Yes! nliedel, we've finally found a home for you. You're on TEAM 8!

Max, maybe this will help alleviate your confusion. (Sorry I can't do anything for your allergies and grogginess, Nancy). I know it's early!

Also, as of now, you may set your goals in minutes, miles, yards, meters, or whatever you normally track them by.

Glad you've both decided to play!

This is you Captain speaking.  I think that we have a very good team indeed.  I will discuss the rules of engagement with the other Captain's to determine what goals we should be setting.  I had in mind to call the team "Team Machiavelo" but I am up let's have some suggestions and vote on it.  I am sure that some of you guys have got some good ideas for a team name, so let's here them.  Tentatively, I have set my goal for July already at: Swim 10,000 meters, Bike 250 miles, Run 25 miles.  Later ... :-)

Well, it looks like each individual team members opts for his/her goals, whether in time or distance.  It is merely a matter of setting a goal and seeing if we have achieved it at the end.  So, whether I set my goals in time or distance, if I meet them, I am 100% successful! My goals are:

Swim 10,000 meters, bike 250 miles, run 25 miles

Hmm... Didn't realize I'd joined the team with Moose and Rocco as our own personal motivators.

Goals:

Swim: 10,000 yards
Bike: 120 miles
Run: 10 hours

This will be for the first 3 weeks of July, cause the last week I'm going on vacation, and not planning on doing anything structured that week (planned rest week.)  The swim will be easy, the bike and run will be definitely stretch goals, but doable.

Team Name Suggestions:

1. Medicis - after all, we're led by Machiavelo.
2. Crazy Eights - I like this one
3. The Eight Ball Knows All - http://www.indra.com/8ball/front.html  (we can ask deep and meaningful training questions)
4. Pieces of Eight - http://blindkat.hegewisch.net/pirates/money.html  (we could talk in pirate code and have a secret pirate handshake - most importantly, a secret map to our lair)

Edit:  I like what team Endless Summer is doing with the avatars - so avatar suggestions to go along with the names...

1.  Everyone has a Medici - obviously our team captain must be Machiavelli (sp?)
2.  A Crazy Eight card
3.  A Magic eight ball
4.  Either a piece of eight, or we could each be a pirate, whichever.

I hope I am not too late!  Here is my pledge:

Swim 15,000 yards

Bike 100 miles

Run 20 miles

Hello Kiddies!!

Sorry for my tardiness, but I was out working my butt off today!  Got in a great ride down the coast.  Sounds like this is going to be a fun team.  I don't think I acutally understand the rules, but oh well.  That hasn't stopped me before!  Either way...WE ROCK!!!

Here are my goals for the month.
Swim - 10,000 meters - if I can make this it's gonna be huge.  It's double my biggest month.
Bike - 120 miles - will be a record for me
Run - 20 miles

Team Names - here are the ones I like, in no certain order.
1. Eight is great
2. Crazy Eights
3.  With 8 you get eggroll
