Break's over! Sign up for the next round here

Thanks for allowing us to get a break in. We are ready to roll again.<br><br>
The next round of the VRAA will begin next Tuesday, October 2. There are two things I need to know:<br><br>
First, and most importantly: <b>Are you playing this round?</b> I expect it'll last into the first part of November ... this should account for a lot of fall races, including The Tithers Ironman. Sign up in this thread.<br><br>
Second: <b>How much of a badass will you be?</b> For the sake of allowing me to form reasonably fair teams, give me a prediction about your level of badassery. Keep in mind that most people underestimate how productive they'll be ... factor in cross-training and such when you estimate. If you've played before and expect to keep producing at roughly the same level, that's all I need to know.<br><br>
I know that a lot of you are tapering, or getting ready to hibernate, or whatever. Don't bail on us just because you're not pumping up the volume at your usual god-like levels. The game's still fun even if you're not cranked up to 11.<br><br>
(1) <b>Mega Super Badass:</b> You're a sizzling chunk of aerobic machinery, earning roughly 200 points per week or more. You run 50+ miles per week, or run 40+ miles per week plus bike 25ish miles per week, or bike 135 miles per week, or walk a 9.5 mile mail delivery route every day plus run like a beast in your free time, etc.<br><br>
(2) <b>Super Badass:</b> You're hot & sassy. You run 30-50 mpw or the equivalent, earning 120-200 VRAA points per week.<br><br>
(3) <b>Badass:</b> You are the backbone of the VRAA. No team can win without a solid core of Badassery. You run 15-30 mpw or the equivalent, racking up 60-120 VRAA points per week.<br><br>
(4) <b>Badass in Training:</b> Maybe you're in one of them long tapers, or you're aspiring to badassery, or you're really busy right now, or you're crosstraining through an injury. Whatever. I love you for who you are, and I respect you for what you do. And what you do is this: earn 0-60 VRAA points weekly for your team. That's up to 15 mpw running, or 40 mpw on a bike, or 6000 yards of swimming, or a few good days at the gym lifting weights and/or tooling around on them machines.
