So after several years, I've decided to leave the team and row to open waters. It was a pleasure to have met you all and look forward to watching the team's progress in future challenges, albeit from afar. Izz and Lisa, as I've said so many times before, thank you both for all the hard work that you...

Good luck, Izz and keep us updated on how it goes.

Just wanted to add: in terms of meter updates, I personally would be fine with a weekly aggregate update of all the meters rowed. I know some people may like to see it daily, but for me weekly would be sufficient. Whoever takes over the role of Captain and Coxswain may feel compelled to update dail...

Good that you're feeling better. Take it slow coming back, this year's flu strains are mean little critters.

Easily fixed: recovery rows should be 2001 or 1999 meters.

A badge system would be perfect. As you say though, this site needs a major overhaul to bring it up to modern standards.

Looks like I'm done for this challenge. Went well over my original goal of 200k but short of my ambitious updated goal of 275k

That's great rowing and good luck with the challenge.

It's easy to reward meters. They "reward" pure performance with rankings. I'm not sure what a good alternative reward system would look like. So I'm not thinking about an alternative system, but a concurrent system. Additional rewards rather than alternative rewards. You're right that the rankings ...

It would be really nice if C2 rewarded more than just mega-meters.

I just feel like barfing after a hard sprint

:) Just a heads up, after this season, maybe even after this challenge, I am going to be cutting down on my endurance rowing and stepping up on shorter, faster rows as I just am not burning fat as much as I would like. Even though I am currently at 169 lbs of lean body mass, (still over 200 lbs tho...

We did meet the residents on our last visit. They were very friendly to us even though we said we were from California. :lol: :lol: :lol: In fact we chatted for over an hour. That's about 5 times longer than the TOTAL amount of time we've spoken to all our immediate neighbors here over the last 15 ...

I get to keep working to support us for a while after that. :cry: :cry: :cry: Which brings up a whole new thought. I'd love to learn what all of you do for a living. If you're retired, I hate you, but never mind, what did you do when you worked. I'll start... I am a technical trainer. I teach corpo...
