Wow! thanks everyone for all the support!

Jan . . . not a half marathon . . . 2 days row.

Darryl, thanks for trying to give Chris another avenue for her musical listening. Unfortunately she seems bent on playing and singing "All the Ducks . . ." 24/7 :D

You guys are so much fun. Chris has really been enjoying your birthday posts!

Ducks in a row problem with meters logged.

Post by tom pinckney » August 7th, 2008, 6:15 am

I updated my profile and rejoined the team. Somehow, my complete log has been deleted.

I rowed 6000 meters on 8/4/08. Is this showing up on the team log?

Chris - NEW PERSONAL BEST - by 3 minutes! That means that you've had your fourth new personal best (at least) for this season - and have improved your overall time by greater than 5 minutes. And she passed Marjie (how long will it take for this to be noticed?) from TN (a duck) in the rankings! It also did not escape notice that two of the previous PBs were on 5/27 and 7/27

2MM Lifetime meters = Jane! (assuming my math is correct, you've just made the 2 MM milestone yesterday)

And thanks to today's rowers:

Angelo 148,203 m - whew! Way to update the logbook!
Dan 31,697 m
Chris 21,097 m in 1:41:12.7
Jane 17,131 m
AJ 16,336 m
Darryl 16,121 m (just 261 m shy of the 900K mark...and the MM countdown will begin)
Barbara 10,014 m
Mike 10,000 m
Rodrigo 9,120 m
Orion 8,523 m :shock: - theme music from Jaws plays in the background...
Lilia 8,324 m
Pat 8,029 m
Tony 7,778 m
Steven 7,143 m
Dan T 6,583 m
Tom 6,000 m

Many things got in the way, but was finally able to row again, and I've reached my first milestone of 100K ! B)

I really missed the exercise.


Girls, hope you had a great day !

Chris here's you picture of your perfect adventure next week.

I need help from Jane to determine your power seat I'm thinking 5-6. The Cox is obvious, the duffus with the floppy hat. I actually own one of those. Have a great trip I will try to mirror your trip with an Up State NY white water trip. I know, I know there is no comparision.

US rowing

Post by Calamity » August 8th, 2008, 12:59 pm

Although I know many are cheering the USA rowing, some us may be into other teams - like Aus, UK, Mexico, Netherlands. The Aussies did well in mens 8 at worlds this year. Apparently China's been practicing too.

Go for it

Post by Kona2 » August 8th, 2008, 3:59 pm

Here's a more international approach to the Olympics - and perhaps those of you with connections to these regions can supply an appropriate cheer for the rowers.

Overview of the Olympic Sport rowing, i.e., events:

http://proxy.espn.go.com/oly/summer08/f ... t?sport=ro

Fifty-eight nations will be represented in the sport of rowing this summer in Beijing, three more than at the Athens Olympics in 2004. China, New Zealand, Britain and Germany look like the nations to beat.

Dutch Olympic Team referred to in several articles; cannot locate a link, perhaps Peter H can supply reference? Here are the Olympic rowers:
Rogier BLINK Netherlands
Geert CIRKEL Netherlands
Femke DEKKER Netherlands
Paul DREWES Netherlands
Jan-Willem GABRIELS Netherlands
Sjoerd HAMBURGER Netherlands
Ivo SNIJDERS Netherlands
Olaf van ANDEL Netherlands
Gerard van der LINDEN Netherlands
Marit van EUPEN Netherlands
Matthijs VELLENGA Netherlands
Gijs VERMEULEN Netherlands

AUS http://www.olympics.com.au/Sports/Sport ... x?link=234&

MEX - looks like two events according to schedule Peter has put forth - good links by Dan and Peter.

Gabriela HUERTA Mexico
Patrick LOLIGER Mexico


UK - http://www.olympics.org.uk/beijing2008/ ... gt=S&sp=RO

The Dutch rowers

Post by nl07695 » August 8th, 2008, 5:00 pm

Hi Jan,

Nice task you gave me... There are enough pages in dutch but I assum only two Luna's manage that particular slang....

The best I could find on the web for a broader public is this one

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowing_at_ ... r_Olympics

When you click on the heats in the right top corner you'll see all rowers and there countries.

For all the Luna's that want to cheer for the dutch (I know one that has to) follow this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherland ... r_Olympics

For all who are interested here is link to the rowing schedule. It's very detaiked. With this schedule I think you can watch the event on www.nbcolympics.com
or maybe check the TV broadcast to see if they are airing your chosen event.

this might be easier to reference.

http://www.worldrowing.com/medias/docs/media_356650.pdf

For us in PDT, Bejing is 15 hrs ahead, I guess it's 12 for those in EDT. So a race at 1700 hrs will occur at 2 AM my time. Not likely I'll be up watching. I hope they have clips available on the net, past TV coverage of the Olympics has meant lots of waiting around forever!

time to go row...

duck hunting

Post by Calamity » August 9th, 2008, 4:29 am

Duck hunting update:
We have been doing great this last week. Since I started tracking the ducks about three weeks ago, they were 750,000 m ahead of us. At one point in the last three weeks, they were more than 917,000 meters ahead.
Tonight they are only 446,000 ahead.
Our three new members and one reactivated member, Tom, have added 50,000 meters. Angelo;s log update has helped 150,000 more. The rest of us have cranked out the meters the last 12 days and made up the rest of the difference. Good job by all:
Race plan? Keep the spread under 500,000 in the next week.
The following week starting Aug 16 reactivate the hunt.
Jane

Thanks for the international links Jane and others
