TimbukTOO Team Room

Opps... I was the guilty party overdosing on fettuccine Alfredo the night before infused with LOTS of garlic!!

I think your subconscious realized that rowing sucks the life out of you and was taking preventative action! Where’s a GIF of a rowing vampire when you need one?

Re: Perfume. We had a novice rower leave the crew in a huff because it was suggested she not overdose on perfume before a row. She was already mad because it was pointed out how hard it is to row with jewelry dripping off her fingers.

Sounds like you're probably better off without her!

Just as work expands in proportion to the amount of time one allocates to complete it in, it occurred to me that I could trick my mind with the idea of diminishing effort by doing a 5K row, then 4k, then 3k, then 2k and finally, no sweat, 1K. Who can't row an extra 1 k, even at turtle's pace? Voila! 15 K. I did it again yesterday (5, 3, 3, 2, 2)--a breeze! (To the extent that rowing can ever be 'a breeze'.) All going well I'll be back to my 20k/session in no time.

That's using your head. I'm inspired to give it a try.

Opps... I was the guilty party overdosing on fettuccine Alfredo the night before infused with LOTS of garlic!!

Where’s a GIF of a rowing vampire when you need one?

None to be had! In searching however, I found this unrelated but very humorous one...

[The Blacksmith]

Uh-oh- Is the "Flight Of The Hummingbird" beginning? Just when I thought it was safe to get on the water again!
Actually-glad to see you up on the stat list again Heather.

[_Acorn_]

while Amanda is puffin’ towards 100K (-1,938m)!

Hilarious! I am definitely puffin after two days of near 10,000 workouts. Whew!

Closing in on the Holiday 100,000!

Welcome to Jonathan Ryan, who we thought was a neophyte to rowing, but we have 1.3 million reasons to doubt that now! Welcome to the TimbukTOO boat!

Oh no!!!

You never said you were going to post meters. Now I'll have to complete the holiday challenge. That pin is going to be s-o-o-o-o-o good.

I've got two goals: .625D and in an effort to further "lean" out, I'm giving up peanut butter through the entire challenge. There, I said it, done deal! The half million meters will be the easy part.

Welcome aboard to Jonathan and Amanda, glad you chose Timbuktoo!

Really nice to see Katerina, Pat, and Heather's name swirling around here again also.

Good luck to everyone
