Subject: Annual December Swim challange, ANYONE???

Last winter we had a pretty good swim challenge going on in December and January, anyone game for one this December too?

Of course I need the motivation. I picked a Long Course tri for April 15th which is just 20 weeks away (man that's hard to believe) and want a better swim...

December 05:

http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=31286&start=71&posts=91

  1. Gamecock Wahoos, MidAtlantic Crabs, Team Utah and New England Pooltriots - 100%
  2. Florida Force - 94%
  3. Crazy Canucks - 92%
  4. Midwest Blizzards - 91.8%
  5. Carolina Curmudgeons - 78%
  6. Georgia Shockers - 73%
  7. Southwest Swashbucklers - 70%
  8. Texas Yeehaws - 66%
  9. Pacific Ring of Fire 55%

91 of the 113 participants (or 80.5%) met or exceeded their goals!! What a tremendous effort. You should congratulate yourselves.

It's a BT Challenge first. Every team met it's goal!

 Tristars 100% 
 Pooltriots 100%
 Canucks 100%
 Blizzard 100%
 Force

 100%

Despite the Tristars lame attempts at smack and the unforgivably arrogant act of changing their avatars before an official ruling was made, I,  in my capacity of Renee for this swim challenge, have decided to certify Pilotncommand172 as having met his goal. The point of the challenge was to swim, not to play 'gotcha'.  There was no evidence of intent to defraud. He made a reasonable assumption that the totals displayed were for the units he was recording.

Congratulations to all swimmers! Well done!...

Count me in!! A swim challenge is exactly what I need about now.  I guess I belong on the Midatlantic Crabs if we go with the same teams as last year.

I'm in! I am not a strong swimmer...not far and not fast. I need the practice and some sort of concrete goal.

You can count me in.  I just found out I have a stress fracture and won't be able to do much running (or even biking) for a while.  I need to swim to try to maintain some sense of fitness.  Maybe this will help motivate me to get to the pool on those cold December mornings!

I'd love to join the swim challenge. What are the exact rules/stipulations? How does one join and become part of a team? I also have a long race in March and need lots of training time in the pool.

Let me know the 411 !

Subject: RE: Annual December Swim challange, ANYONE???

I'm in not biking anymore unless I get a trainer from santa.  I figure I will run in the mornings if I have time and swimming inside might be better on the body.

Wow, its been a year already?

I bailed last time so count me in here. Will just have to guesstimate what will be potentially done in swim team practice.

Go Team Canukleheads!
