Quickstep Team Thread (Page 4)

hello! you can name me as one!

so, not to be a smart azz, but..............out of curiosity - why not include the mileage in your goals?

True. But then I heard about the PICTURE. So I came running. Hm, maybe that's what I need - better motivation to run. LOL

well, if you needed motivation!  

Hahaha...you girls a funny. Thanks for the compliments. :D To answer the question about the miles...my training plan calls for minutes on the bike so I'm not exactly sure how many miles that's going to be. Probably somewhere between 100-150 miles....probably more though because I bike a lot more than what my plan calls for. As far as more pics....hmmm....maybe I can post one more....let's see....

Good luck everyone with kicking the crap out of your goals!!

You've all been working hard. Why not take the day off and have a delicious burrito?

mmmm....burritos.  I am so hungry right now and that looks way better than what I packed for dinner.

Happy hump day, Team QuickStep!  Hope everyone is having a good week so far.  I managed to get out for a nice 1 hour and 25 minute ride today.  I stopped along the way and took a few photos.  Nice flat farmland to contrast all these pictures of big hills!  But the pictures are still at home on the camera and I'm here at work.  I'll post a little slice of Indiana when I get home tonight.

X2.  I would love to say my team won this challenge.  Especially since this is my first one, and my wife is on another team, so it is bragging rights within the household.

In sympathy for the TDF riders reaching the mountains I thought I should do some more climbing of my own today. 52.6 miles, bringing in a total of 107.3miles (target 105) for the first week. 1748metres of climbing, plot below. So many nasty steep climbs.

This pic. was taken on the highest peak right up on the moors. Very windy. It's really that barren. On the top of the world.

hey guys...I'm just a tad bit confused. Are we supposed to be going to some other place to record all of our miles or does someone else check out our logs and add up our miles for us?? Probably a dumb question but....whatever. Thanks you guys.

 Cheers!!

Very first post on this thread

You can update the spreadsheet at any time to track your own, and your teams progress. I will be grabbing each teams results to date and posting a challenge update that includes all of the teams progress and any interesting tid bits from the various team threads. This update will be posted at the end of the each reporting week listed above.

Just noticed that I've got the dates wrong. Slight adjustment coming up in a few days time then.

Hi Team - just a quick reminder that Monday July 14th is the LAST day of week one of the challenge.

It would be great if at this time you could make sure your google spreadsheet is up to date with your achieved and GOAL stages and distance/time for the week. (there are currently a few blank spaces on some of the teams)

I will get an interim result up in the forum on Wednesday assuming that whatever is in your team spreadsheet is the results for your team.

I have updated the spreadsheets so they are all calculating goals consistently across the board and as always if you have any questions let me know.
