Master 1553 Elm Grove | Subject: RE: Winter Crummy Weather Challenge Nov 1 - 10 sgoehner - 2007-11-01 8:51 AM Wow, my run this morning got me crap for points, all I did was get cold. But 19.125 points were accumulated. I did the calculation wrong this morning. I thought my points were a little low, so I put all of the numbers in Morey's spreadsheet and voila, that's better. run 36.75 minutes temp 34.3 degrees wind 10mph Total 55.125 points. Thats more like it. I don't know what the hell I did this morning to get 19. |

Master 2099 Madison, WI | Subject: RE: Winter Crummy Weather Challenge Nov 1 - 10 Hey, so here's a question. I biked home tonight and it was 51. So, is that just no points? Or, do I get to count my light wind points? (6mph wind) Edited to say that according to Morey's calculator, nope, no points. Dang. Edited by DeannaS 2007-11-01 6:37 PM |

Master 2099 Madison, WI | Subject: RE: Winter Crummy Weather Challenge Nov 1 - 10 All right. I continue to be confuzled. Morey's calculator gives me different results than I get. Sooooo, is Morey's calculator the "official" way to do the scoring? Here's my calculations (yep - I'm counting every minute on that bike, even if it's really only a couple of minutes). 2.5 minutes 36 degrees (0 pts) 6 mph winds (.5 pts) bike multiplier: 1 2.5 X (1 + .5) = 3.75 Morey's calculator says it's 5. Who's right? |

Who's right? 6mph is 1 pt not .5, so you are mistaken, we will be official with the morey calculator - that way it is consistent |

Master 2139 piece o heaven | Subject: RE: Winter Crummy Weather Challenge Nov 1 - 10 So the weekend went down with a great Frozen Man 40- Fri I swam inside and today I kayaked on EL for 35 mins (not sure if that takes craptastic) but Saturday is the big winner SWIM (2pt)- 43 degrees (0pts) with 9/10 mph (.5pts) for 10 mins = 25 pts (should be worth more for the water temp being under 55 easy) BIKE (1pt) - 45 degrees (0) with 11mph winds (2 pts) for 75 min = 225pts RUN (0) 49 degrees (0) with 11 mph (2) for 19 mins = 38 pts TOTAL OF 288! doesn't seem like much for such a long day, especially since we swam (Frozen Man 40.jpg) Attachments ---------------- Frozen Man 40.jpg (45KB - 28 downloads) |

Master 2099 Madison, WI | Subject: RE: Winter Crummy Weather Challenge Nov 1 - 10 You boys suck. I got ZERO points this weekend, despite lots of time working out. Stupid warm temps and calm winds. (Well, the winds weren't calm yesterday, but it was still 2 degrees too warm. *sigh*) I've got a whopping 5 points for the week. |

At least 60...so only the wind counts. |

Expert 1135 Delano, MN | Subject: RE: Winter Crummy Weather Challenge Nov 1 - 10 Are we posting for the short week today or do we wrap it into next week? I tried to wait last night until the wind came up and the temp went down but I still couldn't get any points out of it. I'll begin playing tomorrow with my commute (25 degrees 17 mph wind) Edited by hikergerb 2007-11-05 8:37 AM |
