TimbukTOO Team Room

And I have to fit the rest of my life into this- my first grandchild is expected this summer...

Congratulations on your soon-to-be addition!! Things like that give so much more meaning to the daily struggles like coming back...

Life is a marathon- not a sprint.

So true. And it's no great prize to finish first.

Hello TimbukTOOers, sadly I sold my Model E rower (please don't call it an erg!f) today because of knee problems. I really enjoyed being part of your team. Maybe I'll be able to continue logging meters for TimbukTOO after buying a Concept 2 skierg? I hope so! Special thanks to Captain Izz and Lisa for countless hours of compiling our statistics and keeping us motivated and to the original TimbukTOO organizers.

Urgh! You've been our Elder Statesman, perhaps even our Ancient Ancestor, for a few years. While we usually keep Humans off the team when we can help it, we made an exception for you, mainly because you were grandfathered in, so to speak.
You kept us - me very much included - inspired & we would most certainly love to have you ski with us. You already have "pull" with us & we won't hold your being vertical against you.

Freddie, so sorry to hear you're going to be de-ergged! Best wishes in your road to knee recovery and healthy pursuits.
