Champion  23360      Taser-World |  Subject: RE: 5 for FightingNovember Challenge - Week 3 Results We're into the FINAL WEEK of the challenge now! November is now 83.3% completed. Are you meeting your goals? Even though we're organized into teams, your goals for the November Challenge are really INDIVIDUAL ones. Therefore, I'm listing the results by INDIVIDUALS this week. That way, everyone will know exactly where they stand. There's a good chance that I missed someone, so if you're supposed to be on a list but aren't -- well, it wasn't intentional. (My eyes started to cross after awhile.) If your name is missing, please DO brag about your progress with your teammates, so you can get the congratulations that you deserve.

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting Happy, um, Monday? Just four more days until the weekend! (Why are you throwing things at me?) Been wondering what all the teams have been discussing? Here's an update! Moscateers: Saling4 has been drawing up plans to build a pool for Dee, and a swim-up-bar for Kristen. Thanks Saling - you're the greatest! Kristen's dryer has been doubling as a UFO. (Or perhaps a UFO has been doubling as her dryer?) Comet_The_Dog has a feeling that his wife wouldn't appreciate a new dryer for Christmas. Vigilantes: Rmaldon240 stayed home to watch the Thanksgiving Day parade on TV while eating pie, ice cream and cookies. Irongirl39 walked enough to burn off some broccoli calories. Fielding is in Malibu interviewing people affected by the fires. ScotinSeattle won't reveal the contents of a package sent to her, but we know it contained lots of chocolate! (Good thing is wasn't hot outside.) Turkey Terrors: TriChica is looking for advice on fixing an unhappy rotator cuff. Gygyhawk went to the beach, while Artemis stayed home to cook and watch TV. Nhmorgan met all his November goals, and decided this merited some Thanksgiving gluttony. 5forFighting: Rzzqb8 tried to run, but discovered she'd brought two right-footed shoes! (Maybe she should have read the Turkey Terrors recent thread about barefoot running!) In an ironic twist, Rzzqb8 announced last week that the only way she could meet her weightloss goal was to come down with a stomach virus. Take a guess what happened to her this week. Rkreuser had an unfortunate run-in with some gym equipment. Twisnibbins: During the last 26 days, this team (and its visitors) have written more than 8263 posts. Yes, you read that correctly. The only way to keep up with this team is to read a separate thread, "The Chronicles of Twisnibbins, aka Nibbins Notes" in which Team Captain Beth writes thread summaries. Hector did his first Tri, and was rewarded with pics. Kendra has learned how to make her phone vibrate. And Max showed off his nail polish collection. Wild Hippos: Cat went to the dentist, and wasn't happy about it. To make it worse, she had to cancel her physio and massage appointments, so she didn't get to see many hot guys. However, Reno8 offered to send her a picture for her new photo frame. Baowolf went to see Beowulf, and wasn't impressed. Owl_Girl will be getting married in January, but still plans on participating in the December Swim Challenge. AmbulanceDriver had a vacation in North Carolina, and just signed up for her first Tri. Hard Core Tri Corps: Team Captain BunnyB is taking a cruise vacation! SoFreshSoClean swam over 5500km in one day. He now needs to decide if he wants to do well in the December Swim Challenge or on his exams. MrsUSMC has purchased a few adult-only items. (No, not what you think. Or if it is, she didn't tell us!) Zipp1 commented on the team's post count for the day, and wondered if Turkey-coma had ended. |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting Dealing with an injury or illness? Several people have requested dropping out of the Challenge due to unexpected circumstances, such as injuries or illness. Here is an alternative for you to consider: 1) Take the number of days that you DID participate. Divide that number by 30. (There are 30 days in November.) 2) Revise your goal to that percentage. For example: "Jane" originally set a goal of 100 miles of biking. She was injured after 20 days, and had to stop biking. 1) (20 days) divided by 30 = 0.67 2) (100 min) times 0.67 = 67 minutes Jane revises her goal to 67 min. Her progress for the month will be compared to this revised number. If you need to revise your goals due to illness or injury, you may do this. If you want help calculating/revising your numbers, you can PM me or your Team Captain. - Dee |

Expert 929 Hawaii | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting bhoover10001 - 2007-11-26 5:14 PM Way to go team! 3 more days for this challenge. I second that. How is everyone doing? To make my goal, I have to run 13.84 miles, swim 14,450 meters, and do three core workouts by Friday. The run and the core workouts should be doable. The swimming will be a bit of a challenge, but I'll try. What about everyone else? How much more do you have until you make your goal? For those of you who have made your goals, feel free to brag and encourage the rest of us to do the same. |

| Champion 8903 | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting I need less than 1/2 hour on the bike trainer and I will be at my goal in everything. I'm glad we had this challenge, it kept me going for the entire month and my enthusiasm carried over into being psyched for signing up for Ironman Arizona. Hope everyone has some productive last few days here to finish it up. Give it what you got!!

Master 2411 Goodyear, AZ | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting This challenge has been great for me too! I've only got 4 miles left to run and 1500 yds to swim, I need to lose one more pound. I'll wait until friday to see if I hit that goal |

Master 2055 Santa Clarita | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting I just reached my goal tonight , passing the 200 total miles. I had a secret sub goal of 80 on the run and will be focusing to reach that too before the end of the month . My thanksgiving visitors have returned home to the snow so it will be a bit easier to pencil in training session for the remaining days. Good Hunting to everyone else . |

| Regular 56 Little Elm | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting Yeah! I completed my run goal yesterday and I just got off the training completing my bike goal! The swim is still going to be a challenge, but I am not giving up quite yet. Way to go to everyone who has already completed their goals. Robin |

Expert 1022 | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting With a slight... um... redefinition of the word "Run" to now mean anything faster than a stroll, I'll get 3 of the 4 goals to 100% this month. Swimming is not quite going to happen though. |

Master 2411 Goodyear, AZ | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting Completed my running goal today. Will likely do another run tomorrow too. Just have to finish up the swimming (1500yds) and hopefully will have lost a pound when I weigh at the gym on friday. Great work guys! |

Veteran 144 Tucson | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting What a month! You can all put a fork in me 'cause this cat is done, done, done and done! With a swim and some strength work this morning I'm complete! One day left and I've hit all goals. Whew...  |

| Champion 8903 | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting I'm also over 100% in everything, as my trainer ride this morning pushed me over the top. In retrospect, I could have increased my goals in everything but the cycling, I was right about spot on with that. In warmer weather conditions, I would have put in more hours outdoors, but trainer rides are usually a lot shorter and I figured it about right.

Champion 6285 Beautiful Sonoma County | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting I'm not going to make my running goal, but I've got everything in the works to get the rest of my goals done by Friday evening. If I keep doing the same number of crunches, I'll be over my target by Friday evening. I have the plan to hit the pool again tomorrow and on Friday to make up for not going earlier in the month. I'm thinking of it as punishment. Because it is. But I earned it. I have a 27+ mile bike ride tomorrow, which'll leave me only about 10 miles on Friday. Easy. I plan to hit the weights again tomorrow evening after my swim for some light leg work, and on Friday morning for arms and back. That'll bring me to 10 for the month. A little fudging of the goal, but I can live with it. I'm sorry about the running. I think it's a combo of too high a goal and too low motivation earlier in the month. Ah... well... nothing I can do about it now but apologize to the team.

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting The November Challenge is almost over! This month's Challenge is almost over. How times flies when we're having fun! Please update your Google Spreadsheets with your final totals by "bedtime" on Saturday. This will give everyone a chance to get their last workouts in on Friday November 30th, and enter their totals the following day. You do NOT need to calculate percentages. I will do that. (Yes, you can do it if you want to....) On Sunday morning, I will download the spreadsheets and start summing up the data. IF YOUR INFORMATION ISN"T ENTERED BY THE TIME I DOWNLOAD THE SPREADSHEETS, I WILL ASSUME THAT YOU HAVE NOT MET YOUR GOALS! Team Captains - Please check your team threads on Saturday. If anyone has trouble using the Google Spreadsheets, please help them to enter their data. Run! Swim! Bike! Get those last minute workouts in! There's still time!!! Saturday is December 1st.

Expert 929 Hawaii | Subject: RE: 5 for Fighting Hey team. I hope that all is well for those who are injured and sick. May you have a speedy recovery. Dan, you and yours are still in my thoughts. Congrats goes to charge4brandon, max, van paulus, bhoover for meeting 100% of their goals!! Riorio was close to being at 100% last time I checked...maybe she's there now? Rzz had a bunch of swimming to do, but wasn't giving up. Madkat was crunching away. I'm almost there. I have to do a bit of everything today, but should hit my goals. I'm going to celebrate tonight at a wine bar. I'm pretty excited about that. Come on team, one last push towards reaching our goals!
