KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

[Lyssie]

Sooo... Here's the official KATA2 Sign-up. Let's see how many folks we can get to torture and push themselves this time around!! C'mon, we need more than 2 people to finish!!!

Re: KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

Lyyyssssie -- don't you have to tell us exactly what we're signing up for this time, before we agree to do it??

Re: KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

I'll sign up (I missed out on the first one and don't want to miss the opportunity for the second), but I need to ask you some stuff first to see if I need to drop another challenge...???

Re: KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

Yes, you can use the same mileage/times/etc for this that you use for others. I'm not *that* psychotic. I think that finishing is already tough enough.

No Adena, you first sign-up, then I tell you what you have volunteered yourself for.

Lemme find the specifics and post them...

Re: KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

Ok, here's how it works. It's a triathalon, so there are 3 legs. You sign up for which 3 things you want to do from the following list:

running (treadmill/outside/skipping/hopping/jumping/cartwheeling/etc) - 30 miles
elliptical - 30 miles
swimming - 10 miles
rowing - 30 miles
stairclimber - 25 miles
bicycle - 100 miles

If you want something else listed, just name it and we'll figure out a distance that will be considered torturous...

If you have *not* completed a previous triathalon and have a good reason, you may choose 2 instead of 3, which means you would do one twice. You may not do the same activity for all 3 legs (unless you're a bunny and the only thing you know how to do is hop, in which case I need a state or federal issued picture ID). The preference here is, of course, to have everyone do all 3.

Any other questions??

Re: KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

Okay, I'm in. I'll do running and bicyle, IF we can count spin class toward bike miles, and IF we don't have to finish one task before we move on to another, which I believe is a revision you said you were considering for KATA2, correct?

My "good reason" for only doing two is that I really want to take body pump class two days a week, which seriously cuts into my available gym time. Is that reason enough?

Re: KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

Ummm... I'm thinking that if you're going to be doing them at the same time, you should be doing all 3... it's 6 weeks, and I know your workout schedule. You can run over 13 miles in one *day*.

Re: KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

I'm thinking, treadmill, elliptical, rowing...but may revise one to include the bike...what day does this start Lyssie?

[Lyssie]

Re: KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

17 March... The last day will be memorial day.

Re: KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

So I can count miles for all three legs simultaneously? I don't have to finish the bike leg before I can report the running leg? Or are you giving me tougher rules because I did the first KATA?

*IF* I can count all three legs simultaneously, then I'd like RUNNING, BIKE, and STAIRCLIMBER. I hate the stairclimber because it hurts, so I figure I might as well get better at it.

Did you mean APRIL 17?

Re: KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

I lready commited to the April Mileage challenge for 300 miles.....does that mean I just use them here for this?

If I picked Bike x 2 that means 200 miles on bike?

And I could use my WATP miles for number 3?

[Lyssie]

Re: KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

Grr.. I was *CONSIDERING* letting people do that. No, Julie, you cannot. Beings as you finished the first one, you get nothing special, sorry. I *am* trying to keep it challenging so people have to work hard in order to do this, but I would prefer having more than 2 people complete it this time.

yes, I meant April 17th. Yes, I am retarded.

[Lyssie]

Re: KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

Lady Hawke - is there a reason why you couldn't do another thing instead of 2 bike (like no access to other equip, etc)? If there is, yes, you could do bike, watp, bike...

[julirama723]

Re: KickAss TriAthalon (2) Sign-Up

OK, then count me out. There's no way I'm going to be able to finish this doing the three legs separately with the end of the school year approaching...unless I spend 3 hours a day at the gym.

Sorry to be a party pooper.

Sorry.
