I saw this on Twitter and thought it would be an inspiration for our team. It was retweeted by Concept2 so some of you may have already seen it. But if not check it out. https://twitter.com/7newssydney/status/ ... 69345?s=21

A good one! 70 million meters by that guy in less than 10 years.....incredible!

I was confused by that. He said he does 10 k a day, which doesn't come anywhere near 70 million.

How about 16.7 MM Lifetime Meters? That's the correct number.

Congrats on 15,000,000 meters! Thats 9320.568 miles. You could start at the Bering Strait and row to Antartica, exactly!

22 minutes....

Concept2 Universe should complete the first orbit shortly! Can the Universe can get a couple of orbits done throughout the day!?


Round 3...ding ding ding!

We've got one boat in the water - MERCURY - and are close to getting EAGLE launched. Think about combining your Earth Day Challenge and the 30 minutes you need for Round 3..!

Thanks, Lunies, for your VERY kind congratulatory messages.

Dan, I think that bunny in the crowd of sheep represents my first million. It was definitely the most exciting.

And Zach, those 15 MM meters is kind of an abstract distance, even to me, a scientist. It really puts it into perspective to consider it in miles (for us U.S. travelers). I think I'll pass on the Bering Strait trip. I see enough of that region on Deadliest Catch and it doesn't look inviting.

Again, THANK YOU, LUNIES. You are the best!

Norma (aka Shaun)

How's everybody feeling on their 30 minute row? One-and-done, or a few attempts at it?

Just finished mine and felt like you a few days back at the 500... at one point I was thinking "Stop the ride, I want to get off."
Mentally it was vastly different for me than "just row" for 30min... I got ahead of myself early on and had major problems towards the end...
After all I managed to best my PB by a "hair" (6503m vs 6501m, pace 2:18.3 vs 2:18.4).
Might try another one on Saturday or Sunday and do some interval training and better planning prior...

[TedCG]

My first try at 30 minutes was well off my old best. But I'm feeling over-trained and under-rested after the WEC, April Fools, and especially a new PB at 500m. Having a little knee twinge, so I'm gonna sit pat, and rest up for the 4 minutes. Looking back, I have never recorded a 4 minute time. But I'm imagining it will be like 500m, except 2x as bad, and 2x as long. So 4x worse, or maybe worse to the 4th power. We'll see.
Thanks again to K2, and all you Lunies for all your inspiration, encouragement, and all-around Lunacy.

To answer your question, I rowed at a higher damper setting after a few days rest from that grueling 500k, and took my hubby’s advice not to push it after a 3 day migraine. Crazy as it sounds I was able to row my fastest 30 minute row this season without really killing myself. This is a timed row that I do often so I was really surprised to do so well. But in true Luna-Tic fashion I have GOT TO see if I can improve on that time! I was just short of 6,000m. I just know I can do better
