Thank you for letting us know.Kona2 wrote:In my time in the communications chair for the Lunies, I've had to write at least four postings that are about the loss of a teammate....and this is another one.
Richard T (Drivetofast) passed away yesterday afternoon following what sounds like a massive heart attack. His neighbor gave me a call to let me know so that I could let the team know that we had lost a teammate. No matter how much exercise you do, you cannot always outrun other factors - something we all know well. For all the times that Richard T was kind of prickly and combative, he also did a lot of the right things for people. We didn't always hear about those things on the forum. Initially, Richard had indicated privately that he was going to leave instructions for his dogs to be euthanized upon his death. I didn't want to see that happen, and asked the neighbor what was happening -- he did not leave those instructions. Two of his three dogs have been placed, and young Corky (not quite two) is at a trainer's house learning a few manners.
Richard's neighbor, Gretel, said Richard called these pups his millennials - and didn't believe in disciplining them much. After all, most pups outgrow some of the craziness starting in year 3. They were always ALWAYS with him. And now life has changed as it often does. Richard went out to lunch with his neighbor and another friend, and began complaining about excessive heat and chest pains shortly after lunch. The neighbor dropped him off, and when he didn't answer his phone a couple hours later, went in to check on him. He was gone and had been for a couple of hours.
We never know how much time we are given in this life, and so we try to make what we do count and memorable (one way or another). It's time for us to row or bike or ski-erg some special eights in Richard's memory, if you choose to do so, ..and hope that Corky finds a home, too.
Rest in peace, Richard T.

Distance covered on the rower in the last 30 days: 636,498m
Time spent pulling chain in the last 30 days: 50 hours and 45 minutes
Calories burned while rowing the last 30 days: ~36,130
Being a part of the best virtual rowing team out there: priceless!
Thank you to everyone on the team for the continued encouragement and motivation, both spoken and unspoken! Keep on rowing!

I just joined and I would love to help this team get to the moon!
Still looking for a good training schedule for a real newbie but I'm sure to find it somewhere on this forum. First 100 km already in the log and I did 2 10k runs yesterday and 3 days ago. I really like it!
Cheers!

And I've joined the affiliation as well now. Thanks for the tip! And welcome Player One!
I think I am now affiliated as well now.Kona2 wrote:Welcome to our two new team members Andre and Player One! Our journey to the moon is made much more interesting with more teammates! I don't believe either one of you is showing up in our meter roster for the affiliation, though. To join the Luna-Tics as part of our year round team, you will need to go to your profile page (to get there, when you are in your logbook, click on the top right side of the page, then edit profile), scroll down to the part that says AFFILIATION, and that's where you indicate Luna-Tics. The join a team segment that is for Challenges is a little bit different. We'd love to see you be part of the year round team - because that is the part where we can celebrate your meters. Otherwise, I can't see them.
