Southwest Swashbucklers - Dec Swim (Page 4)

Congrats iswimslo and jchyte for reaching their goals!  

Here's where we are currently at:

Some of these may be a little low, as some team members haven't logged in for a week due to the holidays.  But I bet they're still swimming!   

Noreen, are you out there? 

3 swims left for me.  I'm planning on 3K today, 2800 on Thurs, and a final 1700 on Friday to meet my goal.

We're in the final week!  Keep hitting the pool and finish strong! 

Hey guys,

Yeah, I'm still here more or less. I haven't worked out since the last time I posted. I got the damn cold/flu virus again and this time it hit me hard and over the holidays *sniff* No swimming for me I'm afraid for this week and maybe most of next due to my sinus infection. Sorry to let you guys down. Sounds like most of you are holding your own....I'm proud of ya!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pull, we kick, we stroke, and swim,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We raise a glass for the Swashbucklers’ win,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
--SW Swashbucklers Dec. Swim Challenge Theme Song

Woohoo!  Team members are crossing the finish line!  Congrats!

I'll be crossing that line tomorrow morning with my final swim of the month.

Ok, here are the numbers I've pulled from everyone's blog for the final results:

• jryals (Goal = 28,000 yds):  19,600 yds   70%
• PirateGirl (Goal = 26,000 yds):  26,000 yds   100%
• pippen (Goal = 22,000 yds):  22,200 yds   100%
• ChuckyFinster (Goal = 63,000 yds):  32,261.59 yds   51%
• iswimslo (Goal = 45,000 m):  62,000 m   100%
• dhlundblad (Goal = 26,000 yds):  26,850 yds   100%
• dhyte (Goal = 60,000 yds):  53,833 yds   90%
• noreen (Goal = 24,000 yds):  9,000 yds   38%
• jchyte (Goal = 28,000 yds):  28,900 yds   100%
• TEAM AVG % = 83%
• TEAM % REACHING GOAL = 56%
• TOTAL TEAM AVG = 69%

These have't been e-mailed to Renee yet, so please let me know if there are any updates/corrections.  jryals hasn't logged in since 12/20, and Chucky hasn't logged in since 12/19.  Hope everything is ok.

Congrats to everyone that met their goals and to those that challenged themselves! 

I made one last update to my yardage (56,833 yards - goal was 60K).  I came up one swim session short of making my goal, but with the holidays and travleing (serious roadtrip - 46 hours in the car!!), I just couldn't get it done.  I exceeded my previous single month goal by a good chunk and really felt like the swim challenge made me dig deep.  Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year.

Ya did great Danny!  60K was a huge goal and you put in some big swim workouts.  3K is about the max I can handle in a workout...I can't imagine doing 5K+!

Final results have been posted.

I'm going to have to skip the Jan challenge.  Between work, a marathon, and ramping up for IMAZ, I can't guarantee that I would be able to get all my swims in.

Maybe a Feb swim challenge????  Or maybe a Feb challenge that included all three disciplines??
