Topic #2 - 2014 Challenge Board
Doug Conner has been doing some awesome work on the 2014 Challenge Board. There are tabs on the top of the page that are worth exploring.
In the past the K-man Challenge meant you had to achieve at least 100% of the mileage (hours for kinetic) in one category or at least 50% in two categories. It's now expanded so your efforts in all four categories count toward the 100% total. Check out the Total Effort page to see where you stand.
--------------------------------------------
Topic #3 - Swim Coaching:
Koach Karen enjoyed her time coaching but with all her other responsibilities it became problematic. Nancy Prier has accepted the challenge of coaching us for the month of April while we search for another coach. Nancy will earn the coaching stipend for the month.
Thank you: Kelly, Janeil, Jacquie, Ellen R, Francois, Jason, Dawn, Abby, Keith, Peggy, Mike A, Mike B, Lori, Kirk, Mark, Jen, and Dale for contributing to the Coaching Stipend Fund. If you would like to contribute to the coaching fund go to this link to pay for Coaching - thanks.
