Yikes!  Donto, Cat.  Need to dumb down my goal.  Found out pool schedules for December.  I will be missing 2 major swim workouts toward the end of the month between Christmas and New Years (both about 2,900 yd workouts).

Too late to revise goal to 13,000 yds?

On that front, we're at 69 people so far and wouldn't doubt that we may reach 100. So additional volunteers for captain's are wanted, check that, needed!

All you will need to do is log up you teams weekly totals in a team spreadsheet (I'll set up the team spreadsheets with hyperlinks to each team members log, example attached) and post it on Mondays to the Captains thread (unless I get time to look at the Google deal). We'll keep team sizing reasonable at about 10 or so, it doesn't take but 5-10 minutes to update the team spreadsheet once you get the hang of it.

Master Elf - kagphin

(Assistant Master) Elf 1 - Donto

Elf 2- Sappho96

OK, I can be an Elf.

(Sounds like I need another avatar change though. LOL)

still not sure how far yet but just re-iterating my willingness to be captain and i believe i'm a talker so does that mean i get that crazy scottish lassie? thinking team skinny members enders shadow and somebody else might be willing to be looked after by me.

should we all have avatars of famous swimmers? karen pickering here please - yummy i presume you'll want to bagsy the inimitable mr thorpe?

Sappho96,

I have you tagged as a captain.

Elf, volunteering for duty. I even have elf ears. Spokes will confirm after this weekend (or I'll try to post a pic ...)

Donto can have Ian Thorpe. I won't even take Phelps: Lochte here. Or maybe Amanda Beard ... now there is something about her ...

Napoleon Dynamite quote? "Pedro offers you his protection." Yanti does, too.

well, I was all set to volunteer for elf duty but it looks like Yanti has it if we're on the same team (can't do a challenge without Yanti and Chrissie) Oh, is it too late to ask for dexter on our team?  If it is, I'll live with it, he's just been a buddy through some rough patches and I can't imagine having to compete against a friend and all..Are there penalties for the challenge if it isn't met?  Please, no leg shots or full bathing suit shots...and now for something completely different (what?  I don't know)

he's just fussing cause the Nibbins have signed him up against his will and he's trying to get out of it.  Spokes, 50 metrs is a whole 2 laps, you can do that in a month

why thankyou, Yanti...I was told a long time ago that I looked more like the grinch when I smiled but I think Spokes is acting grinch-like so that's his "mascot" role--remember the grinch wound up giving Christmas back to Whoville so Spokes WILL have to swim the 50 meters Donto put there for him

Can I still get in the challenge? And I have to be on an opposite team from Dexter....Isn't there some law that says one must compete against a sibling?

If I can get in put me in for 12,000 yds. I am visiting relatives christmas week, and the pool is closed for Hanukkah!

Your in!

We're at 72 and counting.

Thanks to the Elf's stepping up...BTW, we still need 3 more but will need to wait until Cat pots the teams.

Cat,

I will volunteer to be an elf if one is still needed. After a year of Challenges I guess it is time to step up to the plate. And I even changed my ink to bleu for the swim Challenge. Finally I get to change my avatar, I'm about sick of my body parts on the site.

I don't know, I think sitting in a germ infested hot tub would be skankier than swimming in an overly chlorinated pool.  I'd take those 50 meters, Spokes
