Hey Taff's, was anyone else going to take up Speedy on the 2 million challenge or was I the only one I mean I have not been going for speed as I am trying to lower overall body but I thought a 2 million challenge would lower weight cut credit card bill (never off erg to spend), increase time spent in home(erg is in basement) more time with the family ( read never left basement) and so on. Or where you just fooling there Speedy, in that case I am off the challenge and back on ice cream Buttie. Anyway ZJ is still pulling good numbers for his real short legs( Tough go he has my genes, and my Jeans are only 32 long ) but he is determined to pass the next team, and so should we all be. Less then 3 million behind three months to go, I think we could possible catch team oarsome, what do you all say. Mike

Sorry gang....2 million more meters during this season is not on my agenda! I plan to be doing about 60K/week, which should come out to one more million, not two....I need more recovery time than would be possible with a goal of 2 million meters by April 30. I'm pretty sure that much rowing would just put me on the injured list and useless to myself and the team. I can see myself having the goal of reaching a total of 2 million for the season, because I'm at 900,000 right now, so that's 1,100,000. Is anyone interested in a variety of challenges, with a new one every week, like the Oarsome team is having? Of course it would help those that are trying to do 2 million more because it would give them something interesting to do along the way. What to do you say? I don't know if we want to go through the rigamarole of voting on the challenges, but we could just have one of the Founding Fathers, or Sir Speedy, announce what the week's challenge is. And then we all either do it, and post our results, or don't, with points given for doing it. And then maybe the ones that do all of the challenges get to have something added to their signature, or something, just for fun. Good for you Mike, for going for the 2 million!

FOR THE ATTENTION OF MIKE Z. Dear mike, check out page 130 PORKY, 2nd entry, i have probably bitten off more than i can chew but as R.P.

P.S. dew its hard harder than they will ever know. ( quote from a famous welsh sing along, especially sung by me on rugby trips.) PORKY.

That could be your challenge to think of something challenging to challenge us every week. Challenge on??

Hi Speedy, I don't know if what I'd come up with would be considered challenging by anyone else. It would be better if someone who has at least been coached, or has really followed a training program, or something, came up with the challenges, I think. Right now my rowing consists of occasionally rowing one of the "events" to try for a PB, kind of alternated with what I call "mixed junk", which is rowing some fixed distance and whatever feels good at the moment and stopping whenever I feel like it (always at 10MPS though), or doing, say, a 10K and sprinting for 100m every 500, or sprinting for 200m every 1000. I haven't even dared to do any 500m sprints yet. So what I would think was a challenge would be silly to you guys. If someone else came up with some challenges, I would do my best to do them. --Mrs Wimp

Carla, It seems like you also don't usually get a chance to row until late, even later than I. (When do you get up in the morning? If you finish rowing at 2 a.m. and then, I assume cool down for a while before being able to go to sleep, you must be tired in the morning.) Today some of the kids had a snow delay start for school, so I was able to row during waking hours - what a difference! I usually have a hard time getting to 10 km in 40 min late at night, but this morning I did and SB for the 10 km - 38:40.5, had been 39:16! (I don't get PBs anymore, being rowing for a while and getting too old.) Maybe you are more of night person, so rowing late is good for you. I am more of morning person, so to row early was great. If you are also a morning person, and you get a chance some day to row early, it might be good for you as well. David

Hi Dave, I end up rowing very late because, even though I get up at a fairly normal time (starting Monday I'll be up at 7 at the latest) I can't row in the morning, I'm too stiff (lower back). There's no time between breakfast and lunch nor before dinner (once in a while I can do that, but not often. ) We eat around 6:00 and I hate rowing with almost any food in my stomach, plus I have tons of stuff to do inthe evening, so I end up starting no earlier than 11:00. Usually to bed by 12:30 or 1:00. I catch up on the weekends. Carla
