A good all year motivator… 18k gets you gold. 3-4 of us on track to hit the “Big Kahuna” title = 20k points
I love this challenge
.
I show 5 on track for gold. Strong work, everyone. You are amazing.

Eric - Minor technical correction: actually the top 5 are on track for the “Big Kahuna” (20,000 points) and then the next 4 on track for the gold medal (18,000).
Cheer, Eric The Swimming.

Turns out the implications of Eric The Swimming are way less worse. 😂😂

With 12 weeks left in the year, I think I have a chance to hit a 1000km swim year. Have not done that since before Covid19. and if I can jog 40km per week get to 2000km jogging. It feels doable. The wildcard on swimming is how many days in the pool I miss on account of biz travel, but then it becomes easier to run more. Largely my program is pretty simple. Swim 60-90 min per day. Jog 20-45 min per day. Lower volume swim days result in higher volume run days. Will get on the trainer sporadically on days I can’t get to the pool. Still planning to do the 10,000m IM set to close off the year. Not sure I can get back to the 25x400IM. I did that twice (once SCM, once LCM). Likely end up doing the 50x200IM SCM. Who else is in?

Dev - I’ve just never been a fan of super big workouts like your 10,000 m IM b/c they just wear me out too much and I don’t get back to normal swimming for like a week or so. I’d rather just have a steady diet of moderate swims, runs, and bikes. So, I’m going to have to pass on the 10,000 IM.

The steady volume is the lead up to the 10,000IM…then we can party like it’s 1999!!!

Do you, a tech startup guy, actually “party”??? I just kind of find it hard to imagine but, OTOH, you were in Canadian Air Force for X years so you prob learned how to drink there.
The version of my party is go to a half IM or a swim meet or a mega set. Maybe ice cream afterwards . Alcohol has not been in the rotation since 2002 and no beer since 1992.

Ah I see, I don’t drink much myself but I have averaged about 1.5 beers/week over the past 37 years. My beers/wk have been going down over the past 10-12 years; right now I have had 19 beers so far this year. I could not drink at all but I like to drink a little just to show that I can control it.
