Still aiming for a total of 8MM by the end of the year, not sure if I'll be able to get there or not, but I'm going to try.

My goal for the season is also 8MM - and I borrowed your signature ticker idea to show progress.

It may look like I'm almost there, but I will miss a lot of time before the end of the season.

So ... race you to 8MM - loser buys the cupcakes?

[Kona2]

My goal for the season is also 8MM .....

It may look like I'm almost there, but I will miss a lot of time before the end of the season.

So....with half the rowing season to go....and you're at 6 MM meters....perhaps you are indeed planning on missing four months of rowing?! This might be a clever decoy.....

Last year at this time Wild Bill's meter total was about 850K.....my how things have changed! You've had a great rowing year, William H!

Thanks!

The past year has really surpassed all my expectations - I could not even dream of the goals I have set and acheived thanks to the team's motivation.

Yes, one of the benefits (downsides?) of being a lot more fit this year is that I have a lot more opportunity to work - which means a lot more time away from the Erg

For the time being, however, I'm in the moment and life is good!

Thanks, Team!

Hi Kiba,

Can I place an order for a 5MM cupcake? I'm starving right now! I reached my 5MM lifetime right off the plane from our (well deserved) vacation. I must admit it's not a way to fight jet lag.

I would love to join you in your personal November challenge, but only till half way. Good Luck !!

congrats on the 5 million.....and baz...your day of cheering on he kids sounds great....
