    OK started putting the 2014 SBR together. Its basically the same as 2013

    I like the idea of a monthly league that carries your data over from the main sheet automatically. The monthly ranks could also set up an automatic overall score that trumps overall distance and make the challenge a bit more open if that were to appeal to everyone?

    However I need help to set up the right formulae :o

    Any excel/gdrive experts out there please drop me a pm and I'll add you onto the doc?

    Thanks

    Reminder

    Tuesday is the last day for updating. I will allow a few hours for those out West (Dory ;)) to still update in 2013!

    2014 Challenge just about ready to go so get a last run in on Tuesday or save it for Wednesday and take the lead for 2014 :D

    Cheers for all the hard work that goes into this MCOS. I think the amount of people who up date this regularly is a sure sign of how much it's appreciated.

    I've just guestimated an update for what little running I have done down here in the Southern Hemisphere. There'll be nothing more, there's been nothing for almost two week now. Lows of 27 during the night (its 35+ during the day) are not great training conditions for a ginger :)

    A relatively poor year for me, no real consistency, I had a full 4 months with zero swimming and a almost the same with zero running. Biking was ok-ish but no real hard work, mostly easy spins. But more important things happened this year...


    I look forward to the 2014 version but I warn not to make it too complicated or complex, this may put many people off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,208 ✭✭✭shotgunmcos


    Cheers BTH. 2014 will incorporate some of the suggestions but it will remain a simple single sheet data entry for all participants with the spreadsheet doing the rest of the work. Have to give mossym credit for helping me create a simpler way for the 2014 version :)

    in fairness i didn't do anything, you did all the work, i just sound-boarded ideas. Not going to take credit when the effort was on your side!!

    MCOS, I only spotted this, if you are ever stuck ROM on the A/R is fairly handy with Google docs, though good to see mossym was able to help keep it in the 'family' ;)

    Can't wait for the new edition of the spreadsheet, blank slate and all that :)

    Cheers AKW. I thought of him alright but decided to keep it within the family at all costs! Didn't want the sort of off grey dark side to have a claim to our shiny new challenge :) Thankfully we have some clever clogs on this forum.

    The original SBR (remember the 2010 chaos on boards tables :eek:) was akin to the 1000mile but the 2014 version is a million kms from it and will be much more fun this year :D

    Thanks MCOS for creating this and maintaining it. I thought the format this year was spot on.

    Last year I was 20th or 19th and this year I will be inside the top 10 so that is encouraging. Maybe I can set my sights on top 5 for next year especially as their will be the small matter of the national middle distance champs to contend with.

    Well done everybody and good luck next year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭MrCreosote


    Just did my last update for the year. Thanks for maintaining it MCOS- it's nice to see the number for the year tot up.

    Looking forward to the new year now, I'll be up at 0630 for a swim/bike/run to claim some early glory!

    Happy new year.

    Final run, final update. Disappointing year all round.

    Awaiting a monster update from Oryx or Dory :)

    Ha! Too funny! I haven't been on this thread in probably 10 or 11 months, so my update would be quite massive indeed, relatively speaking. Well done to all who participated in this challenge. Happy New Year folks!!! :)


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    I'm done. Sorry to disappoint :) Totals similar to last year. Swim up by just a few kms, bike up 500, run down about 80. Good enough. Gave me the results I wanted, fingers crossed for next year!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,235 ✭✭✭Solobally8


    Mixed year for me. Swim total up a little, run total down a lot and bike total up about 3000kms! Falls and injuries messed things up a lot but I probably wouldn't have taken this new road heading towards bike racing this year if I hadn't had my big crash :-)

    Looking forward to seeing what this year brings.

    Overall a good year for me. Stayed injury free, which at my age is a great success!! Training was very consistent. I had a total of 41 rest days. Working off resting HR I made my decision whether to train based on high HR and this was extremely useful.
    Swim was down (a little!), bike up and run the same. Overall I am happy with training level this year. Intensity in bike has improved so hopefully this will pay dividends in 2014.
    Best wishes to all with their training in 2014. Some fantastically impressive scores in this challenge so well done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,208 ✭✭✭shotgunmcos


    Woeful Year for me but injury and other priorities dictated

    High of the year:
    Finishing the Warrior of the Sea 6km swim after having my first ever panic attack a mile out from land :D

    Low of the year:
    A few to choose from but picking one it would be the DNF at Donadea. Really enjoyed running with Beepbeep and Abhainn for a few laps and the achilles issue that handed me that DNF and prevented any planned subsequent sub3 attempt plagues me still :mad:

    Totals:
    Swim down 150
    Bike down 5,000
    Run down 1,300

    Delighted to be starting a new year clean slate and all that. Significant time will be invested in conditioning, stretching and rolling this year!

    Happy New Year All :)

    Strong first 6months of the year (training wise) with the back end of the year being very all over the place.
    S - 2012 - 374,000mtrs// 2013 - 226,250mtrs
    B - 2012 - 8814kms// 2013 - 8,948kms
    R - 2012 - 2415kms// 2013 - 2291.7kms

    So swim volume well down, run volume down a bit and bike marginally ahead on last year although i have done feck all cycling of late.

    Theres some still tinkering with this 2013 table!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,208 ✭✭✭shotgunmcos


    Thanks for the heads up E. Final sort done and 2013 SBR Challenge is closed.

    Well done to all who participated and particularly those who gained motivation, momentum or anything else positive form it.

    2013 Champs
    Fazz & RacoonQueen :D

    Well done both of you!

    Sorry locked the file instead of the sheet. Changed that now :o


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 20,366 Mod ✭✭✭✭RacoonQueen


    Things like that are great when you're going through a bad stage and just want to pack it in. Plodding around runs and splashing about pools enough to beat Fergal.

    Seems I beat him too. :) I'm happy enough to come 7th behind such training behemoths. And it does keep you going sometimes, prevents you going 'sod it' on days you know you should but the couch is comfy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,112 ✭✭✭Bambaata


    Thanks again for another great table MCOS! You're the best!

    High praise indeed, that I might be a training target for either of you two...

    All the best for 2014!
