    It's up now @elise4270 since you created it for us! 😊
    If you are new here there is also a monthly running challenge group with tons of runners at all levels talking about running related topics and life in general as it relates to running (mostly). Come join in and set a goal to get you through January!

    No such thing as a dumb question. ;) Once the year starts we create teams and join them. I cant remember exactly how, but do remember that it wasn't difficult. We do need to think about team names though!

    Reposting to bring this over to the current page. Hoping we get some more activity here. Our teams are pretty sparse this year. Looks like at least 3 good teams!
    Team A
    1. @adampeart 1000 miles
    2. @seestephierun 800 miles.
    3. @VanVanDiane 300 miles
    4.
    5.
    Total 2100.

    Team B
    1. @Camaramandy648 1300 Miles
    2. @hamsterwheel6 1000 miles
    3.
    4.

    @hamsterwheel6 - When you register you need to pick a username on the RTY site and we will need to know whatever that name is to add you to our team. So if I am a team captain and @elise4270 is on my team I will find her and add her to the team - at least I believe that is how it was done. We can also follow each other individually as well as all of the teams.
    I encourage using our MFP usernames only because it is easier to know who is who.

    @Elise4270 and @shanaber Thank you! I will let you know once registered!

    I logged into the RTY2020 tracker and we can start setting up teams. 1st though we need to start thinking up Team Names! I was scrolling through to see what others were using and what was taken. One that caught my eye and made me laugh was S.L.U.T.S. - Southern Ladies Under Tremendous Stress 🤣

    @elise4270 - we could reuse our 2019 team name modified with 2020 or come up with a new name? Gimpy Runners for 2020? 😁

    If we don't get anymore people joining in I will pull @kgirlhart onto my team and we will have 3 teams plus @eleanorhawkins on her own team of 1. We will still have lots of spots to add more in if some want to join later. I was kind of hoping @tramboman and some of the others from last year would join again.

    I was thinking the same about @kgirlhart . I think new year new name. We'll have to brainstorm on it.

    That will work for me if we don't get any other people. I'm not really gimpy (yet) though so a new name would be nice. I do like the name R.I.O.T.

    R.I.O.T. (Running Is Our Therapy) it is as long as no one else has already picked it!

    Tried to edit may previous post and it won't let me save it...

    It was already taken so I changed it to 2020 R.I.O.T. (Running Is Our Therapy). We can always change it later if we want.
    @Elise4270 can you request to join the team?

    Also do you recall if we made the teams public so anyone can follow us or did we keep them private? Anyone have a feeling one way or another?

    I requested. I am fine if the group is public or private. I can't tell if it was public or private.

    You and your teammate can pick a team name. One of you can set up the team on RTY. There’s a tab on the left TEAMS on the site, there you can create or join. Be sure to update so we can find/follow you.

    Of course, to confuse things a little. I see that @hamsterwheel6 has requested to join out team.... @kgirlhart @Camaramandy648 could join up. ... @shanaber is the team gatekeeper otherwise I’d have let ya in. Haha!

    Haha! Sorry. I'm a terrible helper! DH says so too.

    Ok create teams! Someone join 2020 RIOT. 🤗

    -Teams
    -Names

    Y'all got this.

    @hamsterwheel6 - I will decline your request to join so that you and @Camaramandy648 can create a team. Just pick a team name and either one of you can set it up.

    @kgirlhart - look for 2020 R.I.O.T team and request to join. (Click on Follow on the left side of the tracker site, then scroll down and there is an area to look for teams or search by name).
    I also requested to follow you both

    I would be pleased to join you and pledge 1,020 miles, if you'll have me.
    I went ahead and registered, so I hope someone will have me!!!

    @shanaber and @tramboman I am happy to be on either team. Which one should I join?
  • kgirlhart
    kgirlhart Posts: 5,162 Member
    If I join with @Tramboman that gives us 4 teams plus @eleanorhawkins and then we just need one more person to add to @shanaber and @elise4270's team.

    shanaber Posts: 6,423 Member
    @kgirlhart and @tramboman - why don't you pick a team name and set up a team? @elise4270 and I will take any newcomers to round out our team.

    @kgirlhart I defer to your judgement. @shanaber provided us with some excellent options, or you can free your creativity.
