Crummy Weather Challenge Week 16 (feb 29-march 3)

boy, my points have really fallen off since joining the Y. i think fiona earned more points than me today biking around in the snow and slush w/ her training wheels

2/27/07 15 x 3 (27 degrees, light snow, no wind, bike) = 45

anyone out there????


2/28/07 = 324.5

this morning... 15 x 3.5 (34 degrees, 16 mph winds, bike) = 52.5

this afternoon... 68 x 4 (36 degrees, 24 mph winds!!!!) = 272

3/1/07 15 x 7 (heavy snow, 27 degrees, 17 mph winds, bike) = 105

heavy snow (near white out conditions)...my new bike light (niterider minewt) worked really well, although it was hard to see through the blowing snow. i rode my new-to-me winter commuter mountain bike, and bill rode his cyclocross bike. this is as close to a date as we're gonna get! noodled around the neighborhood almost wiping out in ruts. good times. we had planned to ride for about 30 minutes, but our glasses kept fogging up, and between that and the snow, we were nearly blind...which wasn't a good thing.

Wed Bike - 195 pts

Fri Run 500 pts


Get out here y'all- the crap is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Good!

is it just the two of us now (and each w/ our own thread? hee hee).

if shoveling counts, then everyone in the twin cities gets points. well, manual shoveling maybe. i shoveled for 35 minutes this morning, and snowshoed for an hour today...but now biking or running outside.

Add 840 for the sloppy ride this AM for a total of 1535! wooooo hooooo!

2/27/07 15 x 3 (27 degrees, light snow, no wind, bike) = 45

2/28/07 = 324.5 (15 x 3.5 (34 degrees, 16 mph winds, bike) = 52.5)
(68 x 4 (36 degrees, 24 mph winds!!!!) = 272)

3/1/07 15 x 7 (heavy snow, 27 degrees, 17 mph winds, bike) = 105

3/3/07 = 24 x 8 (14 degrees, 13 mph winds, bike) = 192


= 666.5 yikes!

I can't believe it but no points for me this week! It was bitter cold all week with windchill getting to -30 and that wind just goes right through you so I was indoors all week. My dog is going stir crazy, she ate a library book last week (the spine of it anyway), so I guess my daughter can say the dog ate her homework! Right now it is 7 with windchill bringing it to -10, hoping this weather changes by midweek, if not sooner.
