Rebellious Reindeer (Page 25)

Looks like we will be able to cover Amy!!!

You guys are sooooo awesome - and the reindeers rock!

When it gets down to the last week, I'll do the math and make sure that we have her hours covered

Thanks!

be sure to send her inspires wishing her a speedy recovery! 

Yikes Reindeers - there's been a re-calculation and we are in 4th place - it's not over 'til it's over!

Go Reindeers!

Thanks reindeer!

Amy needs a little less than 2 hrs to meet her goal - just let me know who's willing to help out - so far I have Pam and Gerald, I'll have to figure out the math and see where we are at.

you guys ROCK!

Um. Can we do that? I thought we could go to 120% of our goals, and get credit for it. But I didn't know we could donate to another teammate. Let me know. I'm at 126% of my goal. So I'd just figured I was losing the extra 6%. But if I can donate it to Cat... That would be nice.

I think you can only donate in situations of emergency - like illness - so, it might count for Cat as well

Amy can't get to the pool

Yep, you can do that. Per the challenge rules: 4. Individuals who achieve more than their committed goal will not have these additional swims counted in the first 3 weeks of the challenge (so increase your goal!!!) EXCEPTION: In the final week of the challenge team members may exceed 100% (up to 120% max,) and use their additional data to assist team members who are struggling to reach their goal.

OK, but we can only go to 120% of goal, right? For example, I'm at 126% now. But that extra 6% doesn't count? Or, can I donate it to Cat, if she's sick?

hmmm, sounds like a question for the challenge organizers, the way I interpreted it was that you could 'donate' anything that was over 100% to help out a team member

i'm pretty sure that's how it worked for the Oct challenge

that sounds right to me

BunnyB - 2007-12-27 7:39 PM I read it to mean that anything from 100.1% up to 120% may be donated to a fellow team member during the final week. Anything in excess of 120% doesn't count for anyone -- yourself or a fellow team member.

that sounds right to me

OK, that's how I read it, too. I guess that I didn't think of it as a direct "yardage" donation though. So, for example, say one team member falls 1000 yds short. Then someone can donate 1000 yds to him/her? And you can keep donating to your teammates, until you've reached 120% of your goal? Interesting. I hadn't been thinking of it that way. But that would be really helpful. Thanks!

I posted the question in the captains thread - we'll see what they say

Hi Everyone!

I just put in 70 minutes tonight - leaving me with 75 minutes to make my goal.  I will get that in over the weekend & will do my best to pick up an extra 40 minutes or so.

BunnyB - 2007-12-27 11:34 PM As promised, I got in 40 mins in the pool tonight for Amy. Hope you're feeling better!! By my math, that basically maxes me out for the challenge. Since my initial goal was 4 hours of swimming, then 48 minutes total would be my extra 20% overage allowance. So, if we end up needing them, I still have 8 minutes I could put in for someone.

Thanks Melissa!  you make the Reindeer proud

Awesome job Renee!  WTG!!!

Congrats Noz!!!

Hi guys...dad's in town...he likes to swim every day, so I've been bringing him to the pool and swimming when he does.  I've caught up.  Only a day behind.  1100 more yards, and I'll be at goal.  I don't think I'll have any extra to help out other team mates, though...sorry...

I should hit my own goal, though...

nicely done melissa!

keep up the great work renee!

for what?  hitting your own goal?  being awesome?  liking cheesecake?  what?

hey, can we get credit for papa sparco getting yards in?  who do we need to contact ?

Noz, I like the way you think!

Sal - great job on meeting your goal!

I got in another 2000 yds - this is going to be a push, but, I'll get 'r done!

Yeah...papa Parco is 73 and tries to swim 800 yds, at least 3 days a week.  I hope I can still do that when I'm in my 70s.  Well, I guess I'll be close...hoping to do an IM when I'm 49.  That's like being 70, isn't it?  

LOL - yeah 49 and 70, almost exactly the same - LOL

that is awesome that he swims like that - My mom and dad are regular cyclists (especially my mom)  I think it really helps keep them young

Okee dokee

I got in another 2000 yds

the next two days are going to need to be some power swims for me!

Keep cheering me on - I'm going to need all the motivation I can get
