Thought for the day:


"The goal you set must be challenging. At the same time, it should be realistic and attainable, not impossible to reach. It should be challenging enough to make you stretch, but not so far that you break." Rick Hansen


Seemed to be appropriate for the team.


GO TimbukTOO/TIMBUK2!!!

Hang on to your spirit team..we did go from # 6 to # 9 but not due to lack of strength and spirit.Our efforts have been consistent and awesome!! This particular challenge is a difficult one and had always been full of surprises.It was at one time not to include virtual teams.We were included in the past couple of years.So for us it is a true challenge in every sense of the word.To be in the top 10 is very outstanding and we are TIMBUK2 PROUD!!!

Go TEAM!!!

Man, did the first week of post season basketball go quickly or what? Didn't create a bracket so I didn't have one to tear up after KU's upset loss! Still rooting for KSU (men), San Diego State (women), and UWyo women (WNIT).

Trying not to think about how much I need to row each day; just doing it, sometimes in long sessions and sometimes in several shorter sessions. Made it to page one of the 7500 daily meter honors board and will work not to drop any lower before the end of the season. Am thankful for the challenge running through April 15; the team is doing great!

My cold still isn't gone, but it's nothing like it was a week ago...

[HiAltRowgal]

When did we pass Team Canada???? Last time I looked at the stats, I didn't think we had much of a chance.

Way to go, team!!
