If I missed anyone or if anyone else wants to play just post on here and I'll add you. The teams were picked randomly and I mixed runners, run/walkers and walkers.


Each member will add their miles to the running total, captains will just have to add their own miles/hours. We will have two running totals, one for miles and one for hours.

The hours total is for total hours exercised in a day. So if you walk 3 miles in an hour and took a hour yoga class you would and 3 miles to the miles total and 2 hours to the hours total. If a team choses to not compete in the hours competition that's fine but there will be prizes at the end of the year for the team that has the most miles and the team whose members exercised the most hours.

If you have a day that you did aerobics, and a dance tape for 3 hours but did no miles you would only add 3 hours to the hours total and nothing to the miles. A walker who does 20 miles in 6 hours would add 20 to miles and 6 to hours. A runner who did 20 miles in 3 hours would add 20 to miles and 3 to hours.

This is an exercise for fun and motivation so, no name calling, no poking, no elbowing and especially no mooning. However a little good natured "Trash talking" is encouraged. I imagine that Mr Bill can sling some bull droppings.



On Feb 1st the Team Captains will start the thread for their team to log on for the year. Captains please ask your team to give you name suggestions.

The game will run till Dec 31st and prizes will be given out at the Pop Party.

Let the games begin

Competition Panda

 

[windwalker]

Well teams it looks like everytrhing is coming together wonderfully. I know that each team has there own post going to pick names so just post the team names on this thread and I'll get them updated.

I want to remind everyone that this adventure is for fun and to help keep us focused on our training. Remember a little "Trash Talk" is fun but we need to keep encourageing all our WISH brother and sister athletes.

To pandaphrase a quote from John Bingham, we are all athletes, some of us are just a little further along in our training than others.

We have a good thing going for a lot of reasons. There are a lot of husband and wife teams on the WISH. I truely believe that a marriage that includes duing things together like training and racing is a very strong marriage. I see several family teams that include mom and dad and at least one son or daughter. That is just awesome.

There is another quote that a person never stands as tall as when they stoop to help another. The members of the WISH stand very tall. I'm proud to wear that bright magic shirt when I race, because it represents the support and positive energy of the Team.

That being said, our team Hakuna Matata, is gonna kick some bahooty. So be afraid, be very afraid.

War Panda

 

[princessrunner]

Great points oh wise Panda. Also remember that there is no I in team and we are all working for the greater good here. Bear in mind that while I, myself, love the ribbing from the rat pack (you know who you are, Dave, Bill, et al) some people take the jousting better than others and please, please, please be thoughtful of others feelings. Remember we are a family here.

Those kind words having been said...bring on your booty kickin Silly Panda, you gotta catch us first!!!!

Dave - Do our weeks run Friday to Friday? Sunday to Sunday? Whta day will you want the compiled hours by?

 

[princessrunner]

My vote would be Monday through Sunday just cuz that's how my log runs Nothing like being a little selfish right??? The first week (2/1-2/3) would be a short week of Friday through Sunday and then the last week would be 12/29-12/31, Monday through Wednesday, if we did it that way. It would also give those who only want to post their miles/hours weekly a Sunday evening to get on the computer and post them. I am afraid if we do Friday as the end of the week, it will be harder for some to get on and post their info on a Friday evening...at least it would be for me!!

 

[windwalker]

Dave - Do our weeks run Friday to Friday? Sunday to Sunday? Whta day will you want the compiled hours by?

Yes lets go Friday to Friday as the week. Since some of our team can only log from work. It will be ideal to have everything posted each week by friday but since some people might be traveling or otherwise away from their PC there is no harm in being a little late.

However if a team member doesn't post for a month and hasn't notified the team captain to request a sub, that person will be replaced. Should they want to later return they would go to the sub/replacement list.

Sub/replacement team members should keep a monthly running total of their miles/hours since if they are called up to replace a member who hasn't posted for a month, the replacement's last months totals can be added so the team is not hurt by a non posting member.

I realize that life situations can greatly over shadow a fun activity like this and there is no hard feeling about that, just please remember to tell the captain you need a sub or replacement.

We're going to need time to compile the total miles. I'm thinkign more than 1 day. I know ther will eb many weeks, where I have no computer from Friday afternoon to Monday morning. It all comes out in teh wash, though, and we'll likely have to tweak things a little fro each team. Just need to pick teh ending day, so that when results are compiled for teh week, we are comparing apples to apples.

 

[princessrunner]

I guess Carrie, in your situation where you would have no computer from Friday to Monday, ending on Sunday would be a better bet for you as you could compile on Monday. If the week ended on Friday, you would have to wait until Monday again and would fall behinder and behinder (meaning adding wise not team wise). Besides, I don't think that the weekly totals are all that important unless you feel more trash talking coming along......

That works. Thanks Dave! That will give us a full week our first week too.

Good points about needing a grace period each week, like I said though a few days late isn't going to make any difference since the competition will run for a year and captains will only be required to post a team total once a month, on the weekly thread. So actually each team can decide on what works best for them and their captain.

The guidelines I put out are just that guidelines. Each team needs to do what works best for them. The rules about what to post are more important. Since I don't want someone doing a physical exercise and not getting credit for it.

Panda's like to think K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Silly)

[princessrunner]

I will do whatever works. Friday to Friday is more difficult for me, but that is why we have co-captains right??? This is more about the encouragement and exercise and keeping it going. Maybe a captains vote is in order if anyone feels strongly in another direction. Not me mind you, I am not a leader...just an instigator!!!

Works for me Lisa, like I said the captains make those decisions that work best for their teams. Please see my post just above yours. About my guidelines being just guidelines. As long as the captains post an accurate total each month for their team and we end up on Dec 31st with an accurate total I'm happy as a bug in a sweet roll.

[wtpclc]

I somehow missed that we were only reporting back monthly. Then, each team could do it however they want really, right? Friday to Friday works for me, but just clarifying.

 

[princessrunner]

Carrie: I think the weekly totals thing came in one of my posts where I suggested that we post them weekly on the main thread just to cause general hate and discontent among teams....ahem, I mean to encourage others to continue their miles/hours in order to further their teams standings.

 

[Sandy321]

oh mighty Panda - I've stepped up and offered to co-captain Team 5...

We're still in the process of getting input from all our team members about a name...

a concern was brought up that one name that seems to be getting votes is Herc's Heroes or Hercules Heroes - the concern being another team posted this - would it be in poor taste to take a leftover name? Would it offend the originator of said name?

Thanks for the great quotes on TEAM - it truly is what sets WISH TEAM aside - - making me feel like I really can achieve!! (even if its hard for me to believe it myself!)

 

[wtpclc]

I'm not the mighty panda, but I'd just ask the team whose leftover it was. Seems to me it be a compliment to the inventor.

They say all is fair in love and war so "DO IT" we are at war but we love each other. A little industrial spying is using good intelligence gathering. I would wait till that team chooses a name then any left overs are fair game.

Of course as Carrie said it would be nice to ask also.

Too bad all of you will only see the backsides of Team Ohana

Hey Sandy,

Herc's Heroes was a name in our pool (Team 2), but I think we have our choices narrowed down and that is not one of them. While I wasn't the one that suggested it, I think whoever came up with the name would be flattered rather than offended. Just my opinion, of course. I don't remember who originally suggested it, but you're welcme to come on over and ask.

Sandy - I put that name in our Team 2 pool, but I think we are leaning towards another name, so I would be honored for you to use it. I came up with it 'cause it was my son's favorite movie growing up.

Oh and Panda - Do we report the miles we did this week on Friday? Or is this Friday our starting point, and we report our miles next week?
