Monday, October 21, 2002 Attackpoint is the first winner!Attackpoint is the first winner of an Okansas Prize for English language O' web site. Congrats to Kenny Walker, Jr., who created Attackpoint.Why is it cool? Attackpoint is cool because it has created a little community -- people who log their training time and racing. I take a look at it almost everyday when I add my training. I usually make a point of checking out training of a couple of other people, too. Over time, you feel like you get to know some of the other people, even though they live far away. When you bump into those people at an A-meet, you know what they've been up to. As you read other people's training logs, you begin to feel the thrill of their victories and the agonies of their defeats. I like to check out: Kwalker, PG, Nadim, biggins, ebuckley, ebone, Vladimir, BorisGR, Hammer, Mean Gene, Ashley, Suzanne, and...well, just about anyone else. Could it be even better? I'm not sure it could be better. Attackpoint is pretty good as is. It might be cool to have something like the Runoway feature from Alternativet. Runoway lets people draw their routes on maps from selected races. It is very cool, but hardly necessary. Recently, more and more Attackpointers are scanning their race maps and putting links from their training logs, for example, here are Boris' routes from last weekend and here are Peter's routes. It'd also be good if people wrote more about their plans and goals. Attackpoint lets you enter comments in your training log. That'd be a good way to describe plans and goals. Few people use the comments very much. posted by Michael | 7:29 PM
