Walk to Madrid

06/05/2018

Good morning! Just a note about steps being reflected on the challenge.
• At the start of every steps challenge, participants will see a lag between their device sync and their steps posting on the leader board.
• Factors that affect steps displaying on the challenge leaderboard:
• Time of day the device is synced
• How often the device is synced throughout the day
• Device the member is using. Devices linked directly to Power of Vitality (ex- Fitbit or Garmin) often come over faster than those linked through Vitality Today (ex- Google Fit or Apple Health)
• The leaderboard typically refreshes overnight and updates in the morning in CST
• Steps can pull in to the challenge platform more often than that, but a rule is that steps should show on the leaderboard within 24-48 hours

Today is the day! If you haven't already synced your device to your Vitality account, do so now so that every step gets counted!

Mark your calendars! Registration for the 2018 Walk to Madrid begins on Monday, May 14.

Hopefully everyone is enjoying their summer and getting in lots of steps and keeping cool during this last heat wave. This year we knew that W2M would be pared back, having lost key staff who have supported W2M since its inception, we just had no idea how pared back when the summer started. It is my hope and intention to bring back Walk to Madrid in 2018 bigger and better! Thank you all for being a part of it!

The first week of 2017 W2M is done! Did you get out and get some steps this past weekend? Maybe you joined the SLU Cancer Center at Komen's Race for the Cure? Or took part in the Vitality hike at St. Vincent Park.

Just remember, if you didn't submit your steps to your team captain for Week 1 you can add them to your totals for Week 2, due on June 19.

Walk On!
