LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

And of course TomO lines up for Rugby tomorrow, inside centre, he’s like a little bulldog in the back-line, barking out the play, and nipping at the heels of the opposition (Yeah – we’re proud of him!)

Cheers, BBB

Go, TomO! I'll bet he's speedy....

and a go tomo from me too......

Kona - Fibonacci. I know you love numbers.

I love the Fibonacci sequence, part of the the golden number. Awesome post! Supposedly all things created have this ratio

Leonardo Fibonacci discovered the series which converges on phi
In the 12th century, Leonardo Fibonacci discovered a simple numerical series that is the foundation for an incredible mathematical relationship behind phi.

Starting with 0 and 1, each new number in the series is simply the sum of the two before it.

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, . . .

Rats - I knew about this ! I sure wasn't thinking numerically... obviously I am not the only numbers person! Good deal!

Wow! 18 days into the new rowing season, and many have already tallied up an amazing number of meters. Several teammates are charging hard out of the starting gate - must be some big goals this year! It's not too late to get started on the goals that you're visualizing! Sometimes our goals are subliminal....

Season meters as of 18/365 = 7,570,220 m

Total meters on the day = 300,919 m

Oars in space (participation) = 38 percent

I loathe the backspace key that DELETES my entire (and very colorful) post during the preview of the final post segment. Loathe I tell you! (Note to self: instead of previewing the post, just go back and edit if needed).

I'll Have Another wins again...the second leg of the Triple Crown. A wise man (and teammate) told me that the best horse doesn't always win the race. There is something about this horse that makes me a fan. Maybe it's the underdog role that I'll Have Another has played in the last two races. I seriously think that this horse and its jockey didn't believe that they weren't supposed to win...and so it happened. We already know that I'll Have Another likes Roses (Derby garlands are Roses), and Black-Eyed Susans (Preakness garlands are Black-eyed Susans)...we'll see if Carnations are appealing (Belmont garlands are Carnations). Fun stuff.

Meanwhile, we have an opportunity REALLY soon to hit a milestone full of number eights. We are very close to 8,888,888 m ... although Marie has already started celebrating that milestone with her posting today of 6,888 m. Sam and Cathie decided to do dual half marathons...woohoo! And very cool, too.

Season meters as of 19/365 = 8,088,662 m

love all the tidbits that you add to day's ergs....

[kgallagher]

Just want to give you a heads up on my weird erg numbers. My coach asked for a 1k time trial piece. I did one the other day, but that was after rowing in the morning and working out on an elliptical machine at the gym for a 1/2 hour. I thought I could do better, so I did another today (plus a 10 min. warm up and 5 min. cool down).

When I ended my piece on Thurs. at the gym I told myself, "That's for you One-a-day-Rae". I hadn't dedicated a piece to her in awhile.

Others are my inspiration. Thank you to all my Lunatic (and O.D.) friends old, new, and no longer with us. You do keep me motivated and inspire me to challenge myself.

Thank you, Karyn, that made my heart glad. The thought of my 80-something year old mom, sitting down to row her "1K a day" ... they all added up! Good memories.

Yogi it is for awhile I saw where he had recently celebrated his 87th bday.
Soon my favorite ballplayer of all time, Ron Santo will be posthumously (sp) inducted into the Hall of Fame. Very late, he deserved it decades ago.
Anyway- did something not too bright this morning. Rowed with 2 sweatshirts and sweatpants on. I never even wear long pants, even to church So needless to say, I overheated , lost a few pounds though. Will not do that again.
Not sure if I will do my walk today for Active Heroes. Have 20 miles in for Sat. and Sun. May 31 is the last day. Thanks to all who donated, not sure if I thanked you all on the website.
Go Luna-tics, what a great start to this season.

Jim what are you tring to do make weight for a featherweight fight?

[brotherjim]

Thanks Richard, wish I was at Featherweight limit. Been on an ice cream binge, maybe due to the fact grandkids have been staying overnight for a week. Have to eat with them and then eat when they go to bed.
Funny story- Brayden, Allie, and I had watched a Bigfoot movie on TV and then we were getting ready for Ashlee's Girl Scout graduation. I took a quick shower and puy my dress shorts on. Went to look for a nice shirt and Brayden saw me shirtless. He said "Gramps, you are hairy all over like a Bigfoot. Are you part Bigfoot? " Couldn't stop laughing all day.

That's okay, Peter H! You were watching the numbers, too! Sometimes you have to act quickly when you start copying the numbers and realize that we are only 949 m away from 8,888,888 ...row 'em and enter them in the logbook...and take the picture..
