Wot he said!
Please keep your heads down and stay safe if you are near Irene.

As for Chris and Ron, Congratulations!!! This is one jealous lunatic here in Oz.
I've been trying to retire for the last 10 years at least, however that damnable mortgage won't let me!

P.S. For those that care about that other sport called Rugby... Go the Wallabies!!
Now I just need Mark Webber to come good at Spa, and it will be the perfect weekend!

Cheers,
Dave

I am having trouble getting back on the team. Virus or something deleted me and Benny and Gabby. Can't seem to rejoin
Rosi

Rosi -

While you're in your logbook, go to the profile section, and click on edit profile. Scroll down and check that you have the Show Name In Honor Boars and listings button highlighted. If that isn't highlighted, then you won't show up on any teams or honor boards. I haven't heard back from Concept2 yet, but thought it would be good to look through to see if there were any settings that would make it impossible for someone to join a team. That's the only one that I can see that might influence it !
If that doesn't work, contact rankings@concept2.com and ask them to help you get added (and Benny and Gabby, too! of course).

In the meantime, we hope you are playing great soccer and rowing strong.

And, since we have some new team members, here's a quick explanation of our "unique to the Luna-Tics team" distance awards - which are clearly just for fun (and motivation):

a supernova designates that the individual has rowed the equivalent of 100,000 m in a 24 hr period (yep....we have one who does this)
a red giant designates that the individual has rowed the equivalent or more of 50,000 m in a 24 hr period
a full moon designates that the individual has rowed the equivalent or more of a full marathon 42,195 m in a 24 hr period
a half moon designates that the individual has rowed the equivalent or more of a half marathon 21,097 m in a 24 hr period
half or full marathons are completed in one sitting

Today's the last day..

Speed posting for this morning, so I'll get right to the stats. Might miss a few milestones, so feel free to call them out if you see them!

Season meters as of 120/365 = 33,135,324 m (at some time today, we will hit 33,333,333 m ! what a milestone!)

Next on the Concept2 Challenge Docket is....

... Row with us !

Maybe it's just a coincidence....but it SEEMS like there have been more geese flying overhead these days ! Could it be....could it be...Fall is just around the corner?! So far, we have 69 new and returning Challenge Team members on the roster! If this is your first team challenge, hooboy! You are in for a treat ! I love this graph of previous challenges....so I show it often when we're getting ready for what we call "the Challenge season." Never fear, it will be updated to include additional numbers from the 2011 rowing season...

[shartm2792]

I'm in! ready to row.

welcome and welcome back everyone....and thanks for all the graphs k2....

[enrage]

i need a few days of rest. pulled my lower back pushing a broom on saturday. LOL
my shuffle board technique with the push broom was probably not the right technique.

my 13k row in Sunday helped loosen up my back and i probably wouldn't of even rowed if it wasn't for the challenge.
