Pro  4828     The Land of Ice and Snow |  Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter ChallengeHere is a question for you: does the ACTUAL temp have to be below 35 degrees or if the windchill makes it in that range does it still count?? Right now its 37 degrees here but with windchill its only 28 degrees. Crappy points or not? What do you think? |

"Well, I won't get any points for it..." LOL! Really, I would have used any excuse I could find. Oh well, gettin' my mojo back tomorrow! That is too funny! I actually waited for the temp to drop so I would get some points - that is sad! Yeah, I am feeling kinda jilted too, it is 37 now, was 34 earlier. Shoulda went earlier. Too funny.... |

| Pro 4828 The Land of Ice and Snow | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge wgraves7582 - 2008-11-11 2:09 PM So any ride counts as long as its under 40 degrees?? And you get 1 point for that , right? Not .5?? I did a ride at 37 degrees in a 31mph wind (yes, it was horrid) for 77 minutes , thus I calculated it as 1+5=5...5x77=385......Correct? Oh, and like a goof I also ran in the freezing cold this am, so that accounts for the rest of the Crap points today. No wonder my knees are aching!! aquagirl - 2008-11-11 1:22 PM Here is a question for you: does the ACTUAL temp have to be below 35 degrees or if the windchill makes it in that range does it still count?? Right now its 37 degrees here but with windchill its only 28 degrees. Crappy points or not? What do you think? I was contemplating that as well last night. I am thinking that the bike shows you get a point for under 40 so the bike temperature needs to range to 39 for a .5 point. The run does not get effected as badly as the run since I don't run as fast as I bike (good thing I guess!) So I am thinking that the bike will get you 1 point for under 40, you will have the wind factor, the moisture factor and the time factor. Does that make sense or did I mess it up that much more? |

| Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge Going back to aquagirl's original question, does windchill count? 'Cuz we account for wind, but we could easily have windchill temps 10-15 degrees below the "real" temp. I can see arguments for both ways. It only got down to 36 today - so close, so close! Oh well, got a great run on anyway, so I'm happy. EVENTUALLY I will start earning points! |

Extreme Veteran 1329 Wausau WI | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge How about rain? Went out this morning and it was raining, by the time I got back after 30 minutes I was soaked. So it was more than a drizzle, but not sure what a heavy rain would be. Would that be a steady rain or a down pore? Just know it was not a drizzle. |

| Champion 5312 Calgary | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge I thought the original rules made sense. You get points for windchill (ie wind) but only if the temp drops below 35. Would not make sense to me to account for windchill when it is already accounted for. But I am easy. |

| Elite 2673 Muskego, WI | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge I am way late to the party, but if it helps, I've attached the excel spreadsheet I and a few others used to calcualte their own personal points on a weekly basis. It describes some of the rules we used as well. Hope this helps! Attachments ---------------- weathersuckage contest v 3.1.xls (23KB - 39 downloads) |

Okay, makes sense, just wanted to clarify. I used to live in western New York - the real temp could be 50 and the windchill somewhere around 15! Okay, maybe not, but it felt like it! |

| Veteran 179 Cazenovia | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge All right, just checking to see if I calculated my bike ride correctly. 0.5 points for 36 degrees and another 1 point for being a bike ride, right? Happy crappiness everybody! |

| Master 2005 Silverton, Oregon | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge I finally got some crappy weather points! I had to go run at 5am to get em, but hey it works! So, just to be sure I'm doing this right: 40minutes x .5 (32degrees) = 20 So my suckitude score for the run is 20 Is this right? |

Looks good - just don't forget the wind if you had any! Thanks! The wind was 4mph, just under crappy points, which made it really crappy |

| Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge I STILL have not gotten any points! ARGH!!!! Had an utterly crappy weekend - wherein it was POURING, but 50+ degrees. And then, I got home from work yesterday and was thrilled to see it was 34 degrees - finally, I thought! But no, by the time I got stuff done I needed to do, it was 37 already, and headed up fast. *sigh* I'm *determined* to stick this out and finally get some crapola going! LOL! |

| Elite 3595 Quebec, Canada | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge Hi everyone Aquagirl told me I had to join you all since I do live in a great country where we do have some nice weather, my run this morning was in a really nice 14F. How can I join this wonderful group? Does all my workout since the begining of the crappy weather will count or just those to come? Just tell me where to sign.
