Congratulations to Jeff for reaching 750K season meters

Since Brother Jim is constitutionally incapable of tooting his own horn, I will do it for him. He has over 4.7 million meters, and most likely will hit 5M by the end of November. He's still #9 in the WORLD for erg meters this year (averaging 23,367 a day!)
COUNTDOWN: 12 days and 279,773 meters to go to 5MM. Jim needs to average 23,314 a day to hit it before November ends!

brotherjim,
Thanks for the recognition!
...and thanks for all the work you do keeping us up to speed and motivating us on a daily (sometimes daily+) basis. It is a lot of work to keep track of all the numbers, milestones & such, and I just wanted to give you a tip of my hat for your efforts.
~Jeff

Greetings team!
I just joined the team and signed up for the next challenge. I've been rowing with the Black Warrior Rowing Club http://www.blackwarriorrowingclub.com/ since it's inception in the summer of 2008. Erging on the Concept 2 became a constant part of my life training for the fall head races in 2009. The 2009 winter challenge really sucked me in. I try to get at least 5 workouts a week in at the local "Y". I hit my one million meter mark last week!
Just wanted too get an introduction in....GO TEAM!!!!

Just a note to clear up a few things...

There seems to be a be team that has been formed and sort of took over the old Team Timbuk2 team page for challenges.It says I am the captain..NOT true.. .I tried to get the team deleted but it just never went away.It is called Second Wind.I am NOT on that team.My heart and soul is with TimbukTOO.Maybe not always my "rear"....LOL.I have not been on my erg all that much but the Izzmeister is seeing to it that I get my rear in gear..
So disregard any thoughts of my jumping ship..

I am a TimbukTOO-ian thru and thru..

Pat

Pat, you are the #1 TimbukTooian and always will be. Izzz is motivating me too.
Welcome Jamie to our challenge team and affiliation team!!!! Glad to have new members. And remember, just row what you can, when you can, and how much you can. There is never any pressure here, just try and motivate health wise a bit since I am such a mess.
We seem to have some elite athletes on TimbukTOO. I noticed Cathie is first in her age/weight for HM time. Ray is way up there in the 10K and FM. And of course Izzzz is among the leaders in most of the rankings. If there are more, please let me know as I haven't gone through the entire list.
Have a great day.

Woo-Hoo!!!!!!! IZZZ..

[Izzzmeister]

Jim, according to my braniac calculations, did 25,610 meters. (That means he not only watched the movie, he watched some of the extras too... LOL)
COUNTDOWN: 11 days and 254,123 meters to go to 5MM. Jim needs to average 23,102 a day to hit 5MM before November ends!

Pat said: "I tried to get the team deleted but it just never went away.It is called Second Wind."
Didn't your mother ever tell you it's not polite to break Wind in public?

My HM was "long and steady" (L3), an endurance piece and not a speed piece. I held my heart rate at 120 throughout, which meant 1:56/500m at the beginning, but 2:08.2 by the end. I finished in just over 1:27:17. My tank must've been low (I'd done a HM 3 days before, and a PB hour the night before), because I hit the wall with about 1K to go, and I've been tired the whole day today.
Pat, glad you're getting back on the rower steadily, but not pushing it. My heroine!
IZZ-MAZZ? As Clinton would say, it depends on what your definition of Izz is...

Hey, BAZzy, ready to jump yet? Give up those moon rocks....
