| Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge Bill, thanks for the spreadsheet. Are we doing goals or just tracking what we get done? Might be nice to have the monthly column do the totals for us. If you want, I can muck around with it and see if you like the changes, or we can go simple and easy and leave it as is! |

| Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge Okay, I mucked around with it. Have I mentioned I am an Excel junkie? It's an addiction. I start playing, I can't stop. Anywho, I added monthly totals, cumulative totals, and a column for standings for every month. Lemme know if the colors are annoying (or just get rid of/change them). I wasn't sure if they'd help people see across the rows. I think we should all chip and get whomever wins this challenge a windproof fleece or something! There's gonna be some hardcore training action going on, I think. Then again, anyone who can tough it out long enough to win probably has more winter gear than they'll ever need...  |

| Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge Yeah, I "practiced" in about 32 and snow drifting down on Thursday, but then Friday it was 52 and bright sunshine! Gotta love fall! I wanted to point out that I added a new sheet to the spreadsheet with the multipliers on it. If you go to the bottom of the screen one says standings and one says something about the scoring (don't remember what i called it). That way we don't have to try to remember. |

| Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge Oh hey, are we counting non-tri stuff in the scoring? I hike, too, but it would seem like the minutes would give me super high points (since I'm often out for 8-10 hours...) |

| Master 2146 East Side of the Bay | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge Thanks for all the work on the spreadsheets. I'm looking out the window and thinking "crap no crappy weather"... I don't think RI will compete with Buffalo, MT & NH but it will be fun to run along with you all. We do freezing rain well here but that's about it. If only I hadn't moved from St Paul-NOT! Hope you all enjoy a weekend of good weather before the challenge starts on Monday. Kathy |

| Master 2146 East Side of the Bay | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge Are we logging all outdoors workouts or only ones that are done when the weather meets one of the modifiers? |

Champion 5312 Calgary | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge so just to confirm, if you go for a run and it isnt rainy, warm, no wind, then you get zero points? |

| Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge Hmm, good question. Or do you just get the minutes, with no multiplier? |

| Master 2146 East Side of the Bay | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge wgraves7582 - 2008-11-03 7:58 AM How I understood it from last year - if you don't have a temperature below 35 degrees then it does not count as crappy weather. This is our challenge so if you think we should change that then we can discuss it. I tend to lean toward agreeing that if it is not below 35 degrees then no big deal. I have enough of it coming soon enough Let me know what you think! If you look at the calculation if you don't have any of the parameters the multiplier is zero so the workout wouldn't count, 1 hr x 0=0. But it also means that if it is raining then it would count for something despite the temperature. So I guess the question is does it have to be cold to be crappy? Or does cold and rain just give you more crappy points? |

Extreme Veteran 1329 Wausau WI | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge We have lows in the 20's and chance of snow by the end of the week, so the crappy weather will be coming soon enough.

| Master 2146 East Side of the Bay | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge wgraves7582 - 2008-11-03 10:00 AM Sounds like a planI researched last years and if it was not 35 or lower you don't score any points. I say we go with that formula for this year. We all know it is coming, sooner or later, and will have to load up the points once the cold hits. I get 65 all week (commuting weather) so I am not complaining at all. |

| Pro 4828 The Land of Ice and Snow | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge Am I doing this right?? 33 degree temp- .5 points wind 8mph- 1.o points bike ride- 1.0 points length of ride- 124 minutes 2.5 x 124= 310 points Correct? I figure I must get some good points for freezing my toes off!

| Master 2005 Silverton, Oregon | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge Could be awhile before I get any crappy weather points. We're in Pasco, WA for awhile. It's raining and windy, but the temp is 55 Great job on the ride aquagirl! |
