April challenge? Multisport? (Page 2)

MDHillSlug - 2008-03-26 8:51 PM I've been thinking about sitting out for April to make sure I have the proper preparation for my first 2008 tri on April 20. I'll participate in a challenge only if I feel I can accomplish both.

That's the reason for the incentive of doubling either distance or time for race participation. My own calender has both a half mary and an oly on it so yes there may have been self serving in that rule but hey that's the beauty of writing the rules. Yellow line- in the TV show "Biggest Loser" the people with the lowest percentage weight loss each week fall below the yellow line, so it's just a way of deciding a break point for 'losers' vs 'winners.' Frankly everyone who participates in this and makes the effort to reach their goals is a winner but it's not a challenge if there aren't penalties of some sort. See my current avatar for example

now that was a penalty!  

Being a Giants fan I am SO glad Team Running With Scissors was THE February winner!

So, we state a goal for two different events. Do we then carry a separate % completion for each? 

Count me in-

Here are my goals:

S: 15300.00 Yd
B: 82.50 Mi
R: 18.60 Mi

not to mention it was a really cool team! 

D001 - 2008-03-27 8:39 AM Hi xterratri! Sounds like a great challenge! I've edited your first post in the thread, so that it includes the challenge guidelines/rules. (This will make it easier for people to see them up front.) Thanks for setting this up! (And welcome to the wonderful world of challenge organization! LOL) - Dee

x2! 

I'm in as well. I need to work on my goals, but until about April 4th I won't have my plan for my coach. I guess I can estimate low and then up them based on what fun he give me for the month.

I have a 1/2 Mary and my first tri of the year in April and thinking of doing a 5 or 10K and a Duathlon..but not sure yet. 

The COOLEST Team EVER

I'm just saying

I am in...will post my goals later today or tomorrow.

 Oh...and please put me with the other chatty girls.....you know who you are

Don't feel bad. You were stating a fact.   

x2

plus a hottie firefighter, to boot!! grrrrrrrrr~!

I'm trying to figure out my goals.

Can I ask again, how will the tallying work? Will each person be tallying their different events as separate goals toward the team total? Will there be a bonus for stating a goal for more than two events?

I knew you would come out to play...especially when firemen are lurking

Swim 5 hours

Run 30 miles

Bike 6 hours

Not much, but very ambitious for me right now.

OK, put me in for:

16,000m swim

150miles bike

40miles run

Can I be on a team with Kristen (enders_shadow)? 

I'm in!

Swim goal:12,000 yds

Bike goal: 100 miles

Run goal: 65 miles--I have a 10K and half mary this month to help me along here!

count me in

swim 5 hrs

bike 7 hrs

run 5 hrs
