TimbukTOO Team Room

First, thanks to Brotherjim for stepping up to the team captain role, and thanks to Pat for her tireless leadership this season (and in the past, though this is my first rowing season).

Second, if I had one wish for the new season, I'd love to see more rowers log in and toot their own horns to help take any perceived pressure off of the captain and to meet more folks.

Third, did you guys see they are adding an August challenge for the new season? Progressive weeks of increasing weekly totals... 20K, 30K, 40K, 50K. I think that sounds pretty cool and a good individual challenge (at least for the likes of me). That's 140K meters in 28 days and gets me phyched for a new challenge!

Karen,
Would your husband like to join the team for the season? I know he participates in the challenges. We could really use him.

I'll ask him... He's not much of a forum poster, but I'll play the "Your wife's team needs your meters" card!

Congrats to JD again, 4 half marathons!!!! If it were baseball, he has hit for the cycle.
Way to go JD.

Karen - great thoughts, all three! I second (third? fourth?) your praise for both Brotherjim and Pat. It really is great to have the praise, and also is a great reminder to add to the distance.

The August challenge sounds interesting, although (doh!) I just realized I'll be gone for two weeks then. Might have to try it in July.

Gotta go - need to get downstairs and row before it gets too late. I start my OTW class this weekend, unless thunderstorms stop us.
