Champion 23360   Taser-World | Subject: RE: They Came From Outer Space: The Mutant Green Peeps Don't forget the March Challenge Penalties! 1) If your team looses the Peep Wars then you will be required to change your avatar to a Peep/Marshmallow for the month of April. 2) If you fail to meet your personal goal in the Peep Wars, you must add a signature line that declares " I am a marshmallow and need to harden/toughen up!" for the month of April. |

| Tiffin, Ohio | Subject: RE: They Came From Outer Space: The Mutant Green Peeps I got up early to hit the hotel workout room before my long day of travel back to NY. I put in my miles, fired up the computer, and logged the workout. Then.... Doh! I mis-calculated. I need another half mile to reach my goal. It is supposed to rain all day Monday but I guess I can ride a lap of the parking lot in the rain just to be done. Close. So close. Hope everyone else is better at counting than I am. |

Master 2355 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: They Came From Outer Space: The Mutant Green Peeps So after my race today I'm at 492 out of my goal of 475. So I hit 100% no problem, now the only question is do I do a easy spin tomorrow to hit 500 miles?  |

Master 1678 Olney, MD | Subject: RE: They Came From Outer Space: The Mutant Green Peeps 1 hour and 36 minutes left for me. Most likely heading to the gym after work to get it done on a spin bike unless it stops raining |

| Tiffin, Ohio | Subject: RE: They Came From Outer Space: The Mutant Green Peeps I hope I win for "Most ridiculous ending" for this challenge. I needed just under 0.7 miles to meet my goal because I miscounted. I flew from Vancouver to NY yesterday which took me out of action all day. I woke up this morning to heavy rains and a sore throat. With no access to a trainer or a stationary bike it was ride outside or nothing. Right? Nope. I decided to ride around in circles in the basement of my apartment complex. I had to take a few breaks to keep my head from spinning too much but I got it done. |

Master 1678 Olney, MD | Subject: RE: They Came From Outer Space: The Mutant Green Peeps DONE!! I did the remaining time on the trainer reading Harry Potter. I didn't push very hard, but I did sit on that darn thing for an hour and 45 minutes. Reading really helped the time go by. I guess I can't secretly make fun of the folks that read on the bike and the treadmill at the gym anymore.. who knew they figured out an awesome way to make the time fly by during an easy workout!? |

| 193 | Subject: RE: They Came From Outer Space: The Mutant Green Peeps Woohoo! Good job team! How's this for dedication?? So, I left work early yesterday to get in my final 20 miles. Now, this would have been super easy since I have a local lake that's approx. 5 miles each lap. But like most lakes and woodland areas around dusk, with lots of vegetation, water, and widlife, there are also LOTS of.... any guesses?? BUGS!!! LOTS AND LOTS OF BUGS!! Now, I'm use to running at about 6mph and still getting super annoyed with bugs flying into my face and possibly swallowing them. Think about what it was like for me on the bike going 20 mph.  Needless to say, I became a human windshield. I could hear multiple *splats* against my jacket all the way around. I was seriously trying to stay tucked in aero to avoid as many as the critters as possible (what actually still happened was some got caught in the grooves of my helmet). I was able to do one lap successfully, was about to throw in the towel, but then told myself to HTFU, and so I went AGAIN, and suffered EVEN MORE. Thank heavens I didn't crash since I had my head down for probably at least half the lap. Honestly, I would rather bike in rain and snow than through BUGS. Just imagine a slight downpour, but replace the water drops with bugs, and that's what it was like at times. When I finally stopped, I had to shake out a ton of em out of my jacket and helmet. Anyway, at this time I had only completed about 10 miles. I was so pissed off and annoyed at the situation that I was content to just stretch my mileage a bit (doing 20 miles at any other time during the day would have been super easy), but on the way home, I just couldn't let it go. I guess you know you're a triathlete when you're THIS true to your training. So I got home, hopped on the trainer, and finished my 10 miles. |
