Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
But isn't a canoe one of those funny little boats that you face the wrong way in and use no oars???? 
Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
You will never guess what I did...
I'm going to take the weekend off (and then some) before jumping back into the boat for Dog Days.

And yeah, the Doodle looks like a kayak to me... What do you expect. It was probably created by some poor graphic artist who hasn't seen the sun in years...
We now have two new medalists in the RowLympics -- Rob and Rivka, who has re-joined our team (welcome back, Rivka!
). Our current gold medalists are David, John, Kyle, and Andy, and Jim and Jerry are silver medalists!! Excellent showing, team!! We have through August 12 to accumulate row time, so row strong, team!!-- Lisa

I've been on the fence all morning .... But I think I'm gonna skip rowing today .... To stack firewood instead Been feeling a little burnt out; I think I have been pushing myself a bit too hard lately.
Talk about an addiction; I actually feel guilty about taking a day off!

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
I know how you feel... These challenges are driving me insane! I row, but then I feel I have to keep up the running, swimming, etc. as well. One hour run and one hour row today, and it's hotter than Hades here... Crazy. Only 15 minutes away from that silver tho, and then I'm breaking for a bit. We'll see about Dog Days...CONLEJM wrote:I've been on the fence all morning .... But I think I'm gonna skip rowing today .... To stack firewood instead

Izz is on vacation and was taking his computer, and hoped to be able to post on the road. Looks like he is having trouble though. I'll catch up on all the daily reports early tomorrow. Sorry everyone for the delay!!
