FAQ's

For those who are too lazy to look at last year's:

The challenge starts December 1st and runs through February 28th.
Each month has a goal mileage to reach in one of the three triathlon disciplines.
December focuses on swimming, January on biking, and February on running- the same order as they are in a race.
Below are the goals for the club to reach each month. The first club to reach the milestone wins fabulous prizes. Also, the club with the most overall mileage in a month wins fabulous prizes.
December 2008: Swim Session (750 miles)
January 2009: Bike Session (10,000 Miles)
February 2009: Run Session (3,000 Miles)

If you want more information on the award structure, visit the USAT's website: http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/index.cfm

Also, DC Tri will award a prize to the athlete logging the most mileage in that's month's discipline. So, the DC Tri'er with the most swim miles in December, the DC tri'er with the most bike miles in January, and the DC Tri'er with the most run miles in February will all get fabulous prizes.

When the challenge starts, you will email your mileage to me, preferably daily, in MILES.
I have to enter your progress in miles, and it's a big PITA to convert mileage for 100+ people. Also, converting your mileage before you send it prevents flats. Just a rumor.

USAT has a blog to keep everyone informed. I also heard we will be able to post on it, say to taunt San Diego's tri club. Just remember, comments are hard to un-post, so stay classy DC.http://usatncc.blogspot.com/
