Nicole,

I like your idea.  If under 60% mid month the low performers should be dropped but most of us are busting our a$$es getting our goals met.

I talked to Dex.  He didn't ask to be taken off the team.  Phil asked him to go cause he was so far under goal which totally pissed him off.  I think in the future there needs to be a designated captain per team and not a self appointed manager of things.  The purpose of the challenges is to make training fun, not to make us hate each other for checking logs and such. 

TOTAL B.S. - Here's the e-mail -

Dexter: It's been since May 8 since you last reported in for the Men vs. Women swim challenge. You have completed 9000 out of your goal of 15000 yards. Will you be able to complete your goal and report in for us, or is there a problem and need to bow out? Please let us know of your intention. Thank you. 1stTimeTri

 

1). Does that look like I asked him to leave?  Get the TOTAL facts straight before making some accusation, Zippy.  I have a HUGE problem with that comment you made and do not appreciate it.  If Dexter is pizzed off at me, he can PM me himself.  But, from what is presented, it was left for Dexter to decide on, not ME TELLING HIM what to do.  If he wanted to stay, he could have stayed.  If he wants back on, he can come back on.

2). I was NOT self-appointed to do the PMs.  I was asked by another member of our team (in fact, they said I was volunteered or voted, whatever that means) to PM the other members.

I've got a lot more to say but holding back on the barrels.

I agree with appointing a Captain for the teams next time.

I'm smarmy and usually very cordial, but when accusations are thrusted out there like that, that BURNS MY AZZ a little.

Now, I can't wait to see the little tete-a-tetes that develop behind my back from this post.

Have a better day, and I do mean that graciously.

Then maybe you need to talk to Dex cause it was interpreted as you whittling down the team to keep your totals up.  I saw the PM, Dex sent it to me after I said something to him about dropping out.  I  will only say that he told me he is pissed off.  Take it up with him.

My intentions were to find out if these people were still in the challenge since they haven't communicated anything to the team for days, first and foremost.  The next intention was to get them going and do what they could if they were to continue.

If he was pissed off, he could've told me in his PM here -

I had a marathon so drop me out. Dex

It's a challenge, it's not life.  Big deal.  I could care less if we win or lose.  I and many others had fun.  Many of the women busted their azzes out there, along with many of the guys to "one up" each other.  I applaud that whole-heartedly.  GREAT JOB to all those getting those swims in!

But I'm not letting this continue of someone interpreting something else, without going to the source and getting the facts.  I'm a straight-shooter, as Deeder, TinkerBeth, K, and others know.

My message was cordial and to the point, and wasn't telling him or asking him to quit, but was obviously taken incorrectly.  If his feelings were hurt, I'm sorry.  However, he wasn't the only one that was asked if they were still continuing or not.

Thanks Dee! I don't think Phil was out of line, he was just doing his job. Pretty fun how heated this challenge has become!

45 minute OWS tonight! Was FABULOUS! I am almost @ 100%  Will swim everyday till I complete my 2 hours No worries. I will make my goal!

Plan on it!  I will finish strong, but won't be done until the 31st having had to push the swims around on The Plan after the crap-week.

You all RAWK!

Good job ladies!! You've all really stepped (or should I say splashed) up to finish strong. Niiice work and if those stinky boys finish first...what are you going to do? Take them on again?   All that chlorine and I bet they're still not disinfected.

Have a great Thursday!

done.  completed all challenges....I'm outta here

Well done to all that have reached 100%    Hoping for another OWS tonight YAY FOR SUNSHINE!
