ShadowLion Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Oh, no! The dreaded double post. Heh, heh. Or not... All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. ~T.

Shore at last! Feeling well rested from my nap in the boat, I took off at a run covering 9 miles of hilly terrain and found the rest of my team already waiting at the rendezvous point. I guess I took the long way there... but I explored some new areas along the way.

jstanlick Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Wait, swimming has a multiplier of 12?! Did I read that right? Sweet! I took the kids swimming at the local pool last night and swam 10 laps while they were sitting on the side warming up in their towels. 10 laps * 50m = .3107 miles * 12 = 3.728 miles for the spreadsheet. I wasn't planning on adding more to the spreadsheet until tomorrow.

Now if I could get it together to do some swimming, I could have a nice fat multiplier. (On the other hand, even 1 mile would be a lot of work.)Yeah, swimming is hard. I float like a rock and swim like one, too. It deserves the fat multiplier. Unless I'm at the beach, I'll stick to running, rowing, and biking. Actually, I don't really swim at the beach. I usually kayak or boogie board. I wonder what kind of multipler boogie boarding would get... I'm usually wiped when I'm through.
