Chris -
After I rowed my 7K, I switched to 'just row' for about 1K, guess where the monitor stopped....

1027 of course!

A fine number, to be sure, Gina.

Thank you, everyone, so much for your kind words and support ... and for all those extra 1K's. I really appreciate the posts on the forum, and the PM's ... and my mom would have loved the Concept(!). As Jan mentioned, she rowed with us LunaTics last season ... convinced that the erg was helping her arthritis, and also helping to keep her blood sugar under control. A detached retina ended her "rowing career," but she remained interested in everyone on the team. She was also a very competitive 80 year-old and quite proud of the fact that she was #1 in the world for 1K in her age group ... regardless that there were only three other fine older ladies in that group!

thx again, all.

Did anyone suggest it totals 14? Maybe for the Feb. 14th challenge.

Did others notice that Chris ended with 54 - which is a double 27

And lucky for me, my "extra 1027" was just enough to keep me ahead of Jan for yesterday.

...feeling the pressure with Jan, Kristine and Karyn all chasing me to get to the million meter season!

Yes, it is just a number I landed on two days in a row and then Chris pointed out that the total of the numbers equaled 14. Since 7+7 = 14, I thought that would be a good number to repeat.
Tomorrow will be 10 days in a row.

First time in 5 days I've had wireless so I'm checking in to see what's happening in the Luna-Tic world. And actually it's good to be without 'puter service once in a while.

Chris - So sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. Your memories of her will be a comfort to you.

bg = Welcome back!

Kayrn - Nice medal collection! Impressive!

And Way to Row Luna-Tics!

I've been canoeing on spring runs 3 days in a row. Alexander Spring run on Saturday (7 miles), Juniper Spring run yesterday (7 miles), and today we were on Silver River, a great 9 mile paddle upstream and back. There seemed to be 2 monkey troops now calling Silver River their home and we probably enjoyed the antics of at least 40 monkeys today. We also saw the largest gator of the trip so far - at least a 12 footer but I know there are bigger ones. Saw lots of White Ibis, Limpkins, and Egrets today also. Tomorrow we are paddling in Blue Springs State Park, hopefully with manatees present. I'm also playing with a Flip video camera mounted on my canoe as I paddle. I'm looking for some new 60 minute mind diversions when I get back to rowing again. So far I think its doing a fine job. And I'm still at least 10 days away from that Kona2. Later.

Thanks for checking in while you're on canoe-about, Darryl! And watch out for those gators !

Elsewhere in our rowing universe, we've spotted the constellation Orion !

And the

is on the boards today too! Good to see some meters from some of our youngest team members!

A New Zealand "Story"

We were in some pretty remote areas on the South Island - areas where there might be 300 people living in a 80 km stretch. There was very little light pollution. While at Lake Moeraki, we were treated to some good stargazing as we searched for the Southern Cross constellation, the smallest of the 88 - and only viewed from the southern hemisphere. One of the tour leaders used a green laser pointer to show us where the Southern Cross would appear....and we started from the familiar stars that form Orion's belt. This was also the night we went in search of the bioluminescence of the glowworms.....

By the way, if you are interested in seeing what's in the night sky, check out http://www.heavens-above.com for what's in the sky above you - wherever you are! You'll certainly see where the International Space Station is presently cruising.....something we'll have to watch out for if we move into its orbit!

Southern Cross

Season meters as of 292/365 = 59,012,816 m!

Total meters on the day = 163,683 m

Oars in the water = 19 percent

Very cool of you! Thanks! You're right. We are all one big community.

Chris,

I'm so sorry to hear that your mom passed away. I did not realize the connection. What a wonderful picture you posted of her. Thanks for sharing that. Last week was a tough one for us here, too. We lost two dear friends to cancer. They passed away within an hour of each other.

Rae was an inspiration to me on the team last year. Three cheers for her!

And welcome to our new team mate.

And congratulations to Kiba for your recent meter milestone.
