TimbukTOO Team Room

[Bobbie_Zee]

Happy Thursday, one and all!
I've throttled back my rowing goals a bit; find I'm getting a bit tired.
But I still plan to hit 800,000 by the end of August.

Row strong, comrades!

[CONLEJM]

I am slowing down with you Bobbie.

I am finally learning that one cannot go full-blast 100% every day as one gets older.

[johnb]

Hey Draven,

I started rowing regularly on the erg just in time for the dog days of August challenge four years ago. It is a grind, hang in there, we are in the home stretch. I do it every year now and also look forward to the Fall team challenge.

Thanks for the encouragement

It certainly has been a grind, but I've only got 5k to go now, which I'll hopefully tick off tomorrow!

Thankfully there's a couple of weeks before the Fall Team Challenge starts

[Poprow]

Team TimbukTOO has passed 10MM!
Pats on the back all around! Great job, team!! We all made this happen!

TimbukTOO welcomes Riyad E and Aditya P!

It's been a great week of rowing - more than 10 rowers and over 100k each day!
Let's keep it going!
Row strong!!

-Angela P
Thanks to all of you that spread the cheer this week!

[Draven]

To avoid - or perhaps create - any confusion, Riyad E is me

Wasn't sure whether the forum name was supposed to match your LogBook name, but in the end I opted for my usual forum handle.

Really enjoyed pushing through the Dog Days - having a rest day today! - and looking forward to the Fall Team Challenge.

[aadit]

Thanks for the welcome and looking forward to many meters with the team again!

[Bobbie_Zee]

I am slowing down with you Bobbie.

I am finally learning that one cannot go full-blast 100% every day as one gets older.

Yeah, and you are still a young puppy, Jim, only pushing 50! Me, I'm staring down 60. Aiming for 300k/month isn't accomplishing much besides exhausting myself. My split times are stagnant. I'm throttling back to 200k/month, with built-in "days off" to rest. And keeping my heart rate no higher than 150.

[Bobbie_Zee]

Ok, did 225k for the month, and just topped 800K for the year. I think I'll have a celebratory glass of wine tonight.

I signed up for the Fall Team Challenge -- It starts two weeks from tomorrow. (How can that be?????) Angela, I'll pledge for 200K for the team.

Row strong, friends! And I hope it's as gorgeous in your part of the planet as it is in New Jersey.

[aadit]

I just signed up as well - please add me to the 100K group

[johnb]

Yes, time for the fall team challenge. I will pledge 150k, to push myself. Go team!

[Draven]

Not sure I can manage 150k, but I'll try to hit 100k for the team.

Haven't pushed the boat out (sorry couldn't resist) much this week, since I've got a sportive to ride with Garmin tomorrow - didn't want to be tired before I started!

[CONLEJM]

I didn't intend to take a week off, but it happened anyway! No regrets.

I think I am 200KM ahead of where I was at this same time last year. I tend to not row as much in the humid weather, and pick up distance in the latter part of the season.

I'm in for the Fall Challenge. I should be able to do about 200KM.

Thanks Angela for keeping track of us all!

[smillsy]

Put me down for 100k again!

[Poprow]

Congratulations to Gary W for reaching 1 Million Meters!

I wouldn't pack my rower until I had finished
I am out of commission for now but the team has been busy.

I still have to post Month to Date August and Season to Date figures.

Thanks to those of you who started posting goals for the Fall Team Challenge.
I'm going to set my starting goal to be 100k.
As Bobbie Z and others have mentioned, you have to sign up for the FTC. Go to the Teams page of your Logbook and click Join Team Challenge under Fall Team Challenge.

You will also need to choose a team. We are Team TimbukTWO. You can join us or join another Team. Your Affiliation with us will remain unaffected unless you decide you like the other team better and change your Affiliation. LOL!

Riyad - good luck with your sportive tomorrow (yes, I had to look that up)
Btw, if you would like us to call you 'Draven' just let us know.

Jim C, welcome back. I hope to rejoin the actual rowing portion of the team in about 10 days.

Happy Friday, everybody!
-Angela P
