TimbukTOO Team Room

[damselfly]

There is a website. I just was not sure about any policies concerning such things so I didn't post it.

I will have to find out the rules on that, until then I think I am safe giving people the info if it is in a PM form. So, if you want said info, please feel free to shoot me a PM on it

EDIT

Alright, I have gotten the ok to post the site. Http://www.mystjudeevent.org/mpatton Any help is appreciated of course though not required I am getting close to half way through my goal.

Coolness! Glad to help out. I hope you reach your goal, and your training and the event go well!

[MPatton]

Thanks, lisa!
You put me at the half way mark!

Now if only I were that close in my training lol.

Glen, this may be your month! I am laying here with a heating pad under my back.

Owww...sorry to hear about that. And no, I'll tell ya right now that I'm not going to put in anywhere near the meters this time. Ski season is finally getting in the way of my rowing, it's about time! Also I've changed the focus of my rowing from doing the LSD that lasts all day to shorter but much more intense pieces. All that means that the 30k+ workouts probably aren't going to happen for me this time (unless somebody shames me into...SQUIRREL!)

I've changed the focus of my rowing from doing the LSD that lasts all day to shorter but much more intense pieces.

Ditto for me. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I try to crank out fast times; Thursdays an Fridays are usually a longer, easier row, Saturdays are optional. Sundays are the day of rest.

It seems as if our intrepid Cap'n has been forced ashore before being able to post Thursday's numbers, so I'll post them tomorrow morning with Friday's numbers as well.
