Undertrained Challenge - 10 weeks, starting now!!

Okay Rick, I'm in. Been avoiding the challenges, but I desperately need someone to lay on a full Catholic the-pope-is-coming kind of guilt trip if I slack off even a little bit. I will *hopefully* have a huge event coming up in 12 weeks, and it is time to get serious (actually, it was time to get serious awhile ago, but we'll just forget that). I will find out sometime this week if I got in to the Mt Washington Road Race. If I don't eat hills and nothing but hills for the next 12 weeks, I will fall off the mountain. And really, that would just be embarrassing.

In all seriousness, my goal for MWRR has always been, from the moment I decided to apply, to NOT write in my race report that I wish I had trained more. That's my goal. Right now, I won't be able to do that. In 12 weeks, I will be able to do that.

We need accountability. Whaddya say we lay something on the line? Something more than points or standings or all that. I say we make a pot. Everyone throws in $10 to start. Any day you don't work out other than a specifically PRE-planned rest day, you throw in $5. Person who threw in the least...gets the pot. Surely we can make this happen through PayPal, right? Anything other than a doctor's note saying you CANNOT do this any more and you are in for the duration. No backing out.

You game?

Holy bejeezus I love that idea. Stealing and tweaking that "throw money in the pot" thing and bringing it to D.C. Missed workout = money in the fund, fund buys beers for everyone on Saturday.

Now all I need to do is to convince my friends to commit, or find other triathletes in my area who (like me) lack self-discipline but are cheap!
