March Bike Challenge - Big 10 Team (Page 2)

So here is the roster and goals that I will be submitting for our team.  It looks like quite a few of us already have that first ride in so keep up the good work.  I have to report our progress every Sunday night.  I'll pull the numbers from your logs (Sunday afternoon) so you don't have to report them here unless you want to. 

Wow, you're an AWESOME captain, Craig!  Thanks for all of your work on this!

Cap'n Craig,

If it's not too late, I'm going to push myself a little this month despite marathon training.  What I'm hoping for is some nice weather the end of March (in MN that might be asking for a bit much) and a new job south of where I live (the farm/cycling roads I love so much).  If it's not too late, put me down for 150 miles.  If you've already submitted, that's O.K.  Maybe the added miles will help us with the tiebreaker ruling.

Nope have not submitted yet.  huengsolo (challenge orgainzier) changed the date for finalizing things from today to Sunday morning.  There is still some debate on what the tie breaker should be (or if we even need a tie breaker).  You can voice your opions on the subject here:

i just wanted to say - i'm looking forward to biking "with" all of you!! go big 10!  

 
trigirlkris - looks like from your logs you're a BT newbie!  welcome .

I've been around since last summer - but don't use the logs.  Probably ought to change that, huh?  Especially since now people are looking!   Wouldn't have made a difference this week, however.  I've been down & out with bronchitis, and contrary to my usual practice, have laid off workouts so I might get better and stay better.  But I WILL meet my goal!

fishnrich, Congratulations on your new baby.  I hope baby and mom are both doing well.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mom and baby are both doing well, they came home this morning. Many 1s and 2s for sleep in my training log this month.

Congrats, babies are great.  So what are the stats?  Weight, length, name?

I have a six month old little girl.  She is a sweet little girl, sleeps very well, too well sometimes.  At 5 weeks she was sleeping 8-10 hours, not eating enough.

The entire floor of nurses came in to watch my 5'0" wife deliver a 10pound baby.  He has been sleeping alot so far.

Thanks everyone!!!!!!

Oh and yes I will be on my bike very soon!

oooh baby!  congrats!  i have been offline a couple of days, just caught this.  congrats!!

 i haven't gotten on a bike yet, i have been out of town.  but my trainer is arriving in a few days and i'll hop on then!  hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Here are our team stats for week-1 (pulled from your logs at 6:30pm on Sunday) .  The first percentage is how much of your goal that you have complete.   The last percentage is the percent that you have done divided by the percent of the month that is complete--this is the rate of completion, if it is above 100% you are on pace to meet your goal.

Thanks Craig - you are an AWESOME Captain! 

Great first week Big 10 Team!

Can't say I'm 100% healthy yet, but I AM getting on my bike tonight.  Spent the weekend at the State Finals swim meet watching my 9 year old swim faster than I can even dream of, thinking, "There's a reason why I love my bike!"  I am also going to learn to use the training log tonight.

Ride on, Big 10!
