July non TdF challenge

It's JULY!  

Cat (kaqphin) runs her FAMOUS TdF cycling challenge in July.  

So this is a non-cycling challenge!  (Of course, you can still bike if you want to!  But you can do "other stuff" too.  AND you can still participate in the TdF challenge as well!)  

For this challenge, you can set goals in ONE to FOUR activities. 

YOU define the goals. YOU define the 'rules.' 
For example: You can swim, bike and run..... Or you can water jog and aqua bike. Whatever you want, it's up to you. 

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. 


To participate: 
Sign up on this Google spreadsheet: 
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0An7ZkKfHG1L1dHFEOFhGYjFlM2YzbUV6ckgwTHR6clE&hl=en#gid=0

You do NOT need to enter your goals on this spreadsheet.  I'll set up separate team spreadsheets for that later. 

You will need to enter the following information to logon: 
email address: [email protected] 
password: challengeforum 

If you can't access the spreadsheet: 
Scroll to the bottom, and look at the bottom right corner. If it says, "edit this page," click that link and enter the info above. 


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 be able to add a signature line: "My team won the July Challenge!" 

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


The Challenge will begin on July 1 and end on July 31. 
In the event of injury/illness, you may request to revise your goals or be dropped from the challenge. 
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!
