TimbukTOO Team Room

Hey there,

I'm late getting you my goals, but I'm hoping for 175K. Let's hope I (we all ) stay healthy.

Not too late, Steven! Anyone else, you can set goals any time during the challenge. I can't wait for my wonderful family to vacate so I can stop eating and START ROWING!! I'm in for 100k and it starts TOMORROW!

Nice sentiment in that picture, Lisa. But shouldn't she be sitting the other way? And shouldn't she have another oar?

Not only that, but can you imagine rowing in that outfit?

Why not? I've rowed in that outfit before!
(Of course, it only covered my left arm...)

Put me down for 200,000 meters. It may be a stretch with work, etc. but based on my Jan 1st meters, I've started out pretty strong so we'll see if I can maintain the pace I've set.

put me down for 200k

[sbusceb]

Hi everyone

I have just come across this forum and liked it so much that I've jumped ship from my previous team to TimbukTWO.

Please put me down for a 200,000m target for the VTC. I achieved more than this during the Holiday Challenge and have completed all the challenges this season so am secretly hoping to achieve 250,000m, but don't want to officially admit to this in case it puts too much pressure on me.

I bought my C2 on 5 January 2013 and am less than 80,000m short of the 2 million metre mark after today's row. I was hoping to get over the 2 million target within the 12 month period but that week that I took off the erg over Christmas has put paid to that idea.

Best wishes - Chris

[CONLEJM]

Hi Lisa and Cap'n,

Thanks for all you do! I hope you both know how much we all appreciate your efforts.

My goal for the team challenge is 333,333; that is my goal for every month this season.

Thanks, and I hope you all have a great new year!

[damselfly]

I did it! 12k to make up for no rowing yesterday.

Welcome aboard, Chris!! I'm sorry to hear we're pirating other boats' crews but... Oh heck. No I'm not!

No pressure on this team! Just a fun bunch of rowers pursuing good health and fitness, getting behind each other no matter how grand or modest the goal!

My goal for the team challenge is 333,333; that is my goal for every month this season.

Jim, I had to round down to 333k... You can just exceed expectations by that extra 333 meters...

[damselfly]

HEY TEAM TIMBUKTWO!!

We're currently in an awesome 7th place in the VTC standings, and there is LESS THAN 100K between us and the 4th place team! Woo-hoo!! ROW STRONG!!

[cindyreck]

Hi folks! Lots of new teammates on here these days! Fun!

Lisa, please put me down for 125K for the challenge. THANKS!

Row strong!
Cindy
