question

Submitted by Dom Repta on 31 December, 2006 - 17:38.
What do you mean any extra can be taken out at six beers etc?
So if I average 13-18 per week what does that mean??

Are you buying me beer?

Beer, did I say that?

Submitted by Carlos Castillo on 1 January, 2007 - 16:05.
Sure Dommer, but the Idea is to keep at least 10 hours going 52 weeks of the year.Some weeks you may be up, some weeks you might be down, the idea is to reward yourself for the work done, under perform and NO BEER for you!
I guess the penalty minutes could be paid off in beer to the succesful members by the weak and afected!

Great challenge

Hey Carlos,
What a really great challenge, especially the rewards.  I'm printing this off and taking on the challenge.  This is it, my only New Year's resolution.  The penalty minutes will be very important though...please come up with something as good as the reward points!

How many weeks in a row?

Submitted by Ean Jackson on 25 December, 2006 - 14:58.

Hey Carlos,

I think I can qualify during the first week of the year, but may never make it for the rest of the year.  Have a happy, healthy New Year! 

One year...

5 Jan - .75 hrs digging the hole some more
6 Jan - .5 hrs raking broken branches from my yard after a wind storm
7 Jan - .75 hrs run

Total:   9.5 hrs  Dho!  Scooped on week one

I just hung in there...just!

I had three hours to go yesterday and I got them in running the 1/2 Monty.

Most of Timberman trail was a raging torrent, coming back I would have been better off in a kayak!

At one point I was knee deep running down stream with small logs passing me.

I had to get those hours in.

Total 10:02:48 I still drank my six beers this week so I guess I exceeded my earn allowance.

I'll blame Al for the beer drinking, and besides he drank 3 of my six.... thats right! 

Great Challenge!

Great Challenge Carlos!  Count me in for that one - I am going to commit before I know what the penalty minutes are so I don't chicken out...

Great atitude!

Running should be the major part of this W/O, unless you are a tri-geek.
Skiing (cross country), snow shoeing, wood splitting, skipping.....
Any other activities need approval?

backcountry skiing

Submitted by Dom Repta on 4 January, 2007 - 18:53.
backcountry skiing also-touring up 2-3 hour climbs with a pack is cardio for sure and hitting deep pow is a burn.
But, I'll do at least 10 hours of running alone so I guess after Western I'll collect some beer!! Maybe at our JDF Run in 07!!!

Woohoo!

What with last night's 5 hours of teleskiing, & Monday's Fat Ass 50k, I can sleep for the rest of the week!!!

Mud man,

Submitted by Carlos Castillo on 5 January, 2007 - 19:18.

What about the "hibbity-jibbity"?

You are in the zone.....

I've still got 4:35:00 to go, I don't think I am THAT lucky, so I guess I'll be looking for a dryish pair of shoes for the next two days.

Hahahahahahaha! 

You Dah Man!

Submitted by Carlos Castillo on 4 January, 2007 - 21:14.

Heck buddie, you will be top dog of the Ten Hour Club. Training for Western will keep you honest!

I still haven't chosen a 100M for 2007, I plan to do one a year till I croak.... 

We will have to check the tide tables for August some time for the epic JDF. 

I don't think I will ever give up this racket, I love it too much. 

Getting back to beer, have you tried Innis & Gunn?

Missed this thread

Hey guys, Bunch of keeners you all are!

I missed this thread completely and just now got to read all your fun comments about rewards, penalties and this mystery discipline mudrunner is planning for ;-)  Wonder if Mrs Mud knows about the time crunch!

I guess I am out.  I reach 5h in a good week...Now I know why you are all leaving me in the dust.

You've got to love Victoria

This was my reward last W/E!
