Totally Nutty Triathletes (TNT) (Page 46)

ACK!!!!!! How are we in last place??? Dee .... please do not bring out the cattle prod!!!!!

Alright all time for us to get in gear!!!!

Okay, I picked it up a gear tonight. Since I missed two workouts - Friday and Saturday - before my race I decided to head to the pool tonight and swim, swim, swim. I swam 2000 yards + the 250 from the race for a total of 2250 yards swimming, 5 miles running and 2 miles (warm up plus race of 1.4) running.

We MUST put in the miles this week gang. I DO NOT want to be in last place this week. We need everyone to commit to getting 75% of their totals by Saturday!

BTW, here is my blog from the race today: http://endothanks.blogspot.com/. The pictures are screwing up in the blog so you might need to double click the photos in order to see them all...and see them bigger.

ack!! seasonal allergies came upon me like a punch in the face today!! it's been nice for two days, and now the grass is going, and it KILLS me every year. i am on every allergy med known to man, and still--my face looks like a punching bag (super attractive, lemme tell ya)
i can still get all my stuff in (especially if i do it on a treadmill or stationary bike, since then i can be indoors) and i'm really going to try to kick it in to gear this week. we can't honnestly be LAST every time!! that's crazy talk!!

VERY crazy talk!

i just looked at the spreadsheet, and we have like 3 people at 0%!! this is totally dragging our percentages down!! crazy!! i just updated my #'s and there won't be a swimsuit pic of ME this week!! LOL

If they have 0% I wonder if they have dropped out of the game. Any way we could find that out? If they did drop out of the game - DEE is there a way we could get them taken off the stats?

Whoa. I'd thought it was a Photoshopped image or something. So I went to the website, and watched a video of his North Pole swim.

Wow, that is INCREDIBLE. (I am such a cold water wimp!)

Well, I don't need to take out the cattle prod anyway. You guys aren't really my team. (Even though I have more posts here than on the Geckos thread. LOL) Go Geckos!

No, they can not be dropped from the team - at least not yet. Since they DID sign up for the challenge, my assumption (at this time) is that they DO plan on participating.

It looks like your three people are:
Elektra - 0%
Reno8 - 0%
Jonesy - 1.6%


Here is the "procedure" that should be followed:

1) The Team Captain should check their logs. (Who is Captain? Is it Tracy or Julie? I can't remember.)
If these people are logging workouts, but not recording them on the spreadsheet, the Captain should update the spreadsheet. (And maybe send them a PM, explaining that the spreadsheet needs to be updated each Saturday. But if they don't, the Team Captain can just do this each week.)

2) If they are NOT logging workouts, the Team Captain should send ONE PM to them. The PM should include the following info:
- remind them that they signed up for the June Challenge,
- give them a link to the team thread, and invite them to participate in the team discussion.

The rest of the team - feel free to leave inspires. But please don't send additional PMs. We don't want anyone to feel like we're stalking them!

3) The Team Captain should let me know by next Friday if any the following occurs:
- The PM has not been read, or
- The person has still not logged any training, or
- The person has not visited the team thread yet.


My policy is that we cannot drop anyone without doing these things. People may be on vacation, or had a busy week, etc. Since they signed up for the Challenge, we need to determine if they still plan on participating.

BUT if they don't reply to the PMs or log any training by next Friday, please DO let me know. I'll investigate it further (such as by checking to see if they've logged onto BT, etc.). And I'll make a decision then, based upon what happens.

If any of this is unclear (to the Team Captain - since she's the one who has most of the work for this), please let me know. (Either on this thread or via PM.)

Sorry that the spreadsheet entries are showing 0% progress. I know that will affect your team percentage, but there ARE other teams in the same situation. It DOES get all worked out eventually, so think of it as a temporary situation, and do NOT let it affect your motivation!

- Dee

"Missing" TNT Team Members - Update to my previous post:

1) Steve (Reno8) HAS replied on the team thread. (Shown below.) So he IS still participating.

2) Jonesy and Elektra HAVE been logging training. (I checked their logs). Therefore
- the Team Captain should PM them to remind them about the Challenge, and request that they update the spreadsheet each week (or the Captain should do it for them).
- the team members should feel free to leave them inspires.

End of update. Yay! Your missing team members have been FOUND!

I'm not it - remember - I said "not it!" hehe!



Ahh....but stalking is so much fun!!!



I actually DID let it affect my motivation this morning...kinda...Monday's are typically rest days for me but because I missed my Friday AND Saturday workout while resting for the race on Sunday I had decided to bike & run this morning. I did do the bike - 18 miles - Whoo hoo - but in my mind I thought "Heck, if we are going to stay in last place each week then I might as well not worry about catching up on my run today!" Bad, bad Tracy...I WILL get my miles in and have 100% of it done by the end of the challenge...even if it kills me!

Hello Everyone!

Finals are over and I'm ready to catch up! I will do my best to get to 75% Stalking is fun, but normally I like to be the stalker..:p

Sandy

Tee hee...she said FARTlek!

...I just love that word!

We are totally going to stalk you, Sandy! Now GET BUSY!

BTW, what finals were you taking?

I think we ALL prefer to be the stalker, rather than the stalkee!

Lead by example.... Since you feel the need for more pics, GFI and be the leader.

(That's me. Helpful, as always!)

Yes, that's right. You and Lyssa were really quick on the "NOT IT" trigger.

Yes, stalking can be fun. That said, please don't stalk me. Go stalk, um.... well, let me think about it awhile....

Yep, can't let the team rankings affect your motivation. ESPECIALLY since you never know --> There may be a surprise bonus coming later this month!

(No, I won't say anymore yet.)

Not even with the threat of a cattle prod???

Nope. I'm immune to the zap of the cattle prod.

Well, we'll have to do SOMETHING to get it out of you!

My finals from school have kept me behind a desk instead of on the road. (where I belong) I was finally able to break free and run a half marathon this weekend. But, I hadn't seen the light of day for a while, and ended up getting sun burned. - Ouch!

I'm hoping to redeem myself this week.

how'd you do on the 1/2 mary?? sounds like fun minus the sunburn
