January Swim Challenge -- TRI-STARS (Page 3)

You best worry about those blizzards...you folks out west won't know what to do when a big one hits!

(starts planning target practice after swim workout....) 

GO BLIZZARDS! 

I am not out west.  I am in Michigan so I do know a thing or two about snow - and blizzards!     I joined the Tri-Stars in the beginning of the month when it looked like the Blizzards weren't up for the Challenge.  A couple of days later the Blizzards pulled a team together but by then I was already signed up with a winning team! 

By the way, it is sunny and fairly warm here in Michigan today - not a snowflake in sight.

GO TRI-STARS!!!!

Add 2.5 more to my tally! Still got 15 more k's to go. Go TRI-STARS!

Man, this is one MOTIVATED team!

I'll say it again, Uttriman is doing a great job and I think his enthusiasm is contagious.  I'm glad he's keeping us all on our toes with the information.  Thanks Brett!

Good Morning TRISTARS!   --- It's Saturday afternoon, do you know what your yardage is??

Remember -- to be on pace everyone needs to be at approximately 49% of goal by tomorrow.  Are you there yet?

Remember -- log your swim -- or it doesn't count!

Keep up the great work Tristars!   Remember -- WE ARE THE TEAM THE OTHERS ARE TRYING TO BEAT!

LET'S DO IT!

With the week you've had Rabka, I'm amazed you've got as much done as you have -- Talk about committment to the TEAM --  (Not to mention yourself) !   WAY TO GO!

Superior Effort Dragoman -- No "regular" pool available due to painting, and you still find a way to get 5100 meters in so far this month!  That's committment -- Keep up the SUPER work!

I hope your regular pool gets open soon!  Don't want you to have to kill yourself to finish!

GO TRISTARS!

Way to go SULIS!  Right on target!

Keep up  the good work!

I'm doing ok but just came down with a head cold exactly like the one that side-tracked me in December (I was not in that challenge-just had a monthly goal on my own).  Now my choice is to either try to swim through it to maintain pace on the month and risk making it worse or take 3-5 days off swimming which will mean having to do a ton the last week to catch up.  That's what I did  in Dec and it worked.  Just wondering what people think. 

I'll make it either way, don't worry.  I have a great ability to torture myself when I need to so even if I have to breast stroke it with my head out of the water I'll cover the distance so I won't drag down the team.  If you see me down for the week I wanted everybody to know why, and not to worry.

Just saw our Captain's PM, and I think I've got the lowest percentage of the team!

So I felt compelled to write. I completed a swim yesterday and am getting another swim in today (50%), another one on Thursday and possibly an OW on the weekend and should be on track by the beginning of next week.

A couple of "circumstances" are making this challenge quite interesting for me, but do not worry, I WILL GET MY 20K DONE THIS MONTH!

Go TRI-STARS!

For those who missed the 50% target, don't stress over it.  Everyone is doing their best and sometimes unforeseen circumstances get in the way.  Hey, even with illness and pool closures we are still kicking butt!  And we have 15 more days to get our swim on! 

GO TRI-STARS!!!

WAY TO GO EVERYONE!

Keep up the GREAT work!
