April Try-For-Four Challenge

April Try-For-Four Challenge

It's APRIL! For many of us, the weather is getting warmer and Tri season is almost here. Are you ready to SWIM and BIKE and RUN?

For this challenge, you can set goals in ONE to FOUR activities.
The categories are: SWIM, BIKE, RUN and "OTHER."
You can participate in one activity, or two, or three or four. It's up to you!

For example: You can swim, bike, run and strength train..... Or you can swim and run..... Or you can bike.... Etc.
YOU define the activities. (Does 'swimming' include kick drills? Does 'running' include elliptical work?) YOU decide, and set your goals accordingly....
YOU set the goals. Only want to swim once? Only want to bike once? YOU decide, and set your goals accordingly.

This will be a Team Challenge. Teams will be assigned randomly. However, team and teammate requests will be honored whenever possible.

At the end of the month:
The winning team(s) will display a signature line: "My team won the April Try-For-Four Challenge!"

Signature lines will be displayed for the month of May. After that, it's your choice whether to leave it, or remove it.

Team spreadsheets will be put on Google Spreadsheets. Each team member will update his/her own info.


The Challenge will begin on April 1st, and end on April 30th.
In the event of injury/illness, you may request to be dropped from the challenge, without penalty.
If you achieve 100% of your goal before the month is over, you may raise your goal.

At the end of the month, the winning team will be the team with the highest completion rate.


Smack talking:
-- Smack talking is not mandatory, but may be done.
-- Smack talk is different from a personal attack. If you aren’t sure what the difference is, err on the side of caution and do not post the comment. (Keep in mind that real people are reading your comments!)
-- Smack talking is not to be taken personally. If you get upset about a post, ignore it and move on.
-- If you find a post offensive, and cannot simply ignore it: Walk away from the computer until you feel better, OR better yet, go for a good workout. A hard workout does wonders for your perspective.


The ultimate goal of this Challenge is to push yourself in an activity (or activities), to work out, to meet fellow BTers (virtually or otherwise), and to have some fun!

Hopefully, this Challenge will give you a little extra incentive and motivation to succeed at your goals – whatever they may be.

Welcome to the Challenge!
