Chanticleers Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge)

Glad I saw the thread...I was about to get one started!

I'm upping my miles trying desperately to complete my August Challenge.  25 was the run goal for August - I'm at just above 9.  It's been a tough month.

I'm in for 30!  

Running is my weakest & I HAVE to crank it up.  Tri on October 5.

Hi teammates! 

My name's Todd and I'm a new member around here.  Started training around mid-June and have my first tri coming up in a little over a week (Aug 30th).   My goal for the challenge is 40 miles.

The University website describes a Chanticleer:

Chanticleer comes from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. More specifically, he comes from the Nun's Priest Tale, a story within Canterbury Tales. The Chanticleer is a proud and fierce rooster who dominates the barnyard.

So, we're big chickens...   

dancing chickens???

Dominating the barnyard sounds much better than being a dancing chicken

Beg, bribe, or coerce someone to be your team captain.

Let me know who it is.

Thanks!

Here's a team table:

I vote you in as team captain (since you created the table!)

Hey, can you send the html code for the table so I can post it on my log?

Thanks! 

I thought I had posted an HTML table for the logs last night.  Maybe it got removed by a mod or it didn't save.  Reposting to try again.

 I'll second that nomination. 

I really like that one!  I got lazy when I made mine today.  I'm using yours instead.  

Yeah!  Fun!! 

So, the table is on my other computer.  If you want it now, the easiest way to get it is to:

1. Quote the message with the table.

2. Check the 'disable HTML' button.

3. Click 'preview'.

4. Copy the HTML table and put in your log.

5. Click 'apply'.

6. Sometimes, I have to go back in and click apply again to make the table look like a table instead of HTML code.

If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to send you the code later.

1 more week!  Everyone getting ready? 

I'm gearing up.  I'm back in the running mode! Not tons of mileage, but trying to get in at least 9/week to meet my 30 miles.  I know it's not a lot, but that'll be my biggest month yet & since I'm getting ready for my 1st Sprint in October, I've got to make sure I keep up the bike & swim.

Anyone have any specific strategies to keep on track during the month?

My #1 & #2:  1 - Eat & hydrate - tend to forget to eat & then am too tired to train 

                      2 - Sleep - staying up late = sleeping in & missing work-outs

Main goal - take good care of me so I can beat the streets!
