Work. Unfortunately. And I wasn't able to work out much this week because of it. *sigh*

Anyway, I'm back. Will get some T.I.T.S. in this weekend. Oh wait, does that mean it's B.A.L.L.S.?

I wish I could get some B.A.L.L.S. in the schedule right now. Can't wait until spring finally gets here when I'll get some B.A.L.L.S. every weekend. For now though, I got some T.I.T.S. on the trainer this morning and am getting caught up for my goal this month.

Don't forget to update the spreadsheet with your current information by tonight!

I'll compile the results tomorrow morning, and post the current team standings.

Need a little motivation? Don't forget the penalty avatar!

Whattsa matter? You don't like the cute little Pat's logo?

Oooh, minivan shopping. How, um, "exciting." Of course - you can probably fit a lot of tri gear into a minivan. So maybe it has its uses.

Good morning team!  Welcome to the end of week #2.  We had an AWESOME week.  After updating the spreadsheet, (lots of stuff not logged!) here's where we stand for the challenge:

OMG, I LOVE this!  Much more subtle than... "Show us your T.I.T.S.!"   LOL!

Despite being a Patriots fan I continue to work hard. 2 hours today for my long ride of the week.  Had a 1 hour reverse brick yesterday.

 

Team Standings - as of Sun Feb 17th:

Rank	Team	# of Participants	Percentage completed
1	Running with Scissors	19	55.44%
2	Team Swimming Rocks	33	54.47%
3	Team We :heart: T.I.T.S.	29	53.43%
4	Pitter Patter of Fast Feet aka PFFT	16	52.73%
5	LEMmings - the reRUN. Over the cliff again.	16	50.31%
6	Gingerbread Joggers	16	50.04%

 

Congratulations to RUNNING WITH SCISSORS! They are the current leaders in the Feb Challenge!

Remember, your training needs to be reported on your BT Training log and on the spreadsheet! Team captains - please help your team members log their training correctly.

February is now 59% completed. So there's still plenty of time for you to SWIM, BIKE and RUN!

I'm 1% away, should I increase my T.I.T.S. or should I just let the cup runneth over??

February Challenge Update

For the challenge updates, I usually tell you what the teams are discussing. (This is also known as "The World According to Dee," and it may, or may not, bear any resemblance to what YOU thought your team was talking about. LOL) But when I was looking at the spreadsheets today, I was really impressed by some of the distances and times that some people have logged so far. So today, I'm going to start by giving you some updates on specific people and their progress.

SOME OF THE AMAZING DISTANCES LOGGED TO DATE:

Swimming:
- Devouahy - 67250 meters

Biking:
- TheBear - 144 miles
- Mesteren - 231.8 km (144 miles)

Running:
- Waterdog66 - 168 miles
- Daremo - 145.8 miles

And CONGRATULATIONS to:
- Skarl, who raced in a Duathlon and won her AG!
- Out4atime, who finished her "first race ever," set a PR doing it, and finished in the top quarter both in overall and age group.


And now, the moment you've all been waiting for (or not) --> The Team Updates!

Team Swimming Rocks
Milaminute continues to wave her glitter pink whip at her team. The overall lead slipped away from the team this week, so Mila has advised her teammates to swim anyway they can - including in their bathtubs! (Watch those flip turn though!) Shoeless set a PR distance record. Tntexpres got a new wetsuit. And Betsy855 played with many moon jellyfish during her OWS.


Team We :heart: T.I.T.S.
Tupuppy has a new endurance activity - minivan shopping. Many team members, such as amschrod and MissKelly went out this weekend and got some B.A.L.L.S. (Yes, I bet the rest of you are wondering what that means. You'll just have to visit Team T.I.T.S. to find out.)


LEMmings - the reRun. Over the cliff again.
Many members of this team are dealing with the plague. Daremo and bhoover10001 have started their tapers. Charge4brendan ran the Tokyo Marathon today. (He hasn't checked in yet to give us the results though.)


Running with Scissors
Well, it's clear which team is winning the post count challenge this month. Already up to page 30, this team does plenty of running AND chatting. Skarl raced in a Duathlon and won her AG! Congratulations! She is also philosophizing about whether it's safer to run where there are mountain lions, or where there are people. (OK, so I simplified it a bit. You'll have to visit the team thread to find out the rest.) Lyssa-gator is planning on eating tacos until she pops. TinkerBeth (LastCall2003) is commuting via plane these days. A whole bunch of team members are celebrating anniversaries. GirlPassingOnLeft has gone to watch the AMGEN Tour of California today. And I'm sure there's more, but these guys just type soooo quickly.


Gingerbread Joggers
There have been some humorous pictures posted on this team thread. Zipp1 is highly motivated to win the challenge this month - she REALLY doesn't like the Patriots, and doesn't want to wear a Pats avatar next month. Ilucy2 has discovered the BT route tracker. Enders_Shadow has been traveling a lot. And Dcon is happy that he lives in a country that has some great sushi. And karbates was able to register for a tri event before it closed out.


Pitter Patter of Fast Feet aka PFFT
Kenj ended a post with "Oh, and enjoy your VD." We're hoping he was referring to Valentine's Day! The difference between Naked Running and Nude Running was discussed. AKTri said that it warmed up to 30 F, and declared it "almost naked running weather." Sparco refuses to run in shorts until the weather hits 40 F, and doesn't seem to like running naked. (Or nude, either.) Waterdog66 had a pukefest at the track, followed by a hearty dinner. Geauxtri's dog weighs 103 lbs. And Out4atime, who finished her "first race ever," set a PR doing it, and finished in the top quarter both in overall and age group. Congratulations!


From Challenge Central, this has been your Challenge Update.

Now get out there and swim/bike/run!

- Dee

It's only Feb 17th, I vote for an increase.

Congratulations! I just looked at the spreadsheet, and you've gotten some GREAT T.I.T.S.! Great job!

Sorry T.I.T.S.'ers, let the day, and training, get away from me.  Have Monday off so plan to move my B.A.L.L.S. to Monday.

As I wanted to be on your team but with the MA weather opted to go for a run team...I'm with you guys in spirit. I'm at 191 miles and hope I'll still make 400 this month depending on how the weather goes.
