Agreed, John that is a fantastic total!

I feel as if I am busting a gut and I haven't even covered half of your metres yet!

Go team go! Now we've got 23 people who have rowed 100,000m or more, and another 4 who have 10,000m or less to hit that also!

Now it is 24 people over 100,000 and several more close to that. And John and Robert are well over 300,000 meters, woo hoo. John is very close to 400,000. Let's all make a big finish to this challenge.

30 rowers over the 100k mark, yes that is fantastic. We have 7 more rowing days, can we move up? Every teammate is doing a great job and evry meter counts.

John is a sneeze away from 400,000! We're all holding steady at 12th overall, and 8th for virtual clubs. 31 have now done over 100,000, with another - Vyv James, a sneeze away from 100,000! Last week, keep pulling!

BTW, I WILL (that's a promise) hit 300,000 for the season this week (and really have only been rowing since the Holiday Challenge) and should hit a lifetime of 500,000 also by the end of the week.

Being new to this I've simply followed our progress in the challenge standings, once that is over how do I see how much other teammates are rowing?

You are doing an incredible job Margaret. Glad you are on board with us.
Chile, just go to your logbook page and on the left side, there is an Affiliation standings link. Click on it and go to Timbuktoo. We are currently in 11th place overall for the year. When our beloved Captain Pat gets her computer fixed, she posts a daily meters rowed for each and every teammate. Also some inspiring and witty thoughts to keep us rowing.

Arh okay, thanks for that.

I thought for a minute the team had disbanded!
