Concept2 Forum

Doh!!! I’ve been going about my life blithely unaware that the FTC started; I obviously need to come to this forum more often. I just joined and will crank up the meters.

The devils messing with the flight delays and gate changes In a previous life I travelled for work. For many years I was away 75% of the month - travel M-F for 3 weeks and home on weekends and 1 week of the month. I accumulated a lot of free flight miles and hotel stays. When I left that job, I vow...

Blue sky day with a few storms expected! Nice shot, Kona2! And, speaking of cormorants: The liver bird is a my...

Totals since last lunar landing: 2022 Erging Year = 94,376,601 m 2023 Erging Year = 130,930,740 m 2024 Erging Year = 141,707,605 m So, 3 years and about 2 months for this landing? I’m curious how long it took to get to each of the previous landings? Has the team as a whole accelerated over the deca...

:evil: You changed your name back to Ron Mardix from -mardix- which impacts the spreadsheet macro capture. The spreadsheet sees that there is a difference Does the name change in my profile mess things up for you? I can change it back. I wasn’t sure if you use the username or actual name. Don’t touc...

Might be the other Ron M - lots of workers in the house today doing trim and staining…it could easily have happened!

Thanks and no big deal. I just wasn’t sure if that somehow mucks up your data.

200 K mardix

I think that’s a mistake. I’m at 180k for the season as of today.

mardix 6,000 m...looks like you had a birthday during the Marathon Challenge

I did. Back in the day, I gave myself marathon rows as gifts on my birthdays. I decided to get back to it this year.

I guess this is a good a time and place as any to post my season goal, if for no other reason than accountability and risk of public humiliation and a virtual walk of shame if I fail. I don’t recall, but I don’t believe that in my past life I ever got to 3 MM in a season, so I’ll go for that. That w...

doing the half while standing, and doing it after work, rather than a Sunday afternoon. made it quite a challenge.

David

Sounds, uhm, unfun. I really should give it a try one day soon. Congrats for the half on one of those.

One skiing, one rowing.

David

How do you like the skier and how does it compare to rowing in your view? I assume by its look that it’s more challenging?

Congratulations!

Thank you, dragonfly. Your rowing numbers are also impressive, considering you’ve never rowed before last season. Keep up the great work.

<full disclosure to the team, dragonfly is my wife and I finally got her on a rower after years of nudging>

Adding my congratulations too. Inspiring effort. I have not yet done a full marathon on the erg (only in running, and that was way back in the day), and I've always found ways to talk myself out of it whenever the thought came. But it is inspiring to see others' accomplishments, and maybe makes it ...
