Team Horny Melons (Four-Is-More Challenge) (Page 16)

mchally - 2008-08-29 11:19 PM A teams challenge "score" is based on the percentage of your goals that have been completed. The team with the highest completion percentage wins. If we exceed our goals, the team score will be above 100%.

 

Well.... Good try, but no.... If you reach 100%, you've reached 100%. This is to prevent people from setting low goals, then doing their regular training and saying, "Look! I'm at 400% for the month! Woohoo!" That said, during the final week of the challenges, I've been known to offer "extra incentive" where people can go slightly over 100% to help out their team. But there's never a guarantee that this option will be offered. Which means that everyone needs to work hard to reach their goals.

Really-I thought that I read the results of a previous challenge with a team reaching 104%.  

Sorry for the bad information.  I hope that everyone is having a great day. 

Good Afternoon! (and good evening to those out east). I have been busy today helping a friend get out of his apartment. He was out in time and passed inspection with flying colors so he gets his deposit back.

Currently he is without a place. I contacted a friend of mine with a huge house on a nice property near Dave's school/work. Plus she is gone for the month(most likely longer-she also has an Island home and property in Richmond, VA. She said that he is welcome to stay there.

I am very excited for him. He will have a nice place to live and secure storage for his babies...the Cervelo and his new magnesium frame bike building project. Oh, I forgot the other two bikes as well. Did I mention that he is a triathlete?

One of these days I will get him to help me with some projects around the house.

Gerald!  Hello!!!

hey guys - Gerald may not be chatty, but he kicks some serious Azzz!!!

Hey everyone - please update your table to welcome Gerald (if you already haven't)

ummmmm,  so do we have a captain?

Welcome, Gerald! You look like a righteous Horny Melon.

Everyone--thank you SO MUCH for all your inspires and messages and support. I really can't thank you enough. It's been very dark and it's teensy slowly getting better, but those of you who have been there know that "teensy slowly" means everything when what you're going through seems like vast nothingness.

I will be halving my September goals, to be realistic, and submit that any walking, cycling or swimming (doesn't have to be planned training) counts toward my goal.

I was able to take a walk today and it was glorious.

Hi Yanti!

glad to hear there was some 'sunshine' in your day!

Dear sweet Bethie Love. Thanks so much. The inspire about how dogs greet each other--HA! HA! HA! (Wait, that's NOT what we're supposed to do? Maybe that's why my social life stinks--oh, I crack myself up ...)

It's nice to have some sunshine again ...

Yanti!  So good to "see" you today.  Glad things are lookng better today.  I love good days, if for no other reason than you can really appreciate the moments in the day for what they are.

Judi!!!

I can't begin to thank you enough for all your notes, PMs, cheers, prayers, inspires ...

You are more than welcome my friend.  Some time when we have a million hours I'll share my struggle.  Just want you to know, I have been there and know the difficulty.

Although I know some details, I can only imagine what you went through. The thoughts you have had for me are so kind and so perfect, which could only come from someone who does truly know what it feels like to be there ... and come out the other side. That has been a big inspiration to me.
