Couldn't help not coming back  , the guilt from all the emails was getting to me.

I might have been down, but I am not out.  Up to 7800 now, I will get to my mark if I have to swim daily for a week.

Great job team!  We have a good, strong start on the challenge.  Keep up the fantastic work! 

I don't know about everyone else, but the last week of the month will be tough to get in my swims.....SO..I plan to swim like a MADMAN this week and next week to get ahead of schedule.

Let's go crazy the next two weeks, and mop up the competition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are our team totals for Week 2 that have been sent to Renee:

• jryals (Goal = 28,000 yds):  7,800 yds   28%
• PirateGirl (Goal = 26,000 yds):  11,050 yds   43%

• TEAM AVG % = 48%

Our ship has taken a few hits this week, but we've still got 2 weeks left in the challenge to get back on course.  Keep swimming!  It's not over yet!

The extra ration of rum this week goes to iswimslo for reaching 82%!  Well done! 

Yep, it will appear in next week's totals.  No worries.

I'm joining the "power swim week" folks as well.  I missed 2 scheduled swims this past week due to work, but thankfully I go on vacation Thursday afternoon.  I'm looking forward to it since that will allow me to get back on track with training.  I think that's another one of those "You know you're a triathlete if" sayings. 

Ok, since there were so many updates, I went ahead and changed the list and updated Renee with the new #s.  Week 2, Rev. A:

• jryals (Goal = 28,000 yds):  16,100 yds   58%
• PirateGirl (Goal = 26,000 yds):  11,050 yds   43%
• pippen (Goal = 22,000 yds):  14,000 yds   64%
• ChuckyFinster (Goal = 63,000 yds):  32,261.59 yds   51%
• iswimslo (Goal = 45,000 m):  36,700 m   82%
• dhlundblad (Goal = 26,000 yds):  12,150 yds   47%
• dhyte (Goal = 60,000 yds):  34,333 yds   57%
• noreen (Goal = 24,000 yds):  7,000 yds   29%
• jchyte (Goal = 28,000 yds):  16,000 yds   57%
• TEAM AVG % = 54%

Oh man...the number of actual swim days left this month is getting pretty small.  I figure I probably will be able to swim 5 more times this month, and still need to cram in another 18,517 yards.  I see at least 1 or 2 more LONG swims coming.....
