Subject: September Swim vs. Bike. vs Run Challenge!!
So in follow up to the previous "remember when" thread.

I think we decided on a Swim vs. Bike vs. Run Challenge. Pick what you want to work on for the month of Sept and we will see who does the best in reaching goals!! Let's see which group can stick it to their goals of swimming, biking, or running! Let the smack talk begin!!

I need some help from the spreadsheet pros.... (anyone??) Once it is up we can get you all to enter your name and specific goal onto the sheet. There will be a swim sheet, bike sheet and run sheet!

Who's in?

I'm picking running but I'll have to figure out a goal...I'll probably say 20runs because I have a coach and predicting exact time and such is difficult as I get my schedule every Sunday.

I was going to be on the run as well, since I am supposed to be training for a marathon.

I could be on the bike team, but my goal would only be for days off from running. I am not sure I could take everyone on by myself

We need to go out to the forums and friends and roust people!

i'm not sure which one i'll do...I should do run because that seems to be the one that I neglect in my training plan - would much rather be swimming or riding...but I seem to have the best luck at doing my swim workouts as planned...so I think i'll go that route...will be back with my goal soon

I will be in for running as well. This is because, shudder, I sold my bikes and the lake is starting to cool off so my swimming season is about over.

I would like to join. I am not sure which one I will do though. I am training for a 10K VERY SLOOOOWLY as this is my first year back after shattering my ankle last year (bike crash). My training plan is pretty set and I rarely miss my runs. I suck at swimming and need the most motivation in that area. I need no incentive to skip the pool. Biking is usually a matter of timing and company as I don't ride alone.

Does spinning count for the bike portion or only outdoor riding?

any sort of riding works.

I was going to run, but looks like there are a lot of runners on here already.  I'll join the bike team since hubby is getting ready for a big ride, I'll keep him company.

I'll swim! Not quite sure what yet, might just be sessions rather than times, distance is no good as I always lose count of laps in the pool.

Hi Lovey! Good to see you Smile

ok, if i uploaded it right...

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4wg4MKhn4N5Q1pXWWFLRG96a00/edit?usp...

there is a separate TAB for Swim/Bike/Run - if ppl could go in and put their goals - then your percentages complete will work
