To this point in the UNMC Walks to the Olympics challenge, it’s been all about teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\"picture\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\nThe UNMC ‘Blue T-shirt’ will go to the individual UNMC Walks to the Olympics participant who racks up the most steps in a particular week. <\/span>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Now it’s time we start to recognize individuals for outstanding stepping.<\/p>\n

Similar to the Tour de France’s “Yellow Jersey,” the Olympic walk participant who accumulates the most steps for a particular week will get the “Blue T-Shirt” for that week.<\/p>\n

Like the Yellow Jersey, the Blue T-Shirt is a traveling trophy that will change hands once a new step leader is determined. <\/p>\n

In short, you get the shirt if you’re the week’s top stepper. If you don’t have the week’s top step total the following week, you give up the shirt. <\/p>\n

The shirt will be handed out for the first time next week. <\/p>\n

To qualify:
\n

  • Report your weekly step total to your team captains as you’ve done so far throughout the challenge.
    \n
  • Team captains, when you submit your step totals for a week, also send along the name and step total for your team’s top stepper of the week.<\/UL><\/p>\n

    The week’s best stepper will have his or her picture taken with the Blue T-shirt and will be featured in UNMC Today.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
