Team Endless Summer--July Challenge (Page 3)

Ummmm....well, I really appreciate that, but I was thinking more along the lines of:

GET YOUR LAZY BUTT OUT OF BED!  GO SWIM YOU LAZY IOWAN!  YOU'RE GOING TO LET THE TEAM DOWN IF YOU DON'T GET OUT THERE!

That sort of thing.  You guys are WAY too nice!  Although I do like Kepola's "superior attitude to co-workers" thing........

Ok, you're right! Our team name is NOT Team Nice.  So.... Tania, since I like to feel superior, I propose a friendly teammate challenge between you and me. I am going for an early morning swim tomorrow, Wednesday.  I am also planning at least 3 early morning swims next week.  Care to join me in this goal or are you going to wuss out?     How's that?

OOOH OOOH Cindy wants to be in the swim miini challenge   I'm up for Wed and Fri...I'll be up at my grandparent's in the Great White North on Thursday.  (But never fear, my bike is coming along for some absolutely killer hill training, and my run shoes get to ride up too   )

GO TEAM ENDLESS SUMMER!

I've done it on lots of cross country drives with my family...get up early, run around whatever hotel we are in, drive all day.  I was a little stiff but ok...don't know about blood clots tho.

Can't you walk around a bit in the airport?

OK, so far so good - this mini challenge idea is awesome.  Way to get me motivated kepola, soopergirl and CindyK!  I got up and swam this morning - WOO HOO!  I have set my swim goal for the challenge as:

Wed (today) 1000

Friday 1000

M, W, F next week 1500 each day

M,W, F the following week 2000 each day for a grand total of 12,500 yards.

The last week of the month, of course, is RAGBRAI, and unless I decide to jump in a farm pond or something, there's no swimming for me, only biking.

So what do you say - since each of us will have a different schedule, each day we have committed to is one point, and we're shooting for 100%.  Each day we miss, we lose a point.  Losers have to put a signature line on their posts for a week or so,  something along the lines of "Tania is the swim QUEEN, and I can only some day hope to swim in her wake"

Of course, when we all make 100%, that won't be necessary, and we'll be kicking the other teams butts by then anyway, so it's win-win.  Your thoughts?

"Team Endless Summer Cheer:

RAH RAH REE
Kick'em in the knee!
RAH RAH RASS
Kick'em in the other knee!"

Is that all you got?  This will be like shooting fish in a barrel...

OK, let's keep it in our logs - I'm updating mine now to reflect 1 of 8 possible points.  A challenge within a challenge - how crazy are we?

PS - I noticed some in- fighting on Team Hussy.  They run way too hot and expend way too much energy trying to spew out witty smack talk -  translates into training hours lost, no doubt.  We can cross them off our list of potential threats to victory.  

Attention Team Endless Whining - our smack-talk in no way correlates into lost training time.  However, worrying about how many points you got for making coffee this morning...I dunno...

I knew you'd be here.....in record time!  Very good job sensing my dis from way over there on Team Horsey.  I actually got my point for SWIMMING this morning.  According to the lack of any actual workout on your logs for this a.m, the coffee making points must belong to you.  No, no, that's OK, I know you're working your plan.... Tonight, you say?  Yes, me too. 

Shooting rubber ducks in a barrel is alot easier.  Go back to Team Hobby Horse! Don't let the door smack you in the knee on the way out!

While you were still waking up, and getting your Froot Loops for breakfast, I was already at work.  I log my commuting mile when I get home, as I may decide to turn my normal ride into a 25-mile hammerfest.

Good try, though!  I'm actually surprised that an Ioweejan came up with any kind of smack talk...not impressed, just surprised...

Well, Clueless in CO, it's okay. You don't have to mask your lack of knowledge with "surprise." We understand, and accept everyone for who they are. We will still like you even if you don't know much about the world (or the US for that matter). While you try to figure it out, we'll just log in a few more miles. Don't think too hard, honey . . . it might make your head hurt, and then you wouldn't be able to ride your little trike home. uh oh.

Well hold that feeling ducky, because it's going to be needed once again when Team Endless Summer kicks you in your Hoss's Ass at the end of this challenge.
