the East Coast why they're not allowed amongst the good looking people!

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: September - Swim and Bike challenge for Fall Tri's Donto - 2007-08-30 11:40 AM BLOGS; Participants must blog their swim and Bike training and have their blogs public. If it’s not blogged, it didn’t happen for the purpose of this Challenge. CAUTION: NEWBIE ALERT! Well gee. I just figured out how to access my blog. (I've been using the training log calendar. But I just figured out that it's connected to the blog. Who knew....  ) Anyway.... EAST TEAM! (I'm in North Carolina.) Swim: 23,000 yards. (I'll try!) Bike: 175 miles. (All on a stationary bike. Here's to hoping that my knee holds up.) Now, you mentioned smack talking, so here goes: EAST TEAM RULES! WEST TEAM DROOLS! (Yeah, my smack talk is lame. And I'll probably pay for that comment later, too.) Dee Edited by D001 2007-08-30 5:11 PM |

| Subject: RE: September - Swim and Bike challenge for Fall Tri's Ok 1st victim for the rest of the world team ... September's goals are 250 miles on the bike and 20 000 metres in the water, that should keep me out of mischief! Starting Sunday with an olympic distance race and swimming in the sea, brrrr! (quick edit, is the blog the same thing as the training log, and can anyone see mine? or should I be instantly disqualified for asking stupid questions?) Edited by DWellington 2007-08-31 5:09 AM |

Member 22 Menomonee Falls, WI | Subject: RE: September - Swim and Bike challenge for Fall Tri's This is perfect timing for me, as I am starting to follow a plan starting tomorrow. I'm in Central (Wisconsin), and going to do time for the bike, since that is how my plan breaks it down: Swim: 20,000 yards Bike: 13 hours |

I'm a newbie, and so far no one has disqualified me. So you're probably ok too. I found the blog by accident. Go to your training log calendar and click on a day. On that screen, you'll see "Save and return to:" followed by a list of choices. Click Blog. I think that's what they're going to look at. When you complete the Training Log (via the calendar), it automatically fills out the blog for you. Dee Edited by D001 2007-09-01 11:50 AM |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: September - Swim and Bike challenge for Fall Tri's This being a Holiday weekend, the only day I can swim is today (Saturday). The pool is closed tomorrow and Monday. So I got in the pool, HOPING to do 1000 yards. And while I swam, I thought about this Challenge. And I said to myself, "I'd better swim HARD today, or I may not hit my goal." End result: 1500 yards total. Woohoo! This Challenge rocks! I've logged the swim on my calendar. It looks very nice there on my blog. I may be sore tonight and tomorrow, but since the pool is closed until Tuesday, no biggie. Dee |

Hey, great for you! Good job. Oh wait, you are out east. Nice job anyway, but maybe you should focus on the run this month |

Member 22 Menomonee Falls, WI | Subject: RE: September - Swim and Bike challenge for Fall Tri's NEWB ALERT!!1 Well, I got off to a bad start. Went to the Y's web page to verify hours, and lap swim times. Went over to the Y, and they were closed. Apparently, nobody had updated the web page since last December, and they are currently on Summer hours. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day. |

It depends whether you're on my team or not. That said, at least tomorrow is a new day for you. I can't get in the water again until Tuesday at the earliest. *sigh* I'll have forgotten how to swim by then. Dee |
