Congratulations BAZ on 2 Million Meters for the Season! Way to Row!

Kona2 - I failed to enter yesterdays meters. I'll blame it on the epoxy work I was doing on 3 new canoe paddles I'm building... or maybe the fumes caused an all day type Senior Moment.... Regardless, the result will be a doubling up on meters showing tomorrow.

[Toothdoc]

Wild Bill,

You only have 3 more people to pass and you'll be on the 1st page of 10,000 meters per day Annual Honor Board. Come on you can do it. Some advice, next year get on that board on day one. It is easier to stay up there than to climb the mountain. Great rowing this year.

Thanks for the kind words, dc

Yeah, starting in July is not the best strategy for climbing to the top of the boards - and back then, 6,000 meters was a big day for me

Next season will be a record breaker

[Kona2]

This season is a record breaker for almost everyone! And if we can eclipse the total of all the previous meters 2003-2008, then it will be a new record for the team!


Come on and row just a few more million by end of April! We can do it! The number to beat is 87,577,930 m! Well, maybe we can get most of the way there!

[Kona2]

Thank you for making time for rowing in your day! The team rowed 382,134 m yesterday! Whether you row 1K or 30K, all your meters are important to us! Many of us find that as a team member in a challenge, we row more than we did when we were rowing as individuals - this is a great time to get a good foundation for starting the 2010 rowing year !

We're stellar in 8th place overall ! Some of the large teams posted updates yesterday and have moved up in the rankings....

Way to Row, Baz!

Wild Bill,

You only have 3 more people to pass and you'll be on the 1st page of 10,000 meters per day Annual Honor Board. Come on you can do it. Some advice, next year get on that board on day one. It is easier to stay up there than to climb the mountain. Great rowing this year.

dc

Thanks for the kind words, dc

Yeah, starting in July is not the best strategy for climbing to the top of the boards - and back then, 6,000 meters was a big day for me

Next season will be a record breaker

Um, Wild Bill...I think you need your Record Breaker Goggles adjusted...in fact, maybe yours are totally broken, and you need a new pair. If this year has been shooting from the hip, then I am afraid of what your taking careful aim is going to look like. Yowzer!

Well ...

Goals for the remainder of this season (2008-2009):

- 7 MM Lifetime (not there yet, but on track)
- 5 MM Season (not there yet, but on track)
- 1 MM WRC (not there yet, but on track)
- 1st page ranking on 10,000 Meters Or More per Day Annual Meters Board (I'll be there by the end of the day today - and will stay there until the end of the season)

Goals for next season (2009-2010):

- 15 MM Lifetime
- 8 MM Season
- 1st page ranking on 10,000 Meters Or More per Day Annual Meters Board every day of the season

With a lot of help from my fellow Luna-Tics, we can make it all happen.

Stay tuned as we check them off one by one
