Dec. Swim Challenge: CAPTAINS ONLY please (Page 2)

Hey all,

Here's the FL team week 2 results attached.  Thanks to those that have posted today.

I'll compile all the results when I receive the others and hopefully have it up sometime tomorrow.

Here's Team Canada's Spreadsheet.

Alrighty then! 

Well here's week #2 based on the posted results. Kudos to teh Crazy Canucks nice work!  The fish are sucking some serious bait butt!  I'll post the results over on the main list,  Let the smack begin...

Sorry to post this so late, but we had an update to our totals.  New spreadsheet is attached.  Here are the top summary numbers:

Swim plus Run Indv Percentages: 37.97%
Team's Overall Goal Met: 0%
Team's Aggregated Percentage: 18.99%

And another update.  Sorry about all these this week.  On the plus side, I have all of my team members reporting now!  Yeah! 

Here's where the Mid-Atlantic Crabs are:
Swim plus Run Indv Percentage: 37.58%
Team's Overall Goal Met: 0%
Team's Aggregated Percentage: 18.79%

I attached the newest version of our spreadsheet. 

My missing swimmer has turned up!  She was off line for a couple of weeks due to computer problems.  What I will do is log her total for the month in for this week so as to not mess up the previous spreadsheets if you guys are willing to agree to that (and are aware that her totals are for several weeks all wrapped into one and there isn't any funny business going on there).

Thanks

Sound fine to me. 

Our missing swimmer is still MIA.

My personal take would be it is OK to drop them as long as they quit before they log anything.  Illness and injury happens and I'm feeling compassionate today (even though i know there might be soem on my team that wouldn't take that view).

Ditto Steve.  Stuff happens, a cold and injury are some of the things I mentioned in the beginning and its up to a consensus of the team captains.  So far you have 2/5!

I do not have a problem with the team making up the yardage but here is the catch. If the yardage is made up by others in the group then it would be put in a separate category which would not allow them to be at 100%. By that I mean, say everyone is 100% except one person on the team and the yardage was made up by the others on the team. You have a (% of goal + % complete + % of overall yardage)/3. What does that do? That would still let the teams that are at 100% across the board win the challenge b/c even if the yardage is made up by the others,  the team still cannot be at 100%. They could however move up a place or two. Thoughts?

Team Canada spreadsheet updated.

Am still waiting on a ruling as to whether we can drop jonow6.  He injured himself before the month started and has not logged any workouts in any sport.

I do not support this.  Sure this is a team game but in the end it is about individuals achieving their own goals regardless of the circumstances.  All past challenges I have been a part of, this has not been allowed.  If someone has achieved their goals already then they totally underestimated the goal.  I got injured in last Feb run challenge, then when I was running again I got the flu.  People wanted to give me their extra miles but it was nixed as that is not the game.  So to keep the favor of past challenges I really have to say no, injury & illness happens in life.

I'd like to see more dicussion on this though...

Dump him! Same for Waterdogg.  Right now the spreadsheet is not logging "ready" or "NaN" into the averages so dropping the person will not change the results. 

I still have an issue with the MIA swimmer.  Still has not reviewed my PM and no logs so I think it is time to also dump them.

If they injured themselves before the month started then why were they on the roster to begin with? Just wondering. Maybe they thought it would heal faster?

I threw the idea out of "donating" yards mainly since it was brought up by one of my less achomplished swimmers who was very motivated and energized by the challenge and reached thier goal early. They swam more and farther than they thought possible and yes probably underestimated thier goal but they had no idea what was possible. It would be a form of encouragment to them to beable to help some one else out.

I am perfectly OK with not doing this as in the other challenges I have been in this hasn't been allowed.  I would say that we can drop swimmers if they have no logs for the month (running biking strength included). This might sound a little hard core and I am only proposing a possible line in the sand.  I am certianly up for discussion as to how to draw that line.

You guys are all doing a great job.  Achallenge like this wouldn't work without this kind of record keeping.  Job well done!

I think that was his thought process (that he would heal faster).
