Okay - this will be an individual side challenge for January. (There can still be a team challenge as well).

Here's how it will work:

- If you were in the December Challenge and met your goal then increase your goal by 10% for January.

- If you surpassed your December goal by more than 10% then I suggest you readjust your January goal to something closer to what you completed in January. I encourage others to review each participants logs and be vocal if you feel someone has sandbagged their goal based on previous months logs.

- At the end of January if you have not met your goal then you are eliminated. If you met your goal then congratulations add 10% to your goal for February... Eventually we will have a Sole Survivor

- So Fast So Clean I will let you set a new goal for January as your 126 km in December qualifies you for an exception.... Let me know if there are any others who you feel should qualify for an exception.

- Others who may have missed out on the December challenge may join in as well. Again - don't sandbag your goal - these challenges should push you to train a bit harder.

To Sign Up please reply in this thread saying you are interested and let me know what your goal will be. Deadline for signing up will be Friday January 6th at 23:59 mountain time.

I will post weekly spreadsheets with the results.

Good luck - Good swims.

My December goal was 13,500 meters. My January goal will therefore be 14,850 meters.

oh ya - my team in December did not all complete their goal so I guess I gotta change my avatar...will do so shortly

Great idea!!

I'm in.

Oops - my goal for December was 14,500 so my goal for January will be 15,950. Let's just round that up to 16,000.

Okay, I think I have this right. . . My goal was 15,000 yards for the DSC, but I actually swam
17,423 yards, so my goal for the January Swim Challenge should be 19,165 yards?!?   I'm in! Thanks for organizing the "side challenge," Steve!  Happy Swimming!

Subject: RE: January Side Challenge - Outstroke - Outlast - Outswim
I'd love to be in on this one, but unfortunately I can only swim when I don't have my kids. So I am limited in my pool time.  My 15,000 yards from Dec. is about my max pool time.  Have fun!

I'm in <gasp>.   I did 10,000 yards for December - so up 10 % would make my new goal 11,000.   It seems low compared to everyone else...but will be a stretch for me.

Steve, how do you want to keep track of our yardage?  Do you want us to post here each time we swim or would you rather we give you a weekly tally?  Or do you have some way to pick up our blogs?   Thanks!

I swam 2,500 today.

Holy Cats!  33,000?  Are you training for triathlons or life as a fish?!!  I'm in awe!

Good Question - If I don't have too many people sign up then I will look at each person's logs - so please try to keep your logs up to date!
