I'm sure this has been asked already but when will the teams be assigned and will a team captain be contacting us? Will there be different threads for each of the teams or just this one thread for smack talking, etc.?

Sorry - bunch of newbie questions!

Thanks,
Tracy


Hi Tracy,

Teams will be announced by the evening of May 31st. That way, you will be ready to begin the Challenge on June 1st. Once the teams are ready, I will post a team roster (via a separate thread), so that everyone can see their team assignments.

Each team will start its own thread. (The challenges can get large. The last one that I organized had over 140 people. So it would be mayhem if everyone stayed here.) People can post as much as they want on their own team thread. They can visit other team threads too, for the purpose of chatting - or smack talking.

Once the team has found its team thread, they will select a captain (unless people volunteer up front for the job). The team captain makes sure the spreadsheet is updated each week, and helps anyone who can't access the spreadsheet themselves.

Hope this answers your questions! If you have others, feel free to ask.

Dee

Thanks Dee! Sounds like a great plan. I'm ready to get my butt in gear. I maybe should have challenged myself a little more but I don't want to overdo things either since I have a pretty full race calendar this year.

I've entered your data on the spreadsheet.

If anyone else has trouble editing the spreadsheet, this may help:

Look at the bottom right corner. If it says, "edit this page," click that link and enter the following:

Wow -- all of a sudden everyone got silent. Is everyone waiting; with baited breath, for the teams to get announced? Or is it just me over here in Kuwait at 124 degree high today?

It's a long weekend for a lot of people, so they're probably off doing "family stuff." BT, in general, seemed pretty quiet today. (And since I know this, well, it tells you that I've been online all day. LOL)

124 F over there???? Wow. I can't even imagine that.

I did start thinking about the team assignments a bit, too. (But no, I'm not going to reveal any "secrets." LOL)

I think many people are away from their computers over the holiday weekend. Me, I'm bored.

124 heat - WHEW!!!! I thought the 80's were bad...

Thanx, for responding -- for awhile I thought I was the only one still around this weekend. We are expecting the daily high to be in the mid 130s by the end of June. As of now my nightly run at 8 pm the temp is around 105 and my morning bike ride at 7 am is at around 110. This challenge is going to keep me going out the door.

130s???? And 110 at SEVEN AM?

I thought I liked warm weather. I think I'm about to change my mind though!

Hmmm... Pam (Barqhead)??? Or Kendra (kns57)??? Nope, I don't know any other BT-addicts that are south of me. Nope, can't think of anyone else....

(Just kidding. I've already listed you as being on a chatty team. And it'll probably be a team with lots of chatty WOMEN. I, uh, hope you don't mind.........)

Well, it looks like they're all requesting to be together again. (GPOL, Lyssa, and on and on....) I may have to split 'em into two teams. Otherwise, the post count will skyrocket on that one team, and all the other teams will spend the month trying to get off page 1.

Please (with much groveling and supplication) do not put me in a small quiet dark box with those who have taken a monk's vow of silence. I desperately need a very talkative crew to take my mind off of the heat.

Cody, I......as the challenged challenge greeter promise that we will find a way to take your mind off of the heat (the heat of the desert that is )

Subject: RE: June MOVE-IT or LOSE-IT Challenge Announcement

Alrighty...I'm in. I've yet to do an activity challenge, and I need a serious kick in the back side. May is quickly going down the tubes due to a sudden move (whoda thunk that my house would FINALLY sell after 11 months and I only get 3 weeks to pack, find a new place, etc and so froth...). June should see a calming in the living situation (I'm moving June 3rd) and I'll have more TIME because my commute will be cut by 2/3.

Goals:
Swim 20k
Bike 100 miles
Run 35 miles
Strength/core  8 sessions

I suppose the fact that my first tri of the season is on June 1st is a good start, eh?

Cody - not to worry. I've got you slated for a chatty team. In fact, you may need to spend most of your day trying to keep up with chatter.... I don't think it'll keep you any cooler though.

Hm, seem to be a lot of women on your team, actually....
