Dec Swim Challenge Goals/Actual Spreadsheet (Page 3)

What's this e-mail thing you speak of?

Haven't updated my sig from last week. Canada is no longer in the lead.

Beanabug has been absent since the beginning.

Waiting on stats from 3 teams before posting the 12/25/05 update:

Canada, Wahoos, and Texas.

I haven't posted the updated spreadsheet yet.

<------- sample loser's avatar. sucks, don't it?

Ok, here is an update for now. I'm still waiting on Canada (CalgaryRunner is stepping in for CrazyPop and collecting stats from his team) and Texas (no word at all from TX).

1. New England Pooltriots: 92/79/85
2. Midwest Blizzard: 87/80/84
3. MidAtlantic Crabs: 87/67/77
4. Gamecock Wahoos: 84/67/76 and Team Utah: 91/60/76
5. Crazy Canucks: 83/56/69
6. Carolina Curmudgeons: 77/57/67
7. Florida Force: 76/45/61
8. Southwest Swashbucklers: 75/44/60
9. Georgia Shockers: 68/33/51
10. Pacific Ring of Fire: 61/20/40

If you want to avoid the ignominy of changing your avatar and signature, your team must reach 100/100/100. I expect at least one team to reach this, if not more.

I will post the spreadsheet once I hear from Canada.

Here it is.

Hey, where do the 'bonus yards' come in to the three numbers??

For example, my extra 500 yds should raise the first number to 103% but everyone on the spreadsheet with similar overages is still at the flat 100% in the first column,

Did the contest become all about every single teammate reaching his/her 100%, because right now that seems like the ONLY way to get a 100 in this challenge.  Waaaaah~! 

(P.S. Nevermind...I just answered my own question by reading (after I'd completed it) the contest rules -- sorry!  Incidentally, as I tried to go in and erase my dumb question above, I also just learned that you can't edit a post after 30 mins...I swear that at this heightened rate of learning I'll be off of the short bus by April!!)

But first, some fascinating December Swim Challenge trivia!

1. 113 BTers participated in the swim challenge
2. Average swim distance was 19,967 yards
3. 2,256,235 yards were swam during December - 1,282 miles or 2,063 km

Swimmers who put in some big honkin' swims:

• So Fresh So Clean = 138,234
• iswimslo = 62,000
• Dhyte = 56,833
• jellyfish = 54,100
• jeepfleeb = 45,000
• Jldicarlo = 44,800

Swimmers who far exceeded their goals:

• tpetersen05 = 205%
• lacrossemomamy = 160%
• vmr719 = 160%
• wakeman = 148%
• UTTriman = 142%
• brappleye3 = 141%
• Rabkaman = 140%

And now for the final rankings.

1. Gamecock Wahoos, MidAtlantic Crabs and Team Utah - 100%
2. New England Pooltriots - 96%
3. Florida Force - 94%
4. Crazy Canucks - 92%
5. Midwest Blizzards - 91.8%
6. Carolina Curmudgeons - 78%
7. Georgia Shockers - 73%
8. Southwest Swashbucklers - 70%
9. Texas Yeehaws - 66%
10. Pacific Ring of Fire 55%

 Edited: slight change in standing (had 1 person with wrong yardage)

The Pooltriots have not conceded - we are waiting to hear from one of our members who was away and who has not posted her workouts from last week - everyone else hit 100%, and we have reason to believe that our last member hit 100% as well.

I hope she had one heck of a week, because she looked like she was way off.
