Team Leopard Trek Official Thread (Page 3)

I totally understand the heat thing!! I have tried so many different techniques to stay cool, but the one thing I stand by the most is to freeze water bottles of sports drinks. I get so dehydrated and the sports drinks are the only thing that helps (and its nice to have em super cool). Good luck with your stage today.

I can't update the spreadsheet...I only have my iPad on me. But if someone could add 2 stages and 7.5hrs to my totals that would be great and should bring up my contribution a bit! Thanks!

Oh no! The Tour de France is over. What are we going to do now?

Well, we're gonna have a one week challenge. This will get us through July, at least.

You can set goals in ONE to FOUR activities: Swim, bike, run and/or other.
If you fall behind in one goal, you can make it up in another. (Ex: 0% Swim + 200% Run is still 100% Overall)

At the end of the week, the WINNERS will be determined by:
a) The overall average in each category. (Ie: Swim average, Run average, etc.)
b) Individual totals. (Ie: the person with the highest completion average)

To participate, check out the Post-TdF One Week Challenge thread!

By now we can assume that all riders have entered their challenge totals in their team spreadsheets. So, the final results of the TdF challenge are.....(insert drum roll here)....

First place is a tie between Garmin and Liquigas! Garmin came in at 99.66% with 6 riders reaching 100%. Liquigas came in at 99.36% with 5 riders reaching 100%.

Second place goes to Quickstep who reached 91.19% with 4 riders at 100%.

Third place goes to BMS with 88.65% and 3 riders reaching 100%.

Fourth place goes to Leopard Trek with 69.15% and 2 riders reaching 100%.

Fifth place goes to Sky with 65.60% and 2 riders reaching 100%.

In the unofficial post-count challenge, Garmin and Liquigas tie again for first as both had 11 pages of posts in their team thread. Quickstep had 7, BMC had 6, Sky had 4, and Leopard Trek had 3. It seems like the key to this challenge is team communication. The more your teammates talked to each other the more likely the team was to get everyone to their goals.
