...

Izz, do we have a team goal?...

You've come a long way, baby!

I'd like to aim for 10 million, though we'd need to up our team members to about 67 and average 150K each... with our present amount of rowers, how about 8.25MM?

All hands on deck, pulling strong for the beginning of the challenge!! A solid 23 of 65 members (35%) logged 245,284 total meters Friday!! I should be able to get on the boards today... I finally finished my big landscaping project but have given myself a nice carpal tunnel flare-up in the process, so have made my goal just to get me to my 1M for the season.

Lots on the horizon: Jerry is steaming towards 4.6M (-25,495m), Heather is bearing down on 3.1M (-30,000m), Mark is thinking about maybe getting around to 2.8M (-5,939m), Yisroel is a HM and change from 2.5M (-21,475m), Adam is nearing 1.9M (-40,343m), Andy is approaching 1.4M (-48,342m), Kyle is a short sprint from 1.3M (-6,000m), Jim is close to 1.2M (-10,000m), Jamie is eyeing 1.2M (-29,552m), Glenn is oh-so-close to a cool 1M (-2,110m), Marius is nearing 800K (-30,500m), and Brent is also a HM and change from 150K (-21,127m).

Some great metres posted already, way to go Team!

Unfortunately I'm headed to Boston and New York for a couple of weeks on vacation from tomorrow so I won't be able to contribute as much as I would of hoped to this challenege. However, I am sure that you'll all cope fine without me and I look forward to re-joining you all next month!

Take care of yourselves,
