Hi, everyone! I'm excited about rowing with you all for the remainder of the season! Some of you guys are real workhorses, so I know I've got my work cut out for me to contribute to this team! My goal is 100K per month... for now. When I hit that in February, then I'll trust myself to set my sights a little higher.
Pat, thanks so much for leading us through the January Challenge, and double thanks for setting up this boat! I look forward to stepping up to the special challenges with the Timbuk2 crew! Best of luck with the rest of your season!
Enjoy the Super Bowl!

Hey guys! I too have joined TIMBUKTOO! I had a great time during the January Challenge. Like Barb above, my goal is usually 100K/month. I did 111K in January. I try to row 4 days/week, but during the challenge, I did 5 days/week, which proved to me that I can do it in spite of my busy schedule. I'm doing my first erg competition this Sunday- it's the Erg Armageddon at Bucknell. Since I'm entered in the master's division, my race distance is only 1000 m. My previous best time was 4:02.7, but I rowed a 1000m piece yesterday in 3:56.8! I'm psyched! Thanks for all the motivation from my wonderful Timbuk2 teammates! I've been training hard and it's paying off! You guys rock!

Pat, your posts are incredible- they are so frequent and so fun to read- thanks so much for all your efforts!

That's awesome, Cindy! Congrats on your new PR, and good luck at your race!! I'm glad I know 100k is do-able this month! I got in another 5k tonight; although I wasn't that motivated, I'm glad I sucked it up and did it. It's fun to row while watching American Gladiators

Gets you in the fitness mood...
What do you all row to?
Go TIMBUKTOO!

I have a flat screen TV on my gym wall directly in front of my rower.So it depends on what time of day I row.I am a TV Land "nut" so many times it is an oldie but goodie TV show.Saturdays it is Fit TV.I had a very harrowing day today..no row:-(.Sorry team.Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Zachary is my 12 year old son. He saw me rowing every day that I was home during our Jan challenge. He wants to start rowing so we signed him up. I hope that this was OK? I don't think he will put up any monster numbers but he is having fun!
I want to thank you for you leadership and encouragement last month. When i joined I was hoping to do 100K - my best month was less than 70K but I did 200K in Jan I don't think I could have done it without the encouragement - so thanks and happy rowing!

Have a great day!!!
