Splash Through the Silly Season December Swim Challenge (Page 3)

Sounds like the timing works for you then! The challenge teams are really supportive and a lot of fun... I can put you with some people new-ish to the sport if you would be more comfortable?

I almost always have at least one newbie team for the challenges....

I'm in! I'll sign up for 5 hours of swimming training (sorry, no distance goals yet!). I'll be done by the 24th because of pool closures.

Any time is a good time. Hard Core Trip Corps have been great this month, so very happy to go with any of them. I can chat a bit, but time differences do make it a bit tricky so better to avoid the 8k post groups

OK Yanti, of course I want to be on your team to pull you out of the post marathon madness...You pull me through the stinko days at wok so it's only fair

Goal somewhere between 26,000 and 28,000 yards (conservative goal is the 26,000)

Cut stroke count to 19 consistently

Make my legs KICK more--all compliments of Coach Bret this morning

I'm in...my goal (in yards):

Also, since Donto was my BT "mentor" when I started this insanity at the beginning of the year, I'd like to make him proud...if possible to place me on his team, it would be appreciated...thanks.

I'm in.  I know that the pool will be closed over the holiday here at the campus, so I will have to work extra hard in the first 2-1/2 to 3 weeks.

My goal - 10,000 yards (originally I was thinking 7200 - 3 sessions each week at min. 600 yards).  This will be a BIG challenge for me, being somewhat of a non-swimmer, ya know, hey dere.

I can't wait!!!!

Hi Cat, 

Put me down for 4 hours for December.  Thanks for organizing again!

rgattis - 2007-11-27 10:59 AM I have never done a challenge like this online before. I would love to participate. Very new at the swimming thing, so I don' t really know how to set a goal. Lets say around 10,000. I think I can do that. So how does the whole "challenge" thing work? How do the teams get decided? Thanks for having patience with the newbies

The challenges are WAY fun!!!   I am doing my first challenge this month.  Super Cat from Oz will organize who goes into which team.  All you need to do is keep track of of your workouts on BT and keep up with the forum threads.  BTW....each team will have its own thread so you can talk to everyone on your team.  Some teams chat A LOT!!!!  They train A LOT, too!!!   Good luck with your training!  Cheers!

You guys are kicking some serious butt!!!

Yes time is acceptable, minutes or hours works.

And of course I'm in! 

15,000 yards 

I'll captain a team too, and Lou you're on it dude!

I'm in for 18,000 yards!  I haven't been in the pool in months but I'm looking forward to putting swimming back in the plan.

Any team is fine with me.  Thanks Cat!! 

Hi Cat, I'm in and I'll do....20,000 yds. for the month. I don't believe our pool is closed but for a few days and I have to swim. What ever team you put me on is fine with me.
