Swim Challenge injury exceptions???

csmaurer99 - 2005-05-05 10:35 PM In my opinion, the deadline to submit your final prediction is tomorrow (Friday) at noon. Anyone should be able to withdraw their goal before that time as well, with no penalty. After tomorrow, I would have to say that injuries are something that we all have to deal with, but at the same time, most are preventable through proper monitoring of our training and use of recovery days. The whole point of the monthly challenges is not to try and show off to everyone else on BT how many laps you can do or how far you can ride or run. The purpose is to make all of us put in writing a realistic goal that we can acheive in the given month, with a little incentive to actually hit that goal. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that we are all responsible people here and hopefully we all made careful considerations when setting our monthly goals. If an unforeseen injury/illness/business trip arises, do what you have to in order to take care of your body and don't worry about hurting the team, however your score will still count. The lowest percentage will be thrown out anyway, so it might not even affect the team score. Let everyone know that you probably won't be able to hit your mark and the rest of the team can try their best to make up for it. After all, that is what teammates are for, right?
