-Angela P

[Bobbie_Zee]

355 days left in the season, Angela? Ouch! John, I'm with you on being more consistent early in the season. I'm trying to get on the erg every day, even if it's only for 20 minutes.

Our team is at #15 spot! Row on. And hope we can attract more members during the next team challenge!

[johnb]

Today was a good day to row. 2 sessions and 15km's. I still don't know if I can get a half marathon in by the 15th, but we'll see. My wife and I are getting ready to move and have a lot on our plate. We still haven't settled on where but we will any day now. Did anyone else note that Eric Murray retired. One of the all-time great rowers. Maybe we can recruit him to TimbukToo for some post-retirement fun rowing, he sure could come in handy on the team challenges!

[Poprow]

Team TimbukTOO has passed 1MM!!
We did it!! Great rowing, everybody - we all contributed. Onto the next mil.

Tomorrow is the final day of the global marathon challenge, any more wild souls who want to give it a shot? I am pretty happy with my rowing efforts so far this season.

For much of last year I was kind of sloppy in my rowing, but the challenges woke me up starting with the Dog Days of Summer. When I gets sloppy my stroke rate climbs up into the 30's, now I am consistently keeping it in the low to mid-20's and getting consistent results. Today I spent some time focusing on the fluidity of my stroke and trying to ensure the recovery portion of my stroke takes at least twice as long as the drive portion.

Today was a serious cardio day, 3400 meters of rowing, followed by 45 minutes of cycling (spinning class), followed by 2 heavy sets of Lat pull downs (140lbs. x 10 reps x 2 sets), followed by 2100 meters of rowing, and then 45 more minutes of cycling (spinning class #2).

The team is doing great so far, let's keep it going.

I wasn't able to do a half marathon, just too many things going on as my wife and I apartment hunt in Brooklyn, NY. But I am glad to be keeping my rowing on track to start the new season. I see our number has grown to 30, welcome back to all those who've grabbed an oar! We are currently in 16th place worldwide with just over 1.3 million meters rowed. Have a great day
