Dec. Swim Challenge: Crazy Canucks! (Page 7)

Hey it's the effort that counts....at least we didn't have any money down on it!

by the way, what did the losers have to do (i don,t want a butt avatar for the next month if i can avoid it) ? i didn't read about the terms of the challenge.

Almost 2/3rds of the way done.    How is everybody else doing. ??

Chippit, What's  the problem about having a butt shot.  It beat's having the speedo shot the boys had to post 2 years ago.

Hey there all I had a light week last week but got out Sunday and picked up 2800mtrs so over 1/2 way there I have 3 swims planned this week, and will try a few doubles over Christmas break. I am now aiming to beat my distances for this challenge. Boy has this made a difference for me some real incentive to hit the pool again.

Go team Go!!!

When I was a scout leader we did canoe certifications and part of the course was swimming two lengths of the pool fully clothed with shoes etc, man was that different,I finished 1/2 a lap ahead of the rest of the group ( maybe I am a bit competitive...maybe )

Hi All,

I am suffering from some sort of allergic reaction so I have not been in the pool at all.  I'm hoping things clear up in the next few days and I'll finish my goal.

Spreadsheet Updated

Note - I have updated as of Sunday nights totals.  I know some of you (like me) got in a swim today (Monday) but todays distance is counted towards next weeks totals.

Some folks need some inspiring so please review the spreadsheet and start pushing your fellow teammate.

I'm looking to get approval to drop jonow6 (Jonathan).  He's been injured all month so hasn't logged any workouts in any sport.  I don't like to drop teammates but I also don't want someone to hurt themselves overtraining when they come back just to make their goal.

On a personal note - while I am behind where I should be - I have every intention of making my goal.

Wish you all a great week swimming!

Steve

What's wrong with TWO BIG SWIMS..... ramp up to the new year.

Okay you Crazy Canucks - Today is Wednesday December 20th which means you should be 65% completed (20/31) by the end of today.

Roll Call - where are you at and will you make your goal?

I'm at 70% completed (9100 of 13000) and yes I will make my goal.

As of this morning I am 78% complete ( 11800m/15000m).

 All I need is one more big swim to finish.  I already had my turn being sick this month.  I will complete and most probably do more than my goal.

Hey checking in at 58% and will definately make my goal (and beat it)

I am OK dropiing team mate Jonow less pressure the better when recovering from injuries. Get better soon.

I'm over here at 78% of my goal.  Will be finishing up with my last swim tomorrow.. then, off on holidays!

Excellent replies from everyone so far.  DRM posted the complete spreadsheet (all teams) in another thread.  I added a couple of formulas to check what percentage of each team is swimming at pace (checking each individual).  This was taken as of this past Sundays results.

 Give yourselves a pat on the back you Crazy Canucks. 

Well I think that I'm sitting pretty close to 50% right now.  I picked a pretty challenging goal for myself with so much going on this month but I think that I will get there.  I just need to get in the pool a few more times.  I'll do my best Canucks .

Steve ,

How many members are on each team.  I guess I could go into each thread and check it out myself but I'm just  thinking that  you might already have that info. 

If I recall from last year the Florida Stinking Fish or the atlanta group only had a few members and once one of them finally updated ther log they jumped way ahead. Wondering if each team  have about the same number of people.
