Ray..you can see the individual meters rowed by going to Team Standings and under the main heading..click on "individuals" and all the individual stats are there..and click on the headings at the top and they become listed by team or alphabetical etc.Hope this helps..

Thanks for pointing me to the individual meters. There are some monsters out there.

I wonder if they have day jobs!
Mike
ps: I had to take the day off yesterday...feeling a bit fatigued after rowing 7 straight days or so...felt good to get back on the erg today though

[HiAltRowgal]

I have a love-hate relationship with my machine, Ray! Days off do wonders for my bones, though, especially the old hip!

Rockies have done well this week (sorry Brewers fans) and have clinched a playoff spot. Sure wish we lived closer to the BIG CITY sometimes so we could attend more games in person. TV baseball (yawn) just doesn't do it for me!

Pat, our football team plays Florida Atlantic on Saturday. We've been improving each week but are untested with Florida teams so who knows how it will go. Do you know anything about FA? Football is such a big deal in Florida and Texas; it's hard to compete!

Taking a day off is very helpful in regaining rowing power and "mental" health All exercise programs call for days of rest to allow the muscles to recover adequately.The muscle fibers can break down without rest.Muscles actually grow when we rest.
So taking time off is a GOOD thing.


Our team is remarkable.There are 62 listed as team members but only 50 of us have our virtual oars in the waters.
The fact that our team has remained consistent in position..varying ever so slightly speaks volumes about the strength, spirit and support that TIMBUK2 is known for.

There is no need to row beyond our physical capabilites to achieve a winning rank.Each of us have goals and they all work together synergistically.That is what team work is all about.There is healthy competition among our mates here..that gives us the ultimate in motivation.So..row as your goals and health allow..where there is injury..another rower takes the lead.Rest & recover!!!Row for the health of it and enjoy the ride!!!

Sorry..no.I don't know much about Football.My husband is a huge football fan...he has tried to teach me the game and I sat thru 4 years of high school football as front row trombone player in the Marching band and pep band.I never got it then and I still am clueless
I even had a great book for wives on the game and my dog ate it.Guess it wasn't in the cards for me to learn
I watch and look interested.
I originated in the land of the Cincy Bengals and they have been a disappointment for a long time.Winning this year though.
So Florida FB is not on my list of things I know.
I would much rather do the beach thing..

Even though I know this, I have such a hard time with it. It may be today though, because Friday is housecleaning day (which I just finished), and now I have to settle down and do my (job) work, and I have a commitment out this evening. So, maybe no meters for me today.

But it's tough when that erg is just sitting in the other room, calling me, and other folks are out there rowing away........

Obsessed? Who, me?

Obsessed...no way...preoccupied perhaps, but definitely NOT obsesed.

I think it would be a great idea for you to take a day off and just relax, perhaps some nice 2005 Sonoma Cab for you?! yeah, that's the ticket, and I promise you'll feel GREAT.

Now, I can't stay and chat, I have this errr, thing I have to get to, ahhhh, yeah that's it, no worries...now where did I put those rowing gloves...I mean I have to go out and do some yard work, with the gloves ya know...sure, YOU take a rest...lemme see those standings again...

LOL!!!

Mike, you're too funny! That made my afternoon!

Don't you have some teeth to drill or something?

Nope, its a no teeth day today...just got in from powerwashing the deck. The good news is that I got to scratch off one item from my "honey-do" list, only problem is when I got to the list to scratch that item off I noticed my honey had added two more!!!!

What's with that???
