Sad to say, Walter & Jerry rowed too close to the end of the Earth, and have fallen off. Hopefully, using the fitness they acquired with TimbukTOO, they will be able to vanquish the fire-breathing Sea Serpent that lives there, and be able to climb back onto terra firma! 8 of our 27 worried members (30%) logged 91,184 total meters Sunday!

Milestones achieved: David W fried 400K!!! Matthew R sizzled 150K, Joseph W boiled 150K, Gary G roasted 35K while Fred B baked 15K!!

David W - 25,042 Scared away all the competition!

I sure hope not, good thing i didn't mention a goal of mine is to do a 100,000 meters in one sitting. It is pretty much the only thing on my bucket list.... it is a short list....

Seriously? Whoa. How long do you calculate that would take you? Even at a good pace that would take me over 8 hours!!

If you want to go by the book, here's the official 110K training program:

Here's a bit of what it looks like:

Milestones achieved: David W fried 400K!!! Matthew R sizzled 150K, Joseph W boiled 150K, Gary G roasted 35K while Fred B baked 15K!!

Welcome back for the new season, Glen B!! How's that knee doing?

I think it was Gary's kid saying "Chow" (or something like that)!

Important knee tip I saw: If you have any knee problems, lift the front of your C2 a bit until the seat no longer slides forward by itself!

[damselfly]

Lisa H - 6,000 Lisa’s Erg/Trail Mix?

I've been doing a few ks as a warm up before some runs, and as warm-up and finish for the weight training videos I do. Getting some more meters in...

Bummer about your marathon attempt! Do you have a second "launch window"?
