So, unless I can find some place that has an erg I won't be able to do this one...<br />Good luck to everyone else that is giving it a go!<br /><br />-jason

Hello all - <br /><br />My name is Kimberly & I'm new to the team...just signed up & rowed my first part of the 200,000m Holiday Challenge. <br /><br />A little background....for the last 10 years I have done strength training, cycling, elliptical crosstrainer and inline skating. I have lost 200lbs and have 100 to go and am adding rowing to do something new & different and also to give my feet and knees a break. This last year I started doing inline skate marathons and while I really enjoy the challenge and am proud to have finished two races, that much weight is sooooo not feeling good on my feet. Next race isn't until March so I hope to lose another 35-50 pounds over the winter with consistent rowing. <br /><br />Today’s row felt great and I'm really looking forward to the next 4 weeks. I want that t-shirt!<br /><br />Kimberly<br />

Sorry - forgot to add my question to my previous post...<br /><br />Does anyone wear gloves, and if so what kind? Or will the soft spots on my palms toughen up after awhile?<br /><br />Any guidance is appreciated - <br />kg

Thank you both for the advice. Since I'm not planning any rows over 10,000m this month I think I'll skip the gloves for now and let my hands get adjusted. If things get bad, I appreciate the pad idea.<br /><br />kg

Hi Everybody! Count me in for 200K+!

[[old] Meri Goehring]

Hello RPRG,<br />I'm in. Contributed 10000 this AM. I need to take it easy, though, so can't commit to more than an average of 3000 per day. Thanks to the group for great motivation!<br />Meri

Howdy,<br /><br />Due to some personal issues I find being incognito preferable at this time.<br /><br />Best of luck to everyone, don’t quit rowing…I haven’t.<br /><br />Charles<br />
