Virtual Women's Team???

[[old] Bufflehead]

Thanks grams and pamcnm for the great ideas! Anybody out there with computer know-how? That sure isn't my area. I'm gonna paddle over and check out our team standings now!<br /><br />As far as my training goes, I'm still hoping to do a marathon. My trainer has me increasing my distance piece every other week by another 2K. This Sat. I'm scheduled for 25K. During the week I do one night of speed intervals and two nights of 10Ks. My "off" Sat. is 15K. That ought to keep me busy! Oh - did I mention? I lift two nights a week with one of those combined with cross training. Whew! <br /><br />Later,<br />Buffle

Yippee, Judy!! You've boosted the ducks to #80 in the standings. Note: You may have to log out and then back in to see new members who have joined since you logged on. <br /><br />Bufflehead: Judy is a speedy duck. What's that beautiful diver that drops from the sky like a rocket? I think that's Judy! <br /><br />

Please count me in too!<br /><br />I've only been erging for a couple of weeks but I'm completely addicted.<br /><br />I'm a 39 year old heavyweight living north of Seattle in Washington State. <br /><br />I love the name "ducks in a row" ... <br /><br />I just signed-up, and we are now at #79<br /><br />QUACK QUACK QUACK

Oh boy - the speedy diver duck. I'm gonna have to think about that one for a while! Welcome aboard everyone! I can't believe we've moved from #298 this morning to #80. Way to go ducks!<br /><br /><br />If I don't drag myself away from this computer, I'm never gonna get any work done! <br />This has suddenly become very addictive! I sure have more incentive to do my 10K tonight.

Wow, we're on a "row"ll now! Sorry, poor attempt at humor! <br /><br /><br />Ok, just curious, what do most of you average daily for meters? weekly? etc? Notice some of you are powerhouses cranking the meters out.

we're up to # 79 now!

Hi snappyrower and susan!<br /><br />Glad to have you! We are indeed moving up in the world!!<br /><br />I don't think I've ever tried to figure out what I row on the average. My previous post will give you an idea of where I am right now. I failed to mention about off time, though. For now, Sundays are my consistent off days. I also take Friday off if it falls before a long row session. That makes my weeks a little crazy for now. For instance, last night I had to do the lifting session at the gym and still had to come home and get my 10K row in. <br /><br />Now, mind you, I didn't start out like this. In Jan. of 04, I could barely manage ten minutes. I just kept at it, and then a half hour didn't seem too bad. Once I realized that there was a website, I really got the push to improve my distances. I like being able to compete in my age group. (Notice I didn't say speed!)<br /><br />Now that I have my own C2, the longer distances are easier to do. It was a killer spending all that time at the gym. Now I can at least turn on the TV and have a little distraction! Bottom line - we all have to start somewhere. <br /><br />Keep up the good work!<br />Bufflehead

How many of you compete in the indoor rowing competitions? I'd like to eventually although it might be a while before I'm comfortable doing that.<br />

HI all.<br />I'm a total newbie at this but I'm loving it. I just signed up for the ducks. This will really help with motivation, I think. I started erging on 1/27 and I did my first 6K last night. It felt great. I was worried about it but now I'm thinking that a 10K is really possible for me.<br />Rachel

OK. I'm a duck. <br />Cannot recall those sleek diving ducks we once saw rocketting around at Monteray Aquarium. Are those the speedy ones you were after? <br />Will consult my bird book and then choose a name. But first I have to go erg - or is that egg?<br />BTW, is the club name "ducks in a row" or "Ducks in a Row"? Or does it matter? I found in the list, and joined, the fomer (all lower case), but only found three members listed... If *case* matters, are we splitting ourselves up? <br />Just learning how to float on this website/forum... And is there a way to access the club rankings without going into one's profile?<br />Thanks ducks!<br />Quack,<br />Marisa<br />a row ma

Welcome to the newest ducks - seagulldc and arowma! <br /><br />I originally entered our name as Ducks in a Row, but I noticed that it changed to lower case. I sorted the teams alphabetically, and we aren't duplicating ourselves. So - I guess that means that case isn't important. (Maybe Harly knows the answer to that one.) I believe you have to log out and then back in again to see new members. I see eight names listed as of this post. And - we've moved up to #77! All in one day!<br /><br />Good job Ducks!

[LindaM]

If all 8 of us are there, case doesn't matter. Kewl!<br /><br />If you go to Logbook and click on the Summary stats link, you can view your meters by the week. This will help to answer snappy's question.<br /><br />It looks like I've averaged 38,435m per week so far this year, more during Challenges and bad weather weeks, less in the spring and summer when I'm doing more outside. <br /><br />- Harly (the pretty Harlequin .... duck)<br /><br />
