tick tock: week 3 2ptober is closing!

Alright everybody, I'm starting to get a litttttle bit concerned by the lack of two point times rolling in!!


Thanks very much to those of you who have been so diligent in your reporting. And actually - despite the low turnout in terms of participation, those of you who are making it happen are really laying down some BIG times!

We've seen a pretty giant uptick in the average longest held 2pt time - pretty darn close to 5min now! That's a huge improvement from the starting time of 2min. Congrats everybody!

Naturally there are a few who stand out among the crowd, with a bit of a shakeup in the leader board since last week.

Top 5 by longest time:
L Williams
Emily Frank
J. Alexander
Kaity
KC

The most improved category keeps on chipping ever onward too, with the placings held fairly steady since last week with just a little bit of reshuffling.

Top 5 by most improvement:
Amanda
Megan
J. Alexander
Alex
Teresa


There's still time tho to get your time in and make it count! Final longest times are due by next Tuesday Oct 31, by midnight. And remember, we've got some serious prizes on the line for those who are willing to really go for it!!

you're gonna need that aspirin lol

    2. Well, I got on to record that 30 minute time, and got 40:14. Ow.

      My legs went numb at 30 min, so I figured I could handle another 10.

    3. wow that's a GIANT time! and a huge improvement in a such a short amount of time haha considering the total average for everybody is 5min and you just tacked on an extra 20 for shits and giggles!

    4. I'm kind of dead now, but it'll be worth it

  6. Are you ready for this? 17:58 last night! I'm super glad no one watched me jump my horse around after that. Going for 25+ this weekend!

  7. I guess I'm confused as to where you'd like us to post them? I always just wait for this post to let you know. On the 31st I'll be way more diligent! I've been living a life of trot sets and got my time up to 19:21! My goal was 20 minutes by the end of this so I think I'll be able to do it! Thanks Emma!

    1. great work - 20 min definitely seems within reach! times should be reported in a comment on my blog. i've been trying to get reminders out but even in the absence of a reminder, we all know when it's monday!

  8. Holy crap L. Williams is a BEAST. OMG. My freakin 8 minutes gave my sciatic trouble for a few days! I was obviously doing it wrong towards the end of the 8 minutes lol. But, I can tell I'm getting stronger! Now I'm dreading No Stirrup November. Just kill me now lol

  9. I thought I needed a reporting post to say how far I got! My bad! I got to 5 minutes (!!!!!) before my parents visited this weekend and I couldn't make it out to the barn. I'm so going out for every day for the rest of Oct though. I really really really want to make my numbers go up in these next few days.

    1. nice progress! in order for me to capture your times, you must report them in a comment on the blog.

      Delete
    2. I thought there was a specific post for me to report them on each week. :( Am I out of the running now cause I missed reporting?

      Delete
    3. nope!! i try to get a reminder post up bc that does make it easier for participants to ... well... remember to report their times haha. but you can tell me your time in literally any comment anywhere. all comments go to the same inbox, after all.

      and nope also - not out of the running. contest doesn't close until oct 31, so the world is your oyster limited only by your own burning muscles until then! but you must not forget to log a final time by midnight oct 31!!!!

      Delete
    4. Oh good. Sorry for misunderstanding how the posting times goes! I will totally be on my final time posting on Oct 31! And I'll make sure its before midnight eastern time. XD

  10. can I push through for 10 more minutes.. I dunno but I am going to try!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I have been practicing, just not recording the time. I'll try to make it happen this weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Yup, totally guilty on that one! I need a day where I can get out and ride outside... hopefully Saturday! My last attempt was 3:35
