Ghoulies October: Team BT
BY: disturbed275 on 2010-09-30 5:58 PM

So I just noticed that the challengers this month did not have their own team thread set up so I thought I'd get it rolling for you guys.  From the depths of my ingenious mind I creatively named you Team BT (as this was set up as a ghoulies vs. everyone sort of challenge).  If you have something else you'd like to be called let me know.

So come on in and introduce yourselves.  Stop on by throughout the month to encourage each other, discuss your workouts and progress, and smack talk the ghoulie team behind our backs (or you can stop by our thread to do the same, as many of us will likely be here to rabble rouse as well)

If you haven't done so already, get your goals up on the spreadsheet.  It can be found here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0An7ZkKfHG1L1dGV0NWRUaXVtME56QWN6MkN2VTd2TVE&hl=en#gid=0

Remember to update throughout the month as well!  Good luck to everyone and most of all, have fun this month!

My name is Bill and I am a Ghoulie but thought I would say hi to everyone.

A little about myself:  I am shy, I don't like to ride my bicycle, I tend to work more than BT so I am not around that much, and other than that I wish you all the best of luck this month.

For those blessed at the end of the month to be chosen for our secret Ghoulie clique - congrats

For those not chosen - well there is always next October.

Have a great month and remember tomorrow is 10/1 but it is Friday and we never train on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays.  It is sort of an unwritten rule we all follow in Ghoulieville!

Hi Neal and Bill!

You know me   for the sake of those who have yet to join the tread I'm Judi.  I am rehabbing a rather stubborn torn gastrocs and am allowed to swim and do upper body strength training, core work, PT and pilates.  I am bored out of my mind with those things but we have at least 2 more weeks of the chlorine play pen (keep me away from dangerous objects, I may do bodily harm if I have to think about that statement)

Hi!

I'm Melissa. I just finished my first season of tri, which consisted of training all summer and completing one sprint distance triathlon in September. I plan to compete in more triathlons and runs next year and am working to improve my fitness during off season. I have only been training aerobically regularly since the start of April so I still have work to do, but am steadily building my foundation. I'm from Ontario Canada and am a Kinesiologist/High School Teacher/Personal Trainer.

Nice to meet all of you! Now let's kick some Ghoulie @$$!

Hi everyone!

I'm Rachel and I'm currently in Australia so my days and tri season are opposite to most peoples on here.

I have only one sprint tri to my name, from the end of last season, but plenty of straight running races and a few bike races too. I put off tri for so long because I hate hate HATE swimming, but I just got myself a swim coach and I'm hoping for decent improvements this season. Next tri planned for start of December and we will see where it goes from there....
Oh, also tri is my second sport right now, I train and fight muay thai (next fight in 2 weeks time) so that keeps me fit but fitting all my training in takes a lot of scheduling and a patient husband.

Happy Friday Challengers - I'm Lisa and I'm a sad sad Red Sox fan here in Boston.  Now that our season is OFFICIALLY over I have to get back to training to keep my mind of my broken heart.  It was an injury filled year for my boys.... and I know LOTS of us know how that feels.

As for me this was my 3rd year  of Tri-ing - and my first year of 13.1 (2).  My winter goal is to beat my first 13.1 by ALOT (that race is in Feb so I have lots of time to procrastinate - I mean TRAIN)

Unfortunately I fall into the 'no training on Friday' category but I did train 4 straight days this week and thats a major milestone - and I have a 5k run/obstacle course race tomorrow so I'm 'resting' for that!

Let's scare the pants off of the Ghoulies!!!!

I was being nice. I was helping them with their post count so they won't be too far behind us at the end of the month.

We have a post count quota? Thanks for keeping the noob informed!

RE: Ghoulies October: Team BT

In that case... Ghoulies should start fresh since we've all been posting there for the past week...

RE: Ghoulies October: Team BT

It has been suggested that many people participate in challenges to increase their post count to make it look better.

While I do not believe that is true, there are rumblings out there about the subject.

We did start a new thread for us as well.  It is our monthly thread that usually involves 2-3 threads because they freeze them at 85 pages to keep the load down on the site.

Good morning!!  We're off to a WET start to October here...  as I type I have to watch for my waterlogged ceiling tile to come crashing down on me here at work.  At least it's Friday!!  Friday is usually a rest day for me too but that's more to rest my legs than anything else.  So I still plan on getting in my first strength/core session today.
