Happy New Year!

Great rowing everyone for the HC! I managed to do about what I wanted to but I'm going to try and bump it up a bit for the VTC.

Go ahead and please put me down for 202,138 meters. I know that's a strange number but it's 1 meter more than my best month ever so this seems like a good month to beat my best (even if it's only by 1 meter)
Good luck to everyone!

Happy New Year! Row strong in 2017.

Angela,
Thanks for posting the numbers.
Congratulations to Angela P for passing 1 million meters for the season!

That's a lot of meters, folks!

Mark S - your impressive goal is going to inspire me back into tracking goals. I'll get my act in order.

If anyone else is interested in setting a goal for the VTC, please share. We'll cheer you along. I'm cutting back. I think 150k is a stretch for me this month but that's my target for now.

Row strong, everybody but don't hurt yourself! We want you to make it through the 31st day.

Happy Saturday night!
-Angela P

It's so cold here in not so sunny FL. Stay warm!
Glenn Y - thanks for looking out for me!!

Row strong, friends!

[jmaybe]

I've really enjoyed reading through some of the previous pages of posts.

I only recently started rowing and, not knowing any better, joined some other team initially. There was no team board and absolutely no interaction among team members. After poking around on the forums I was delighted to find the TimbukTOO team.

I've already learned a lot from your posts and appreciate the help you have been so forthcoming in providing to others new to the erg or looking to improve.

Best regards,

John

[CONLEJM]

Welcome aboard John! This is a great team. The chatter on the forum ebbs and flows, and many of us have been here for years. The people here give a lot of encouragement, and advice. Chances are, anything you are struggling with, we have struggled with too. Just let us know!

[Gabi H]

Happy New Year everyone, it's been great seeing all the progress made so far in the team challenge. The dedication here is very impressive!

I recently found out I have a hernia that will need repair (surgery this week) I'm disappointed that I'm currently unable to row but sincerely hope I will be able to return to it soon. Does anyone have experience with this to share? I would love to know how it's resolved for you.

So long for now, keep rowing strong

Gabi H

[warrenf]

I had hernia surgery last January. It took about a week to get over the soreness. The doctor put me on a weight restriction. No lifting more than 20 pounds for 6 weeks. He also said no rowing for 6 weeks.
I was allowed to walk as much as I wanted so I had a 4 mile route that I walked 4 to 5 times a week.
Hope that helps

Team TimbukTOO has passed 26MM!
Cheers to us all! Go Team!

TimbukTOO welcomes Keith J!

Let’s all make some space on the boat for Keith. Thanks for joining us.

We are just about halfway through the Virtual Team Challenge. I was going to tell you that today was the last day to join in or move to another team but I didn’t get around to writing this update until now.

JMaybe, glad that you found our Team Room. It’s always nice to check in and see a new post.

Gabi H, hope you have a speedy recovery. : (

Jim C and Warren F, thanks for the cheer and advice! Always great to hear from you.

The VTC is half over or there is 50% to go.
Hang in there!! Keep going!!

[tobyj1]

Not a newbie, just hadn't erged for 18 months and stopped recording before that.

Got back into it so thought I would throw my metreage in the pot.

[Gabi H]

I had hernia surgery last January. It took about a week to get over the soreness. The doctor put me on a weight restriction. No lifting more than 20 pounds for 6 weeks. He also said no rowing for 6 weeks.
I was allowed to walk as much as I wanted so I had a 4 mile route that I walked 4 to 5 times a week.
Hope that helps

WarrenF

Thank you for sharing your experience WarrenF, that definitely gives me hope that I'll be able to return to my erg soon ... and Angela, thank you for your good wishes!

Go Team, Row strong everyone!

Gabi H

[Draven]

Wow - don't check the forum for a while and there's a flurry of activity!

Hope you recover soon Gabi - just remember not to push yourself too soon, or you'll end up away from the erg for much longer. It's all too easy to have an injury drag on if you're too eager to get back into training - been there far too many times myself.

Thanks for all the updates as always Angela - I may have set off without you at the beginning, but I'm definitely feeling the strain after the Holiday Challenge. I'm also trying to run regularly again, which means less time and energy for rowing. I'll hopefully still hit my 200k pledge, though.

In the middle of trying to decide what school to send my daughter to in September. One of them has just built a beautiful new boat house on the Thames along with a training room stuffed with dozens of Concept 2 ergs - on the one hand I love the idea of her taking up rowing while she's at school, on the other, I have these visions of having to drive her to the boat house at 6am for training

Sorry for my absence from erging of late. Late last year I decided that I would source all of our firewood (that is: a year's supply - between six and eight cords) for this next Winter (beginning the end of 2017) from our own property.

Well, I have made very good progress, but it is a lot of work, and very tiring. I live on a wooded hill, so I cannot truck my cut wood from one place to another. Nor do I own draft horses. So I have to move it all UPHILL manually (by sled). Then I split it and stack it.

I am about two-thirds of the way through this adventure. Everything on my body hurts! But it is fun, and very good exercise. I feel like Rocky Balboa in Rocky IV, preparing to fight Ivan Drago

I should be back in the rowing saddle come March.

So we passed 5 million, just thought someone should mention it!
