Subject: Motivation/Inspires Challenge
I know we are ALL busy, but we have not had one of these challenges in quite a while. I challenge everyone to, for the next two weeks, leave at least 2 inspires a day. That's a total of 28 inspires to others... Bonus if you leave 28 inspires to 28 different people! Anything more than 2 a day does not count, this ensures people don't spend one afternoon leaving 28, and not doing anything the rest of the time. This is a "habit building" exercise...

1) It should help to motivate someone else
2) Help you to see other people's training plans, and how they are doing

There's no score, and nobody looses this challenge - but maybe it will help the person you leave an inspire for to be a winner!

I'm up for the challenge, who else?

Only two takers for this challenge? This is a pretty important challenge for everyone, and takes very little time! Who else is in?

Have been slacking lately on my "Inspiring" mostly due to work and heavy training load but this is an important part of my "Mental" training.

Bump for the Monday AM crowd (on Tuesday after the long holiday).

I'm personally doing well with this. I just leave one for all my buddies, and then watch the BT Blogger for something to leave some motivations on.

that's a good technique and its working for me. its nice to get a response from a "random" inspire too!

O.K., I'm in.  There's not an 'inspire police,' is there?

Is this going to be on the test?

Now that June is over, is this challenge still on? Would be interested if we did it. Inspires are great, and keeps us motivated to make sure we all put our training in.

Gives us an accountability to our own selves, and for others who are trying to achieve some Traithlon goals, or what ever goals one may set for themselves.

Great bump, thanks for that!

Yep, this challenge should be there for everyone all the time.

IMLP is this coming Sunday - let's try to find the IMLP triathletes on here and leave them inspires this week.

I'm in.  I am an inspires junkie!  I like the IMLP idea, I will head that way.  We should also look for race reports.  Many times people submit their rr but there are no responses and that seems really lonely!

The Muncie Endurathon was last weekend, and I was there watching a buddy race the sprint. Trying to get out of the area, I hit several intersections with Hwy 36, which was for the most part closed for the bike portion of the race, very limited places to cross. Every time I hit a intersection, I parked my car got out and clapped for everyone coming along for about 5 minutes. They were the most grateful bunch of people I have met, thrilled that someone was there yelling for them 40+ miles into the bike.

Go to someone's training log, click on the link to "Inspire me", and leave them an encouraging comment. Or call them a slacker. Or say whatever you want. It's mainly to leave an encouraging comment though.
