Champion  23360      Taser-World |  Subject: April Challenge!For this challenge, you can set goals in ONE to FOUR activities. You can participate in one activity, or two, or three or four. It's up to you!... You define the activities. You set the goals. YOU decide, and set your goals accordingly. To participate: Sign up on this Google spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An7ZkKfHG1L1dHY5MFAxRlZ... You will need to enter the following information to access the spreadsheet: email address: [email protected] password: challengeforum2 If you can't access the spreadsheet: Scroll to the bottom, and look at the bottom right corner. If it says, "edit this page," click that link and enter the info above. If there are enough participants, this will be a team challenge. Otherwise, this will be an individual challenge, with occasional taserings updates provided throughout the month. The ultimate goal of this Challenge is to push yourself in an activity (or activities), to work out, to meet fellow BTers (virtually or otherwise), and to have some fun! Hopefully, this Challenge will give you a little extra incentive and motivation to succeed at your goals – whatever they may be. Welcome to the Challenge! - Dee |

| Subject: RE: April Challenge! I'd like to join in the fun! I know I've got to get on the bike so that'll be one of my challenges. I'll give thought today to what else I want to add and enter it in the spreadsheet by tonight. Thanks for putting this together, Dee! Edited by bswcpa 2013-04-01 9:42 AM |

Expert 1439 Tallahassee | Subject: RE: April Challenge! I want in. I need accountability on the swim. The swim is keeping me from entering a lot of tri's and enjoying the ones I do. My goal is to swim at least 4 times and hopefully 5 times per week with each session being a minimum of 1 mile. Hopefully by the end of April, I will be able to swim 2 miles in a session. Since I'm a non-swimmer is that unrealistic? |

Master 2055 Santa Clarita | Subject: RE: April Challenge! On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim There stood Dee in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, " Another Challenge ? This could be Heaven or this could be Hell" Then she revealed the taser and she showed me the way There were voices down the chatroom, I thought I heard them say... |

If you have access i would recommend working with master group or a swim coach , This will make your time in the pool much more productive . The coaches i have worked with said 3 swims a week is plenty for age grouper . You are better to practice good form than power through workouts . Good form is essential on the longer events . There are online ressourses too of course but nothing beats getting a coach for feedback and drills & workout advice. |

Expert 1439 Tallahassee | Subject: RE: April Challenge! Thanks for the advice Paul, and I'm trying to absorb it all. I need to start going to a master's swim and will, i just feel like I can't keep up with them. I went 1 time for private swim instruction, during their swim practice by mistake, wow they scared me off, they were INTENSE but that is what I need. Thanks for reminding me of them and making me do it! Edited by KWDreamun 2013-04-01 12:25 PM |

Hopefully by the end of April, I will be able to swim 2 miles in a session. Since I'm a non-swimmer is that unrealistic? Can you find a master's swim program? If so, my advice would be to join it. They'd give you structured workouts and drills, and help improve your technique. A big part of swimming is becoming comfortable in the water. I realllllly wish there was a master's swim program around here. Of course, that would require that someone build a pool...... *sigh*... |

Although, the extra post did help boost my post count. |

There's simply too much laughter around here, and that's unacceptable. Now, where's my pink champagne on ice? |
