Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
Thanks for the welcome. I'm looking forward to the challenge. Technical question: Do I have to post my daily numbers here on this forum?.....or will you be able to pick up the numbers from the log book?

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
I get them from this page: TimBukTWO Team Profile. I can't tell which day they were rowed -- I just take a "snapshot" once a day and calculate the difference. Anyway, just report your meters per usual into the C2 logbook, and you're good to go!gholtman wrote:Thanks for the welcome. I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
Naah, he's gone back to rowing every day with his team now that school has started, which means that any non-Sunday OTW meters are almost certainly in a masters 8. Until the weather changes. Then it's back to the erg.Izzzmeister wrote: Glen B – 9,500 Glad your son's pushing you!
Oh wait...OTW meters don't count for fall challenge. Darn...guess I'd better start dialing up the erg meters now!

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
I ordered my D today WOOHOO! I won't miss the gym at all....
Now I can row my 2 hours a day in peace with no more "are you through yet?"s
For the fall Challenge, I will be shooting for 450k since I try to row at least 20000m each day (when I am healthy) with row day M-F but when my rower gets here, I might change my schedule.
On a different note; today ended my 5th week since I started rowing. I initially gained 12 pounds the first two weeks so I shunned the scale but today I meandered into locker room and gave it a go. It was nice to me and said I have lost 16 lbs since last weigh in 3 weeks ago.

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
"You go to a pretty unusual gym if folks actually use the rowing machines! "
Well, the way they use it ( and not in correct form or technique) is for 1 to 3 minutes at like 35 to 45 s/m, then they get up and stumble away like they did something good.... so when I am rowing for two or more hours, it interferes with their "work-out". Sometimes I feel like saying "I am going to take a water break, just row for me while I am gone" LOL In fact, one guy asked me today after he rowed for a minute at 45 s/m what all those numbers on the monitor meant.... heheheh
and THANKS!!!!! =])

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
Hi-
Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself seeing that I just joined the team for the Fall Challenge.
I started erging at the gym last year as a component of my weight loss. I erged off and on until last fall when I signed up for the Skeleton Crew. It was such a great motivator that I completed to 200k Holiday Challenge as well. This spring the erging slacked off as I was training for a 5k run with my daughter. I then did a lot of biking over the summer.
Well, the fall has arrived and I needed another challenge, hence signing up for the team challenge. I'm so motivated because my new model D/PM4 just showed up yesterday and I have already done 2 5ks.
Can't wait to rack up some meters starting Sunday.
Thanks for having me!
