So far, I've caught up on all the TV shows, played hours of Xbox360, and spent who knows how long online. It's only been a day and a half and and I'm going bonkers. I just started a twitter account and may try to catch up with some friends on MySpace since I have not been logged on it for months. Here are my first two twitter posts: " I am sitting on the couch". "I am still sitting on the couch". BozNC - 2009-08-21 5:37 AM wgraves7582 - 2009-08-20 7:53 AM Cool, thanks Bill. Hope everyone has a Great weekend BozNC - 2009-08-19 7:48 PM OUT OF COMMISSION FOR A FEW MONTHS! Hi everyone. This morning during our group ride I was drafting behind three other guys. One of them had carbon wheels on his bike. As we were descending (about 30+ mph) his wheel disintegrated. We were so close that as he crashed I had no time to react. I hit him, completely flipped over my handlebars and landed on my head (thank God for my helmet). Anyway, to make a long story short (too late), I fractured my T-2 vertebrae. Luckily I won't need surgery. Doc's said I have to wear the collar for two weeks and pretty much do nothing. They said if I take it easy it should heal on it's own in two or three months. On that note, I apologize to the team but I will obviously not be able to meet my goals. Good luck to everyone, I hope you win the challenge. Heal up quickly and I will make changes to the spreadsheet. I will leave you on the team and just adjust everything to your final numbers in there today or tomorrow so you show 100% Thanks for being such a great teammie and rest up!  hey John...hoping you are not in lots of pain and that the healing HAS BEGUN! take care and keep us posted....even after the challenge ends! what do you intend to do til you heal? any good books? hobbies? One word. Facebook. You can lose hours on there. Other than that, I like to read and watch movies. Are you on leave from work? |

I told them I'd come back in a few weeks but I don't think I'll make it that long without going nuts. I'll probably go in to work next week sometime. I'll just be the violator of my own saying: "there's a difference between being at work and working". lol |

This day is threatening to get away from me... got up to run this morning and the sky opened up. Looked at the computer and the radar showed it was just a little blob, so I waited awhile and then went out for my run -- which sucked! Then I was late for work, and now I'm scrambling trying to get everything done that needs to be accomplished today. I also plan a bike ride this evening, but it's already doubtful... The good news is that I'm off tomorrow, heading to Atlanta for a baseball game! The Braves? I was just there Sunday night. They lost.  Well I'm hoping for a win on Satuday. Now come on - unless they are playing the Dodgers or Giants (to help my Rockies out divisionally), or the Cubs or Marlins (to help my Rockies out for Wild Card) - I hope they lose - they have been playing some good ball lately! Sorry but I am homer and my team needs all the help it can get to stay in the playoffs! As a matter of fact, they are playing the Marlins, so now you have to root for them! So are you hoping for a Marlins win or a Braves win???? Braves, definitely! |

| Champion 7546 Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge wgraves7582 - 2009-08-21 7:24 PM Alright here is some motivation for the last week! If you have all 4 columns filled and at 100% you will be allowed to include over 100% of your initial goal. The rules are simple - you must have 4 aspects chosen and you must be at 100% minimum. This will help your team out for those who ran into obstacles on reaching their goals this month. Good luck everyone! didnt everyone sign up for four??? thought that was the name of the game! I hope to be able to help....I should be able to go over on most of my goals....swimming has not happened. I will have to go four times next week....DOH! that is my only area of concern. I will go Monday morning....wont be able to swim this weekend..unless you count wading in a creek... haha We are heading to Yosemite National Park for our final benefit downhill mtn bike race we are helping with. I hope to race this weekend but if John shows up -I will hang with him in registration instead.....I will at least get a few miles in while putting around the race area - and I did just get in a really long road ride. Have a great weekend everyone...LETS GO TEAM!!!! one week left to pour it on. |

Bill, your post got me wondering (I am a rule follower, you see!), so I went back to check the original rules.

I'm not saying that the help should change, but I just wanted to make sure I was following the rules. |

| Elite 4372 Connecticut | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge Morning everyone. Back from NH. I had a blast but am exhausted. Jockstrapping is tough! It was H.O.T. out there yesterday. I cannot imagine racing a 70.3 in that weather. No way. Andy Potts won in a crazy fast time of 3:51:19 ( ) and Chrissie Wellington won in a crazy time of 4:15:11. That is insane. And they looked fabulous at the finish. Oh, the BTers did great too. Tough day out there for everyone and I am not sure anyone is happy with their finish time but you cannot control the conditions of the race. |
