TEAM UTAH -- December Swim Challenge (Page 2)

Well --- BeCivil --- Renee just put out the numbers.  True we're in 2nd place to the Canadians -- but TEAM UTAH with 36% is DROWNING the Caroline Curmudgeons who have a paltry 20%

Well-- it certainly appears we are melting the Blizzard!   Just did some calculations.  4 out of 5 team members are at or above goal at this point!  And the one who's not isn't far off pace.  We're kicking out here. 

TEAM UTAH --- WEEK 2 Results  (36% of month completed)

Team Members:  5

Team Members at or above goal: 4  (80%)

Yards Pledged: 77000

Yards Completed: 31616   (40%)

Team Total Score -  Percentage:  60%

Great Work Team!   Keep on Schwimmin!

No laps to borrow!!!! Team UTAH will prevail!  Note-- the yardage reported above is TEAM yardage!  Not individual yardage -- Can the Carolina's beat that??

BeCivil - 2005-12-16 9:31 AM I can see Team Utah backing down and eating some pies over the next couple of weeks. I am not worried about Team Utah!! They got out to a fast start but there is still time to fall on their face. As for 8300 meters, more power to you. My shoulders would fall off if I tried that......not to mention I would look like a flailing idiot by that time. I think my limit is about 2500 -2700 at this point. I would not be focused for anything over that right now.

bikingbruise - 2005-12-16 2:19 AM You guys have certainly been working very hard and have no doubt improved your times significantly. Really no need to keep swimming. Why not take the holidays off and eat pies and drink eggnog? You guys deserve it. BTY, I just finished a 8300 meter swim.

No Backing Down here --- another 1800 yards in the bank this morning !  ( I'm now over 76% complete with my committed yardage!)  No way this team is backing down!!!!  We're going ALL the way!!!  In fact -- Several on our team will EXCEED committment!   --- No -- we're not sandbagging!!  Our goals were set in some cases 37% higher than the teammate had ever done in one month!  In my case - I committed roughly 1500 yards more than I've ever done before -- an increase of at LEAST 10% over previous high yardage mark!   We'll enjoy the pie and egg nog and take a break -- ON JANUARY 1 when we start to receive HOMAGE from you all out there!

BTW -- Nice job biking bruise -- 8300 yards - on session -- Good stuff!! 

Way to go TEAM UTAH!  As of yesterday, with 58.06% of the month past, I was EXTREMELY pleased to report the following numbers to Renee for the Swim Challenge!  GREAT WORK ALL!

UTTriman:  16,700/20000 = 83.5%

brappleye3:  11,500/15000 = 76%
