Jack, you are doing great! Keep it up!

Happy Sunday, everyone! I'm posting this before it disappears again.
-Angela P

[johnb]

Hi team, Still struggling with the process of moving, but I am trying to work in the occasional row when I can. Keep up the great efforts and I will get back to my normal pattern pretty soon.

[army padre]

Good luck with the move, John. I feel your pain having moved 10 times in 24 years of military service. I just returned from Fort Jackson on Saturday. I was able to run most days, but I came back to 100-degree weather in San Antonio. I will be a much more loyal rower for the foreseeable future--except for a few trips to Central and South America this summer.

[Poprow]

It's here! The Summer Solstice Challenge!!
20 people have already completed the challenge in Australia and New Zealand. Wow!

The Details
-Row or ski 21,000 meters on June 21.
-Meters can be rowed/skied all at once in one workout or over several workouts throughout the day.
If you add 97 meters to row/ski 21,097 meters, or a half-marathon, it needs to be rowed/skied all at once in order to qualify to be a ranked piece.
-This is an individual challenge. (You do not need to belong to a team to participate.)
-Meters must be entered online.
-Indoor rower, SkiErg, on water and on snow meters count. You can combine meters to reach 21,000 meters.

Good luck to everyone!

[Draven]

Hey everyone - just a short note to apologise for being a terrible team member this year

I promise that I haven't become ludicrously lazy, I just set myself a running target of 1,000 miles for 2017 so most of my training has been pounding the pavement or trails, rather than on the erg.

We've also been blessed with unusually decent weather over here in the UK this year, so heading out for a run hasn't required as much effort as it usually would!

I do feel bad about letting the team down in all the challenges this year, but I'm going to try to get more regular rowing sessions in around the running.

Hope everyone is well and rowing strong, though

[army padre]

I will join on the apology bandwagon, too. Same reason: decent enough weather in San Antonio to run in the early am. July is my rowing transition month for sure. We have plenty of time to get rowing fit before the fall competitions.

[Hummingbird]

I see I'm just in time for the apology bandwagon--who knew there was one passing by? No excuses, just....life.

Anyway, I've entered a total of 40+K today which was not all rowed today--only 14 k; the rest I just never got around to entering since my efforts were so sporadic. But all that has changed: Le Tour de France started today, and annually it's been my kick-in-the-butt motivation to get back on the rower, which usually means I stay on it for the September challenge and then continue on to Christmas. Fingers crossed that will happen this year. (And yes, I know they are riding bikes, but I'm not able to be a couch potato and simply watch without munching etc, so rowing works.)

I haven't read previous posts so I don't know what's going on; all I can say is that I hope everyone is well and healthy. I'll be checking in from now on.

All the best,
Heather
