    So I just tried to look at the spreadsheet and it says I need permission to access it ???? I got into it earlier so I am not understanding the problem.

    Spreadsheet closed for the week about 40 minutes ago (9 pm CDT) . Will reopen after Mission Enforcer makes the transition for the next destination.

    The spreadsheet closes at 9:00 P.M. PDT on Sunday Evenings! If you tried to access after that, it was shut down while this next week is being prepared.

    The spreadsheet basically is closed for a period of time as Mission Enforcer preps it for the new week. He will post later this morning when it is back up.

    I saw that in week 3, we are not to put links of videos in threads. For the last 2 weeks, I have picked 1 video to put in my news thread to encourage others who are not in this challenge to try something new. I haven't copied anything else.....just 1 video link. May I still do this?

    For the radio calisthenics, we do not have to do all the videos at least once during the 5 day period, correct? So for example, if I really love the first two I do on day one, I could do this same exact combo for four more days and would be able to get the challenge points?? Thanks!

    We would love to have you post the challenge videos on your News Feed! That way I will know you find them useful enough to share!

    We are only asking that the challenges not be summarized on the TEAM THREADS so much that there is no reason for the players to even visit the Weekly Announcement.
    So, carry on! :)

    Yes! Any combo, any order. I like the one with all the different people doing it (the fourth one). They all look so happy! So I will probably do that one most of the time. :)

    A Question for this weeks challenge 3....can we eat back some of our exercise calories or do we have to be under our set # of calories? My workouts are very intense most of the week and I tend to eat some of my calories back, which always puts me over my set calories, however, leaves me under my calories.

    OOPS! Somebody (hawkins410), forgot to post that the spreadsheet was back up last night...it's back up!

    The spreadsheet locks down every Sunday night at 9:00pm Pacific Time, which is the cutoff for logging. It can't be accessed again until I've had a chance to overwrite it with the new weeks info and "zero" it out (usually between midnight and 2:00am Monday morning). I overwrite the old one instead of putting out a new one to avoid repeat access problems for everyone. It's actually the same spreadsheet each week.

    This only refers to the Challenge videos. We basically just want people to have to view the original "Leg" announcements, as A LOT of work goes into making them.

    Sooo... just out of curiosity (and not because I'm super competitive or anything..) is there a "winning team" chosen at the end of the challenge?

    The totals for each week are automatically added together and calculated into the "Grand Total". At the end of the race, the First, Second, and Third place teams get printable "Medals" (made by @MissionEnforcer) and Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth place teams receive printable "Participant" ribbons. At least that is the way he did it last time! :)

    Oh ok, cool. Was wondering if it was most weekly wins, or the total at the end of the challenge, and you answered that also, thanks! :smile:

    20 minutes watching videos although movement not too much jiggling plus 10 minutes gentle stretch. Sorry but been advised not to do squats due to injury but hopefully will be on the mend in another week :/

    She's in another challenge with me and in that one she was able to opt out. For this challenge that's the only mini one she can't do because of an injury.

    Can she compelete something else to replace this challenge! :)

    Good evening @MissionEnforcer for some reason my weights are blank or someone has entered in a wrong weight (twice) on my row- am I doing something wrong? I fixed it tonight but it keeps happening

    Although this challenge does not allow "opting out", we may be able to find a modification that will work for you. Please PM me if you would like to explore this route. :)

    I just checked and it looks to be in order so hopefully it righted itself. If it is still wonky today, then please PM @MissionEnforcer with the proper numbers. Nice progress, BTW!! :)

    CALLING ALL RACERS! DON'T FORGET TO USE THE OPTIONAL WEIGH-IN SHEET IF YOU'D LIKE!

    You can find it under the "Weight Track" Tab on the regular spreadsheet.
    Don't worry if you didn't start during Week One, it will still work for you!

    I was thinking that in the past we have been able to make modifications on these physical challenges if someone had an injury, but maybe that was just for the videos. We have someone on our team with knee problems and she is struggling to get through the challenge... so, if there is a modification she could do, that would be great. TIA
