PS - Leadville CO...home to the Ultra and Outward Bound.

Whoop, whoop and oh happy day! Congratulations, Cheryl, on a magnificent finish to the 2017 erging season...landing on exactly 1,000,000 m and achieving meter millionaire status for the FIRST TIME EVER! We wish you many, MANY more!!

What a year! Cheryl achieved her first million lifetime meters not too long ago, won a prize in the Mudness contest, and now caps it off with a FIRST ever meter millionaire status. Well done!

All In A Day's ERG: Team Progress Thru 4.29.17

Post by Kona2 » April 30th, 2017, 9:29 am

Winter, she said, has returned...and not talking about Game of Thrones either. Shiver me timbers and bring in the plants. Jesse the cat has turned into Jesse of the Peony Jungle.

And so we arrive at the last day of the season ... and all team eyes are on Larry with (20,468 m) to go for his meter millionaire status...and Thor with (8,255 m) to go for his triple meter millionaire status. Never fear, eyes are on the rest of us, too! Meanwhile, Andrew and others in the southern hemisphere are celebrating their DAY ONE of 2018 - and what will 2018 bring?! Better yet...what will YOU bring to 2018?!

MILESTONES...Bragging Rights...Celebrations:

40 MM Lifetime Meters Ed
9.35 MM Ed
2.1 MM Will S
2.05 MM K2
2.0 MM bg
1.6 MM Janice
1.0 MM Cheryl
777,777 m Keith - a lucky seven palindrome!


Thanks, everyone, for rowing and ski-erging with us!

Tony 1,111 m ...a palindrome!
Melissa 2,000 m
Tim 2,785 m
David T 3,500 m
Larry 4,000 m
Kellee 5,000 m
K2 5,123 m...just when I thought it was safe to put away the snow shovels...
Louis 6,000 m
Doug 7,475 m
Janice 7,478 m
Norma 7,777 m ...a lucky palindrome! Ah...but will she finish the year at 2,222,222 m (we think so)
Howard H 7,842 m
Jane 8,118 m...a palindrome bookended by special 8's
Keith 9,680 m
Cheryl 9,984 m
Thor 10,000 m...the suspense!
danwho 11,011 m ...a double aught double palindrome...and great Thor graphic yesterday!
Dennis 13,431 m ...a palindrome while he plans the next season!
Ron 14,441 m ...a palindrome!
bg 15,108 m
Mark 16,258 m
Will 16,578 m
Ed 33,333 m ...a palindrome!


Will try and capture the final season numbers just before the midnight hour so we get a season's end tally. Tomorrow our ranks will automatically shrink - because you're not on the team roster until you deposit some meters! I look forward to seeing MANY first dayers!

Goooooooooo Thor! Gooooooooo Larry! Gooooooooo the Lunies!!

Whoop, whoop and world traveler! Ron's had some challenges in posting commentary...but wowzer, this one deserves a shout out! Congratulations, Ron, on achieving FORTY MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND lifetime meters...and becoming a member of a very elite group of rowers who have circled the earth! We wish you many, MANY more milestones!

In fact, I see that we have FOUR other teammates who could enter the circle-the-earth status in this next year: Will, bg, Danno and Minnie. No wonder we are on our way back to the moon!

Congratulations to everyone who has completed the season still rowing. I, for one, am so pleased i got the million in! I have also raised over £400 too so am very pleased.

Not sure my hands will ever be the same again. I had to do more metres in april than i had in the previous months. With the last two weeks having to do over 122k metres. If i am to do it again (and i arent sure i could again!) I must make it more regular through the year rather than leaving it to the last minute!!

Hey Guys

Sorry for the silence. I was away for a few weeks and I didn’t have this computer with me. Thanks a lot for the well wishes. I will hit the 10 mill lifetime next season sometime. 40 million? Wow!
Way to go Norma, Ron and Cheryl plus all the others I missed along the way. At least I only had to do 28K in 3 days so that wasn’t too bad. Grin.
Oh, I did try to end with 3,000,003 but I didn’t stop the wheel in time and I wasn’t going to try to program the PM. But my palindromic thoughts were there.
May we all have a strong and healthy next season.
Reasonably Mighty Thor.
