    Are we missing a team member? I don't think I've heard from ClareB at all.

    BTW.... on the spreadsheet I have changed the color of the text for the miles that I have logged with Lee, so its important that when you log your burns you leave them in black so I know how many to update.

    Looking forward to seeing everyones burns for this weekend, what are y'all planning on doing???

    Have a great weekend!!

    I'm really struggling to read the white text on the nearly-white background. Can you change the background colours so we can see the text better?

    I've been slacking a bit this weekend but going to try and get out running again this week - its just so cold!!!

    UPDATE FROM LEE:




    well we are a couple of weeks in and its time to throw in a SPANNER !!!!!!!!!

    Here is the up date

    http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=204655860575059420912.0004abdf0de2eadf90575&msa=0&ll=-20.550509,120.234375&spn=46.969193,79.013672

    We are going to have an "attack day" on THURSDAY this week

    For those new to my games, I like to throw in a "fun" thing here and there !!

    ON THURSDAY........... each Captain has the chance to attack another team.

    HOW??

    PM the team captain of the team you are attacking
    When all of there numbers are in, they MUST give you the miles that their highest Calorie Burner has done.
    Add those miles to your teams totals for that one day (in effect counting an extra person)
    The team being attacked can still count their person with the highest burn as normal......

    But next time i might not be so nice !!!

    OK guys we need to pick a team member from another team to "attack".... basically we get to add their mileage to our team, so does anyone have any other friends in the same challenge on another team, or have you heard of anyone that has some good burns??

    The updated map with out logo and most current positions is:
    http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=204655860575059420912.0004abdf0de2eadf90575&msa=0&ll=29.53523,27.333984&spn=45.679691,79.013672

    It looks like the "FighterFlight" team is out in front so they would be a good team to attack.... any thoughts???

    And also any suggestions on game plan??? Is it worth taking that day as a rest day so miles stolen are minimal??

    Hi,

    I don't think there'd be any benefit in having a rest day:

    Scenario 1: We do nothing, and team B decide to steal off of us:
    our cals : 0 their cals 0 - difference - 0
    Scenario 2: Our top scorer gets 1000 cals, and team B decide to steal off of us:
    our cals 1000, their cals 1000 difference - 0

    the only difference being that in scenario 1, we don't log any calories at all, but in scenario 2 we do.

    I don't know anyone in any other team ( at least I don't think so) but aiming for one of the lead teams makes the most sense.

    I vote for just doing Thursday as normal and going for the steal. :)

    It's been a bit of a slow week for me - trying to readjust to exercising in the winter hours! Dark around 6.30pm sucks - I think I'm going to have to start going back to the gym...

    If we challenge another team, I would suggest that we avoid the top 3 teams because they are the most likely to take a rest day to avoid giving away the miles.

    Another suggestion would be to challenge our selfs. That way we can double whomever has the biggest burn.

    If that's within the rules then challenging ourselves sounds like a great tactic.

    The question has already been asked if we can attack ourselves and the answer is No....

    So the general consensus is that we still continue as normal and get our regular burns in, and that we should attack any of the teams from 4th place backwards...

    Anyone have a particular team in mind???

    Did we have to specify which member of the opposing team we were attacking? I thought we just attacked a team and which ever of their members had the largest burn, we got those points?

    BTW, Because of getting the new tattoo on Saturday my burns have been less than normal, but I'm planning on a LONG paddle tonight so you all should see a decent number from me tomorrow.
