Buttercup  14334    |  Subject: July Tri Challenge CentralTo quote from Alexander Haig, "I'm in charge here." :D A team Captain has requested that I act as facilitator of the July Tri Challenge. As I'm not participating directly and can't The rules have yet to be fine-printed, but generally speaking, it will be a Tri Challenge. Your training effort (time or distance, tbd) in all three sports will be measured. Your respective Captains will help create the rules (I'm just a facilitator and potential tie-breaker - think Dick Cheney's role in the Senate). For now, team size is limited to 8. This is not set in stone and might change, depending on how these teams shape up. Here's where we're at so far with teams:
Continue signing up with teams in the Team threads. This thread will be used to make rules announcements, progress reports and Captain discussions, etc. |

Expert 997  North Central WV | Subject: RE: July Tri Challenge Central Renee - I will go where I am needed. I will just wait until someone desperately wants me :-) I am heading out of town so I may not get back on to BT for a few days. I am giving you the sole authority to place me where ever you want. I don't have time to think of my goals right now. Mal |

| Extreme Veteran 319 Dallas, Texas | Subject: Rule ??'s Can my goals be set in minutes for each event? (That's how my training plan is set-up) Can I still play even though I'll be in Africa and unable to train for 2 weeks in July? (I want the motivation pre and post-trip to stick to my training plan or else my first tri will kick my bootie.) |

(I want the motivation pre and post-trip to stick to my training plan or else my first tri will kick my bootie.) You will notice in my first post that the rules for goals are yet to be determined and your respective Captains will determine that in a yet-to-occur Captain Pow-Wow. Time instead of distance is something we are considering. Your Captain will advise you if your goals are acceptable but I see no reason why you can't play (but I'm just the facilitator). |

| Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: July Tri Challenge Central Renee... I think we should allow people to do either time or distance to track their goals since people train both ways. I think it could be tracked both ways since a number is a number. I don't track miles run or yards I swim so it would be hard to do distance. My plan is setup in time. Who has stepped up to do calculations for the month? |

| Elite Veteran 781 | Subject: RE: July Tri Challenge Central Okay, it looks like Endless Summer is filled with some very funny triathletes. This is going to be fun. My suggestion is to let each team member set his or her goals, either time or distance, doesn't matter, and we track percentage of completion. The winning team is the one who has the most members at 100 percent in the most disciplines. IOW, the entire team is done when 24 boxes (8 team members X 3 disciplines) on a spread sheet read 100%. A team with 23 boxes at 100% then beats a team with 22 boxes at 100%. If a person is injured and can't run (like Nikki), she sets her goal at 0 miles and that box then becomes 100%. If somebody is injured, we can either freeze their goal at the point of injury or conceed that that box won't be at 100%. Up for discussion. I'd also like to continue to support a charity, but I don't know if others are becoming tapped out. If so, we could make that aspect voluntary and let the winning team(s) decide who they'd like to support. Just my thoughts. |

Prepare to be humbled folks.....Announcing Team Yuengling: We'll figure out goals and post when complete. I'm only humbled by the fact that you managed to come up with a word I've never heard of and will still again and also not be able to spell correctly, like Corps de Lion. Will have to find all manner of creative ways to mangle it. WELCOME TO THE CHALLENGE, younglings! Edited by Tania 2005-07-01 3:32 PM |
