50Plus - New Team

[JonT]

Someone used the PhpBB export feature!

I need to change it next year so the projected distance dies away when the challenge is over - less editing for you that way

[Dino]

Anyone up for the Skeleton Crew Challenge next week?

I'll probably cover 31k between 25th and 31st October although its an individual rather than a team challenge.
The next team challenge is the 'Virtual Team Challenge' (VTC) that runs every year from January 1–31.

[Wfrobinette]

I’ve joined up. Been rowing since mid-September.

My goal is a million meters by my 51st at the end of August.

[Pudge]

I was wondering if there were other team challenges. Thanks

[robbiep]

Welcome both to the team
Wfrobinette - 1 million in your first year sounds like a great target to have.


The next few challenges are as below:

Skeleton Crew October 25–31
Holiday Challenge November 26–December 24
January Revolutions January 1–31
Virtual Team Challenge January 1–31

Only the Virtual Team Challenge is a Team one... the rest are individual.

However...
...with a bit of Excel VBA web page scraping of the Concept2 honours boards and cross-matching the team members, I can update this thread with how the 50Plus team members are doing in the individual challenges!

So for the current challenge... only one 50Plus entrant so far on the honour board. This is a short challenge! Row 31000m between 25-31 October.
Get rowing 50Plus-ers

Take it easy Paul! Hope your pulled muscle from yoga gets better soon.

What should be the final Skeleton Challenge results for team 50Plus are below. If you are registered with the team and have recorded over 31000m during the challenge you will be on the honourboard
There might be some late logging of meters, so I'll check again in a few days and add anyone I have missed.

Remember also to go to your logbook to download your certificate!
Well done all - nearly half the team managed to complete the challenge

Just a small reminder about...

Holiday Challenge 2020
November 26–December 24

Row, ski or ride 100k or 200k meters between American Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve and help raise money for one of four great charities.

The Details
Row, ski and/or ride 100,000 meters or 200,000 meters from November 26 to 11:59 p.m. December 24.
Indoor rower, SkiErg and BikeErg meters only (no on water/on snow meters please).
You can combine meters from each machine to reach the challenge goal.
Note: BikeErg meters are counted as half when applied to the challenge.
Support great causes with your meters!
This is an individual challenge. Teams are not used for this challenge.
Adaptive athletes can choose to participate at the 50k, 100k, or 200k levels.

Although this is not a team challenge - we can still work together and encourage each other on!
We have 42 members currently and looking at last year, there were 9602 that completed the challenge getting on the 100k or 200k honourboards, with only three 50Plus members who gained their 200k certificate:

50Plus 2019 Holiday Challenge Honor Board
200k Honourboard

• Guido C - 321946m
• Miles O - 266405m
• Johnny B - 200388m

So lots of scope this year... and some big numbers to match for a few!
I hope to be updating this thread as we get members on the 2020 honour boards.
