I guess that nobody wants to step up to be Captain so I'll take it over I guess.  I just ask that everyone send me their stats every week on Sunday that I may send them to you on time.  I will not, as I have done in July, go look for everyone's stats.  And please, just send me the stats in this order: S 10,000 / B 100 / R 50.  Do not write in yards, meters, miles, hours, or anything else, just the number.

Looks like I am the new kid on the block.  Hope the initiation usn't too painful

here's my goals.  I need to back off the swimming some and increase the bike /run. The run will be the hardest and I am leaving for vacation 8/30, so I get 2 less days to work with.......guess I better get out there

S - 35,000y / B - 250m / R - 35m  

I have decided to change my challenge miles and yards to kms and meters.  I find it easier to deal in metric as the odometer on my bike is set to it and the pool is in meters.   So here is the corrected (same distance actually) challenge figures as well as the rest of the team:

1. Machiavelo - S 12,000m / B 500km / R 50km

2. harmony --- S 20,000y / B 110mi / R 25mi

3. Trimom3 --- S 10,000y / B 275mi / R 40mi

4. nliedel ------ S 8,000m / B 160mi / R 120mi

5. Scavoovie--

6. ChrisM------- S - 35,000y / B - 250m / R - 35m

Well, after thinking about this overnight, I've decided that I'm not going to sign up for the challenge this month.  I have some other stuff I need to focus on, and I don't want to stress myself out trying to hit goals if something comes up that I need to take care of.

Have a great challenge guys!

Thanks for the welcome - I need to change my goals after looking at my calendar last night, losing two days, and a race in there.  I should come down to 200 on the bike, and that's pushing it, and drop some swim yds in order to get that done, so I am at:

S - 30,000 yds/ B - 200 M/ R - 35 M

Hello guys!!

Sorry for the delay, but I've been hard at work for three days straight!!!   Well, I've actually been at work, but not really that busy!  Anyway, I'd like to be a Loco Ocho again this month...if it's not too late.

I have to look at my schedule (work and training) and figure out what my goals will be, but I will post them shortly.

We are closing in on our first week of the August Challenge. How is everyone doing?

I have issues with my pool. If it isn't closed for maintenance, it's closed for some kind of special class or bad weather. Too bad it isn't open at 1 a.m. Maybe then I could have more access.

I am working on my olympic training schedule (3rd week before the tri) so this is the big one.  I should be tapering off for the next two weeks though:

Bike: 6h 22m 54s - 150.57 KM (30%)
Run: 1h 45m 40s - 14.5 KM (41%)
Swim: 1h 44m - 3600 M (30%)

I was supposed to do 77 minutes of swimming in the pool today but I have an open water water mini camp scheduled for tomorow at Meech Lake.  I don't know how many meters we'll be swimming but it should make up for it.

Hello Guys,

Sorry for the delay, but here are my goals.  BTW - who is the team capt?  Skavoovie?

Swim - 18,000m
Bike - 70 mi
Run - 30mi

Oh Captain, my Captain our fearful trip is not done.... you have 24 more days to make up for your lack of training.  By my "figuring" you can meet your 30,000 meter swim challenge by doing in 1,250 meters per day!  Good luck!!!

I am sure that all team members will meet their goals and probably exceed it.  We have a great team!  :-)
