Hard Core Tri Corps (Team 8) Thread (Page 6)

Wow! She just called a 23 mile run "sweet and smooth"!!!!!!!!

It's already impressive to me that you can run that far. And then to call it "sweet and smooth" -- well, that's just amazing.

GREAT JOB!

Dee

... was about to do an hour swim today, but the pool was closed when I got there (lying hours of operation). I'll do some abs tonight and pick it up next week.

Triaya... you'll be needing to keep that head down in neutral position if you ever want to be at a speed to drag... sorry... this isn't like pacing off a runner... not that any guy would be able to keep up to you... 23 miles? Good luck with the marathon.

And I guess I'll need an assignment. I propose you placing me in the "impossible missions task force.... (Mission Impossible BT). I could so hack other users' accounts and reduce their training mileage.

I've put all the team spreadsheets on Google. This isn't something that people can edit (yet). It's just for viewing purposes. But if someone wants to check their goals, they're all listed here. Just click on your team name to view it.

Each week, I'll update the spreadsheet and upload it to Google again. That way, you can see your progress.

Sweet!!!

Half the gum is red, the other half is green.

Red light. Green light. Mash them
together, asta lasagna. Don't get any on
you -- you have five seconds.

Hey gang! I got in some upper body strength training today. This is really my first foray into it again since my spinal fusion six and half months ago, so I kept the weight really light. Hopefully I won't be regretting it tomorrow. LOL

Ok, as General Bunny, I'm throwing out a challenge to the platoon. Quite often, people tend to be very critical of themselves, so we're going to turn that around and focus on the positive instead. Tell us a physical characteristic about yourself that you DO like. For me, it's definitely my eyes. I really like how big and wide-open they are, and I think they're a really cool shade of hazel.

So, 'fess up, what's something you really like about your body?

I like my height.

Longer length in the water means less drag.

Wow! I take the day off and everyone's talking about getting half-nekkid!

DH came home from his overnight trip and we watched LSU give Snake Saban a hard time. Today we're packing DH up again to leave for a week.

I know I'm the head cheerleader around here, but I hope someone is in charge of the motivation mafia, because I can already tell I'm going to need it while he's gone. All I did yesterday was sit on my butt and think about eating! It doesn't help that WW is closed today and I can't WI.

We're headed out in a bit to get the groceries bought and shop for new dining room furniture. This will be an all day long thing so if anyone's getting nekkid again, I want photographic evidence.

Oh and Yanti! You rock girl! Run, run, RUN! Hi Greg

Hi Everyone!

It’s Sunday, the day when you’d usually be reporting your achievements for the week. So even though the spreadsheets aren’t due this week, please feel free to brag about how great your workouts have been! This challenge is about achieving your goals -- so let's hear how you've done!

Each week, I'll give you a quick summary of what's been happening. This is another idea that I stole borrowed from Cat. (Thanks Cat!)

There are now 96 people participating in the challenge! We have 7 teams, so each of the teams has gotten quite large. (Team leaders, if you want help compiling everyone's results, feel free to ask for an assistant-captain!)

While you've been assigned to a team, please DO feel free to visit the other teams! In fact, Teams 6, 7 and 8 seem to have merged into one large extended "BT Party Central." If you haven't already done so, stop by and join the party!

Team1 - The Moscateers
This entire team is together by request! There are about a million members of the Mosc family here, resulting in the team's adopting a new name and motto: The "Moscateers" all for one and one for all. This team also has our youngest participant, 9 year old gidgetintraining. Comet_the_dog had jury duty and his Dad is in the hospital, however it's also his 15th Wedding Anniversary. What a week, huh?

Team2 - The Vigilantes
Lawyerchick (Meredith) is a newlywed. (Congratulations!) Fielding (Erin) will be doing her first Tri on Nov 11th! (Good luck, Erin!) And Jessicacrouchrt (Jessica) recently completed her own first Tri. (Great job, Jess!)

Team3 - The Turkey Terrors
After much debate, the team decided to call themselves The Turkey Terrors. Team Leader nccgrap (Ryan) is a high school science teacher, so he should be able to whip motivate this team into shape! Atlantia (Laura) is training for her first marathon in January, so she's set a high running goal this month. And we learned that SAHM means "Stay At Home Mom."

Team4 - The Nonexistant Team
When I combined Team4 and Team5, I put them under the Team5 name. So this team exists only in your imagination!

Team5 - 5 For Fighting
This team has members from all over the world! (Yes, I know the Dynamic Aussie Duo is on a different team. I'll get to them in a minute.) This team even has the BT tri-talk, iron-distance, and COJ forums moderator, rkreuser (Rick). He claims to have read every post on BT for the last 3 years. (I don't believe him however, as keeping up with my posts alone is nearly an impossible task!) Bhoover10001 (Brian) announced his secret goal of beating his 16 year old daughter in a triathlon. Whoops, so much for secrets! When Rzzqb8 (Robin) decared her running goal, she thought she was crazy, until she looked at her team's goals, and saw they're just as insane.

Team6 - They Who Shall Not Be Named (TWSNBN)
Ooooh boy. Where to start? This is BT Party Central Headquarters. Also known as "They Who Shall Not Be Quiet", this team is currently on page 18 of their thread. (Plus, these "BT addicts" also have an additional 4 pages on their previous "generic team" thread. Can they talk, or what?) So far, the women of TWSNBN have gotten all 3 male teammates to post photos of their naked legs. Wow! Now there's discussion of a BT Calendar. (Seriously!) HCS5QA (Hector) even tells us when he's about to jump in the shower. Team leader LastCall2003 (Beth) has her hands full with this team. (Or maybe she's the one instigating the trouble!) If you haven't already done so, stop by and enjoy the fun!

Team7 - Team Wild Hippos
Home of two hot Aussie women, kaqphin ("Super Cat") and light_sabe_r (Maddy), this team also features a bunch of former Posion Apples, the first team to achieve 100% of the goals in last month's challenge. Look out everyone, this team is MOTIVATED. In fact, Lyssa-gator (Lyssa) has issued a challenge --> Who can be the first person to 25% of their goals? Want to take her up on this? Stop by the Team 7 thread and let her know. Better hurry, because jasonbohn9 (Jason) has already counterchallenged by saying he could achieve 25% by Tuesday!

Team8 - Hard Core Tri Corps
Led by fearless leader BunnyB (Melissa) aka "General Bunny", this team has four California members! TriAya (Yanti) finished a 23 mile run, and delcared it "sweet and smooth." Mbmoran2 (Brian) declared his long term goals are to qualify for the Boston Marathon and tackle the Ironman. This team has some impressive performers! Crabsrule (Brenda) discovered what it's like to race on hills and in hot weather. This team always welcomes visitors, so come in and say hello. If you stop by though, be forewarned that TriAya (Yanti) aka "Sergeant Doberman" may assign you a team job! (Don't worry, you can handle it!)

From BT News Headquarters, this has been your weekly Challenge update.

Say what? Hm. Maybe I need to visit more often.....
