I know it's only January but I find this incredibly motivating.
Never mind the points, just win the race to first green and you can coast for a bit

I think I'd have to do a series of 150k weeks to beat Fazz's cycling :eek: Looks like it could be tight between the swimming and cycling...0 -

What happens when you hit green? (newbie challenger here)
The first green on the board will shoot that person straight to the top of the rankings (I'll have to fiddle with the table then to find a way to make these changes automatic)
The whole challenge is about hitting the Green and Gold Benchmarks primarily
So a single green will lead, until someone else posts a single green and has fewer SBR points than you. They will then be trumpted by A) you posting a 2nd green or someone else posting a green with lower SBR points or someone posting a gold! 2 greens trumpsa single gold by the way... So got all that
Basically (I posted this in detail in one of the initial posts in this thread)
Your overall rank is based on
1. How many targets you have achieved
2. What colour they are
3. How few SBR point you have
Hope that helps0 -

(oops....I'll go back and find your previous explanation....:o)
But basically, what you are saying is....I'm just one unfortunate public health concern away at pools across Ireland (thus closing them until April, which coincidently coincides with my own pool opening) to grabbing the green in swimming. Dammit! So close.....0 -

Jack frost was out this morning lads.
You know its slippy when climbing up a hill in the saddle and the rear starts losing grip
good for basic handling skills I guess
Time to take more care on the early weekend morning bikes.
Of course there's always the turbo....
But then that's for wuss's... :rolleyes:0 -

Me and apologies if I have upset anyone's data
I've put in a column for the overall rank of the challenge that I will update once a week as late in the week that I can. The status of that will then remain for the next week so you can actually see how you are moving on the challenge versus where you were on last calculation. Fazz is almost 50% to the first green and odds on to hit it first too so once the targets come in the overall SBR points start to become secondary for calculation. Therefore no need for the second tab. I will sort the table regularly by SBR points anyway and others are sorting it by other columns for whatever reason that I'm ok with. I've seen it sorted by turbo kms, name, points, run kms, bike kms, swim kms, treadmill kms so far... so there are plenty on the challenge who know how to sort the table!
So this pins the challenge to a weekly update and maybe a bit of a weekly chat about it in the thread.
If you are sorting the table for some reason, please resort back to SBR points as status quo, thanks.
Its the unique way the challenge is calculated that made this necessary. You may have seen me play with different options such as logging how many of each green and gold target you hit. I was searching for a way to take those into account first. I toyed with variations and without adding another metric or more columns to the spreadsheet I decided the simplest way was to have one sheet and sort the overall rank manually at the end of each week. If I can't I'll delegate that responsibility to anyone willing to do so
So, I'll rank the challenge either on a Sunday night or Monday morning.
BTW, the font in the cell will change to green once you input a figure that corresponds with a target. So it will be obvious without needing more columns to see who has hit what targets.
Bear with me folks. I'm open to clever ideas by the way...0 -

End of week 4 rank now up. This is how it will stand for the week so please don't edit that column. If your last update for week 4 was not included PM me and I'll adjust tomorrow.
Overall it is proving to be a tight one this year and Its fantastic to see so many acticely participating so far. I have to hand it to the ladies, they are really putting the cat amongst the pigoens. Great stuff!
45% of the swim green - your truly
45% of the cycle green - Fazz, who also has 42% of the swim green
39% of the run green :eek: - RC I'm disappointed I missed the hot black number you were wearing last night :pac: all these miles gotta have you fit lookin'
Who's gonna get the first green mark?!
Everyone please put your hands together for D'pop who has paved a venture to a Tri debut at Valentia Island on 19th May. Lets see if he can do better than TFBubendorfer's one hit wonder 0 -

You're just going to have to throw that party you promised for Joey Hannon/Limerick Marathon. I don't take the frock out for just any oul party you know!0 -
Fair play to you Mike, solid work.
I had a low bike week this week.. I will not change plan and go SBR points hunting ha , even if my running is lower than you guys :o
It really is a great tracker and fun way to compare etc.
I need to update my hours but that's easy at any time.
The real interesting part will be seeing who transfers training points in races.
Thoughts of an additional column now that could get very confusing indeed. 0 -

Thats a savage week's training Shell to Run! How do you find the combat class amidst all the otehr stuff?Shell to Run wrote: »Just updated for week - hope that’s ok?
Another good week. Goal for week was to get an additional cycle in....went outta my way to get 20 miles in Tues and then this morning had a big decision to make. Club cycle or Australian Open tennis final. All round the tennis won with an epic game. Managed to get out later for short but extremely tough 16miles and was well tested with hill repeats – quality over quantity!
Did not miss any planned sessions this week. 5 Runs, 2 Turbo, 2 cycles, 3 swims, yoga and combat class.
Goal for this week is yet again - two cycles.
yep everything from Jan1-Dec 31 is what its all aboutAre back-dated kms allowed? I haven't added anything since the 8th of Jan (I haven't done much training either)
I'm actually not around for Joey Hannon but If the sun comes out I'll def throw a BBQ for the GLRRacoonQueen wrote: »You're just going to have to throw that party you promised for Joey Hannon/Limerick Marathon. I don't take the frock out for just any oul party you know! 0 -

Has something changed with the spreadsheet? I just updated and it's like a tab is missing.
Check out post #255the guy who removed the tab wrote: »Me and apologies if I have upset anyone's data
