WRC 2009 Update: Team Progress Thru 4.12.09

Post by Kona2 » April 13th, 2009, 9:22 am

Good rowing ! Collectively we put 310,272 m on the boards yesterday (in between family celebrations, weekend chores, etc.)! Way to multi-task!
We have now rowed the equivalent of 3 percent of the way to the moon in our short time as a WRC team! No time to rest on our laurels, though as we have less than THREE full days to finish out the challenge. We are a few hundred thousand meters ahead of Final Fitness....beware the large team updates....they are like the dark side....mysterious and unpredictable!


Let's finish in a BLAZE of Glory! Row, team, row!!

A million meters for every teammate! A chicken in every pot (unless you are a veggiesaurus)! Worthy goals! Well, I don't know about the chickens, but we are less than 400K away from a TEAM AVERAGE of 1 MM per crew member! That is simply incredible!

Global Marathon Challenge: April 16 - April 30th! (Just when you thought the virtual waters of space were clear of challenges....there is just this one left in the rowing year...) Image
I am sure I read that Dave H has just signed up for this one! Would that be the FULL Marathon!?! So designated by the full moon Image I rarely get to use the full moon graphic! How exciting!

Season meters as of 347/365 = 80,544,020 m

Total meters on the day = 251,079 m

Oars in space = 20 percent

MILESTONES....Celebrations.....Bragging Rights:

The Challenge...

Post by kgallagher » April 14th, 2009, 10:03 am

As I was cleaning my home office, I came across a crew folder from college. On the cover I wrote a quote that I remember getting from an ad in the USRowing magaizine circa 1990. This qote is very appropriate to the LUNA-tics achievements in the WRC and the rest of the season.


The Challenge ... is from within
The opponent ... is yourself
The reward ... is private
The victory ... is having met the challenge

A salute to those who meet the challenge ... and taste the victory


I'm honored to be a part of this team and I salute you. The motivation and ispiration you have offered me made me achieve well beyond anything I could have imagined this off season. I'll be back on the water next week, so you'll hear less from me over the next 7 months or so. Good luck to all in meeting your personal goals.

Think BLAZE OF GLORY.....row row row! Image

World Rowing Challenge ends in less than 48 hours.....! In the meantime, we'll take whatever meter count you can generate! Great time to update those meters for those who don't post every day! We're hanging on at 8th overall in the rowing challenge universe....and fifth in the virtual teams category! And we're doing this with seventy-five dedicated rowers! Thank you all for rowing with the Luna-Tics WRC 2009 team.

We're hurtling through space....that other word doesn't happen until the Marathon Rows....aaack!

ImageIt looks like we have ANOTHER first! Congratulations to Rick on completion of his first rowed half-marathon (at least as a Luna-Tic!)! Image Woohoo! Image

For all who are considering their first half marathon - or full marathon - I think Darryl wrote some good advice the other day.....start that first hour with a little less vim and vigor ...

We are surrounded by a red giant, a full moon, and four half moons! The sky is brilliant! We are a mere 155K from having a team average of ONE MILLION meters per team member! Of course, we would welcome any NEW team members!

Season meters as of 348/365 = 80,845,357 m

Total meters on the day = 301,337 m

Oars in space = 23 percent

MILESTONES....Bragging Rights....Celebrations
:

5.3 MM Wild Bill
2.2 MM Tim P
Image Dan with HM #125, #126
Image Chris with HM # 58
Image Dave with HM # 27
Image Rick with HM # 1?

TWO Million Meter Watch:

Image

ONE Million Meter Watch:

Tom R with (11,499 m) to go! We could have another meter millionaire by tomorrow!

Tom P with (97,500 m) to go! Will he make a late run for it?!

Rick with (180,587 m) to go! He's under 200K now!

ROWED THE DISTANCE: Mega-meters of all sorts!

Image Red Giant = Greater than 50,000 m or rowed in multiple sessions in a 24 hr period

Wild Bill with 52,000 m

Image Full Moon = Greater than 42,195 m or rowed in multiple sessions in a 24 hr period

Dan with 42,194 m (21,097 m x two)

Image Half Moon = Greater than 21,097 m or rowed in multiple sessions in a 24 hr period

Tim with 22,376 m

Lilia 6,000 m
Peter G 7,500 m
