SBR Challenge 2014
-
31-12-2013 2:34pm#1Hi All, Since its is almost 2014 in Mr Creosote Kiwi land and I'm heading out partying shortly the 2014 Challenge is open for Business
The big difference this year is that there is now a monthly league!
The overall challenge and targets are still the same but each Month there will be a fresh new SBR Challenge. Fazz and RC may finish top of the pile again but people peaking for races or doing a focused block of work might taste that elusive gold in a particular month and even take some serious scalps in the process
Other small changes
- You can enter time per discipline now
- Enter your Goal Race instead of goal distance
- The bronze,silver,gold targets for "other km" is the same as the swim targets. Other km is simply any non SBR kms you clock up like rowing, kayaking, cross country skiing etc...
What do I do with the challenge?
Just copy this link to your browser or your google drive.
Only the current month will be available for you to add your data. Fill in as much data as you like. The overall Challenge will update automatically. Please just add your name to the bottom of the list. Please DO NOT DELETE a row from the challenge. Some people may drop out during the year and if you want to remove all of your data from the challenge please put a note on the thread or PM the Mods to help (Thank you in advance!)
Only add your monthly data to the challenge. If you join the challenge later than January you have 2 options
1) PM me or leave a note on the thread and I can open temporary access to the other months. Same for anyone wanting to edit previous months etc.. You can enter your monthly data and the corresponding rank for each month will adjust itself.
2) (The lazy way :rolleyes:) Just enter your yearly data on the current month. However since it would be unfair on other posters, you will be assigned the lowest rank plus the lowest rank of the previous months. Normal ranking will apply from the next month. Sorry but some may be having their best month and having fun and we don't want to wreck that
What are the targets?
For the Year same as 2013
Bronze targets: Swim 100km/Bike 2000km/Run 800km
Silver targets: Swim 200km/Bike 4000km/Run 1600km
Gold targets: Swim 400km/Bike 8000km/Run 3000km
For a Month its approx 1/12th of those
Bronze targets: Swim 9km/Bike 137km/Run 67km
Silver targets: Swim 17km/Bike 334km/Run 134km
Gold targets: Swim 34km/Bike 667km/Run 250km
How does the Scoring work?
Much much simpler this year Simple sum of your monthly overall ranks across the year. Lower score = Higher Rank It is the same for each individual month too, so if you can't knock Fazz or Raccoon Queen off their perch over the whole year, go all out for glory in a month!!
Happy New Year to all
Wishing you a year of smart training, fun races and PBs!26

Class work!! Well done to MCOS & his minions.
Format looks great and I'd even suggest a further tweak. Leave the S/B/R colums as totals which encourgages us to fill in the data fields to the right hand side of the sheet.
Regardless, Happy New Spreadsheet to all of you!! 0 -

@AKW - nice idea. But those columns are optional. Could reverse the order of next year and have total far right auto filling etc.. If I changed that this year folks would still fill in total rows and mess up the auto fill. Every year I try to improve it and set it up to take care of itself as much as possible.
@Herc ... The Lead
@Solobally - of course. The good thing about this year is that when you do start running again you will see your monthly rank that month improve
@RC - yep turbo is an estimate if you don't have a monitor. I use an estimate as my average rolling speed on the road (Not TT etc)
@El D - nice pace for a new years day run!
@All - the "#" column by the way is to record number of sessions per discipline. A few used this last year as S/B/R/X0 -

i think it looks great, but then i should
well done on getting it live MCOS, fair play on the effort.
First entry in. Put some numbers in last years but not sure how accurate they were, pretty sure a lot were missing. WIll be updating much more regularly
First swim Km's of the 2014 table logged, may be my only claim to fame,and swim will be all i have for another while tillthis hamstring heals. it'll do for now though..:)0 -

Hey kids! I thought I might join in on the fun this year, but after two efforts to add my name I obviously better stick to the pool and not anything computer related as I think I have failed miserably. Could someone help me? And while you're at it, color me pink please!!!
Edit: I guess I'm not as computer challenged as I thought - got me-self up and running and in the right color. Let the games begin! Whoop whoop!!0 -

Welcome back, the other hoochies better watch out. It will be interesting who takes it each month.Hey kids!

Oh and I had it auto formatted to turn all regular hoochies pink as soon as they entered 0 -

Just to paraphrase JB's offer.
I will give a pair of running shoes to the highest run nos for 2014. Based on being a TI member and having completed at least 3 tris in the year. Don't want runners coming in and taking a handy prize!!
3 tris...sh*te that means I actually have to cycle. Do 3 aquathlons count? 0 -

Well, since we're all being so generous about things that I don't qualify for:mad:, I'll put up a complete kit of new swim suit, goggles, kickboard, pull buoy, PLUS unlimited use of my gorgeous outdoor pool to the highest swim numbers for 2014. Caveat: must be a member of the USAT and complete at least one tri on US soil. 0

I think you can do better than that, right girls? 0 -

the autoformatting of the cells for the pink for the "hoochies" was one of your nicer touches.
i also saw you had it autoformatted to have one persons name move to a smaller font so they were smaller then everyone else. Who were you targeting with that one? 0 -

DD you are an honorary member and qualify through boards, so don't worry if you win shoes you will get them.

Good question. Entirely up to yourself whether you consider it "off road"Hi MCOS, would i be right in assuming that treadmill KM's are to be logged as road KM's?. Generally the off road options involve mud of sorts.
So many other columns I could add in but I figured the monthly league was a big enough change.0 -

Bit competitive already on the hoochie front! With Dory Dory hitting the bike for mdot events, Oryx going long and RC the reigning queen of the last 3 years, its gonna be a good battle to watch this year methinks, particularly with a fresh battle each month 0

Their adoring fans should be able to purchase "tribute" aids to help them in their battle, like in The Hunger Games. For instance, RQ will survive longer with a set of stabilizers in her arsenal...0 -

Same targeted races lads but I have seen neither a bike nor a pool in 5 weeks and I've "ran" once in 3 weeks. MCOS can we add a booze column??0 -

Oh excellent! There is going to be some fierce competition at these races :cool: love it Bike and run going okay at the moment, Raheny 5 will test run and 3/4 duathlons before mid April will show how bike/run is going too. Swimming, different story, no swim in 3 weeks. All in all though I'm in my best Jan shape ever I think. 0 -
