Whoa! We skipped right over the celebration of 36 MM with the addition of two new year round teammates ....and are currrently at 37.5 MM or thereabouts. I updated our To The Moon graphic only five days ago, and in that time we have gained FOUR new year round teammates and have moved a full percentage point closer to the moon! Simply amazing! And we're not even halfway through the rowing year yet!



Season meters as of 144/365 = 37,481,700 m

Total meters on the day = 2,356,509 m (wowzer)

Dan with half marathon # 71 returns from Wisconsin bringing a spotted cow....

Excuse me
That is what you call a daughter -in-law in Denver

At what dairy farm are you raised girl?

[Kona2]

You knew!

Ok, I should have said a 6 pack of Spotted Cow......because if I'd said a case of spotted cow....could have been even more entertaining....

[Kiba]

I had a really long day, and I came home feeling really stressed out and tired. So... I hopped on my erg for a little unwind, and I fell asleep hehe. Then I had a dream where I was rowing on my erg at the bus stop at school, it was a really happy dream though, but still among my top ten weirdest erg experiences.

[Kona2]

Okay, better order a seatbelt Kiba - we thought weightlessness might be an issue on our trip to the moon, but clearly there are some things we did not think of....

The term Red Giant has taken on a different meaning in Sydney today....take a look these photos in the paper. We've had high winds overnight and this has brought a huge dust strom to Sydney of the sort rarely (never) seen....

Mind you, no red giant's from me..sorry Maybe it is Dave working up a storm.....

Cheers

Wow, Baz, that's some amazing stuff there. Hope it didn't hinder your rowing too much.
