Why is it not surprising to look on here this morning and see Cat and Dee's names used in the same sentence as "fun, whips and cattle prods"....some things never change no matter what the month and what the challenge.



Um. Because Cat and I are VERY consistent?

I'm in!! I'm in!!!

I will get back to you with which ones....

Can I be on D001 and Cats team please??? If not, I will live...but I will be sad.



Yay! Look Cat! Someone else loves us!

Are we like the popular kids in school now? (See what waving a whip and a cattle prod will do for you?)

My goals.... Um. I haven't posted 'em yet because I haven't figured 'em out yet.... It's going to be another crazy work month, too.... Um... OK, how's this:

Swim - 6000 yds
Bike - 30 miles
Strength - 4 sessions

Those are pretty wimpy goals for me, but unfortunately, I know that work isn't going to slow down any this month.... So the Challenge will keep me from turning into even more of a workaholic.

And yes, I know I avoided setting a running goal (again). One of these months, I probably should actually DO some of that....

Lol all these requests for teams why not go on a different team and really get to know other people to. If you are always on the same team as the same people it really doesn't make a challenge as it seems there are many of the same teams always competing together

Well, that team request *is* a new mix of people, actually. (That's what happens when you wave a whip and a cattle prod. People pop out of the woodwork, and ask to be part of the craziness. LOL)

Many of us participate month after month, so we do tend to end up with people we've been with previously. (But that doesn't mean we're together each month.) In the challenges that I organize, I DO try to mix it up so people are with new teammates each month. (And I know that Cat does the same when she sets up teams.)

But if you really want to know the breakdown:
Cat, Tritwinmom and I were Flying Fish. Sweetcorn and I are on the same team this month (Peepsqueeks). Jacsuza and I have never been on the same team. UTTriman and I have never been on the same team.

So I think this mix *is* a new one. (Even though I've been with some of them before.) I was actually just trying to make it a bit easier for Jen and Lynnette to organize the teams by giving them a list for a potential team. (IMO, setting up teams is the most time-consuming part of organizing a challenge.)

As for me personally... It would probably be difficult to put me on a team with people I haven't "talked" to before.... In case you haven't noticed, I bounce around this forum a lot. (Understatement of the year??? LOL)... I post on just about every team thread each month. So lots of people have already seen my cattle prod posting.

But no, if the team listing that I posted doesn't fit in with how Jen and Lynette want to organize the teams, by all means, they should set it up how they want. After all, this is their challenge.

And now, I'm off to wave the cattle prod at my CURRENT teammates. I don't mind wearing a Peeps avatar by CHOICE, but I really don't want to lose the March challenge and be FORCED to wear one! (I hate losing! LOL)

As far as team requests, I would like to honor them.  However, I may split those groups into smaller ones.  So, you might be with a few of them, but not all.

Hi Jen,

His log lists swims in YARDS this month. So I'm thinking he'll do yards in April.

If not, well, he can always revise it. (Especially since meters would be MORE distance than yards, so he'd just be increasing his goal, in effect....)

IMO, setting up the teams is the most time-consuming aspect of setting up the Challenge.

As I said previously, I think we're all ok with you and Lynette setting up the teams however you feel works best.

It is a one-month challenge, after all. It's not like you're asking us to be roommates for a year.

This reminds me of January, when someone who asked me to put them with the team that wanted him the least.... (I can't remember who said this, but I got a kick out of the request.)

Okay, I'm in. I'm just setting goals for swimming and running, since I'm not sure how much biking I can get in before finals week and my marathon.

Run: 100 miles
Swim: 3000 yards

I know the swim goal seems wimpy, but I haven't been swimming at all the last 2 months. Any team is fine with me.
