August - 2nd Annual Boy's vs Girls Swim / Run Challenge !! (Page 4)

NickInNC - 2007-08-03 1:14 PM I'd love to get in if it's not too late. Put me down for run 150 miles Swim 20,000 yards. I hope we don't loose, I have not figured out how to change my avator from the last challenge I was in

i vote that everyone in the challenge pass a mandatory "can you change your avatar" course... to avoid the "i don't know how to change mine" cop-out, excuse, response

I totally agree. I had trouble at 1st with mine but I got it sorted as you can see

NO EXCUSES!!! NUH UH! 

All right, here are the latest stats for who we have, and what distances we are all doing. I'm really proud of everyone, and you should see a big difference on your swimming and running by next month.

Stats as off 08/04/07  07:35 PST

Let's go, and have lot's of fun. On monday, we will know who is ahead, and who is behind.  The games are rolling!!

Well here are my totals for the week:

SWIM: 2,800yds / 29,700 yds, leaving me 26,900 yds to go on the swim

RUN: 15.5 miles/ 77 miles, leaving me  61.5 miles on the run.

Good luck ladies on next week and keep kicking butt

Not setting any records, but I did do something.

ASSuming we report here--is that right? My totals include today (Sunday) but is that actually the start of a new week? Should we have separate B/G reporting threads and keep this one for the smack talk? Is Kristin our team leader? Should I just stop asking questions and run and swim more?

8/1/07 - 8/4/07 Run 8.5 mi Swim 7000yd

Here are my totals for week one!  Run: 5.4 miles, Swim: 4200 m

I got another 3 miles running in this morning, so I'm on track for 100%. Girls rule!

here's my total for aug 1 thru 4

run 7.53 mi

swim 1250 yd

Aug 1 including aug 5th.  I know it should be until the 4th but I do most of by BT stuff from work. I will all work out in the end.

swim 3932 m

run 6.8 km

Kanders,

     You are correct on all the issues. Well responded. To the matter of injury on the run, what would like everyone else think about it?

Let's keep the results coming in everyone. If you don't report it, we will be going to your logs, and verifying the results anyway, so don't forget to keep your training log filled in.

Happy Monday to all, and Happy Training!! We should know by tonight (or tomorow morning with a issue I raised down the page)  were we stand from the first week results.

Another issue, it appears that a lot of people don't look at this site on weekend, do we want to have training go from Monday through Sunday for simplicity? Have until 1400 on Mondays to log your wekkend training, and we will have the spread sheet update up by tuesday Morning? How does this sound?

One more day to register for this challenge! If anyone is still interested, make a finite decision, and make a commitment!! All rules will be final as off tomorow morning!!

Know, following is the latest update on the roster as of 8/6/07 07:29 PST

OK boys and Girls, I have 99% of week#1 data inputted into the SS.  We have 1 boy and 1 girl that I need to wait for some feedback concerning last weeks training and we'll be all set.

BTW, I know the anticipation crazy, but I'm but sure with the size of the lead the boys have after week 1 that;

THE BOYS RULE AND GIRLS DROOL!

I'll post the results once all is final...

From Aug. 1st through today (the 6th - no more workouts planned for today):

Run - 29.25 with a long run of 15 at 7:30 pace (last night).

Swim - 8,750 yards.  If it is only going through yesterday, then it is 6,050 yards .......

one more girl may be joining this challenge - my sister mosc57. she's new to BT and to tri training - i sent her the challenge link today.

Dev,
Since I already have 99% of week #1 inputted, and that it doesnt help any for week#4, I vote to keep the "week" as Sunday thru Sat. It all works out in the end anyway.

Regarding Kanders, I already adjusted her run goal to 38 miles.  FYI, in previous challenges we had rules to allow Goal adjustment due to injury/Illness for the first two or three weeks then no changes after that.

Oh, I have added amandaryan98 on the team...
