August - 2nd Annual Boy's vs Girls Swim / Run Challenge !! (Page 15)

Donto and all,

So far, I have only two guy's that have injuries, and from that will need mileage made up by rest of team.

   Donto w/ plantar fasciitas - This injury places for run mileage assitance and nothing else.

   So Fresh So Clean - Blood infection/Surgery - Both swim and running needed

 If I missed anyone or anything else, please advise.

For the boys, this game is still very close, and will be very interesting as to how it comes out.  I've looked at the spread sheet, and we are in trouble if you don't complete. I can help with a fair amount of swimming with probably a tentative 5.18 mile swim in the lake. All logistics are finalized, and I'm mentally very excited and ready for it. Somehow, with all the swimming this month, I feel very much ready for it. Cheers.

Ladies, I'm afraid I need some help on this challenge. I've been feeling lightheaded and dizzy for a couple days now so I'm headed to the doctor this morning.

I have 12.75 miles left to run and 4070 yards on the swim. If I find out I'm ok, I'll keep going but just sitting here typing I feel like I'm spinnning in circles. I think a round of medicine is needed before I can tackle this again.

I am in the pool tomorrow and Friday morning.  I will try to expand my planned swims to make an extra 2,000 yards.

As for running...there's where I am really "feeling" this challenge.  But I will try to add a few more miles to finish strong!

COME ON LADIES!  IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO PULL AHEAD!

Done with the run. Any extra can go towards the missing miles.    I am planning to swim 3000-3500 yds tonight and again on thursday. I need 890 yds to swim to complete my goal. The rest can be put towards the  team deficit. 

 Step it up guys it's crunch time.

 SWIM LONG.........RUN FAR

Hey Ladies, I finished my swim up yesterday!!  I'm swimming extra, too.  Right now, I'm at 33,200 meters for the month (goal was 30,000).  I should be able to get about 5,000 more in by the end of the month.  Hope that's enough to put us over.

Everyone get out there and get in as much as you can!! 

OK all,
Here's the week 4b updated results reflecting an error made on my part for a goal that was pointed out to me and also the boys 2 injuries.  It just got a bit closer!  For the final week 5 spreadsheet I will go over everone's weekly numbers again to verify I had correct inputs for all.

Have some solid training this week everyone, only 4 days left including today.

I only need 1,000 yards and 3.55 miles to finish .... both which will happen tomorrow!

C'mon men, finish strong!!!

Did an open water swim last night. Christ the water was BALTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Friday I'll be finished with some to spare for any of the girls that need to use it.

I've loved this challenge,it's really helped me with my running! I cannot wait for the next one

Ok ladies,

I am 100% on both my swim and run for the Challenge!! the stats are as follows:

Swim: 30,550 yds of 29,700 yds that leaves +850yds for the injured, I am going to be swimming every day this week. I am working on a pool deck this week so I figured that was a sign. So I'll have some more yds to addl

Run: 94.05 miles of 77 miles that leaves 17.05 miles  extra for the team and I also have to run some more later this week so I'll have a few more miles to add. I hope everyone is doing great. Now off to eat lunch and back to the deck for more fun tile work

Chris

All right all, here is a quick reminder. As per the rules:

   - Any mileage above 100% is tossed out (that is for anyone and everyone). That being said, going over 100% would be highly encouraged as this would set a new personal best for you, and thus makes it a new goal for you down the road. You are competing against yourself.

   - Any mileage over 100% can only be used for the following people:

        ~ MuscleMamma - This has been applied on the girls side. She dropped out so 50% removed and rest is transfered to team.

        ~ Donto for Plantar fassciit.. - Only running can be applied as foot only affects running and not swimming.

        ~ So Fresh So Clean for blood infection and surgery - Both swim and run.

If there was anything or anyone else, please bring up the issue. Again, this has been a lot of fun, and because some of you are at 100% doesn't mean you are done. Keep going as this new high can be used as a baseline for future challenges.

Good luck and look forward to the end of the week. FOR YOU ALL WITHOUT INJURIES, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN, AND GET MOVING AND GET IT DONE. THIS IS REALLY CLOSE, AND ANYTHING CAN GO.

Thanks Donto for keeping the mileage and yardage. Cheers.

The Challenge should end on Friday, I believe. But what is the timeline for posting our final entries?

Unless I work, I'm not usually on during the weekends so Monday AM sharp!
