Dance, dance, boogie!

[Kona2]

Somewhere in Utah, there is one happy canoeist..... Somewhere in Wisconsin.... prepares to get his son married off....Minnie, meanwhile, is practicing the latest dance steps since all that son getting married bit is finished up.....Bazzy is ordering new walking shoes since he's used up all the good steps in the ones worn for 240 km...and Wild Bill continues to race towards collecting another milestone or two or three.......and that's just a sampling of what's going on with this team! And we're still making great progress on our journey to the moon!

Season meters as of 140/365 = 33,656,240 m

Total meters on the day = 343,476 m

Dave with his third consecutive half marathon brings in # 31 (some sort of pattern here...)
And Minnie with half marathon # 93 is always taking movie suggestions

[Kona2]

Yep, the challenge is definitely ON ! RowPro is making a pretty good push to close the gap between their current fourth place and our current third place. We'll see what happens over the course of the weekend!

Congrats to Kiba and Bart for achieving 100,000 m mark in the Fall Challenge - and joining the Wills already there (Wild Bill and Will S). Forgot to ask - when you cross the 100K milestone, do you get a link to the certificate then?

This is a great time to add an extra fifteen minutes of rowing into your day - if you can do so. Row what you have time for - the challenge is still young! It's the last two weeks that will get seriously competitive. If you're shopping for a team to join, we'd like to have you consider us! Of course, we'd like it even better if you joined our year round team, too!

Hooyah, Luna-Tics! To The Moon!

[Kona2]

Wowzer -- good job, Dave H! You've joined the 100K plus ranks in the Fall Rowing Challenge!

[Kona2]

Wild Bill has crossed into previously uncharted territory (there be monsters here) with his 200K milestone. The team is very close to the 2 MM mark! Woohoo! The weekend's here - we can bank some extra meters! Yikes...so can every other team.

Total meters yesterday = 403,645 m
Daily meters needed to stay on 10 MM pace = 334,000 m
Meters needed to cover one percent of the distance to the moon = 3.84 MM

Great rowing by all !

Congrats to Kiba and Bart for achieving 100,000 m mark in the Fall Challenge - and joining the Wills already there (Wild Bill and Will S). Forgot to ask - when you cross the 100K milestone, do you get a link to the certificate then?

No link for me yet ...

[Kona2]

RE: The Challenge Certificate - looks like this is provided at the end of the challenge - so date driven vs numbers!

And the team rowed onward! Two red giants in the sky over our rowing universe today - with a trio of half moons! The year round team received a boost of 27 percent from the FRC challenge team members in posting yesterday's 403,645 challenge meters! Fuel runs a little richer when we have some help!

Season meters as of 141/365 = 33,949,535 m

Total meters on the day = 293,295 m

Oars in space = 35 percent

MILESTONES...Bragging Rights...Celebrations:

2.3 MM Chris
2.1 MM Kiba
1.2 MM Ted

10K Orion

Wild Bill with red giant # 6
Kiba with red giant # 9

[William H]

And thanks to all the crew for every single meter:

Will S 1,431 m (maybe you hit a milestone?)

My guess:

Will's season metres = 1,616,481

Add the numbers together and they equal ... 27

Cool, eh?

ROWSTRONG

[just27]

My guess: Will's season metres = 1,616,481
Add the numbers together and they equal ... 27 Cool, eh? ROWSTRONG

Way cool!

[Kiba]

Definitely cool

p.s. I don't have a clue how you managed to notice that one

[Calamity]

OK, so I did not have a picture of the pirate on the moon, but do have a link to Pink's We've got scurvy in honor of talk like a pirate day. It might even stick in your head like the All the Ducks are Swimming in the Water song Chris posted last year.

[Kona2]

Woohoo! We have some new year round teammates - a Luna-Tic welcome to Anne and Gail! Good job Kaptn Kristine for recruiting some of our Fall Challenge Teammates to be part of the year round team. You have, of course, fallen in with a band of pirates (since today is international talk like a pirate day). Ever since Orion brought the talk like a pirate day to our attention, we have enthusiastically participated in this ritual. And, Calamity, I did have one moonshot of a pirate from last season....so here you go!

To the moon, mates, to the moon! The pirate booty is buried there ... or so the legend of Peggy Pirate goes....

[Kona2]

Congratulations Barbara and Peter H for achieving 100K milestones in the challenge!

Total meters on the day = 525,973 m! WOW!

Hi all - I've captured the numbers from this morning - and wowzer there are a LOT of milestones! I'll have to do the report out much later today since I am hosting the Bike Jeffco booth at the Sheriff's Safety Fair all day today.

[Wilbury]

I have to say, as day 6 of the FRC rolls around, my workputs are becoming more like, well, work. But then, I log on to the Forum, and see the crew giving it all, reaching new goals and heights. It is inspiring. A great effort by all hands. I can't wait for tomorrow!!!
