Hi Luc!

Welcome to BT and the Challenge forum!

Don't worry about being a post padder. (We have plenty on this team who are.... LOL)

Same here. I step out for a nutritious dinner.....
Um, does that include the 4 pieces of cake? 'Cause *I* think that 4 pieces of cake constitutes a nutritious dinner, but others here may disagree....


I had a glass of milk too.  Somehow that justified it in my mind

Once the challenge gets started, I'll write a team links table for us. I'm betting you all know what the background will be. The only question is --> Should I go with the leopard print taser, or the camo one?

Decisions, decisions.....

Hello all. Mark from Orlando, FL by way of Katy TX here. Just checking in for now. I'm still finishing up my swim challenge. My team commited an epic fail but I'll still get my 100% tonight. Don't ever let be known that I don't finish strong!

Is it an "epic fail?" I thought it was close? Hmmm...

OK, Guys are at 91%, Girls are at 92%.... And if the lowest 10% gets dropped from each team (per Nicole's ruling).... That would take out the 30% and 50% numbers from your team (along with others, but those are the 2 lowest)....

Quick Cat, get another swim in for the Girls! Oh wait, it's already June where you are. Nevermind.

Holy crudmuffin!  12 PAGES????  I mean, I'm usually fashionably late, but this is ridiculous!

And to top it off, I 'wasted' a run session today forgetting it was the day before the first.  (My knees hate me running two days in a row!)  OOPS.  It was a shorty so hope it won't hold me back.

Hello, Chatty Taser team!  For those who don't know me, my name is Mina, I live near Boston, and my fantasy triathlon would be LONG SWIM, medium bike, and then itty bitty teeny weeny run... to a finish filled with beer instead of gatorade!  Hoping you all will help pester me back on the path of regular running, since I've been pretty lame in that department.

Also, apologies in advance for not being too chatty in the first 10 days-- I'm off to New Orleans!   For a stinkin' work conference!   But I'm squeezing in a 5k event!   That starts at 7am on a Sunday

And, I know... I should've milked that for 3 posts +, but I'm stahvin!

Oh, there will be more than posts flying... 

So is it permissible to drop in on the other teams for a little trash talking?  I would image so, but I don't want them to get the post credit....

Yep, here's what's on the Challenge Announcement page (the thread where everyone signed up):

Smack talking:
-- Smack talking is not mandatory, but may be done.
-- Smack talk is different from a personal attack. If you aren’t sure what the difference is, err on the side of caution and do not post the comment. (Keep in mind that real people are reading your comments!)
-- Smack talking is not to be taken personally. If you get upset about a post, ignore it and move on.
-- If you find a post offensive, and cannot simply ignore it: Walk away from the computer until you feel better, OR better yet, go for a good workout. A hard workout does wonders for your perspective.


As for post credit.... Um, someone (we won't mention any names, but she has a puppy nose avatar) has been posting on all the team threads.....

Where was it that I heard that 2nd place only ment you were the 1st loser. Just joking. I had a great time with the challenge and to honest if it wasen't for the challenge I would have totally blown off my last three swims. So in that sense it was a great success.

I can't wait to get started with this one.

Wasn't it nice that he complimented you on your fantastic cycling skills?

I want to make a t-shirt with this, but I think most people wouldn't understand it:
