Distance Challenge Entries

This is how I see it. That slow half mile home is a legitimate cool down and you're still jogging. I'm not a fan of counting walking at all but I can live with the 15 minute/mile rule. But if we start counting cool down walks it's only a matter of time until this thing devolves into people start wanting to count anything that involves movement.

All I can say about the cyclists so far is that nearly half of their miles have been clocked by an SOB who refuses to participate on CUF out of 'principle.' I think we should have two sets of cyclist results. Those that only include CUF participants, and those that include CUF-hating 'ringers.'

Those are some nice features on the spreadsheet. I like the addition of the individual total next to each name. I also like how you put nikuman right below me on the main page standings, right where he belongs.

As far as teams go, this is just a suggestion, but perhaps you should chance Sea Chicken to the running team and RCViking to the cycling team. You know, seeing as how they are probably the two strongers single sport athletes in their respective sports. Just a thought.

Also, Archaea and Coach McGuirk are most certainly cyclists. No question. Book 'em dano.

Isn't that what VV did last year? It looked like he was running a crazy number of miles, but all he was doing was golfing a couple of rounds every day.

2 years ago, but yes, he golfed a couple of rounds every day, then was reporting 90+ mile weeks.

Oh, it's on now! I should have recalibrated my Nike+ before that challenge instead of after. Stupid foot injury.

I remember that. I was still struggling to run at all back then, and seeing that made me quit altogether.

Easy there niku. No need to get upset. I'm sure BBB will move you ahead of me in the standings if she thinks that you deserve it. She just doesn't seem to think that way yet.

btw, what are your plans for running this weekend? Just wondering.

I put in 25.00 yesterday on my road bike. My first road bike (picked it up yesterday) and my first 25 on it…felt great. I hope to knock out three rides a week.

Very nice. What did you end up getting?

And does this mean we can include you on the cycling team?

Thanks for catching that. I did a quick scan of the rest of the list, and I don't think I mixed anyone else's teams up but I don't claim infallibility. If I have anyone else in the wrong place, let me know.

Where is Coach? I agree; he should be on the team.

An Allez E. But I asked for spd pedals (I didn't want new shoes), so I'm out there rocking my mtn bike shoes and shorts on my roadster.

So I changed my run time so as not to include my cool down or warm to avoid the VV thing. I am fine with that.

Family in town. Only two miles.

Very nice choice. Specialized makes a great bike.

I rode several thousand miles on my road bike in mountain shoes before switching. I see nothing wrong with that. I think mountain shoes are often more comfortable than road shoes anyhow. As to the shorts, we may have to talk about that one.

Do you mean before he threw a hussy fit and quit? Then yes.

Also, how does Archaea have miles for yesterday and today on the front page, but only miles for yesterday are entered on the cycle page?

[marsupial]

Typically, 14 to 17 Miles for a 50-minute spinning workout, excluding the 10 minute warmup/warmdown period.

So are we counting spin class? Also, I've been working out on one of these lately:



It's a kick butt workout. Can I count that?
