Multipost/computer oops.

Wow, we have an awesome team! I just found this thread so sorry about missing all the fun up to now!

I read the rules for the challenge and didnt see anything (overlooked?) for upping individual goals. I was a bit conservative; is it too late? If so, c'est la vie!

Anyway, LETS GO POOLTRIOTS!

Anybody swiming at Bally's in Cambridge?

I belonged to that gym for over two years and the only time I even looked at the pool was when I took the sales tour. Is it any good?

If you're from Malden, please don't tell me you drive and actually try to park there.

I have to admit that the pool at the Bally's is good. There is also one in the Revere Bally's, but it's way over chlorenated. The Cambridge Bally's is good, especially when I go at 7 am. People do show up at 7:30ish, but I'm well into my groove by then.

You can park in the little lot across the street on the other side of Mass Ave. It's a Bally's parking lot and so far been pretty lucky there.

My pool is suddenly unavailable each weekday evening until after 8:30 p.m.!  A crunch in my monthly yardage plans, but I am not deterred!  I will now simply have to get some time in the mornings to swim (ewww!) and increase mileage on weekends.  I march (crawl?) on for the POOLTRIOTS!! 

Welcome aboard!! You'll be losing that avatar by hanging with a winning team like ours!

Hi Everybody. I hope I'm the only one working today and all of you are out doing more exciting things. I finished my January goal this weekend (note to self: estimate better next time) so everybody keep swimming! GO POOLTRIOTS!

here are the numbers for week ending 01-16-05:

Congrats to Christine, Laura and Michael for completing their goals!

We have 15 days to win this challenge so let's get in the pool and swim! Come on Pooltriots, we are the defending champs and we MUST win this challenge

Congrats to those that finished already!! I'm lurking near the bottom but I'll get there, never fear!! Planning on a swim today, if Bally's accepts my trial membership thing.

keep on swimming everyone!!

Here is an updated table. Please review it and let me know if I need to change something. Also, I learned that I should only account for 100% of a team member's goal when it is reach hence, even though Michael for instance reached over 100% of his goal we can only account for 100...

I read that (100% max) in the rules also Jorge and meant to ask you about it. Looking strong Pooltriots! Keep up the fire!

cuz I am considering the total yards until 01-16-05. The rest will show up at the end of this  week on a new table...

Wassup everybody? As the team slacker, I finally got another swim in today. Bally's SUCKS, I will never go there again, but from now on I've found a better pool so that's OK.

Looking for another swim tomorrow. Right now, at ~27% done.

Let's kick some butt all!!

OK Pooltriots, here is an update: I haven't been able to swim for a few days due to a pulled muscle on my back, however I am certain I will be able to resume my swim training as of tomorrow. That puts me at 10 days to cover 20,000yds, or around 8 sessions of 2500 yds each. I just want to let you know that I am NOT planning on letting you guys down. How is the rest of the team doing? Come on everyone, we have 11 days to secure our win and reclaim the 1^st place!

Keep swimming

I have all the faith in the world in the team making goal. Jorge, you as well as anyone know's to "listen to your body" and dont over do it! It's ok if you do 10 swims at 2000 or even 9 at 1818.182...heh heh.

On a related note, will any of you be doing training at Walden again later this year? I really want to work that in this season.

GO POOLTRIOTS!!!
