LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

[bg]

Hello Fellow Loonies! My hubby came across this beautiful shot of Saturn with four moons visible. I had to share it with my teammates. I posted the link below if you want to check out other photos from the Hubbel Space Telescope.

We've rowed closer to the moon in the last 15 days, and looking back we can see planet Earth....cool stuff! And thanks to Karyn for sharing some other space views of planet Saturn...might visit that on a future space journey!

Yesterday the WRC Luna-Tics rowed at warp speed 4.5, with the crew of 72 churning out 455,451 m! We are ranked 8th overall, and 5th in the virtual club category.

Thank you to all who are rowing with the Luna-Tics team! Your meter contributions (and all count!) are propelling us forward!

MIchael S - Four weeks from today I could stop and shake your hand as I pass through St Louis on the way to the Missouri Ozarks with canoe. But congratulations are due today. So

CONGRATULATIONS on a million meters for the season Michael! Good Rowing!

[Kona2]

I believe Moose has just notified us that he is eagerly anticipating open water canoe season.......

[nl07695]

I was planning to do my regular workday workout of 10k until I noticed the numbers on my logcard..... I had to do those additional 3 meters... I HAD TO....

It now looks nicely

Peter Huurman's Logbook 3,456,789m

Excellent! You know we watch for number sequences - and that is a special one! Of course, you know that now we will want to see the next full number sequence some day.. 23,456,789......

Good job everyone! I'll do a wrap on March Madness tomorrow!

[caspooner]

Great job team! Outstanding accomplishment Bill! Truly inspiring. Keep it going and enjoy it!

My meters reported are yesterday's and early this morning. Due to travels the next few days and in order to have a successful March, I had to row early this morning. Sorry to slack off...I'll be back. I'll just have to work harder to catch the rowers I am chasing.

[Kona2]

Woohoo! Just looked at the WRC rankings (thinking that the Fitness group is going to update any moment now), and wowzer folks! It takes 290K to be in the top 100 and we have SIX Luna-Tic crew members in that bunch! You are rowing with the big dogs now! And I couldn't help but notice that Michael S has 337,337 m....must be the day for sequences! Good job everyone!

Michael S ,,

Nice bit of rowing and ciphering to come up with those numbers. GREAT JOB!

[Kona2]

Welcome new WRC teammates! Glad to have you join us! Each 3,840,000 m we row is one percent of the way to the moon!


The last few days of March Madness propelled us along at a very nice clip! Yesterday we collectively rowed 475,196 m as we brought March to a close - hope you met your personal goals for the challenge!

Thank you for rowing with the Luna-Tics in this challenge! All meters count, whether mega meters or whatever you have time to do on a given day! If you've gotten into the swing of things with the March Madness Challenge, you're in good shape to keep on rowing!

We're in 8th place overall, and as the large teams update their meters, rankings can change significantly in a single update.
