triguynewbie - 2008-09-01 5:25 PM Yes I am a Javelin reject. I though I sold myself pretty well on the little application too. Granted I had only done one Tri at the time but I listed about 10 running races I did and listed the 4 other triathlons and Marathon I had on my race schedule. They say they don't care how fast you are just how active. I thought a 5 race season with a bunch of running races would do, but I digress. I even told them that I ride a Javelin bike, which I do. Not that it really matters but it didn't help. Hence I am a reject.

I don't know anything about team Javelin, but that seems pretty lame -

Happy Labor day night. Pausing before we go back out to some friends house.

My new chart doesn't work. I click on Lyssa's name and get glitter works banner maker. Which is fitting but not what I was wanting to do. and the link to the thread doesn't work. Did I do something stupid when I tried to copy it? 

Later. Have fun all!

You didn't do anything stupid.  The links are all simplified when the computer "reads" the html.  Depending on where you copy it from you may loose part of a page's address.  Because it came from this thread it deleted some of the duplicate address, thus when you move it to your page it is missing part of the threads address and cannot find it.  I will pm you the table in HTML so (hopefully) it will not remove any address components.

previous post didn't work

 

here is a way that you can try to make the forum page link work in your table:

first copy the "http:/...(everything in the box that is on the top of this screen).
then
open the goal section of your control panel

click the little "HTML" button above the text box

scroll though all that strange text, you are looking for the section that says

a xhref="...." (but without the x that this message keeps throwing in)

replace whatever is in the quotation marks with the text you copied(in the first step).

Make sure the only thing you replace is what is inside the quotations. Do not erase the quotation marks.

you want it to say

a xhref="http.....everything that is in the browser box on the top of this screen...."

(but without the x)

I know that this is rather convoluted, but I don't know the easy way.  I'm sure that Dee will enlighten us before too long.

totally insane!! all i said in my app (since i actually thought they accepted everyone and it didn't matter) was that i did one race last year, was signed up for two this year, but was maybe going to pick up a couple more. that was it!! when did you apply? maybe they just weren't taking anymore for this season? i mean, you're paying THEM right? so why the heck would they reject you?? it's totally weird!! i can't get over it! seriously, i've been thinking about it all day!!

No, you didn't do anything. There are "shortcuts" in the links. Hold on, I'll clean it up....

Here is revised a table, with links that will work "from anywhere." (I cleaned up the code. Then I removed the shortcuts, and turned them into links with the full addresses.)

There are two ways to copy it into your logs.
1) If you have the "fancy option stuff" turned on, you should be able to highlight the table and copy it directly into your logs.
2) If you don't have the "fancy option stuff" turned on, you can copy the HTML code, which I'll paste in the next post.

To turn on the fancy stuff:

Go to your Control Panel....
Scroll down to: "Use rich edit box when composing messages?
Change the option to "TinyMCE Editor"

And to turn off the fancy stuff:

Go to your Control Panel....
Scroll down to: "Use rich edit box when composing messages?
Change the option to "No"

Hey, Horny Melons! All this talk of melon pressing and Hooters and T.I.T.S. is getting me very excited ... for this challenge

So sweet to see Mike reporting in.

Thank you all again for stopping by my blog, and here, with good wishes. Slowly slowly I'm doing better. Your kindness helps so much.

I went to the spreadsheets but was unable to change my goals or put in any numbers for hours/sessions completed. Any advice?

FWIW to state here (as I did earlier) I'm halving all my goals.

Good morning Yanti, I had the same trouble with the spreadsheet. Not sure if it is different than usual or I just forgot how to do it There is a tiny blue icon in the bottom right of the page that says "edit this page" or something to that effect. You have to click that option to edit your goals and enter workouts.

I am getting the kids ready for school now but plan on a long run when I get home in an hour or so. "Long" is still open for interpretation at this point I am not feeling it It might entail a trip to the mailbox or a 10 miler. My sleep and nutrition have been all wacked out lately.

That is why I needed this challenge so I will stop making excuses.

I kind of feel like I don't know a lot of you in this group and that you probably don't know a lot about me. So here is my quick bio: I am 29 and I live in central Fl directly between Tampa and Orlando. I am married to my High School Sweetheart from 10th grade and have three beautiful little girls 10, 7, and 4. I am a Police K9 handler at night and a General Contractor with a small construction company by day. My wife has been ill for a little over two years now so in her words I am raising for children.

I decided to do my first try in late March and completed one tri so far. Most of my training is on my own and I have my first Oly coming up in less than three weeks **freaking out***about that. I am happy to be a Horny Melon however in my case the Melons usually come before the Horny.

Sorry for the long post. Have a great day all.

Hey Mike. Nice to meet you. So really, how do you have time for all of that? I am amazed. I am sorry your wife has been ill for so long. You all are too young for that.

I too don't know many (or any) of you all so here is a brief bio: I live in the mountains of NC. I am 48. I work for the state making people clean up hazardous waste. i am also involved in local politics and am on the board of a couple of really active non-profit organizations. At the beginnng or this year was out of shape and becanme ticked off that I wasn't/couldn't do all the stuff I had been - mt biking, kayaking, hiking. I wasn't doing them because of too much else going on and being out of shape. This was a catch 22 that wasn't getting better. So I started running and am slowly getting fit again. I decided on a goal of a Tri this september (3 weeks away that I am freaked out about as well). We will see from there. I am having fun training, I will let you all know if I like racing or not.

Enough about me. Have a great day Melons!

Good morning Melons. I'm happy to have this challenge start! I got a few run miles in yesterday which is my focus this month. I'm running again tonight.

I wasn't going to count my commuter bike miles when I ride to the bus stop (3 miles each way). Every now and again I take the long route and make them hurt. I'll count those.
