IMPORTANT CHALLENGE INFO

All workouts Monday are individual workouts. All team workouts will be on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, so make sure you are at the same class as your partner on those days. That also gives you a couple of extra days to find a partner if you haven't already.  We will do make ups on Saturday for any missed.  Entry fee is $100 per team and will be due by May 9^th.  The entry fees will go into a pot that will be awarded to the top team(s) as well as an additional prize given by your coaches.

 

The scoring for the challenge will consist of the following parts:

- Percentage gain on each workout after 5 weeks

- Daily food log posting on the website. Random days will be scored. 

- Daily attendance to classes. Random days will be scored.

- Bonus points for having the best scores on the initial workouts this week (this is to keep people from gaming the workouts and to help give higher-level athletes a chance to compete in the challenge)

- Bonus points for random questions asked during class about things posted on the blog.
- Bonus points for daily activity posted to website.  Random days will be scored.

We highly recommend that all of you do a before picture so that you will have it at the end of the challenge for your own records/testimonial.  Bethany and I will have cameras with us this whole week if you would like us to take a picture of you.  I've seen others take the picture in something they wished they look good in and tape a copy of it to their fridge and mirror for the duration of the challenge for extra motivation...

Note:

I've had a few people ask what will keep people from going slower than possible on the workouts this week to give them a better chance of winning because they would have greater gains. That is kind of hard to police, but I will say that we expect everyone to do every workout as fast and as well as they possibly can this week.  We also expect everyone to have the integrity to be honest about that and allow the team that works the hardest, eats the cleanest, and makes the most gains win. 

Please post that you read this information about the challenge.  This will allow me to see that everyone sees the posts and that you are able to comment.  If you struggle on any day to post, you can e-mail food logs to marypdickson@gmail.com.
