January Swim Challenge -- TRI-STARS (Page 2)

Jenn -- you're officially a member of the TRISTARS!  Welcome aboard!  I've sent you a PM with details on reporting etc.

Happy Schwimming!

OK GANG – Here is the “FINAL” roster and commitments for the TRISTARS!  --  The next SWIM CHALLENGE CHAMPIONS!

Please review your goals and measurement to insure I have it correct.  This roster is going to Marmadaddy today.

We’ve got challenging goals, so everyone, hit the pool and remember --- In order to win this thing, EVERY teammate will need to make their yardage commitment.   The final team score is a percentage of yards completed and percentage of teammates at or above goal.    What that means is another teammate CANNOT swim extra yards to make up for yards that another teammate DIDN’T do!   That doesn’t mean that you can’t swim more than your commitment, but anything in excess of 100% doesn’t count toward the TEAM score!

 Happy Swimming!

Wow!  We've got a big team with big goals!  I think the key is to keep at it every week and not get in a jam and have to try and cram in last minute workouts at the end of the month. 

We are almost at the end of the first week, how's everyone doing?  Has everyone hit the pool at least once this week?

GO TRI-STARS!

 To be on track, Team -- we need to be at 25.8% of our individual goals completed by Sunday, January 8.

BeCivil-- Increase in goal duly noted!   You're in for 20K!    Happy Swimming!

Swim Strong -- Swim for the Stars! ---  GO TRISTARS!

GOOD MORNING TRISTARS!

We had a good week, with almost everyone "on Track".  I'm anxious to see how we place for the week!   My guess, near or at the top of the pack. 

I've sent each a PM/E-mail with where we are in my weekly update --   Enjoy!

GO TRISTARS!!!

And to think I was worried!  I was concerned that we have twice as many members as everyone else so we would have a greater chance of losing but you all are proving me wrong!  Everyone is off to a fabulous start!  Keep it up Tri-Stars!

Hey, I have a question...what kind of swimming workouts do you all do?  I was wondering if most people work only on endurance/distance or if you mix in some sprint workouts also.  Just curious...

GO TRI-STARS!!!

Hey, we are in first place!  WOOOOHOOOO!  Let's keep it going!  I'm doing my part and hitting the pool for a distance work out tomorrow morning at 5:30am.

GO TRI-STARS!!!!

Finally got on the board for the team! Swam 2.6k tonight.

"My" pool has been closed (painting); it was supposed to open on the 9th but will most likely open on the 16th.

Not too many places to swim down here, unfortunately. No wonder Venezuela has just ONE olympic medal in swimming...ever!

Team, I will find a way to meet my goal even if it means two swim workouts a day once the pool opens. I do not like to lose.

GO TRI-STARS!

Hi all! I'm a late joiner since I've been an orphan all this time! I did the challenge in Dec and you can tell from my avatar that we didn't do so well.. BUT I did get my distance in! I did 8000m last month and I'm pledging 10,000 for the month of Janaury. I've gotten a slow start but I'm back in the saddle and will definitely meet my goal!

You all have been doing so well, keep up the good work!

Welcome to the team , Mikosuave --  You're looking good!

OK TRISTARS!   ---  We've got work to do!   We may be on the top of the pack, but we're also everyone else's target!

Just a reminder that we ALL need to be at  roughly 49% of our committed goals by Sunday 1/15.  We won't stay on top of the pack unless we ALL make it!  The ONLY way we will win this thing is if  EVERYONE hits 100% of their COMMITTED yardage!    Our Mantra needs to be 100/100/100!!!  This is a TEAM event -- we won't succeed without each other!

KEEP up the great work -- virtually every member of our team is within striking distance of this weeks yardage target -- If you're not --- FIND A POOL! 

GO TRISTARS --- SWIMMING FOR THE STARS!

Did my part this morning, Captain!  Got a 2500 swim in before the sun even came up.

Keep up the great work everyone!

And don't worry about those Blizzards!  It has been unseasonably warm in the Midwest lately and they are off to a sluggish start - they may be melting!  ; )
