I love the accountability of a challenge, but the distances you all are posting.  Yikes!

I'm going to throw my measly 9k yds in the mix for the men.  I did 8k last month and don't want to push it...I'm still trying to learn how to swim.

No weighting...keeps it easier for me to update and all.  Basically all I have to do to assess the Boys Vs. Girls status is tally the toal yards pledged and completed for each team and divide through for the aggregate %.

That's the beauty of it...you set a goal that is a challenge to you and it still helps the team equally if you reach it...your 9km and my 40km are individual challenges but 100% is 100%.  So push yourself to a personal goal regardless of how it compares to others.

Count me in for 45,000 meters.

Can't let the gauntlet go unanswered.

I may revise that up depending on my schedule/plan from the coach. :D

OK, one more for the guys. Count me in for 18,000 yards.

I assume racing yardage counts...

Count another guy in for 12,000 yards. This will definitely be the most I have ever swam in a month, but I am starting the Olympic Swim Focused Plan for my A Race in August.

I'll join you on the lesser yardage there Hawkeye-- sorry ladies, I've only been swimming for a few months so I can still only dream of posting that kind of yardage. But I'll do everything in my power to keep my percentages up.

Put me down for 12, 000 yards.

And I promise to also be good and post my workout in the logs. I've been horrible lately-- I'm trianing, just not posting.

I will not let my fellow Chyks down.

Come on Chyks-- go the extra mile.
No one, and I mean no one wants to see a swim suit shot of me.

-- Happy swimming--
Mindie

Okay boys...the girls have begun the trash talk.  I tend to more of the quiet type letting my actions speak for me.  So how about we let the women run their mouths as usual (oh...was that smack talk?) while we log our workouts.  Before they realize what happened we'll have blown them out of the water.

Here's the pledges for the guys so far:

Don't you guys ever BIKE and RUN??? I spend the vast majority of my time running/biking... it's where I need the most work... But, I can commit to SOMETHING... I mean I WANT TO BE ON THE TEAM!!!! 

You can put me down for the rather measly goal of 12,000 yards. (!!!!)

Doesn't matter actually...it's your individual goal so use whatever unit of measure applies.  We're doing % of goal reached for the team challenge so units are irrelevant.

I'd like to stipulate that the men have a long-stem rose in their mouth when they post their speedo shots.

Your total yardage is higher, but the average yardage is 23,966 to our 23,833. And that's with your 3 +40k pledges skewing the results. Yer gonna looooooooose!!!
