Okay team, sign up here. look at your training plan, count your miles/minutes goals in each discipline and post here. If you can't run, for example, just put zero down for that activity.

I'll look at my logs and post my goals later--I'm off to go visit the dentist.

Unless the Team is full already, I've got the avator already, so sign me up.

Are we trying to get together a team for those doing River Cities?

Speaking of dentist. I am getting my wisdom teeth out on July 15th and will probably be down a week. I will make sure that my goals reflect that.

Thanks Lynda.

OK, Lynda. Count me in. I'll get the totals to you later today or tomorrow.
Have the rules of engagement been sorted out?

I used to get picked last in gym as a kid because I was so puny, so I'm almost afraid to ask - can I be on your team?

The rules for deturmining your goals it to be relastic. Don't set them so low you know you wwill shatter them on your first time out in each sport, but do set them so high that you can't do what ever tapper you need to do for an event.
If I count right in this thread you will be number 8 for the endless summer team.

And correct me if I am wrong, but this challenge it's just MAKE GOAL or NOT MAKE GOAL - no percentages over or under. Or has that been scrapped?

No, I'm number 8 and CindyK's number 7 because TriMom3 didn't commit, she just asked a question! Gotta do some calculations to come up with my goals. Can I set my goal in minutes?

I don't know if those things have been ironed out yet by the captains under the watchfull eye of Renee

Tania, rules have not been carved in stone yet. We haven't come up with a formula for calculating who wins. I agree that a new formula should be devised and the Team Captains will each have a say on what the formula should be.
Right now we're at the cat herding stage.

1. Me (using minutes): 820 minS/1030 minB/655 min run
July events: Disco tri (sprint) 10 Jul and Caney tri (OD) on 24 Jul. Am considering the Tour de Paris on 16 Jul.
2. mnewton (with the Endless Summer logo)
3. hoff1732: 26,000S/360MB/104MR
4. Vapor Trail
5. Kepola: 15,000S/150MB/25MR

I'd also like to know if you have any tris, tours, or other organized races coming up this month so we can motivate each other.

Let's get out there and do it! And in the meantime, please harass as many of the other teams as possible.
