I don't use the training log on here often since I have to log all my workouts in detail through a portal with my coach. Am I penalized for that?


Yes... Generally, the Challenge rules require that you log your training in your BT log.

Your log is the "proof" that you ran, biked, swam, trained.

However, you don't need to log the workouts in detail. How about if you just add the time or distance? (I can't remember which your goals are in. If they're in hours, just log your total time. If they're in distance, just log your miles/yards.)

Hi everyone,

I've been getting a lot of questions about penalties for the losers. The two teams with the lowest overall percentages for the month will have to change their avatar to something with a flower (April showers bring May flowers...). If you are on a losing team, it doesn't matter what your percentages are, just that you are on one of the teams with the lowest percentage.

Let me know if you have any questions!

-Jen

I'm thinking we'll be butter cups if we don't start sucking it up.

I still want 14 minutes Not the time gain I wanted, but it's what I got. I'll be there one day.

Hey Buttercups! Have you guys been training???? (I haven't been. I've been working. And believe me, I'd RATHER have been training.) So... Did you get the 14 min?

Sadly no.  I came to grips though and punished my bike the next day.  In fact, I'm about to go suck it up for an hour long Friday night trainer ride.  Tomorrow is 30 miles with a 30 mintue brick.  Then Sunday is yet another brick.

No rest for the weary onion this weekend.

Scattered thunderstorms are a Saturday bummer.

    I was a slug yesterday due to rain, wasn't able to ride outside due to son being home but just it raining made me not even want to get on the trainer.

    Guys, seems I bit off more than I could chew this month. I guess the trick is to err on the side of underestimating. Although my goals were well intended, life does happen. I am not giving up but…I don’t think I will be able to swim 7100 yards, AND run 25 miles by Wednesday. Surprised I might be 100% on the bike by then! Regardless, I have been better with my training this month than I would have been had I not joined the challenge. Believe me, not meeting my goal was not for the lack of trying…I did spend over 15 hours on the bike, ran over 55 miles and swam 13,900 yards. I feel much more prepared for the Florida 70.3 in a few weeks than I did this time last month. Thanks for the motivation. Hope you guys check back with me to see how the race goes. I will check in on you guys, too!
