1TT i said it as a joke tbh, i didn't actually expect you to go off and pm everyone, but good on you for doing it. I'm trying to work out a reasonable way to travel the 4 miles to the pool each way to finish off my challange goal, as its been pants without a bike.

1760 meters of OWS tonight in the books!!! I am getting there!!

Oooooooooo.  Nice.

Wait.  Where's the bikini-clad women?

 I volunteer to be a bikini clad woman...that pool is GORGEOUS!! Do I actually have to swim though? Can't I just float around in my bikini? With perhaps a cold Corona? Which a pool boy could bring me??

Okey Dokey...... To quote rkreuser: *blink*

Things seem to be getting a little heated here. So please hold off a bit from more posting about dropping people from the challenge, while I do some backreading to see what's going on.

*thank you for your patience.*

Nicole,

First, thanks for taking over this challenge.

I like your idea about dropping the lowest 10%. This will allow people who really overestimated their goal (or interest in the challenge) to be dropped from the calculation.

Also, when I run challenges, I will drop anyone who disappears from BT completely for a two-week period. (In other words, come May 31st, if they haven't logged onto BT since May 17th, I would drop them.) But you can do this, or not....

You may want to request one volunteer from each team to act as "Captain." This person can check the logs of people who haven't been updating the spreadsheet. If it's a matter of these people just not updating the spreadsheet, the Captain can do it for them. If the person's blog hasn't been updated, the Captain can check the profile to see if the person has logged in during the last two weeks. Or, if the person has been logging in but not swimming, the CAPTAIN can send ONE PM asking if they've forgotten about the challenge. (But please limit it to one, so people don't think they're being stalked!)

For the team captains, Phil has already been checking the guys' blogs. (And yes, he was nominated/asked by his team.) So maybe the girls' team could name a Captain. (I'm thinking you may want to name someone other than Nicole, since she's going to be spending some time with the spreadsheets already.)

Comments? Questions? Discussion?

Can I turn *blink* mode off now? Or do you want me to pull out my taser collection?

- Dee

Part II of my reply. (Because Phil sent me a PM telling me where to start reading on the guy's thread, so I saw some of the other posts....)

Since Nicole has taken over as Challenge Organizer, how about if she's the *only* one who can decide whether to drop someone or not? That way, there will be consistency on both teams.

So, if the team or Captain feels that someone should be dropped, they can let Nicole know. And Nicole can make the final ruling.

This is my backyard. (The fun begins at about 1:10 into the video.)

That's true. Nicole didn't ask to run this challenge. She volunteered, after Yanti's life became complicated....

Nicole, if you don't mind doing this - that's great. If, however, you don't want to take on this added responsibility, just send me a PM and I'll do it.

Nice! Maybe I need to move.

Then again, if I'm going to move, I think I'll go here:

Hm. That's not the impression I got from your blog today.

Happy Anniversary!
