1. Sign up using the “New User” link from the home page. When you sign up, you’ll be asked for your “Mobile Number”. What is needed here is the e-mail address your mobile number is associated with. This will be used by the system to recognize who sends in the workout. If you don’t know your address, you might try to send an e-mail from your mobile phone/device to your own computer e-mail account to see what your phone e-mail address looks like (for more info, see http://tinywords.com/about/mobile/).
2. Try logging in, and entering a workout manually from the Workouts page that appears.
3. In the Workouts page You can review/edit/delete previous workouts and diary entries by clicking on the day.
4. Try sending a text message workout to your account. For details on using KUDO, with example text messages, please see the post titled “KUDO Basics” in the “TriGeek Help - KUDO” category.

Please contact us with any ideas, bugs, or feedback. To contact us, find the “Contact us” link from the home page.

In order to use KUDO, send a message to a@kudo.us.  This is a TriGeek system email account, and it’s used by our server software to read your message(s), interpret them, and save your workout afterwhich the e-mail is deleted. 

Here are a few examples of KUDO entries:

A fun 10K race, completed in 1 hour 1 minute: 

• 3 **10k *1:01:00 #4 fun race
  OR

Workout Elements

The different pieces of workout entry information you can send are listed below.  The only rules are:

1. the type of sport (1 for swim, 2-bike, 3- run, 0-other) needs to be the first character in the message, and
2. you must have a space between each part of the log entry. 

Many of these pieces have two ways that they can be expressed, or two different punctuation ‘markers’ that let TriGeek KUDO know what you mean.  The different methods are included to make it easier to enter workouts on a difference types of phones or devices.
