Headed out for a 10 miler and commented to husband about how freezing it was going to be at 27 degrees. He said, " But you get another point!" Yes, I do! 17 point run today- bam!
6.7 miles this afternoon for 60 minutes. 2x Z4 miles. Total of 9.7 Close, but no cigar on the temp bonus. Wish there was a wind bonus, as it took one mile off of my run.
What a great challenge and even with more miles than I have run consecutively in many, many years. It took me a while to understand how to calculate the numbers (OK, I'm an old guy) but I rounded down the miles for all the runs and no extra for all the 1.? hour runs. Today's run was NOT pretty and I was really tired and it was cold but, I got a great start to 2015. 8 days, two cities, 68.1 miles, 10 hours 52 minutes and add in two spinning classes for a great challenge(no points for the spinning classes). Win Loose or draw...I gave everything I could. I hope to see you all on an IM race course this year. Thanks EN, you are the best...
my '14-15 HRC is complete. less mileage than last year, but glad to run every day and score the 5 point bonus while hitting some high intensity NOS workouts
this year, I had the pleasure of running many of the miles with my 8-month old dog and 10-year old son -- quite a treat!
6.2 miles tonight for over an hour in sub 30 degree temps. Slow going after yesterday's 5k Time Trial and a late night last night. 20 points more than last year, though I was in the middle of the NOS which made running 8 consecutive days a bear.
Alas, Number 2 I remain for this challenge as a younger En'r finds Z4 for a full 7 miles. Ugh! I thought I had it! Congratulations Shaughn Simmons from Team Texas for a great effort.
Hmmmmm...Jim Hogan, Unless I misread, I have 81 points and you have 80. Great job, Shaughn!!
My main goal was to run every day - I have never done that many days in a row in my whole life! And the bonus points for threshold miles sure made me run faster! Great challenge!!
Leslie, Missed you all the way at the top of the list. Congratulations to you and Shaughn. Since points calculator was broken I rounded everything down but will accept making it to the podium on this one.
Great job everyone! Some of you had to endure rough running conditions, so kudos to you! This made for a nice change in my training routine. Happy New Year to all!
What a great competition! Although Team Texas took 2nd, we sure did put up a great fight! Last year that Ottawa Sleeper Cell put in like 529 miles, which is beyond reach for us mere triathletes! This year we were in 2nd by about 13 points and made it a lot closer.
