November Challenge Team #3

I suppose I should have introduced myself first.  My name is Ryan and I am a high school science teacher.  I have completed several triathlons from sprints to an Ironman.  After my daughter was born last April, I didn’t race or train much so this challenge is to get me back on track.  I am training for IMMOO so I need to get back in gear.  I can’t wait to get to know some of you and have some accountability in my training. 

My Goals

Run 8 hours, Bike 8 hours, Swim 8 hours, and lose 10lbs (I am a clyde @ 230).

Thanks for volunteering to be team captain!

As for introductions...I'm Kendra and I've been doing this for about a year.  I've come to love these challenges almost as much as races. 

This month, I have set a goal of 6 hrs biking, 6 hrs running, and 4 hrs swimming.  I am attempting to balance my training between the three disciplines.

And until the snow starts to fall on the slopes, I'll keep training.

okay, we need a name!!!!  How about team Random? 

Now is where people say no that is stupid, how about......... and we get a name

I'm not opposed to team Random.  Becuase the only other suggestions I have would be to maybe do something Thanksgiving or Fall related...

Hey!  I am Bryan.  I am relatively new and only have two sprints under my belt.  I started to do Triathlons becuase of a challenge a friend put out there.

I am forgetting my goals right now, but it will be a lot of running and biking as I have no pool to train in.  I am training for an Olympic distance next year, but I want to go for longer distances.

I also need to lose about 15lbs @215 now.

I am trying to meet some more people on the site so I thought this would be fun and keep me motivated.

 Team name..........ummmm......no.

Hi Team 3!!

I'm Jen.  I'm working on getting back into running after recovering from a stress fracture over the summer.  I'm training for the Shamrock 1/2 marathon.  Running is going to be my focus over the winter (will do some biking as cross-training, too).

My goals for the month are:
Run 45 miles
Strength/flexibility: 10 times
Lose 5 pounds (down to 170 by end of month)

I'm okay with team random.  I used a random word generator and it gave me "terror".  Maybe we should be the Random Terrors? 

Or the team 3 Thanksgiving Terrors....as in turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie

Ugh...I feel myself getting full just thinking about it!

Random Turkey Terrors? 

Hi Team!!

I'm Sharon (aka "E" and I just came off of a disappointing tri season.  I have swim issues but we're going to tackle those in December. 

My November goals are 8 hrs. bike, 8 hrs. run and 6 hrs. weight training.  Oh, and I'm also in a weight loss challenge.  I need to lose 5 lbs. by the end of November.

I have no suggestions for a team name.  I lose creativity the longer I'm at work...

I am good with this how about the rest of you Turkey Terrors?

I have not yet received the goals spread sheet, but when I do, I will post it and we can talk about how reporting will go. 

As for now, in the central time zone, we approaching 4 hours till the start of this challenge!

Good luck to all of us and lets get it done!

Okay, welcom joebowler and d.z. to team 3 which unless we get some compalint, will from this day on be known as the turkey terrors! 

Today is the first day so lets get out and get after those goals. 

I still do not have the sheet from Dee, but when I do, I will post it her, or I may start a Turkey Terror thread

Thank you for the inspires!

 How do you give them.  I spent a little while and am feeling stupid for not figuring out.

Go Turkey Terrors.

Go into someones blog and click on "Inspire Me" in the right corner of the day you want to inspire.  A new window pops up and you can enter your inspire for the day.

Hi guys!!  I am happy to be on the Turkey Terror team!  I'm Lisa, and I've been on BT since spring of '05.  I have done 4 sprint tris and 2 half marathons, but I really didn't do anything this past year partly because I got hitched in June.  In all this time on BT, I really have not improved in any way on anything, because I never really had a plan or was committed - but I am hoping to change that!  This challenge will be the most I have ever run in a month, just like my October Run Challenge mileage was the most I had ever run in a month.  Basically, I am trying to be consistent, and hopefully the speed will come with consistency.

My goals are to run 55 miles this month, and to bike twice. 

Let's have a great month!  Gobble Gobble!
