Pro  3870      Virginia Beach, VA |  Subject: I can't belive what this has turned into!Wow, I knew there was a special forum just for challenges but I've never checked in out. i can't believe how many different challenges there are. It was less than a year since the original swim challenge that started all of this. To be fair, the original original challenge was something with Bear and another member talking smack about "riding lots"  The swim challenge was the first organized BT community challenge and it looks like things have just snowballed since. Keep up the good work everyone! |

Cycling Guru 15134 Fulton, MD | Subject: RE: I can't belive what this has turned into! It's pretty cool. Because of the challenges I've done a swim one in January, a run one in February, a bike one in March and the massive 700 club bike challenge in April. Every one has been a good motivator and kept me on pace to hit my training load for Eagleman. Definitely a great outlet to get motivated! |

, but there was an "organized BT community challenge" for cycling BEFORE your swim challenge, an outgrowth of the "talking smack" between kim and I. Yours was part of the snowball, not the first.| 2006-05-12 10:26 AM in reply to: #421472 |

Pro 3870 Virginia Beach, VA | Subject: RE: I can't belive what this has turned into! I agree that it ended up as a community challenge and a semi-organized one at that but it started as a friendly contest IIRQ. I don't think it was intended to be anything like the challenges we see today. So yeah, what I said originally was accurate...and I did give you credit after all the bear - 2006-05-12 10:21 AM Your thread of May 2 proposes the swim challenge.

Pro 3906 St Charles, IL | Subject: RE: I can't belive what this has turned into! So how about a run challenge? I think it's the only time anyone else on BT stands a chance of beating you Joel. |

Though not well attended it was restarted and gathered even less enthusiasm then. I did it the second time however and it really helped my swimming get started. http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp... ... and while searching for it I found an older challenge, from before my time here: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp... |

Interesting to take note of how many members are still around today. I didn't look in too great detail but I recognized a few of the members of that challenge. |
