You know we could always start at the moon!!! It's only 300,000 mi. or so... ( I can see it now, comet floating in space! Ha Ha.) But if not, I'm in Dayton, OH. How are we going to divy up teams (red/blue) (I think staggering strong, with inexperienced, strong, .... so that the teams seem even. Perhaps by last years running, biking, or swimming totals? And will there be captains? Do we need captains or are we just going to be accountable to you saling, like weds weigh-ins?

i think we should all end up at enders so after such a long race we could all break into her wine collection and get all liquored up.


Dude. It's a long way from Washington to Virginia.

But if you get here, you don't need to break in - I'll let you have it.



No kidding, he'd probably have to Airbus it!!! or hitchhike!

Totals from 2007

Bike: 93.25 mi
Run: 38.63 mi


I know not the best but these totals are starting sometime in Nov. My 2008 numbers aren't so great either, as I've put a lot of the traditional s/b/r training aside for P90, and P90X. But, I starting to get back into the swing of things which is why I think this challenge is such a great idea to get me grounded in Tri training again.

The logs would be easiest, but some people don't log their workouts or I can't see them since they are private.

I was thinking too that at the end of the month if a team didn't make it to the destination they would be sag wagoned so they could start the next month even again. 

Then again it may be interesting just to see where ya'll end up. 

If any one knows where that map is that we can post locations let me know.  Maybe it will even track progress.  If not I will post in general forum.

Saling, I went to the home page of BT and inputed map in the search menu. Some stuff came up and this is a URL from a thread about maps, not sure if it's exactly what your looking for but at the very least it might point in the right direction...

Ok, here are my ideas based on the points being offered:

% of weight loss/gain - sailing, you could look at the logs and break out people based on how their weight loss has progressed this year to even this part out.

S/B/R - maybe people could give you what their average monthly goal is in order to keep this even between the teams

Races - everyone would need to tell you if they have races coming up because it wouldn't be fair for all of those people to be on one team

Possible additional point categories:

What about non-S/B/R workouts? Maybe give 100 points for every hour of activity?
Perhaps 100 points for every size of clothing lost (this is for some of us who don't see the movement on the scale but are noticing it in our clothing)?

And what would everyone think about having more than 2 teams? I was thinking 4-5 people on a team would make it easier to keep up with your team members.

or we could each set our own goal of where we want to get to? for me manchester to liverpool would be cool. how many times i get there and back would be amusing. for cead maybe limerick to dublin?

today i tried a protein shake in work - great idea, thanks illustrious leader  

 

just need to work on the not having a starbucks coffee and cookie in the next break

You must live in the same complex as me.  My kitchen is so small, If you stand in the middle, you can reach every appliance and the counters without moving.

I had an apt. that small once... Bedroom, living room, and kitchen less than 100 sq ft. (together). I was just thankful for a door on the bathroom.... Ah, who misses college campuses??? (NOT ME!!!)

Mak,  We are trying to come up with a challenge for us.  My idea was a "trip around the world".

First,  Everyone is not required to join in.  Just for peeps that would like a little something new.  So I guess we need to know who would like to participate.

Second,  Team size can be determined by who wants to play.

I think I am working on a map now.  Anybody want to tell me about where they are I will put a bubble.
