August - 2nd Annual Boy's vs Girls Swim / Run Challenge !! (Page 13)

Oh yes, thanks to everyone and this challenge, I was able to do 20 X 100's on 1:30 interval and averaged between 1:05 to 1:12 per 100's in a meter pool. Last time I saw that was when I was a swimmer in the 70 and 80's. Ouch, did I just date myself.

Great job to everyone else improving. This has been my best month in training so far. Thanks for the girl's on placing the pressure on me everyday. All I have to do is think "Banana Hammock" I DON't THINK SO. Get out of bed, and get moving Frog!!

Wow, now that's HOT. That's REALLY, REALLY HOT.

Now that's even HOTTER! No way are we gonna miss that! Go Ladies!!!!!

OK, I think I modified & hopefully debugged the Spreadsheet to reflect the dropped Girl player and worked out the actual totals without having to change any of the other girlies original goals.  We had one guy offer a correction to his run totals, so the following now reflects the Week 3 results after everything was said and done.  Dang this is nice and close!

On a personal note, I think I found an answer to the Plantar Fasciitas that has been bugging me.  So I have ~2.8 miles of running to do each day to get to my modified run goal and ~ 20 minutes of swimming each day to get my swim goal.  Doesn't sound like much but I hate swimming, well I like swimming I just hate the first couple of steps of getting into the water deal .  I may have a new habit now of diving into the backyard pool after the kids have gone to school.  Helps that the pool water is 87F not 75F...

I believe the term is "RUNNING SCARED" boyz!  We've got 'em right where we want 'em.  Now let's bring it home so we're the ones enjoying some interesting new avatars from the guys.

Good news from the doc:  I have vertigo from a virus which should clear up in 2-3 weeks -- actually the good news is that I can keep swimming!  Whoo hoo!

I feel like spending 3 hours in the pool tomorrow (...too bad I have to work 10 hours).

P.S.  Glad to hear you are finding relief for you PF, Donto.

I love Donto...er...I mean I love Donto's spreadsheets too!

Everyone have a great weekend, it's the last one to get in any serious challenge training as next Friday is it !

Thanks for the spreadsheet love y'all!

Is it too early to decide what's up for next month!!!

my totals for this week:

swim 4400 yds

run 9.53 miles

totals for the month:

swim: 13,900 yds (600 yds to go)

run: 29.69 miles (10.31 miles to go)

i should be able to complete my swim yardage tomorrow with an OWS so all next week's swimming will be gravy (or picking up MM's slack) and i can bang out 2 of the run miles tomorrow as well...

let's go girls!

Here are my distances for the month so far:

     Swim: 41,700 m

     Run: 59.17 miles

 All right, I have reached mjy swim distance, so I will work on adding some mileage. Put me in for 7,000m to help our compadre. I'm running tight on the run, so I don't know there. But if I go over, please use that extra.

Also, this is for Donto. I was looking that the spreadsheet has 43,000 for yards, but my distances that I enter is in meters. Can you make sure that I have an automic adjustment in those blocks. Thanks.

Overall, let's get rolling gent's, as we have less then 1 week. I may train on my day off on monday, but I'm running close to burnout, so I don't know where to stand. Let's go boy's, I think that everyone both boys and girls are running for it. This should be an interesting week next week. Have a great weekend.

Yep, I can pick up more swimming.  I have 1700 left to make my own goal, so anything after that will help out the team.  I'll finish for myself on Monday and have some extra, too. 

Thanks, Donto!!!!!

Greg, sorry to hear about the infex, and hope all goes well pre- and in-surgery.

Technically my Sunday's swim would have been on Saturday if it were in the States, but it wasn't, so it's not. Huh??? Well, it'll all get tallied one way or the other. Here's my stats, not including Sunday:

                    Swim (yd)            Run (mi)

Pledged       30,000                 50

Done           25,000                 55.5

So far so good.

Stats so far (08/25/07):

Run Goal:        10 hrs

Run to date:    9 hrs 40 min

Swim goal:        12 hrs

Swim to date:    10 hrs 28min 

Ok folks, here are the stats as of this afternoon:

Swim: 25,300 of the 29,700 pledged

Run: 90.05 of the 77 miles...that is 100% of my total, plus miles for missing member (13.05 miles)

Will get the rest of the swim miles in with out a prob. So come on ladies...we can pull this out!! I don't know about you but I sure do not want to be on BT in my Swim suit Have a great week!

"Who wears Speedos?!? <da, da, da, da, da da-da>  WE wear Speedos!  Who's going to have their pictures posted?  The BOYS will!!!"

Ok my totals for the week (ends on Saturday right?)

2300 yds - swim

4.25 miles - run

I still have some training to do this week, but it is starting off great with an OWS today of 800 yds, and a 3 mile run. Then swam in my In-laws pool (approximately 80 yds)
