When will the Spreadsheet be posted --  the 73% complete Team UTAH  is really wanting to know the rankings.

You're right F150MCO --- No one who undertakes this challenge is a loser!  It's too much work for you to be a loser.  Remember 90+ percent of the country doesn't even know what it takes to swim 100 yards -- let alone 10k or 20k yards!

That being said.... TEAM UTAH will gladly accept your homage should we prevail!  (We're certainly in the thick of it!)

Jeff is the Fred Rogers of Team Captains.

I'm the General Patton of Team Captains.

Jeff makes a much better Captain.

Got that right --- I've only been swimming since October, and I'm feeling guilty if I don't do at LEAST 1200-1500 yards a workout! HAHA -- Now this morning -- I pop off my longest swim workout ever, 2900 and go WOAH --- and there are some out there doing 4000-6000 a workout!  Certainly all is relative.  But the biggest thing I've learned through this whole process is that there is yardage, and there is garbage yardage.  I've learned to make the yardage valuable, there has to be a specific purpose in that particular workout!   It might be endurance, speed, or recovery/technique etc, but there has to be a purpose.  Otherwise, it's just wearing out your swimsuit!  haha

Keep up the good work!

Hehe...I like that analogy! My meaning is always "go farther" and even though I don't always go further than the last workout, I'm still racking up the distance collectively. Always working towards something...every yard means something. Sheesh, now I'm gettin' all philosophical and $h!t...LOL

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's funny! I wouldn't exactly call myself Mister Rogers...well maybe in some ways...LOL. And I don't agree that I make a better captain Renee...NEVER put yourself down...you're a DIFFERENT type of Captain...you make me wanna go farther...I just try to make everyone happy that they're doing SOMETHING. Maybe I'm not the type of captain we needed since it seems we're not on top! Maybe I am...who knows...we still have 11 more days of this!

I got 3200 in today, watch out I am turing into a force to be rekon with, training with the ol team only means more more yardage, feels good to be back in the pool, training with others.

Looks like 8 out of 12 of us are >50%. My last week alone is scheduled for 6700 yards. I'm hooked and not worried about it for myself!

I did 1150 last night. That's 350 meters more than I've EVER done before. I could have kept going but there were a few people waiting to get in the pool and since I was so far past my goal for the night I decided to step out and let them work out. I'm so nice. HEHEHE

But yay!! I set yet another personal best distance and I plan on beating THAT one soon too!!!

Mark is absolutely right. No matter what the percentage is now, it means nothing until December 31st.

And Renee-Quit punching yourself or I'm gonna drive out to Tampa and run around your office in my speedo!!!! Now THAT will get you laughing. C'mon, it's not over yet!!

Deal! Like I said...not shy here. Well unless it's cold! But then that doesn't always matter either...hence the no wetsuit thing at Suncoast in the 67 degree water.

Ok this is not directly related to the swim challenge but it is for me! Is anyone here planning on doing the FL Escape to Alcatraz in early March (Clermont), the Wildman in Mid March (Orlando) or the TriAmerica opener in early April (Clermont) ?

I'm in for the Wildman. It'll be my first tri event of the new season.

And since I'll be doing Escape from Ft. DeSoto on the 16th, I think I'll do the Sprint at Clermont.

Cool,
Hopefully we can meet up... I'm not sure yet if I'm doing the Escape or Wildman. If the Wildman I'm going to try and get the family to camp out overnight.

Just remember to calculate the cold water shrinkage factor before you go prancing around Renee's office.  You want to make a good first impression after all.
