September - Swim and Bike challenge for Fall Tri's (Page 11)

I have to admit. Looking at a twinkie is more appealing than looking at my own arse  

That's also 2 challenges I've lost but it's the taking part that counts, right!? Right!?  

Thank you everyone for a wonderful challenge! DONTO--you have been the most awesome organizer and team member. Super, super thank yous for the hard work, inspiration, and helping to make us better triathletes.

I hope ROW is in for an upset victory ... we'll see ...

I just squeaked by with +5 minutes over the swim, and a comfy +45 minutes over the bike.

Finished for TEAM EAST!!!

Bike : 301.65 miles (100 %)

Swim: 10,631.2 meters ( 132% ) -- I swear I wasn't sandbagging- I had no idea I would end up swimming this much!!

Awwww, she already put the twinkitar up.

And yes, it's the taking the challenge part that counts!! At least in my book!

Okay, send me a PM on how to change to a twinkie and I will geterdone.

Thanks all for the challenge even though I hate not fulfilling my end of the bargain...drat. 

Sorry just had to do that previous one!!!

CONGRATS TO CENTRAL TEAM for pulling out a very solid finish to take the win, way to go y'all!!!

World takes 2nd, followed by East then West.  Thanks to everyone who stepped up to push themselves this past month for this challenge.  Even if you did not meet you goals, ($hit happens) you but forth efforts that will payoff.  Thanks to all for the compliments sent my way, I truly appreciate it.  Now on to the Oct Run challenge, if not, the 3rd Annual December swim challenge will be my next endeavor so if your interested mark your calenders and I'll see you then...

Well, I guess I'm a "Twinkie" too.  Geesh...I hate losing a Challenge. But I'll get it changed tonight. I hope to have better luck in Oct. or I may never have a normal avatar

Chris....also member of a "Twinkie Team"

Donto - Thanks for organizing this and doing all the spreadsheet work!

I enjoyed the challenge. It definitely made more work out more than I would have otherwise.

Now, however, I'm still in "Swim / Bike" mode, and I need to change to "Run" mode for the October Challenge! (Running isn't easy for me, either!)

Having lost the challenge, my Twinkietar is now displayed for all to see.

 LOL!  That's great.   You'll be a hit on all the forums.   (Or will they be hitting on you?  Probably that too.)

Great picture.  I didn't see that one while I was poking through Google's Twinkie images.

mykle15 - 2007-10-01 4:43 PM DONE for the East Team!!

Swim: 18,000 m = 100%
Bike: 342 mi = 114%

Also threw in 109 mi of running for good measure

This was great for me. I really don't think I would have reached the swim goal on my training schedule if I didn't feel like I was being held accountable by my fellow Easterners...and, of course, just wanting to crush everyone else!

I agree. This challenge was GREAT for me. It really made me push hard on both the swimming and the biking. Unfortunately, we are going to be Twinkies for the next month. I am uploading my TwinkieTar as I type this. I am sure that LastCall will be doing her EVIL LAUGH when she reads this.

he he he {evil laugh}!  That will teach you to talk smack to someone as evil as me - LOL

A member of the twinkie team??? awwwww - you look good with a twinkitar!

I LOVE IT!!!!

That's ok.  I sneaked onto your team's forum, and left a gift for you.  Muhahahahaha!  (Yes, that's supposed to be an evil laugh.)

I swam again today.  I'm stuck in swim/bike mode.  LOL
