David W - 50,776 Almost 200K this week!

[damselfly]

Heat sheets were just posted on RegattaCentral for Saturday's SWEAT Indoor Regatta in Dallas. In total, there are 552 entires from 20 clubs across 5 different states.

I'm on the second erg for Mens Masters 1x (30-39). There are four of us that registered early. The guy on the first erg has won the category 5 years straight with a best time of 6:29.8. The other two guys either posted slower times than me or didn't provide their 2k times when they registred.

Good luck!! We'll be rooting for you, virtually and really!

OK, now to plan ahead a little. The Blackburn Challenge is now set for July 20th. Anyone care to join me?? Almost any boat can enter-kayaks, stand up paddleboards, dories, etc. Great race and a big party after-it doesn't get much better than that! http://www.blackburnchallenge.com/Blackburn.html

Sorry man, looks like you're on your own again this year!

Am I missing something because my posted meters of over 2k are not listed. (First time I was able to do 2K)

[damselfly]

Karen, those meters were for Tuesday, for anything reported from about 9:30PM PST Monday through about 9:30PM PST Tuesday. I looked and your meters are in the next batch.

And congratulations on going over 2k!!!

I see. THANKS!!! So if I want to get the days rowing in for this challenge do I need to get them in earlier? I want to get over 10k before the end of it.

For the challenge total, any meters you report in your log as rowed on or before 1/31 will go towards the challenge, even if you report them afterwards (though I think Concept2 says they have to be recorded by 2/3 or thereabouts). So say you row the meters on 1/31 but don't enter them into your log till 2/2. As long as you make the row date 1/31 they will go towards your challenge total. Concept2's reports have access to the log item date, so they know what you rowed between 1/1 and 1/31.

The 9:30PM thing is just for our little crew. I have to run a program to scan our affiliation page and challenge team page to get people's numbers, because I don't have access to the real data in the database. That's why some people have huge numbers showing as rowed one day -- they've put in multiple days rows at once. I can't tell when meters were rowed. And I pull the numbers at 9:30PM my time.

Hope that helps!

[giftogab]

Lisa,
It does help. Thanks. I am new and want to pull my share, which is really not happening yet. I do have goals though and want to be doing well in the pack over the next months. In February i will be amping up but also am doing a 10k Kettle Bell Swing challenge that will take a lot of work. I hope it does not interfere with my rowing volume.

Did it!! 251k-and I even have a day left

Ahhh! This is good to know, because it will be a race to the finish for me to meet my goal! I guess I'm just prone to getting sick this winter - I came down with a cold/sinus thing earlier this week that has really slowed me down.
I'm hoping to get a good row in today , but then will have to do a late night row tomorrow because of a meeting on the other side of the state. Glad to hear that I can enter those meters and still have them count!

Oh man, emoticons are dangerous things.

Row strong team! We are in striking distance of our 10M m goal!

WOOO HOOOO!!! Congratulations on meeting (exceeding) your goal!!!! You should pour yourself a nice cold beverage and toast your hard work!

LISA

OMG that picture is too funny,,,,, didn't think I would make my goal I had some off days... and I am just glad this one is just about done. I don't know if I will do the military challenge that but we will see.... Congrats to everyone that has met goals or even if you have not met them, a Congrats still goes out to all who put in the meters... Keep it up... It makes a difference that is for sure. " I will be Back"

Andy where is this being held. or what website can I look at to find the information. I would like to drop over and take a gander at all the Fast rowers maybe I can pick up some pointers and even get to meet you if possible. The time is real stopper if it is in the morning..... If I don't get over I wish you all the Best and may you end up with a PB....

Thanks! I gotta say=love that puffin in your pic. When I was up in Halibut Cove AK, I saw a nesting (?) island. Thousands and thousands of them. Such a cool bird.

[damselfly]

Congrats Smitty!! And to the others so far who have made their goals! I got way-laid by injury, and my goal was pretty aggressive as well, but I'm happy enough. I hope to get to 190.

David, glad you like the pic! I love doing those things. You are AMAZING. Booyah if you go do MilChal. Semper Fi!

Oh man, emoticons are dangerous things.

Don't worry. "The Man" is watching to make sure you're not a danger to yourself or others. You're limited to 10 per post or you get a big bugaboo message. Why the hell that is a forum policy is beyond me.

P.S. How was the honeymoon? I hope you didn't spend any of it banding birds!
