East Coast Hipsters - May "President's Cup" challenge (Page 7)

thanks i'll keep you posted....

That'd be me.  Damn, I thought I was catching up to some of ya'll.  But I am glad to see the team doing well. 

 Hang in there, Klein.  Hope the back improves.

Hopefully, if we're now all posting to the new spreadsheet we'll make a huge leap in the second week standings!

I've got to make a special shout out to:

Reno8 

Steve is at 70+% !!!

Awesome effort!!! (but maybe you need to increase your goals!) 

sounds like he might be sandbagging

Sounds like you're jealous you're not on our team.   

Perfectly Pointed Out (besides...she spends more time in our area of the country anyway   )

LOL!

what can I say?

I am BUSTED!

oh wait - I think I was supposed to be protesting my innocence!

oops  

ok it looks like i need to change my goals... I was able to swim yesterday, but my back was hurting, but not that bad.  I had to use the pull buoy the entire time. 

new goals.

Swim 15000 down from 20000
Run 25 miles down from 50miles -- this will be a challenge
Bike 16 hours keep this the same.

Sorry i had to make the change. 

We'd rather that you not hurt yourself. No need to apologize. 

Bummer about no wralking or biking!  Good thing you like to swim

Let me know if you want/need to reduce your goals. 

Hey guys,

Just to let you know, I've moved the old spreadsheet into a different folder. I think some people may have been updating the wrong spreadsheet and I want to make sure that this doesn't happen, so that every team receives full credit for their effort!

Heya folks...thought I'd finally check in.

Things have been going really well for me.  I had my first ever 5k on Saturday and managed to run a whole mile for the first time ever in my life (I think my previous long distance was way closer to half a mile).  And I've made all my workouts so far this month so I'm really psyched about that.

I'm also going to have to change my goals due to injury (I PM'd Gilly already).  After my race, my slightly bad left achilles and right hip nagging pains have really flared up (I was hobbling worse than my 87 year old grandfather for a while there) so I need to give myself some time off from running.  So I changed my run and bike goals (upped the bike to compensate) to:

Run: 12 miles (down from 20 miles)
Bike: 13 hours (up from 10 hours)

Y'all have been doing really well and I'm really excited to be on such a great team this month.  I'll try to get in on the conversations a bit more now that work is settling down.

Congrats on your first 5k. I'm sorry that you are injured. Take care of yourself and don't hurt yourself further for the sake of this challenge!

I've made the change on the spreadsheet. 

Congratulations on your first 5k, Kelley!!  Did you write a race report?

Take it easy and get the achilles healed.  We really don't want you to get injured more to do the challenge, so cutting back on your goals is smart.   

Thanks and yes I did write one (on Monday when I got to work and finally had internet again). 

My new run goal is only another 4 miles and I figure worse comes to worse, I'll just walk those.  I'm seriously cutting back on my running in prep for my first race in July and focusing on the bike anyway.  I figure the faster and easier I can get to the run, the more likely I am to be able to run parts of it, but if I have to, I'll walk it.  I'll finish either way

It would be really creepy if you said that about swimming. That's when we'd start looking for the pod.

I rarely get out for mid-week rides unless it's a bike commute.

Hey, I like swimming!  It's the running that's not so much fun.
