TimbukTOO Team Room

[Hummingbird]

Still not feeling well, but feeling well enough to eek out 5K at a pretty good pace. There is something going around up here in the Northeast that is essentially like a nasty six-week cold. I am on Day 11 of this thing, and it really sucks! Anyway, I hope you are all doing well. Keep up the great rowing!

Sorry to hear you're still sick! Yuck. Summer colds are the worst, and if memory serves, yes, they generally last a very long time. I doubt I'm in danger of catching it up here but I'll keep eating my grapefruits just in case. Fortunately, I like them because I'm suffering without my homemade Oreo ice cream this summer! I am determined to lose this flaming weight once and for all!

Adios,
Heather

There is a Summer Super Sprints Challenge July 12–19. Here are The Details:

- Row or ski a 100 meter and one minute piece between July 12 and July 19.
- All pieces should be single distance/single time workouts, i.e. not as part of a set of intervals.
- This is an individual challenge. (You do not need to belong to a team to participate.)
- Meters must be entered online.
- Indoor rower and SkiErg meters only (no on water/on snow meters please).

I have never sprinted before (I'm very slow) - does anyone have any tips?
Btw, does anyone on the team SkiErg?

Have a good one.

Congrats to Heather the Hummingbird, our first millionaire this season!

Those short sprints of less than 2,000 meters are killer hard if you want to show up anywhere near the top of the rankings. It is a mostly (if not purely) anaroebic undertaking and if you are not used to that you'll find yourself panting for breath and feeling light-headed before you are through. At least ... that is how it was for me the couple of seasons I went in for rankings. Beyond 2,000 meters it become more of an aerobic endeavor. Still difficult to place in the rankings, but a different kind of difficult.

I own a SkiErg and I love it. I feel it is the perfect complement to the rower in that it seems to use all the other muscles that rowing does not primarily use. I find it a more difficult exercise than rowing, but that is just me and how I am built/wired/conditioned.

Have a good row!

Thanks for the congratulations on reaching a million! Much appreciated: I was so focused on reaching my 15 M lifetime metres that I hadn't noticed. As of today, I have only 169 k to row to reach that goal (not that I'm going to collect the shorts and t-shirt award until I can fit the small size again ).

Cheers to all.

Heather
