Elite 3489     Lakewood, CO | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2011-2012 wgraves7582 - 2011-11-22 5:40 AM Another cold commute today - not enough to work on catching Darren but November points are always welcome around here. Off to Colorado and Arizona next week - probably will be pointless there Sunrise bike ride might be the only way to generate points for a while here.... |

| New user 214 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2011-2012 I love that the rules let me rack up points for walking my dogs! One quick question on the temprerature points - where there is a windchill factor, should I be taking the points for the actual temperature, or for the windchill? For example, tonight I took my dogs for a walk; the Weather Network says the temp was -2 (celcius), but felt like -9. Can I claim 3 temperature points (for the -9) or just 1 (for the -2)? Is the wind variable supposed to account for this difference? Edited by hgoudreau 2011-11-22 10:44 PM |

Extreme Veteran 532 Northampton, UK | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2011-2012 Shame it was 12c (53f) today as I'm sure the 43mph winds I was running in would have raked up some nice points. Thankfully it looks like it will finally start to get cold in a week - 10 days! |

| Elite 3067 Cheesehead, WI | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2011-2012 Yippee! Finally rode my bike out in the cold. 34 degrees, 13mph winds and my fingers and toes were going numb by the time I got home. BRRRRR!!! LOVe riding on deserted roads though - early sunday am rides. No other riders out but plenty of dog walkers and runners. My new fatter tires feel rock solid. My brakes on the front though seemed to be rubbing by the time I got home too...think I just need to grease them up so they don't stay clamped shut in a frozen lock-down. LOL |

| Elite 3067 Cheesehead, WI | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2011-2012 wgraves7582 - 2011-11-22 6:29 PM Ohhh the cruel temptations - it is 34.5 degrees out, windy, and raining and I could go for a run but I am tired from my ride home but there are points to be had tonight. Oh what do I do??? Really it is only a 25 min run max * 3.0 points = 75 points - is it worth it? Does Lenny or Darren or someone else beat me by 74 points and I look back at tonight and say if only? Do I shower and just call it a night (I also just went to the Y with my son for an hour to shoot around and lift a little)? Do I run for points? Do I run for the love of it? Nah - good night Good call. I was doing the same thing Saturday morning...rainy out, no real points cuz temp too high...hadn't had a chill day in a while...family stuff going on...so I pushed off the run and chilled. It was all good. |

You are an animal! 20 miles in wind, snow and 28 degrees! wow! I'm pretty slow so if it were me out there doing that run, I'd likely have had my nose fall off after my 3.5 hours out there! LOL Nice job! |

| Master 1531 TORONTO | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2011-2012 Just wondering if it's too late to join this...? Is it monthly or cumulative from October? No worries - just thinking it might motivate me to get out there on the cold miserable days |

| Expert 1128 Boston | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2011-2012 Sooooo......no points over here. End of November and still in the 50's! Feels kinda weird digging out the Xmas decorations in this heat wave. Its gotta get colder....right? |

No worries - just thinking it might motivate me to get out there on the cold miserable days Probably cool (hehe) to join anytime. We didn't start tallying points until November. And November is a pretty inconsistent month for the most part. CWWC Champions aren't made in November. You could even go back with your log and a weather website and document your November workouts. |

| Regular 58 Tomahawk | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2011-2012 Finally boarded a few points! I've created a monster, "Englam" I am beginning to wonder if I should have told him about this challenge. I am sure everyone here knows that one person whom is an extremists, this one is mine. Well at least he keeps me motivated, thanks Mike! I guess after reading all your post you are all kinda those people, cool thanks for the motivation. GO SNOW! YOUR ALL CRAZY! |

| Champion 5312 Calgary | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2011-2012 darn crazy weather. 5C at 6 this morning. I thought for sure some points, was supposed to be -2C. Weird. Nice run though. Hey, does anyone understand chemistry and physics and stuff like that. Like why in the world if it is 5C out and has been above 0 for a number of days (although freezing a bit a night) why is there still some ice on the sidewalk and road. I don't get it. |

| Member 41 | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2011-2012 Thank goodness for this challenge. Before this I had to be satisfied with leaving the house at the same time my wife went to work and then running 37 miles to her job before she got off in 8 hours. I made it with 15 minutes to spare and was freezing because I hadn't brought a key for her vehicle. Thank you Crappy Weather challenge for focusing and channelling my suffering.lol |
