They Who Shall Not be Named! (Page 22)

Hop in the shower and leave in 20 minutes for work. Hang out in case they need us but it's not looking like that will happen. Finally, go run when I get home in the evening.

With that said shower time

What do you do Hector.  Military? (Forgive me, I think it is back on the original thread, but I really want to get something accomplished other than digging through to find out...)
Just curious, because it sounds like you are on alert.  My hubby spent 7 1/2 years in Alaska doing search and rescue.  Spent LOTS of time on alert....

Don't worry. I have no doubt that committee will form quickly.

Hi Everyone!

It’s Sunday, the day when you’d usually be reporting your achievements for the week. So even though the spreadsheets aren’t due this week, please feel free to brag about how great your workouts have been! This challenge is about achieving your goals -- so let's hear how you've done!

Each week, I'll give you a quick summary of what's been happening. This is another idea that I stole borrowed from Cat. (Thanks Cat!)

There are now 96 people participating in the challenge! We have 7 teams, so each of the teams has gotten quite large. (Team leaders, if you want help compiling everyone's results, feel free to ask for an assistant-captain!)

While you've been assigned to a team, please DO feel free to visit the other teams! In fact, Teams 6, 7 and 8 seem to have merged into one large extended "BT Party Central." If you haven't already done so, stop by and join the party!

Team1 - The Moscateers
This entire team is together by request! There are about a million members of the Mosc family here, resulting in the team's adopting a new name and motto: The "Moscateers" all for one and one for all. This team also has our youngest participant, 9 year old gidgetintraining. Comet_the_dog had jury duty and his Dad is in the hospital, however it's also his 15th Wedding Anniversary. What a week, huh?

Team2 - The Vigilantes
Lawyerchick (Meredith) is a newlywed. (Congratulations!) Fielding (Erin) will be doing her first Tri on Nov 11th! (Good luck, Erin!) And Jessicacrouchrt (Jessica) recently completed her own first Tri. (Great job, Jess!)

Team3 - The Turkey Terrors
After much debate, the team decided to call themselves The Turkey Terrors. Team Leader nccgrap (Ryan) is a high school science teacher, so he should be able to whip motivate this team into shape! Atlantia (Laura) is training for her first marathon in January, so she's set a high running goal this month. And we learned that SAHM means "Stay At Home Mom."

Team4 - The Nonexistant Team
When I combined Team4 and Team5, I put them under the Team5 name. So this team exists only in your imagination!

Team5 - 5 For Fighting
This team has members from all over the world! (Yes, I know the Dynamic Aussie Duo is on a different team. I'll get to them in a minute.) This team even has the BT tri-talk, iron-distance, and COJ forums moderator, rkreuser (Rick). He claims to have read every post on BT for the last 3 years. (I don't believe him however, as keeping up with my posts alone is nearly an impossible task!) Bhoover10001 (Brian) announced his secret goal of beating his 16 year old daughter in a triathlon. Whoops, so much for secrets! When Rzzqb8 (Robin) decared her running goal, she thought she was crazy, until she looked at her team's goals, and saw they're just as insane.

Team6 - They Who Shall Not Be Named (TWSNBN)
Ooooh boy. Where to start? This is BT Party Central Headquarters. Also known as "They Who Shall Not Be Quiet", this team is currently on page 18 of their thread. (Plus, these "BT addicts" also have an additional 4 pages on their previous "generic team" thread. Can they talk, or what?) So far, the women of TWSNBN have gotten all 3 male teammates to post photos of their naked legs. Wow! Now there's discussion of a BT Calendar. (Seriously!) HCS5QA (Hector) even tells us when he's about to jump in the shower. Team leader LastCall2003 (Beth) has her hands full with this team. (Or maybe she's the one instigating the trouble!) If you haven't already done so, stop by and enjoy the fun!

Team7 - Team Wild Hippos
Home of two hot Aussie women, kaqphin ("Super Cat") and light_sabe_r (Maddy), this team also features a bunch of former Posion Apples, the first team to achieve 100% of the goals in last month's challenge. Look out everyone, this team is MOTIVATED. In fact, Lyssa-gator (Lyssa) has issued a challenge --> Who can be the first person to 25% of their goals? Want to take her up on this? Stop by the Team 7 thread and let her know. Better hurry, because jasonbohn9 (Jason) has already counterchallenged by saying he could achieve 25% by Tuesday!

Team8 - Hard Core Tri Corps
Led by fearless leader BunnyB (Melissa) aka "General Bunny", this team has four California members! TriAya (Yanti) finished a 23 mile run, and delcared it "sweet and smooth." Mbmoran2 (Brian) declared his long term goals are to qualify for the Boston Marathon and tackle the Ironman. This team has some impressive performers! Crabsrule (Brenda) discovered what it's like to race on hills and in hot weather. This team always welcomes visitors, so come in and say hello. If you stop by though, be forewarned that TriAya (Yanti) aka "Sergeant Doberman" may assign you a team job! (Don't worry, you can handle it!)

From BT News Headquarters, this has been your weekly Challenge update.

Dee

hey I came over for a visit cause I heard they were serving up legs here.  I found the pic from spokes that we had on the Bump team last month, even found Yanti's.  Just got tired of scanning every page looking for legs

Matching up some people was relatively easy....

Some of the teams are really quiet though. I mean, I knew THIS team was going to be yakking it up. But some are just on their first or second page.... Oh wait, it is only Nov 4th. LOL

That update that I just wrote took a lot longer than I thought it would! :P

Wow! That recap is awesome! That was really fun to read about the other teams.

So, I'm a little crabby. My swim instructor had to cancel today because she wasn't feeling well. Now I have to wait until next Saturday. urgh!!

So now I have to decide what I will do today. I think that an IM show is on Versus today, so maybe I'll get on my trainer and watch that. I could get a whole hour of my bike done then. I'd seriously be kicking butt on my bike goal with 2 of the 5 hours done after that. Hmmmm... I think I decided what I'm going to do today!

She even has the page numbers memorized.

I used to sell tons, but I was really focused on it and advertising a lot. Now I just rely on word-of-mouth or people who stumble upon my website. I do have a few distributors who order wholesale orders. Those are nice.

I have sold a few slings for pet owners... I don't quite get it, but hey whatever works! It would be fun to actually see a pic of it in action with a pet. No one has ever sent me one.

I agree! I'm so glad I got put on this team. Not sure how it happened since no one really *knows* me here... but it is really a lot of fun being here!

Eh... The updates are getting done. The fun is getting done.

The training has been suffering a bit.

And NOTHING outside of BT is getting done. LOL

I think things will settle down a bit now. That means I can have some more time for working out, and for doing things that just need to be done (like paying the bills).

Work... well, I'm behind. I'll need to put more time into that this week. *sigh* I'm still in a state of denial about that, though. LOL

Well, Beth had offered to be the team leader, so I tried to put, um, "extroverted" types in here.

You're right though, I didn't know everyone, so sometimes I just guessed. (Looking at "Stats" helped occasionally. If they had 500 posts in COJ, well, that told me something. LOL)

thanks Dee, I found them.  they are pretty ispiring
