This sounds like so much fun, but is there a team that's not as hardcore? Like one that doesn't mind coming in last or something? I'm willing to work, but I wouldn't want to disappoint anyone...

I can't say there is a team that is willing to come in last. It is designed to be a RACE. However, as long as you do the challenges each week (they are not difficult at all, and can be modified to fit all types of physical abilities), keep active and accountable about your exercise minutes (by logging on the spreadsheet), stay with your team the entire 8 weeks, you won't disappoint! Although we do hope you join us, every team will be "in it to win it", and have fun (while getting support) along the way!

@jenilla1 please do not feel intimidated like you have to put in ridiculous amounts of fitness. It is a group effort and as such we all just do what we can. Some weeks you might have low numbers because life happens, another week you might have amazing numbers because you had an extra walk or something else that you are able to count towards the minutes. As for the challenges, all we can ask is that you give it your best effort at trying to do them all, but sometimes it just won't work out. That said, I am pretty competitive and would like to win...but that's not the main goal of this challenge...it is to get more of us moving and healthy and have an amazing time doing it. Also, the support you can get from your team is absolutely phenomenal. Hope you find the perfect team for you!! My team would love to have you, but I will be motivated to win also!! Lol.

I like to win, too. I just don't know how hard core this is and don't want to drag a team down. I would consider myself much more fit than my peers in general, but I'm not that awesome. For instance, I love to run long distance, but I'm not fast. My profile pic is me at the end of a relay marathon - so there's some amount of proof that I am willing to work AND work as part of a team. I'm fairly active, almost every day normally, and I am good with following through when people are counting on me. I am also willing to pick up slack if someone else in the team has an off day. If anybody wants me, I will sign up. Not sure how this works - if we get assigned to a team or if someone requests us or what. Looking forward to it. I'll go to the link and attempt to sign up now.

Thanks for the explanation.

Also, what counts for mileage in the race? I run, hike, backpack, mountain bike, swim, etc.

MissionEnforcer

@jenilla1 Mileage equates to exercise minutes. Everything you listed would count.

lynnbaum

Can I join.

lbenson2006

@lynnbaum please do!! You just use the link at the top of this post that links you to the group page. That is where you can join the group. Teams will be assigned 10/15 and the race begins on the 17th! Good luck and welcome!!

lbenson2006

@jenilla1 if there is a particular team that you would like to be on, you can make that request on one of the threads under the group link, and mission enforcer will do his best to accommodate. If not, team placement is done randomly. You sound like an awesome team member, and I would love to have someone like you on my team. Great job on the relay by the way!!
