ShawnC13 - 2007-12-29 7:20 PM This is my first challenge I am participating in so I will need help on how to enter stuff in to get registered in time for the weekly totals
Hi ShawnC13! I'll explain how to access the Google spreadsheets on Jan 1st when the Challenge begins. I'll also remind everyone when their "weekly totals" are due. Also, each team will select a Team Captain. That person will help people enter their amounts - or, if someone can't use Google (due to browser incompatibility, or any other reason), the Team Captain will enter it. The spreadsheet is going to be REALLY easy to use this time around. There is only ONE place that you have to enter a number. And that number is just your cumulative "total" to date. Dee

she's right - I've looked at them - and...............................

if I can figure it out - anyone can

Dee,

If the door is still open, I wish to join the swimming by time group.  My goal for January will be 10 hours.  I will not do running (100+ miles) or biking (150+ Miles) because I will make all those challenge or not, it is the swimming that needs the challenge.  So, if you will still have me, I will give it my best!!!! Emerson

PS:  Dee, do you live on-line?

Hi Emerson!

Yes, I live on BT! (As do several other people, "whom shall not be named.")

Ten hours of swimming, it is!

Hm, swim-by-time is part of "Swim Team A." So swim on over to them! (Eric is on that team, too.)

Welcome to the Challenge forum! (It's kind of like a black hole. Pulls you in, and never lets you leave...)

January Challenge Teams to date:
Here are the team lineups so far. (These are the people who have declared goals.)

If the teams becomes large, I'll break them into multiple teams. For example, Running-distance has become 4 teams.

If a team stays small, I'll combine it with another. (So if you're the only person on a team so far, don't worry about it.) This is NOT a problem, and not something that anyone should worry about.... It'll all work out in the end. Swimmers will be together. Runners will be together. Cyclists will be together.

milaminute - 2007-12-29 1:01 PM Thanks for organizing this, Dee and Beth!!! 

x2!

So Team B...team name...what'll it be?  I guess we can't use They Who Shall Not Be Named again (even though I DID come up with that one)...do we align off of someone on the team, like BunnyB?  Maybe the Trigger Happy Bunnies?  Or Mila?  The Plaid Ninjas (with Noz's permission of course)...an attack against an opposing team...like Kristen's...The Mighty Ferret Kickers?

The Muffin Men?

I've got a couple more, but don't want to give 'em away...

I'm glad you went with Muffin Men instead of Muffin Tops, though, ummm... I have girl parts so I'm not sure "men" works .  I think Team Mila has a nice ring to it or Team Tiara but I'm slightly biased.  Tiny Plaid Ninjas are always in style and I like Bunnies... nice, evil, whatever.  Oh, but I just can't kick Kristen or her ferret alter ego .

Well, my 20 week training plan just started, so a January challenge is just the thing I need to get me on the straight and narrow!  And since I've only run and biked the past few months, I think it's probably time to jump in the pool...

Best put me down for total time, since I'm still pretty slow and my distance would look sad.

GOAL:   4 hours swimming

(My plan actually only calls for 3 hours swimming, but I figure I can squeeze in one more hour without any problems.)

I think it's already been decided that the biking time goal team is Team T.I.T.S.  At least thats what Yanti told me.    I gotta say, we've got one FIERCE team!

I didn't read through all ten pages ( Gee, you guys have a lot of time on your hands!), so I may have missed some of the nuances here. But if it's not too late, put me down for 500 cycling miles (on the, uh, D.I.T.S., I guess). In 2008, I want to do that as a monthly minimum, and this challenge will help keep me honest as we get out of the chute.

Where is that spreadsheet of which you speak?

What? You didn't read it all? You mean, you actually have a life outside BT? (Is there such a thing? If so, is it allowed?)

Got you down for 500 miles on the DITS team. (It could be worse, at least it doesn't start with a Z....)

Once the challenge starts, I'll publish the spreadsheets on Google, along with directions on how to update them. (It's quick and easy, I promise.)
