Finish STRONG !This is the last weekend in the Virtual Team Challenge - sure, we have Monday - Friday to row or skierg after that - but for many teammates, the weekend is the time they have to really put down some meters. This will also be true for the teams we're competing with for honors. All of the teams that are in the top five are seasoned competitors as a group, even with newbies in the mix. What separates some of them out is their ability to make a strong finish. Don't let up on your erging gas pedal just yet...finish strong !!

Season meters as of 269/365 = 119,364,563 m

Total meters on the day = 1,068,720 m

Good stuff, indeed, Tristan. Way to go, young sir. That sounds insanely fast ... not sure if I'd want to be 15, again ... but it would be wonderful to pull those times, without blowing a gasket.

Doctor, Doctor....Mr. M.D....this team's got The Fever....yep, Marathon Fever is sweeping through the crew of the good ship Luna-Tic! Eight full marathons today, at least three official half marathons, LOTS of half moons, a supernova (although this might be two days worth of numbers from Ed), two red giants...and the list goes on and on! Have to admit that the SURPRISE of the day belongs to Tristan, though. WOW.

Hooyah! 120 MILLION TEAM METERS !! Hooyah !!! Greater than 40 percent participation !!! Hooyah !! Greater than ONE million team meters in a day !!
