2013-2014 EN Challenge Schedule/Announcment
Hi Folks:
Well, the OutSeason is upon us and it is time to start thinking about the 2014 TeamEN Winter Challenges! We hold these challenges each year to keep folks motivated and connected in the dark winter months -- note if you live somewhere super nice year-round, here is NOT the place to openly talk about it!
We have made a few changes based on your feedback from last year, so we hope you share our enthusiasm and love of exclamation points!!!!
The big edit is a combination of Team and Solo challenges, as you’ll see below. This will give you the chance to build STRENGTH competing against the Team and developing your MENTAL SIXPACK as you challenge yourself.
To start off, we will keep the tradition of our Ice Cream Time Trial on Kona race weekend. This year it is the weekend of October 12th & 13th (either day is okay!). So be ready to R-U-M-B-L-E!

Team Challenges
These are designed to connect you with your fellow teammates. Some are collaborative, others are competitive. There’s something for everyone here, so don’t be shy in terms of reaching out and having some fun while you suffer and stay fit!
Solo Challenges
For the independent athlete looking for something to keep them on track with their fitness or personal goals, yet you don’t want all the group mayhem...these are for you!
Bonus Event(s)
The big one for the year is our “Secret Santa” contest…whether you celebrate Christmas or not, we use the end of year as a chance to celebrate being part of an awesome Team by practicing the long lost art of random gifting. More on that soon...
So go get your pint of Ben and Jerry’s and be ready to have A LOT of FUN this offseason starting in October with TeamEN!

First year as an EN member - looking forward to the challenges!
And yes, Brenda, as excited as I am about the sleep challenge I'll try to do a few jump squats this month.
Thanks for keeping us all motivated!
