Ok - just hit 85 sign ups for the challenge...

I was going to put something in the TriTalk and COJ forums for tomorrow USA time now Im not sure how crazy I want it to goet...

Putting something up generally reduces the amount of people that sign up late which is a major positive... and makes setting teams easier... but once challenge numbers get to this point it starts to be a bit of a juggle keeping track of everyone...

Then again there is google spreadsheet this year and thats a positive....

Did we ever find out if anyone knew Ron well enough to ask about a podium pick 'em contest?

Oh I forgot about that... one of out lovely moderators must be able to???? Beth? Dee?

No sign of the Tour De France forum either yet... I hope we go get one because otherwise you get the frustrations of people posting results before everyone has seen the coverage...

I'm pretty sure there will be one.  Has been every other year that I can remember, although I'm a little surprised it's not here already. 

Me too - thats why I was wondering if it was happening!

True, but Levi was a guy known outside of just the cycling world.  So without him, it's getting no coverage on the general sports programs.

Yeah thats because he was riding during the lance era too Im guessing... the new guys probably havent had the same tv coverage...

Really is a pity Dave Z wont be riding... he would give the teram the profile they need to get coverage Im guessing...

I'm struggling with feeling good about myself today.

Tell me something good that happened to each of you over the weekend.

(and no, I'm not going into details of why I'm down. I just need some perspective, thanks). 

Rode my bike for an hour naked (no HRM, no looking a speed)...just rode...

Rode part of the way through cornfields...that's what biking's all about...it was just plain fun!

Played Scrabble with the family last night...

I dont like it (the mustache - i do like him!) He is young, a successful TTer and a good interview with a profile so would be good for the sport/coverage in US I imagine

Hi Nibbs - I posted a little challenge reminder in Tri Talk here: http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid... decided not to bother with COJ this time around... not sure if that was a good idea or not... I figured most people probably check tri talk???

Anyway that should catch the morning BT crowd before it gets bumped off the first page... if any one is around and wants to get it up for the afternoon crowd that would be awesome.. it really helps if people sign up BEFORE I assign team so hopefully this will help with that

Artemis - 2008-06-30 7:49 PM I just saw that they are broadcasting the Olympic swimming trials at 8 (eastern) on USA. I'm excited.
It's on ALL WEEK! Every night at 8 PM! I am sooooo happy. But I wish they'd show underwater pics - so I could analyze their stroke. Even so - I'm happy.

Yeah right...

I would repost Judi (cause she looks AWESOME) - but I think she would wring my neck.

If you missed it, go back 8-9 pages.
