Subject: They Came From Outer Space: The Mutant Green Peeps

Welcome to the March Challenge....'

No one knows exactly where they came from, but the strange green peeps arrived in Peep town and began to multiply. Now making up a strong majority in the Peep population they have their first green candidate running in the current Peep Town election.


Your team line up is:

1. AddysDaddy

2. Breezy

3. carrie1

4. Enders Shadow

5. naners

6. ninecrushers

7. rcroberto

8. smilford

9. vball03umd

10. Yoganerd



Please take the time wherever you can to get to know your team members through team chatter here and inspires on their logs. The more motivation you can give each other, the higher chance you wont be declared marshmallows at the end of the month! (I mean who doesnt like some team support to get them going?)

You need to chose a team captain and I will drop back in the next couple of days with a spreadsheet for you to use to track your team results. I will set up a teamcaptain/ leaders thread for each team to check in everyweek.

As mentioned in the original post reporting weeks for the challenge are as follows:

Week 1: March 1 - 9
Week 2: March: 10- 16
Week 3: March 17 -23
Week 4: March 24-31

Please make sure your logs are up to date at the end of each week, and don't forget to report your weekly results to your team!

You can increase your individual goal anytime throughout the challenge, just make sure your team captain knows of the change so they can let me know in the weekly check ins. I will post an update on the challenge in a thread each week and let your team know when it is ready... I make these on a separate thread as its a good chance to mention how great you are going to the other teams!!!

In case you missed it there is a loosing penalty for this challenge:
1) If your team looses the Peep Wars then you will be required to change your avatar to a Peep/Marshmellow for the month of April
2) If you fail to meet your personal goal in the Peep Wars, you must add a signature line that declares " I am a marshmellow and need to harden/toughen up!" for the month of April

FINALLY... this is a competition so feel free to drop in on the other teams with pictures, comments and banter - they will probably do it to you!

So I suggest you introduce yourself to your team below with information like your training history, upcoming goals, family life.. whatever you like to share.. and THEN... RIDE YOUR BIKE! Im sure no one wants to end the month as a Peep, or a marshmallow!

Happy cycling
Cat

Hey Peeps!  This is my second challenge. I wish I had stumbled across these challenges sooner - they are fantastic and so well run ;-)  I'm glad to be a part of the Mutant Green Peeps!!!

 I'm in this challenge for 14 hours :-) Hopefully most of that will be outside but it's been pretty cold here.

:-) Carrie

Hey, Mutant Green Peeps!

And, welcome back to another challenge, Carrie... like Peeps, ones you try one, it is difficult to resisting another, and another, and...

I am in for 16 hours this month... I will hopefully do more, but it is still snow-covered up here, and I will be losing at least one weekend of travel.

Hey guys!!  

This is my 2nd challenge and I'm definitely looking forward to putting in some time on the bike this month.  I'm hoping that most of the hours are outside because I really dislike the trainer. 

Goooo.. mutant green peeps

Hey, mutant Peeps!

I am a challenge junky. When I don't do them, I feel sad. Yea, I'm a bit compulsive.

I'm in for 160 miles, which is good, because I'm hoping to get out on my bike finally...it's been spin class for me this winter - but I have a duathlon coming up in early April so I need to bike bike bike.

Let's have an awesome challenge!

Hey guys.  I'm in for 8.5 hours which is what my oly training plan calls for.  If we can go higher than 100% I'll drop a swim or run from the plan and boost the cycling.  I look forward to us all beating our goals!  Good luck to us in the cold weather!  Death to the trainer!

Hi mutant green peeps!  I'm in for 27 hours this month--which will be somewhat of a stretch, but I'm ready.  I need to work on actually getting outside.  I have no excuse, but find that I'm quite addicted to trainer rides.

That's freaking awesome, we're green mutant peeps. Dude, I'm sure we could cover a lot of mileage with our tin foil spaceships...

Anyway, this will be my first challenge! YAY! I put down 250 miles (which is WAAAY more than I've done in a month EVER).

Hey Peeps!
I'm in for 70 miles although it is still winter in upstate NY and I am travelling for business the first and last weeks of the month. Here's to hoping for an unseasonably warm month!

I put down 475, which on a non race month wouldn't be a problem at all. But during this month with a duathlon and a 1/4 triathlon, it will be a challange.

So, is everyone going to get some time in tomorrow?  I wasn't planning on it, but if the weather is like it is today it would be a crime not to get out there for a ride!

Hi Peeps! Please find attached your spreadsheet for the challenge - the lovely Dee has let me know she will upload these into google for you!

You then have the choice you can either use google or the spreadsheet for tracking... whatever the team/team captain decides!

Hi Green Outer Space Mutant Peeps!

I have a Google spreadsheet available for you. As Cat said, it's your choice whether to use this, or the spreadsheet that she attached in her last post. If you want to use the Google version, here's the info you'll need:

Here's a link to the spreadsheet:

Hey everyone.  Question about logging.  Are we logging our own information onto the spreadsheets?  Also, are we logging it as we do them or on a weekly basis? Does it matter?  I didn't see that anyone posted anything yet.  Just wondering. Thanks

usually the team captain will figure that out and let everyone know.  it will probably depend on whether or not your team uses the google spreadsheets or the traditional spreadsheets

in either case you will want to be sure to update the info in your training log - hope this helps a little

Is anyone interested in being Team Captain?

I'm not terribly against it since it's not all that much work anyhow. So if no one speaks up, I'll take it. Or since I just spoke up, it will get tossed on me anyway!


Anyhow, 80.5 miles now.

From the overall challeng perspective, where you are at weekly is what I will be looking for on a Monday when I do the updates...

Generally with google spreadsheets each of the team members log their own data and the team captain just reminds you to have it in on time each week...

Hey everyone.

This is my second challenge and I am using it to get back on the bike and get motivated.  I just got over being sick so I am ready to go.

I am going to shoot for 16 hours for the month.
