Will S,

Congrats on 7 Mill. Keep it up and you can make 8 before May 1st. A Red Giant EH!

What are we going to call it when one of these Lunatics does a 100K. I looking right at you Wild Bill, I know you got it in you. Nice sprint this week-end to Ronstadt me while I was off my feet with a mind case of sun poisoning. You'd think living in Florida I would know about that stuff and take precautions! DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice job by all!

I second the congrats to Will S! Way to manage the subjectives - thank you for your service, sir!

100k? :shock: Well ... I wouldn't rule it out ...

Right now I'm just focusing on reaching 5MM this season - the first season I've ever rowed over 1MM. Rest assured that my pace starting next season will be a bit more reserved.

Sorry to hear about the sun poisoning, dc. I live in the desert and NEVER go outdoors without a hat (at least). Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Sure, you know Sydney is such a small place - I was just clearing the Kangaroos out of the front yard last weekend when who should jog past but Bazza (no doubt on his way to Angelo's to chuck another shrimp on the barbie...)! :wink: :lol: :wink:

Hah, right! So, you want that I organize the barbie for y'all? I'll need to know who's grilling, so I can set up the carpools. Any vegetarians or wheat intolerant? (I've eaten kangaroo, so let's keep that off the menu.)

Hey Chris....eating a bit of kangaroo certainly puts a hop in your step....Baz

So what would kangaroo be equivalent to eating in America? Any guesses? Don't tell me it tasted like chicken!

I think Skippy was roadkill (the bus hit one on the way to Alice), but it definitely wasn't like chicken. More like a cross between venison and liver ... or a really gamey rabbit. But, it's been a while. I might be misremembering ...

Dark meat, very lean and actually quite good for you with only around 2% fat content. Gamey meat like venison.....

Now I see the North Texas team continue to power on....what are you feeding them?

Hmmm! I'm having visions of William H. doing a bit of cross-training outdoors in the land down under with only a hat on. Should I ask where the hat is worn? :oops: :wink:

I spent my New Year's holiday in Sydney one year many years ago - one of the greatest times of my life which I will never forget.

Some training was done while I was there, but whether my hat stayed on the whole time ... :oops:

Red Giant #2?

Post by William H » March 23rd, 2009, 9:48 pm

Always anxious to rise to a new challenge ... I rowed 50K today. :D

I did not do it in one stint, however :(

Does this still qualify me for a

Red Giant

Image
(Red Giant: a star which expands to 50 times its size ... "50!")

? :P

Special thanks to Will S for providing the motivation for this one :!:
