I can help!

Scroll down to the bottom of the thread and in the bottom right hand corner there is a box that says 'Toggle email notification' - click on that to turn it on!

CAREFUL!!!!  You might find yourself deleting hundreds of e-mails a day.  It took me a week or so to get it to finally accept turning it off.

Hiya team Flying Fish!

Kendra - thanks for offering to do the team captain thing... great job on the link boxes (I cant do them at all!)

I think Ive met about half of the team before... Im Cat, and its January 1st here... I spent last night watching this with 1.5million+ other people around the harbour in Sydney:

I saw the 9pm fireworks from a bridge (fantabulous and included the Simpsons theme!!) before heading right into a ticketed spot with a seriously amazing view of the bridge.. Im a lucky girl to get a ticket! Wasnt too crowded either.... unbelievable!

I wonder if she would make me a list, hmmmm

I lost the link to the instructions again - LOL

Looks like swimming will commence for me tomorrow, the Y is closed today.  I have printed out the schedules for lap swimming, spinning classes and other fun things to do at the local Y. I guess I will get my swim bag together today and maybe go pick up a few pool toys at Academy.  I am ready to get going and looking forward to the challenge.

Today will be a strength/core workout using my exercise ball and new resistance set up.

How about everyone else?  Were you/are you going to swim today? 

Attn Team Captains:

Team Name changes

Once you have decided on a team name, let myself or Dee know - we both have access to change the names.

Dee is on the road today, and I will be headed out for a few hours in an hour or so, so the change may not be made until this evening

Hello, Flying Fishies!!

I'm Phil (1stTimeTri), and this is my 4th challenge in 3 months.  I'm 42, married to a wonderful, but non-athletic/non-competitive wife, and am the Father of 3 great boyz (I like spelling it that way), and a 9-month old 1/2 Australian Shepard, 1/2 Golden Retriever mix puppy named Taz.

I started training for tri's just last fall (2006).  All my firsts were just this past year (weird to say that since it's only the 1st day of Jan. 2008) - first marathon back in May, 2007, first triathlon was the 1/2 IM in Racine in July, 2007, and then my first IM was IM Moo (IMWI) in Sept., 2007.  I told myself that if I was going to accomplish something, I was going all out. 

I chose the swim challenge again because that is the area that I need to heavily work on, and being on the (GREATEST) swimming team in this challenge keeps me motivated and dedicated to continue working on that aspect.

My one and only tri that I have signed up for this coming year is the 1/2 IM in Racine, WI, again.  This time, I'll be ready for Lake Michigan's waves and current.

I foresee a lot of fun with this team and feel that we all will surpass our expectations.

Happy New Year,

and LET'S GO!!
