May all be calm in your rowing universe....

Well, by now we're all pretty familiar with those original eight reindeer:

"More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and call'd them by name:
"Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer, and Vixen!
"On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen!"

And we've certainly heard of Rudolph (seen leading the sleigh on the Holiday Challenge team), but are you familiar with Lightning, Fireball, Chet, Robbie....and Olive? We're going to need some extra names because we've got 35 reindeer on this team ready to fly! Great rowing by all who are making time to fit in meters during this challenge!

Season meters as of 231/365 = 68,788,670 m

Total meters on the day = 374,649 m

Oars in space (participation) = 32 percent

Gina - Congratulations on achieving One Million Meters for this Rowing Season! Way to Row!

Jane - If your crew is committed to rowing throughout today, We Could Overtake the Ancient Ones by Dark!

Kona2 · Post by **Kona2** » December 18th, 2009, 3:55 pm

Gotta hand it to the Ancients.....it's taking more than 2 Luna-Tics per Ancient to even come close to catching up with them! And Jane may have discovered an advantage - all four kids can fit on the rower - sort of a rowing peloton. They will have to take turns to see who "drives" and who is the caboose unwrapping the power bars...

Congratulations Gina and Ben!!

Perfect weather fror rowing in Syd-a-ney today......I'll have to see if I can encourage the young bloke up to the garage for a row. Tomo has started school holidays (2 months) so he has had a very social week........

Good weekend to all

congrats Gina, Ben and Rick for all their hard work
Also, checked the team standing after rowing tonight. We are now in fourth place, moving 40,000 meters ahead of the ancient ones. (No I did not row that much tonight).
Hope our lead lasts until you all wake up to see it.

Rick - Congratulations on achieving One Million Meters for this Rowing Season! Great Rowing!

It is 6:15AM CST and the Luna-Tics are a mere 6,000 meters ahead of the Ancient Mariners. If we want to stay ahead today, we probably need to throttle up the ship into Warp Drive for a while..... Row Luna-Tics!

Wouldn't a bunch of Pirates like us be singing...........

Fawr Rawr Rawr Rawr Rawr! Rawr Rawr! Rawr! Rawr! ???
Or maybe I'm confusing with the scene from the Christmas Story. Gonna shoot your eye out!

Arrgh! Buckle up, mates! We're riding the high seas of piracy! And Moose is probably right about how we would sing!

The entire Concept2 Holiday Challenge Rowing Community currently has earned $18K of the $30K goal for the four foodie charities. There is still time to complete the challenge - we have SO MANY people who are SO close to completion! To the moon - and to the food! Row some extra meters if you're "done" with the challenge....I mean, really, are we ever "done?"
