Wind Chill Warriors (Team 3) - January Challenge (Page 16)

Hey guys,

Here are the procedures for dropping "missing" people or changing goals due to illness, injury, etc.

First off, please don't remove anyone from the spreadsheet. That's for the Challenge Organizer (me, this month) to do. The reason is --> It's up to the Challenge Organizer to determine what rules will be followed, and apply them uniformly across all the teams. That way, different teams aren't doing different things, etc.

That said, here's the procedure for my challenges. (Again, different organizers have different procedures, so this is just for the challenges that I put together....)

When people seem to have disappeared:
1) The Team Captain lets me (the Challenge Organizer) know.
2) The Team Captain sends a PM to the missing person. (But only the team captain does this. That way, the person doesn't feel like he/she is being stalked.)
3) If the person doesn't reply within a few days, the Team Captain lets me know.
4) I'll check the person's logs and determine their last login date. Based upon that, I'll set a date for dropping the person. If the person hasn't checked in by that date, I'll remove the person from the spreadsheet.

If it's the Team Captain who has disappeared, feel free to select a new captain!

When people have been sick or injured (or just overwhelmed with life), but do NOT want to drop out of the challenge, I'll let them revise their goal. There are a few different ways to do this, but for sickness/injury, here's one way:
(Original goal) x (Days that you COULD work out) / (Days in the month) = Revised goal

For example: January has 31 days. Say your goal was 50 miles, but you missed 6 days due to illness/injury.
50 miles x (25 days that you COULD work out) / (31 days in Jan.) = 40 miles revised goal

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Eh, not so much. Lots of people on the other teams are getting sick or hurt, too. Maybe we're all cursing each other? LOL

Actually, I think it's just winter. We need for Spring to arrive soon!

I vote for that!

The only way I can watch biggest looser is if I am on my bike!

Hey Team! This week has been a write off...after med student conference (aka...Banff drink and dancefest) and the week of the endocrine final...training got shunted...

Tomorrow the training will return! Muhahahahahahahahahaah!

Glad to hear everyone is o.k.  Make sure you have the doc check you out...and take time getting back to it.  Not worth it to aggravate anything.  Goals can definitely be adjusted.  Take care!

My knee is definitely not 100% today.  But I did a nice slow 3.5 mile on the treadmill and felt pretty good.  Tomorrow is swimming so that should be good.  DH  has come down with a cold, so now I just need to avoid catching that! 

Take care Wind Chill Warriors!

Workouts today...  Made up for missing yesterday....

Go Warriors.. We can do this just a few more days and the end of the month (9)... We can do this.

Did a walk/strength yesterday and already got my bike in for today. Now just off to do core...

This will put me over 2/3rds of the way to my goal. Right on schedule... (Yes I will use the last day to finish)...

Who is with me for over 2/3rds. Remember to post your totals in the spreadsheet... If we don't we might not keep the top spot.

Let's go team..

I can't even IMAGINE 16 miles!  My longest to date is 5 miles.  Good luck tomorrow!

Way to GO!  Yeppers, I too am over 2/3 of the way to my goals.  Yeahhh!

Otter - I will let D001 know so you can reduce your goals.

Team - I had Jenni4 removed from the spreadsheet. Since she wasn't posting I mentioned it to D001 and found out that she got hurt skiing this past weekend and will be on crutchs for 3 weeks. So she has been removed from the Team roster.

Please let me know if anyone else needs me to talk to D001.

Thanks,
Stacie

Since you have specific workouts planned ---> You can revise your goal by leaving out those missed workouts.

For example, if you'd planned 10 runs of 5 miles each, but missed one session:
(9 sessions that you could do) x (5 miles per session) = 45 miles revised goal

P.S. "Dee's math?" Does it go in the same category as calculus? LOL

Wow..... Hope it decides to depart soon!

Hey Team!

So after I finished my final yesterday I did a swim, bike and core. Today it looks like a 90min run and prob a bike...its only about -5C outside...so not too bad for a run...i think its a bit breeze..oh well..

I'm currently compiling my run playlist!

I do not want to quit on the team, I just need to adjust my goals for days missed. 
Original planned workouts for the month was 13 in each catagory.  Goals were 9 run and bike and 7 swim.
So I will need to adjust bike and run 1 for 1 for each workout I miss, and swim 1 for every 2 I miss.  So if I do not get back I would be 8 of 9 in bike, 9 of 9 in run and 3 of 5 in swim.  So sorry team I am not at 100% of goals.

Dee, do I adjust now, or wait and see how long this thing takes to pass, because I do not want to artificially raise or lower our team score.
