I guess I will swim the greatest length as well as the most common route of 21 miles. |

Yikes, I thought 21 miles was long! I’ll see you all in France in 2010. |

Sounds good, but I am confused… is this a new feature/type of challenge? Does everyone who makes it the distance gets the award or is it still the first place winner? |

I think this is approximately the distance between the island of Hawaii and the island of O’ahu. It seems less daunting already :) |

StephenB, are we starting on the English side or the French side? I need to know if I need Pounds or Euros to buy the first to finish a pint. :) |

@stansj: This is a new type of challenge where everyone to complete the challenge wins the prize (here’s a blog post about it). @StevenG: Take your pick :-) |

I entered a wrong figure in my swimming. I typed in 1200 to enter 1200m, but I didn’t realize that it was by default in km. So I corrected it, but it seems that the wrong distance got recorded in the challenge… so my 1st place is not right. My distance should be 6.7 miles or so at the moment. |

Hmm, I thought that was an incredibly long swimming leg for a triathlon. No worries, it happens in quite a few of the challenges, Gyminee was supposed to be implementing a system that 1) asked the user to confirm larger than normal entries and 2) re-opened the challenge when the user corrected their entry. At present it still seems to work like a lobster-trap. Once you put your distance/hours/weight in you can not get it back out without the assistance of a Gyminee staffer. |
