    Well done Immz!

    Well, yesterday we burned 4168 cals and rowed 1042. I'll add in Craig's burn from the previous day, and send those off to Lee.

    Map's just been updated and we've slid to fourth.

    :-(

    But there's not much in it. A couple of consistent days from everyone and we'll be back where we belong. :-)

    Special burn just for you Pumpkin... I did some gardening ;) 3209 for me today so far... I might squeezzze in some walking yet tonight :) Likely since we're off to see a movie and I have to haul *kitten* around the maul (yes spelled intentionally) to get to the movie theatre. ;)

    Rawr! 4th is just not acceptable. **** that ****. :P ;)

    How's everyone's weekend going? Cold and bright and beautiful here.

    I didn't run today, but we did go walking in the snow, and I hit the gym and did cardio tonight. 1132 cals all told.

    Lee's updated the map for the weekend, and I'm pleased to say we're back in the lead. I've not given him today's cals as I wasn't sure if everyone was done yet.

    This week there's opportunity for us to really get ahead and make some serious gains. If you could all do you best to put in as big a burn as you can safely muster on *tuesday* that would be great, as our efforts that day will be doubled.

    We'll also need to give some thought to which team we'll 'attack' on Friday. We need a team with a couple of consistent big burners. We're going to be an obvious target for other teams, so we need to make sure we 'get' as good as we give in this one. If you have suggestions that would be great.

    From Lee:

    "Tuesday this week will be a double DAY !!!!! all your team Cals will count double !!!!

    Friday is going to be ATTACK DAY !!!

    For those new to the games, Attack day is the captains can "attack" another team/ boat.

    To do this the captains can PM the captain of another team and tell them they are being attacked.,.... that captain must then send back the miles that there highest burning team member has given that day. this is then added to that team total (basically counting for an extra person that day)

    The team attacked can still count the miles for their full team.......... "

    Well... SUCK MY OVARIES! I'll be damned if I roll over and play dead this friday. 1.2 mile swim Friday? SCREW THEM! I might go for a full 2.4! AHOLES! *peers in a certain direction* And you know who I'm talkin to, MISS BECKY!!! :P Hell it's only 160 laps... why the fark not. If I start at 7am I can take a lunch break and be done before it closes. *crackles neck* MM HMM

    >.< Y'all will have to take care of Tuesday. The problem is I've tried to swim back to back days. And it wrecks me. So if I skip Monday to roll out Tuesday, or Wed on Tuesday. I won't be ready by Friday again. The last time I swam two days back to back it took me 4 to recover. Which is no bueno.

    Now I will do a good burn on tuesday ;) But I can't do a pool burn. :)

    As for attack, my vote would be Rowin not growin, or Lee's team. Both of them are probably going to attack us. As well as probably half of the top 10 if not more than half the top 10. It could get ugly. But WE WILL SURVIVE! HEY HEY! :D

    Btw, you little monsters all did one smashing job this week. I had to put some exceptional gas to the fires to keep ahead of y'all this week. If you guys keep going like that the rest of the month. I doubt they'll be able to catch us, no matter how many people attack us. I am serious. Those are some amazing burns. AMAZING.

    Especially our little Penny ;) My darling. I don't know if you were building thermonuclear chain reactions to keep warm this week inside you to burn that much or what. But you have my undying admiration for your tiny behind burning 4k for the week. KUDOS missy. Especially knowing how much school is stressing you. RAWR! :D

    *mwah* love ya all :)

    you all amaze me. We're doing an incredible job here and I know we can and will continue to do so!

    I'll aim to do 2 hours on Tuesday - one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I'll let you know how it goes. :-)

    Not you, the rest of the 15 teams we're going to kick their *kitten* :) Y'all are exempt LOL...

    Trust me if I could get them out of my body by someone just sucking them through a straw... Oh... OH I'd have done that so VERY long ago :D

    Bahahaha thank you cynthia! To be honest it's entirely because uni is stressing me out that I need that me time to burn and rant in my head...you would not imagine the number of people that have made it onto my hit list this weekend ready for much plotting of their imminent demises this week.

    Sorry for slacking and going awol this weekend, had a migraine that started on Friday morning (and would've stayed in bed if I didn't have lectures 9-4 on friday and then moving house all weekend from 5pm friday)...also stress of bf meeting dad for first time...settling into new house...old housemate and landlord both being ******* ******s, dad locking my car keys into my car with keys in the ignition while he was scraping it...yeah it was an awesome weekend...not....so yesterday when I could actually chill out a little bit I did. And I ate more than my own body weight in chocolate and nachos...lol....ooops. Ah well at least I felt reassuringly sick at the end of it...

    Anyways I will definitely get back with the programme this week. Planning big burn on Tuesday, ~60mins cycling and zumba (which last week was over 1000), and I'll be going to the gym on friday (and other times). Just need to get up the courage to start doing some of the scary weight machines or free weights in the gym...eek!

    Go team!

    sorry about my baby burn today, didn't want to overdo it too much today and wanted to save myself for mega-burnage tomorrow!

    OK, vikings are *GO* for today's double burn day.

    I feel a nice long lead coming our way!

    I've done a good run this morning, heading to the gym later, and Craig's already posted an amazing burn. Let's keep those figures rolling in (so to speak...)

    All shall quiver in our wake!

    I ran. I biked. I rowed, I picked things up and put them down again. I walked. I burned over 1500 cals and now I'm a bit tired... :-)

    *owies* but I managed 1042!
  • meerkat70
    meerkat70 Posts: 4,605 Member
    Well, poor Cynthia has been down and out all day with a migraine. Despite this, and being essentially one (wo)man down, we managed 6101 calories - 1525.25 miles. That's still averaging over a thousand cals per team member.

    We truly do rock!
  • penny_eclipse

    which is actually 3050.5miles because of the double burnage?
  • k2quiere
    k2quiere Posts: 4,151 Member
    Jane, I did not double my calories when I put them in yesterday because based on the numbers you had called out that everyone else had, it didn't look like anyone's had been doubles on the spreadsheet. Just an FYI :-) Oh, BTW, I will probably not have any burn today, unless you want to call walking around ring shopping a burn.
  • meerkat70
    meerkat70 Posts: 4,605 Member
    No, I doubled the totals when I sent them to lee - I sent him total cals burned, total miles and then double miles. So don't worry, what you did was perfect. :-)

    And yes, we should have surged forward by over 3000 miles. Even with Cynthia out of play, this was our third biggest burn since we started. You all did a amazing job!

    I'm having a quieter day today, as I seem to be brewing a cold and I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself. So just a walk for me. I'll do something a bit more serious tomorrow.

    We're in second!

    We could do with agreeing tactic for Friday. Are we just going to do 'business as usual'?

    And who will we attack?

    Hi folks, what happened to yesterday's burns? Not many posted on the spreadsheet.

    I'm having a rest day today due to my knee & back aching, I've only logged my daily station walk.

    Keep up the good work Vikings!

    Well, we know that lots of people are going to attack us, which helps them only by one of our burns. We will not be helped, however, by not getting some killer burns ourselves. I say business as usual, and we try to kill it.

    Sorry about my paltry burn yesterday, but I'm ready to get something in today...I'm so mentally tired though, I hope I can plow through!

    I am so proud of you guys for filling in! (mind the gap!) ;) And posting record burns for the days! Wowsers! Way to go everyone. Now that's a TEAM! YOWZA!

    I plan to swim as long and as strong and as much as I can till they kick my *kitten* out of the pool or I drown. Either or. :) Then I'll be doing something else later in the day. I will probably also do a weight circut I haven't done one in a while and if I can muster the strength (hello nsaids) I'll try and rip something out later in the day as well. My goal is to hopefully shoot for a 5k day. I've never done it before. I've come close. in the 4ks. But I'd like to top my own personal record. You guys deserve it. :)

    Screw them all, we'll kick 'em where the sun don't shine ;) *giggles* :D

    Bahahahahaha, business as usual it is for tomorrow.

    (I added yesterday's 512 and today's 861 to the spreadsheet just now).

    I managed to convince my tired body to get to the gym this evening so I had a pretty good one, but I am DEFINITELY hitting the gym tomorrow...apparently the bf is cooking me dinner tomorrow night (and he wants to do the same or take me out to dinner on sat) so I have little to no control over that and it's my only form of damage limitation...I haaaaate being cooked for by him, sure it's super yummy but it's all steak/blackpudding/red meat/honey/potatoey yummy badness! Goodbye deficit for the week...

    I don't know who pulls out epic burns on other teams...except for lombrica?

    Can't wait to kick it tomorrow, GO TEAM!

    Sorry, I've been feeling pretty grim, but I'll catch up the spreadsheet for today and yesterday now. :-)
  • meerkat70

    I think probably lombrica's team is a reasonably good bet - there'll be someone on there who'll put in a very serious burn. If not Becky, it'll be carla. If that's ok with everyone, I'll drop becky a note in the morning. Looking at hurricanes, they seem a pretty evenly matched bunch, with them all putting in regular burns in the low thousands. I suspect we'll get a better burn out of scullys.

    I'm really hoping I'll be well enough to do something a bit more serious tomorrow. This throat infection is really starting to take it out of me... Today I just managed a walk and some pushups / situps etc.

    Attack day today! I've just mailed Becky to tell her to prepare to be boarded. Oooerrr missus.


    Just filled in the spreadsheet for yesterday. it looks like lots of us are having a bit of a slow down. Well done to Penny and Immz for some serious burnage yesterday, and Craig and Penny for the day before.

    Let's all lean on those oars a bit today!

    I couldn't run this morning, but I'm off for a quick dog walk, and I think I'll manage gym later. Early mornings are worst as I appear to be attempting to cough up at least one of my lungs. But I'll aim for high hundreds / low thousands.

    We've been attacked by 3 teams - mission slimpossible, scully crew and drunken mermaids. The latter are obviously my personal favourites.
