WRC 2009 Update: Team Progress Thru 3.25.09

Post by Kona2 » March 26th, 2009, 10:05 am

Through day 11 of this challenge, we have some amazing numbers being accumulated! Some of the meter milestones are:

400K William H
300K Dan C
200K Mike S, Tim P, Barry (Baz)
100K Dave H, Chris T, Darryl, Jan, Tom R., Peter H, Mike M, Mike C, David G, Thomas J, Kristine

ALL meters are important - and they all count! Thank you so much for rowing with the Luna-Tics team!

Rowers continue at warp speed 4 (100K x 4) - making great progress towards destination moon! Our row through space yesterday produced 437,484 m! Moon must be getting brighter - drawing us closer!!

We are currently ranked at #6 overall, and #5 in the virtual club segment. The larger teams (medical facilities, health clubs) have not yet updated their logbooks into the Concep2 system - this is usually a once a week kind of deal, so we'll see how things look in a day or two! We're doing very well in the virtual club group! Row on!

We've crossed into 73 million meter territory....wowzer! We are zipping along at warp speed three in the last 24 hours....crew picking up the pace to meet some personal milestones as end of rowing year draws closer?!

Image March Madness Challenge Update: Riding the Boards

Overall participation in the Concept2 challenge has steadied to about 1100 participants still on the boards. As noted previously, this number fluctuates a bit as rowers update their logbooks. The number of individuals still on the 10K and above boards is 370 give or take a few. The Luna-Tics have been steadfast at:

5K and above - 23 (might have lost one here)
10K and above - 12

Congratulations on 2 Million Meters for the season Dave H! Way to Row!

Kona2 - "faster or longer"..... I don't do fast well on the month long, grind it out, day after day row challenges. I do my fastest with 2 days off before trying and can't afford that luxury now. So until after the WRC, my rows are just long and done at a moderate pace.

Great job, everyone, on the milestones and meters.

I don't know about all these meters ... I have callouses on the backs of my heels. Very attractive, especially now that sandal weather has arrived. (Maybe I should wear shoes to row.)

Incredible meters everyone!

Being new to this I am amazed by those who do the Red Giants, in one sitting or whatever. Earlier this week I did 10k in one sitting and boy did I feel that. Wow, I was thinking that is only 1/5 of a 50K. However, since doing that it has changed my perspective of 5k rows.

Thanks all for the motivation.

Amazing Meters

Post by Kona2 » March 26th, 2009, 11:53 pm

We've passed the FIVE million mark in 11 days on the World Rowing Challenge - those meter amounts are really adding up!

I can attest that I was regretting having used up all my March Madness get out of rowing for the day "cards" today....we've had over a foot of snow - had to resort to manual labor since I forgot to restock the petrol for the snow blower. :oops: Made for really slow rowing after shoveling for a couple of hours.

Ouch Kona! I think that's a corollary of Murphy's Law in northern climates. No gas for the snow blower is sure to cause heavy snowfalls. It probably was heavy, wet, sloppy, sticky spring snow as well. Good for some snowmen? Your storm is headed to the south of us. Too cold here for it to track on top of us.

It was time to stop and smell the roses - glad I did.

Immediate goals are successful completion of the March Madness challenge at the 10,000 m level and a 5 MM season. I hope to wind up the season on the first page of the 10,000M+ Daily Annual Meters Honor Board for 2009, but we'll see how that pans out.

So far this season I've lost over 100 pounds and rowed more meters than I ever dreamed possible - and I never would have accomplished it without the motivation you folks provide daily. Many thanks!

We will reach the moon and I'm betting it will be sooner than we expect!

. :D
