Hi Kids!

I know its midweek but I just had to do this. We in the Upper Midwest are getting some wicked crapptastic weather starting today through this weekend with daytime highs barely scraping 0F. It was only 6F with 12 mph winds during my run today. Its mighty easy to rack up some serious Suckage Points in this stuff. Plus I took the time to update my spreadsheet from the last few weeks of craziness. My current status is posted below.

Now BTFU (bundle the ___ up) and get out in the cold.

Cheers!

Tom

wgraves7582 - 2008-01-18 10:07 AM Tom, Up here in Buffalo we are planning on the teens over the weekend. You need to let me know how this challenge works since I am a rookie. All I know is that tomorrow I am going to be Single Speeding it on the bike in snow showers and then running 12 miles on Sunday in 12 degree weather with windchill! I am so excited! I just can't hide it! Yippee! Bring it on mother nature. We will not give in!

Welcome to the challenge! Here's how it works. There's essentially a multiplier to your minutes spent outside based on temp, wind, and precip. You get a bonus for biking and an even bigger bonus for swimming(!!!). You're not planning on hopping into Lake Erie, are you???

Here's the scoring system:

Winter Craptastic Weather Challenge

Temp Points
30-35 .5 point
25-29 1 points
15-24 3 points
1-14 5 points
0 and below 8 points

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wind Points
light winds (5-10 mph) 1 point
11-19 mph 2 points
20+ 4 points

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Precip Points
Drizzle/light snow 1 point
heavy rain/snow 3 points


Bike multiplier

1 point to multiplier to any bike minutes sub 50 degrees


Suck-o-meter scoring
Time in minutes x (Temp mult+Wind mult+precip mult+ Bike mult)= Suckitude score

So, my 37 minute run in -1F with 16 mph winds and no precip looks like this:

37 x (8+2+0) = 370

Again, welcome and enjoy!

Tom

Here was mine.  Could have been better, but the wife wouldn't let me go out on Saturday ;(  She was probably right, but I wanted to.

Will add leaderboard in next post:
