Kajsa Tylen: The Billie Dovey 81 miles a day progress thread

[velovoice]

Kajsa has just launched her website sweatpledge.com
It seems to be a place where you can put down a marker for your targets, post updates, and stuff like that. Interesting to see where it goes.

She's also keen to build a "community" out of it.
Ever heard of My Peak Challenge? My sister's doing very well with that.

The other day I contacted Kajsa for the first time in ages. The exchange reminded me that after four months I still hadn't found time to have a proper look at her website, which is a very poor effort on my part.

As a place to record aspirations and objectives in a format where they can be easily referred to, it looks very useful. I've entered a couple - one short term, one much longer - which I've been carrying in my head. The site looks good but did feel a bit lonely, and adding to the activity can only help.

She's also going into the travel business

I can vouch for the fact that that corner of Sweden (Öland) is very pleasant. I've been to Kalmar and around.

My impression is that much of the 'community' interactions and encouragements etc are happening on the Facebook page/group.

Kajsa got an award from the Audaxers. Funny, cos she never struck me as an audaxy person. I think she came from a triathlon / IronPerson background didn't she? Anyway, she's certainly popularised (populised? publicised? you know what I mean) long distance riding, so fair play.

Yeah, she's done a couple of iron man challenges. Not sure what the collective noun is!

Kajsa's posted a detailed account of her TEDx lecture on her Sweat Pledge site. It seems to be viewable without logging in:

Superb talk from a truly inspirational lady!

Kajsa ran a survey on her site a little while ago, with a prize draw as an incentive. A pair of walking poles and a portable water ultrafiltration kit.

Well someone had to win.
