BT Swim Challenge (Page 14)

Well, if you want to get technical about it...both teams backed down this past week.  The guys swam 22% less collectively than week one and the women swam 18% less.  I know I personally was ~4500m down from where I would have been if I hadn't let the girls talk me into a rest day.  No worries though...I'll get another 20km in over this next 2 weeks and I'm sure the other men will focus on the task at hand...spanking the ladies.  SKIN TO WIN...get those legs waxed!

amiine - 2005-05-16 10:32 AMOk fellows it is time to pick it up. As any other Triathlon race it is a matter of starting slow, get into a rythm and save energy for the last push. The Chyck team is on the lead for the moment but with our last push we will beat them for sure as they will run out fo gas 

Ain't gonna happen boyz. We have been starting slow and are now in OUR last push, and we chycks know how to push at the end like no pushin' you've ever seen! We don't run out of gas we just keep pickin' it up and kickin' your teams sorry slow ass! (oh my, I have never trashed talked like that before, kind of liberating and naughty)

Yes, by all means, keep focusing on spankings & skin... the girls will continue to focus on swimming their laps... and the results will speak for themselves (as they already are). :-p

Thanks, I think I'll just put it in manually..just didn't want to double post-the guys are having trouble enough w/out us padding our workouts ; )

I had a witty response all typed up but decided to keep my mouth shut (guys can actually do that ya know ) and let my log do the talking.

I can't hear you....too busy beating last weeks total swimming in two days....

Double post....sorry. Hard typing with wet, water-logged fingers and all....cheers.

Sweetpea, it's not called overachieving if you aren't achieving your goal. And, no, nobody pointed it out because this Challenge was always about Meeting One's Goals as opposed to muscles competing against muscles. 

The boys have 2 whole weeks to cowboy-up and meet their goals. It's a little early to start giving concession excuses already, isn't it? Now go do your laps!

*smack*

Yes, yes, I understand you were grasping at any silver lining you could get your hands on. Understandable, given the boys' dismal  pathetic   curiously underachieving standings at half-time. Don't be disheartened! There is still hope that your team will pull it together! *snort* *snicker*

Me, feeling the heat? Ummm... I'm at 54% of goal, the CHYCKS ARE WINNING and our spirits are high! 

I'm wondering if you are projecting your fears or merely delusional. Hey, whatever gets you through your laps, it's all right, it's all right. :-p

Oooohhhhhhhhhhhh sure sure sure... It can't be that we are simply hitting our goals... it must be that we've cheated in some way. If you check my log, you will see that last month I swam less than 7000 yards and the month before around 10,000 (I think), so I don't think anyone could accuse me of underpledging. In fact, COREDUMP's advice is the reason I began swimming five times a week!!! (Dude, you've been outted.)

Regardless of what you think the women did... it still does not explain why the men are performing below their goal - does it?

See my previous post.
