Hi David

I do 6 workouts a week!

Between 5 and 10k a piece

that's about 30/60 k a week

normally I would do 35k or so,
but I hope to more with this sort of challenge!

Are you in??

Tyn,
I am at about 828,000 towards my next million, and there are a lot of holidays in the next couple of weeks. So I have a little farther to go, and am not allowed to row on the holidays, but I will give a try.

OK, yesterday I had 132710m to go to my next (erging) million, so that bid of motivation will do no harm.
I bet a Gouda cheese against a queso manchego that I finish tose 141,501 meters before you. :twisted:

So, please note 12621m (ote) for me yesterday, that is 12621 m total B)

I'm now at 4,870,000m,
I did 11.501 today, so only 130.000 to go!

How many meters did you row Ancho?
Today that is.


So I think

Tyn 11.501
Ancho 0

Do you agree?

Say CHEESE!

I don't work at home, that means I don't row at work (as do others...) :wink:

You know I'm a late night rower, so wait!
Today WP L1 4*1k :twisted:
0 for today (until now), so still 141501 to go!

Bob: you have really strange surfing habits. :shock:
Great site, though! :D
Of course I also like tetilla cheese, and nearly any other kind of cheese (and of tetilla :wink: )

Ancho,

It didn't take much surfing. I have done three Compostela pilgrimages, so I am familiar with Galicia and its products, including the quesos y tartas. The discovery of the interesting cheese was a major topic of conversation among newly arrived pilgrims. I was tempted to attach the picture from that site instead of posting the URL, but I didn't know how to do it. Probably just as well that I didn't.

regards,

Bob S.
