Could someone who has participated before describe a typical week of workouts etc with this? I'm super interested! I just want to make sure I fully understand the commitment. Thanks!2

There are typically two physical mini-challenge workouts per week. They are not very strenuous and can always be modified to accommodate injuries or other extenuating circumstances. Examples MAY include: Stair climbing, Salsa Dancing, Walking a 5K, Tai Chi, Small Weight Lifting to Videos, etc. Each mini-challenge usually takes no more than 20-30 minutes per week and can be spread out over the entire week.Could someone who has participated before describe a typical week of workouts etc with this? I'm super interested! I just want to make sure I fully understand the commitment. Thanks!
The "exercise a minute for a mile" is done by each player so that his/her team travels the required distance to reach the next destination. The exercise is that which you do above and beyond your normal activities during a day. For example one hour of Zumba = 60 "miles' for your team. The teams will be required to "travel" approximately 5000 miles per week, therefore each racer should plan on doing at least approximately 250 minutes of exercise per week. The minutes spent on the mini-challenges can also be counted toward your "mile minutes".
I hope this helps! It may sound a little overwhelming, but it really isn't once you get going. And of course, you always have your awesome teammates to help you along the way! 5 -
Love this challenge. Can't wait to get going again. Thanks for putting it together! Much appreciated.

1 week left to join what is, in my opinion, the BEST challenge on MFP. I have become absolutely addicted to these challenges and find the team aspect is so motivating. Each team has their own thread for discussions and postings about the challenges and just life in general. The amount of support you receive from your teammates is phenomenal. Cannot wait until the start of the race!! 4

@MissionEnforcer is in charge of that, but he says he's leaning toward 126. That means therelbenson2006 wrote: »What is the cutoff going to be when you switch to the waiting list?

Looks like he's starting a wait list (per the spreadsheet), but even it sounds pretty cool, where those on the wait list will still have their own mini-race while waiting. Man, @hawkins410 and @MissionEnforcer just keep making things better and better.2 -
