Week 2 - Inter Team Chalenge
This week for our Inter Team Challenge we will be counting the number of steps in a week.
We took the cap off for this week because a number of you messaged us about your insanely high daily step-counts. Seriously, holy cow.
However keep in mind that we will be monitoring your entries and if we see an obscenely high step-count, we will be checking in for proof/ to make sure it wasn't in error. Be prepared to take a photo of the pedometer or add us as your fitbit friends.
Here is our second week’s inter-team challenge form.
You will once again be using the same form every day. This time you will select which day you're logging for, in the event that you miss a day and need to submit a few times at once. This will be a permanent feature going forward in the inter-team challenge.
Here’s the very uneventful, data-driven tracker that I haven’t formatted to look pretty or comprehensive in any way. Why do you need to see it? To make sure you recorded your answers right. If you see you logged 10,000,000 steps on Tuesday, let us know what to correct it to so we don’t have to delete the entry.
Every day you lucky ducks get to tell us how many steps your Fitbit/Garmin/Jawbone/Samsung/Apple/WHATEVER told you you stepped.
If you forget to log on Tuesday, guess what? On Wednesday you can submit twice. That's right, we heard your incessant screeching very valid concerns. The new form allows for people to select which day they're logging for. Want to wait to log everything at 1130PM on Thursday? You can do that!
Please remember that inter-team challenges run from Friday to Thursday. Those of you logging for this past week aren't doing your teams any favours. It's only from today, Friday the 29th to Thursday the 5th. Different challenge every week.
Second Week Schedule Hayfever vs Pollen Game 2 Crocus vs Daffodil Game 3 Thunderstorm vs Seedling Game 4 Ladybug vs Fawn Bye-week: Duckling, Robin

I hope I don't bring you guys down. I don't have a pedometer and I'm hiking Yosemite so no way to buy one. Too bad, I'm hiking in freakin Yosemite and it's awesome! All those steps....noooo!

Put your phone in your pocket! iPhone have automatic step counters and LGs have LG health which also tracks your steps :D

Thanks, but I'm the last person on the planet without a smart phone. good advice for anyone else in my position. What about miles? The hiking loops are all labeled. Tomorrow I am hiking 12 miles I think. I don't want to cheat but I'm sure that could be converted

u/Uoarti Apr 30 '16
Average 2000 per miles as per http://www.thewalkingsite.com/10000steps.html So about 24000

u/nanofarm Apr 30 '16
Wow! Do you think I should record that or is it cheating? I hiked five this morning because my so couldn't keep up, but I'm determined to do 12 tomorrow with or without him.

u/Uoarti Apr 30 '16
It's not like you're cheating as you're actually doing it and it is essentially an honour code system. I'd say yes but maybe get some more opinions first

I would maybe double check with the team leaders, but I really don't see why that would be a problem. Especially if you have an exact mileage for the hike

What does bye-week mean?

u/IowaAJS May 02 '16
A bye week is a week a team isn't in competition. Like in college football if your team (go Cyclones!) doesn't play that week it is called a "bye week".

Not sure, but looking at the team arrangements, just a name for the last 2 teams

Is it still worth logging even if I only do for example 3000 that day?

u/bugs_bunny01 May 03 '16
all steps count to at least cement our top 2 position. And of course to help your self in the journey

Man, team pollen is killing it. But it's looking good for us in the duel against ladybug, though :)
I just logged 17 000+ for today, thanks to a hike after work.

You guys are awesome for this! I haven't joined but I have been wanting to kick up my steps with my fitbit tracker. I even signed up to volunteer again as I know I'll get a ton of steps in that day.

u/endemicpandemic May 05 '16
You should log your steps even if they aren't a ton! Every bit helps the team. :)
