This challenge was a bit different, and the results seem to show that it was a tougher challenge than the first one. We still had an absolutely great success rate - both in terms of people finishing the full challenge, as well as in terms of getting folks up and moving and starting out 2012 strongly.
It's interesting that more people found it harder to achieve the "sessions" part of the challenge than the "hours" portion. Consistency is a very tough thing to accomplish - any can do something a few times, but it is tough to stick with things, like exercise, that are hard. Take a few moments to pat yourselves on the back.
Now for the amazing stat the email hinted at: collectively, we accomplished over 28 days of continuous exercise/movement. Over 675 hours of exercise. Think about that for a moment -- you were part of a challenge that resulted in the equivalent of one person exercising every hour of every day for the entire month of February. Holy cow that's impressive!
If you accomplished the full MMT2 challenge - congrats. If you didn't make the milestones, but still participated and moved more than you otherwise would have - congrats.
We hope you've enjoyed the challenge. We hope that the MMT2 challenge helped you kick off the calendar year (and possibly your training year) in a positive way. We've heard from several folks who have 5k's, tri's, and even
longer distance events planned - best of luck as you continue your training path.
And yes, there will be an MMT3. We're still pondering events and distances (have to have something to do while staring at the black lap lane marker at the bottom of the pool...), but expect an update soon. If you have any crazy
ideas, we'd love to hear about them. In the meantime, work on finding a "battle buddy" to do the next challenge with - it's always fun to share the madness with others!
