[Athleticfacilitymembers-list] Summer Recreation 2008: "Pedomination"

Hello All Rec Users! By popular demand our summer fitness program "Pedomination" is back for year two. Please see details below and the attached packet. Packets are due NO LATER than Monday June 30th to allow for pedometers to arrive in time. *PeDomination 2008* Harvard’s Pedometer Step Competition *What:* Teams of 4-6 members compete to accrue steps, tracked with a pedometer. Team Captains submit TEAM step totals each Monday (in person or via internet to accommodate for summer vacations). Captains should see the attached sheet for the recommended way to submit steps. *When:* Pedomination will run for six weeks beginning Monday July 14th and will run through Sunday August 24th. Packets are due no later than Monday June 30th to allow for adequate time to receive ordered pedometers. *How:* Recruit a team of Harvard affiliates. Each team members should indicate if they will provide their own pedometer or if they would like to purchase one from Harvard recreation for $12. *Other details:* Steps may be logged anywhere, at any time. Follow the instructions on your pedometer regarding setting, placement, etc. Be careful not to accidentally reset your pedometer mid-week. Do not shake your pedometer to run up your totals. According to personal preference, track each day’s total (starting at 0 each day) or keep your pedometer running all week long (most pedometers max out at 99 thousand steps). Steps are submitted on the honor system: weekly limit of 99 thousand steps. Unfortunately, you may not log steps while biking, whether on a stationery bike or a regular bike (we are planning a separate bike mileage contest in the future!) We recommend that each member keep a log of his/her daily minute totals (see attached) in case of inadvertent reset. Please note that we advise participants to avoid using extremely cheap pedometers due to unreliability and the tendency to spontaneously reset. Also please note that CAPTAINS are responsible for submitting team minutes. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT INDIVIDUAL EMAILS FROM ANY PARTICIPANT.
