Tracker Spreadsheet News

Woo hoo! More folks, more time zones! Add California time to the list (Pacific Coast Time?).

Two days to go!

This is also posted on the Tracker Instructions tab, but in case you don't check there:

***UPDATE: If you don't see your name on the bottom tabs...it's because we've got a great turnout and the list of folks exceeds the visible space! Yay! At the bottom right is a couple of left and right arrows, plus a little box with lines. If you try hard enough, you can imagine this box with lines as a box with all the tabs listed like a to-do list. If you click on the box, it'll open up a menu with the tabs listed vertically. This might help you find your name and tab faster.***

Wow! Just Wow!

Ok, MortalManTri-ers...here're the stats with just over a week to go.

We have folks from PA, FL, OH, VA, NC, and Norway. Yeah...Norway.

At least 12 folks have signed up...and we've got folks in their 20s, 30s, 50s, and 60s taking the challenge.

Ya'll impress me.

There's still time to join the fun!

We're now a Facebook Event!

Bear posted us on Facebook to lots of great feedback and a couple of sign-ups! Yay!

Sign-ups are still ongoing...we're at 8 and counting! You know you want a challenge....

Two Weeks to go!

Get fired up! Mortal Man Tri goes live in just two weeks! Yay!

There's still time to sign-up.

Mortal Man Tri has a home!

Here's the concept: complete an iron distance triathlon over the course of a month (August). Some places host this and call it "LazyMan"... in our version of the universe, there is nothing lazy about getting off the couch and swimming, biking, and running 140.6 miles. So, we're going to call our version the MortalMan.

Some disclaimers: we are not professionals, this is not sanctioned, you accept all risk and responsibility for participating. By sending us a note/comment saying, "I want to play!" -- you are saying that you have made the decision that you are capable of being physically active and that you realize that while funky trinkets are cool and motivational, they are not an excuse to do damage to your body (specific parts or in general).

With that out of the way...send us an email or post a comment saying, "I want to play!" and you're in. We'll post a link to the tracking spreadsheet. We're going to be posting some rules and the instructions for how to update the tracker.

The distances average out to less than 150 yards of swimming, about 3.6 miles of biking, and 0.85 miles of running per day since August has 31 days! Of course, we encourage you to structure your workouts so that you have rest days.

There will be weekly bonus challenges as well. They are unrelated to completing your distances (we won't add more miles to the challenge).

We're working on a graphic and some t-shirts. Stay tuned for more info! The challenge starts 01 August and ends 31 August. If you drag your feet and don't send the email until 10 August...the challenge still ends 31 August and totals the same distances!
