[danwho]

Welcome Nathan S !!!
And Welcome Peter T (Navelgarden) !!!
Navelgarden is quite an interesting handle. Couldn't resist the urge to see what one looked like.

Well there are work arounds for most problems...and there I was at the gym...I haven't rowed at the gym except in Arizona of late, but for the price of admission I could get my rowing done. Concept2 is sending me both axles and all the bolts and lock nuts. This after I sent in the photo below showing that the bolts were not flush to the surface (ignore dog fur and shrapnel) ..and would probably shear off just as the initial one did. They are even sending them next day air so that I have minimal downtime for the rowing machine in the basement. Thank you Josh at Concept2.



Stats posting will occur after I get back from the gym again. It is good to be flexible on these things.

And that ladies and gents is why we call her K2. Hahaha. Glad to hear you aren't getting the boot from the muddy.

[Thor MW]

welcome to the best rowing team to all the new luna-tics :}

From Bottle Caps to Badges...we are in the TWO-FER Challenge season where your meter piggy bank does double duty for the Mud Madness AND the World Erg Challenge!!

Behold the Bottle Cap! 33 Lunies Stayin' Alive!

The draining drama continues with ANOTHER 346 vaporizations off the Progress Board overall...and one of the Lunies. Hang on Lunies!

Meanwhile, stepping back...our view from space shows the World Erg Challenge in progress....if you're not signed on as part of the Erg Force...well, we could use some additional players!

The Badge!

1 Overcoming disAbilities Virtual 793,460m 19 41,761m
2 Free Spirits Virtual 706,979m 73 9,685m
3 Age Without Limits Virtual 638,982m 86 7,430m
4 FRENCH INDOOR ROWERS TEAM Virtual 553,884m 74 7,485m
5 LUNA-TICS Virtual 463,564m 54 8,585m

Not surprising that OD is fast out of the starting gate with some teammates throwing down back to back full marathons. We know them to be fierce competitors. Will this be the year of the top ten finish for them? No matter where they finish, they will make a strong statement. Of course, now that they're out there, our response is much like a Golden puppy with a ball....CATCH THEM. Double down on those meters, mates!

You are amazing.
When is Boston and what is a 100 mile ultra?

[Navelgarden]

I am dancing. I have more meters than the great King Ed himself on the WEC. Everyone, take a picture of that screen it won't last. Hahaha.
Ok, King Ed Joking is over. I am really hoping you are feeling normal soon. and you take your rightful place at the top. 29 Million is just ... well, amazing! You are and remain my hero. Do be careful about exercising at all with a fever.

All the best man.
Little Thor.
