[Hey, you change goals, but ask for outs for injuries, Goddesses ride more to compensate for injuries. 

So, are you suggesting we change his goal back to where it was? I don't think we would have a problem there...

Hey Mike,

Wasn't taking a personal stab, just making sure the Testosterbones thread is getting as much trash as ours.  I'm not going to let this turn in to the ordeal like it did yesterday.

Sarah, don't come in here without a large supply of Spongebob Bandaids. Skin is very thin hereabouts. Oh, and give 'em some cookies and milk if they get riled up.

Yo, Testosterboners, this is your wake up call.  If you doubted whether we needed to be out riding, let this be your motivation...read on.

It seems as though we're up against a bunch of sandbaggers.  I just read, over on their thread, that one of the cupcakes is at 450 miles on a 250 mile goal.  All that means is that we've got to pound the pavement over the next 9 days.  We'll beat them, and their sandbags, fair and square.

Rock on!

Careful, the smell of fear is overpowering the delicious smell of cupcake's baking in the sun while they RIDE, RIDE, RIDE.  Ooooo, it sure it heavy carrying all those sandbags along with me.....

Don't get complacent! 

The women have won the last two challenges.  I don't care what the numbers are midstream, they've always found a way to win.  These numbers will only serve to provide them with more motivation to get out and ride.

I would suggest two things.  First, add two more rides to your schedule for the remaining 9 days of the contest.  Secondly, don't let up on the trash talking over on the Ice Goddess thread.

Rollin' Thunder - 2005-06-21 9:40 AM Because of the challenge, I will end up riding about 50% higher than my original goal. As a good sport, I decided to increase my goal to what I should end up with at the end of the month to keep pushing me through the last day of June. That will help motivate me, even though I may only end up at 100%. I would think that is the responsible thing to do for both teams... Mike

Hey, you change goals, but ask for outs for injuries, Goddesses ride more to compensate for injuries. To each his own.... (actually, we just found all your trash talk encouragement on the Goddesses thread so motivating, we couldn't help but ride above our goal!)



Sure is easy to kick when someones down eh?

Thanks for the support.

Now go ride guys.

One guy going down isn't going to pull us down as a team -- we all support you Chris. My ire is reserved for those guys that don't get their milage for no other reason than (insert your excuse here).

Being injured is a valid reason not to hit your goal. Being lazy is not.

Mike

PS. People can always pick on your when you are down. It is when you get back up, pass them on their sight seeing bike ride and smile as you go by and scare them as you yell "ON YOUR LEFT" that is really going to make victory sweet Chris.

Another 20 tonite puts me at 334. I hope no one minds that I drafted off my wife most of the way. That puts me at 334 of 350 toward the original goal. The bear bear goal is 420 so I need 86 more for that one.

Thanks for the incentive Renee....

Woo Hoo!  Way to Go Steve! 

I chalked in a short brick tonight bringing me up to 197 / 250.  I'll make goal at my race on Sunday and then the rest of the week will be going after another 50 for the Bear challenge.

Gentlemen:
I have participated in the previous two boys vs. girls challenges, met my goals, and yet I still suffered the ignominious fortune of defeat at the hands of these lovely, yet somewhat annoying examples of hossness. We are all now paying the price in the form of my, and other poor souls, a$$atars, here on display for the whole world to see.

At any given time, the percentage of lurkers vs. registered members on BT hovers around 45% to 55%. Imagine what's going through their minds about the men of BT. Think for a moment of what this has done to our reputation in the larger tri world. Imagine if Norman Stadler or Peter Reid were to just casually cruise the forums on a lark.What do you want them to see?

We are triathletes. We do this to make more of ourselves than we've ever been. It is time to do just that.

We are ahead, but the race has just begun. We must not win by a few percentage points. We must win unquestionably, irrefutably, decisively.

It is time to put in miles you didn't know you had in you. Wake up 15 minutes earlier for your weekday morning rides, go past your usual turnaround point to the next train track, get on your bike this weekend with the goal of not getting off until you can say "epic".

Avenge me! Ride 'boners! Ride! Ride!

Hey team,

Just wanted to let you know that with the 12 I put in today I am officially at 63/60 which is over 100%.  I know...I know, it's not nearly as big as most on this site but I'm feeling pretty good about it.  It is by far the most I have ever rode in a single month.  I still have a couple of rides left before the end of the month so I'll try to make that total a little bigger.

GO BONES!!!

Cookies!!!  I like cookies and milk.  The winners of the challenge, since it will be the boners, should have cookies and milk served to them by the losing team"read Gear Goddesses" while the losers are wearing bikinis.  Who's with me??

Another 50 for you is 150%, will go a long way to bring up the team average. Like the sound of that, such a nice round number. A second beer on the bear to anyone reaching that milestone of 50% more than goal! Oh, and another cookie for John in South Bend.

Another 30 for me, gives me 359/334=107.7%. I'm bagging my swim in the morning so I can get 20 extra miles on the bike, might be able to reach 420 (125%) before Friday.
