I added another 13332m tonight and ended with: 259,494m and $8.38.

Gym isn't open at a convenient time tomorrow so probably can't add any more to that.

Finished @ 202,686. Much more of a chore this year. I may be hitting that age where I can't laze around for 8 months and then pick up in November where I left off in the spring.

Congratulations to all.

Uh oh. What age is that? It worked at 43. Maybe I'd better keep erging this year, in case 44's the cutoff.

I'm ..... errrr ....... 45.

Seems like I've been carping about my decline for years, but the situation doesn't seem to get any better

Oh, crap, I'm right on the edge!

All kidding aside, it is a good reminder that I really do need to carry my fitness efforts throughout the year, rather than pack them in between Thanksgiving and Maibock season.

Sounds like a fine New Year's resolution to me. I don't plan on going crazy or anything... but 1.5 million meters sounds like a workable goal for next season. We'll see where I'm at when the next holiday challenge starts, eh? Nowhere to go but up, from the 0m I started with this year.

Happy holidays, everybody!

Started well and hit 100K well before the middle of the Challenge - but then lost power in the ice storm for 9 days. Got a generator on day four but it was not powerful enough to run the well pump and the furnace so with no hot shower available I put erging on hold or risked being driven from the house. Ended up with only 121K. First time I've not done the 200K. Also put my CRASH B program way back.

Nice, harley1! Now that you're done with one challenge, why not keep rolling? We'd love to have you on Team MOTO (click) for the January Virtual Team Challenge. The team has always been heavily weighted toward those crazy motocross types, so we could definitely use another roadie to balance things out.

i just signed up,i will do my best.i will need to make up for some lost time this coming weekend,going to be out of town for a day or two,and finalizing the paperwork on my new 2009 black ultra.

ann,i just logged 7511 for our team,but it is not registering in the jan.challenge,it still shows we are at 0 metres. am i doing something wrong?

Ducatista · Post by **Ducatista** » January 2nd, 2009, 12:41 am

Nope, you're in! I didn't post up my meters until late this evening, and by then you were showing up on the board.

Let the games begin!

Ducatista · Post by **Ducatista** » January 2nd, 2009, 1:00 pm

Hey harley1,

Did you choose to "Leave This Challenge," as the C2 Teams page puts it?

I saw your meters last night and earlier this morning on the Team Profile page and on my Manager's page, but now they're gone.

I hope you're still with us, and that this is just a site glitch! I'll email C2 to see what's what.

Cheers,
Ann
