Wasn’t there some talk a few months ago about another virtual epic camp begining about this time? My life is MS outlook driven and a reminder just popped up to say: “Virtual epic camp starts today”.
Anyone interested?

I’m in. I have been wauiting for this, couldn’t play last year.
Let’s start tomorrow.
I’m in. I need something to get my ass in gear.
Ok, we need a pts format.
use the same as last time
1mi run = 4pt
100yds swim = 1pt
1mi ride = 1pt
.
Thanks Francois, I searched this but got too many posts to sort it out.
It’s about quality, not quantity.
I know what an epic camp is, but I’m unsure of a virtual epic camp - anyone care to explain - and then I’m in!
Ok, so let the games begin! 
Can we get double points for trail running?
OK. So no one is going to help me out here, so I’ll guess. What ever training you do in your own time you get points for right?
I’m in!!!
Starts today, right?
Ok, 10.9 mile run, i claim my 43.6 points for today.
yes, starts today.
And the point of “Epic camp” virtual or real is to just go big. Certainly I, as well as other campers, acknowledge various other training ideals but for now the plan is to just put in some debilitating volume.
I would like to propose an additional opportunity for points. It’s officially summer and in the Midwest that often means oppressive heat and humidity which makes training more difficult or fun, depending on how you look at it. I propose the following: For every 5 degrees above 80 F and every 10% above 70% humidity you get 10% more points.
For example if it were 85 degrees and 85 percent humidity the breakdown would be as follows for a 4 mile run:
Old Plan: 16 points
Proposed Plan: 16 points + 10% + 15% = 20 points
Not HUGE bonus points, but enough to compensate you for your effort but not enough to make you kill yourself in 100 degree/90% humidity…hrmmm…though that IS a 60% bonus. Anyway, any takers or too complicated for the epic brain?
I’m in. I like this simple scoring system. I also like the fact that we are around the solstice, so we’ve got plenty of daylight !
Cheers, ok so we just log it here. I’ve done my Ironmn for this year, but I’ll try clock some miles up…
