New to RTE

Hi everyone! I'm happy to have signed up for the challenge. I can't run and will probably never run again unless I come face to face with a fluffy white killer bunny (movie ref).

I use to ride the canals and commute by bike a few days a week, back before 2018. Cervical spine fusion, long hours in disease response, 2-month bed confinement, another spine surgery, a broken foot, and impending doom in my lower spine took away most of my hobbies these last few year, but I'm trying to claw them back.

I already kayak a lot on the summer and now picked up winter kayaking. I started cycling again a month ago and already crashed thanks to a distracted driver. I'm mostly riding canals again for a safer ride. I'm already somewhere around 10-15 mile rides. I hope to make my way up to an 8 mile hike this year without adding foot pain. I'm actively in physical therapy to regain strength to my back, hips, and core.

I have two goals. Feel stronger and healthier. Return to all my favorite activities except running and backpacking. I'll do anything to hold off another spinal fusion from the VA.

New to Challenge, the app, & FB Groups

Hi! I’m Rob. I’m a wanna-be athlete that’s a sometimes runner and often gym-goer.
Just getting a feel for everything these challenges have to offer, the FB Groups and the app.
Is it just me or does this app not get as much “socialization as in FB

  • Question
Where is my team?

I’m new and joined a team, but I can’t find where to see my teammates are my progress. Where do I find them? I am using the app. I thought I would find them under social, but that was wrong. I also could not find a beginners guide. I did find info on how to join a team, but not what to do after that.
