TimbukTOO Team Room

[damselfly]

Let the games begin!! And check out the leaderboard... Someone already has a gold medal; having rowed 30 hours in the first (less than) 24 hours of the challenge!! I guess his erg doubles as a time machine!!

Oddly enough he is a Vermonter, must be a native...we can get more done in a day than most.
City folks and their fancy arithmetic

Ha!! We west-coasters are too laid-back, dude.

And TimBukTOO is on the board!! Way to row, David!!! The middle of the country whipped both us coasts!


P.S. There are smiley police. Who knew. My first post was rejected with the following message:

Now what the hell purpose does THAT serve?!?! What's next? The "interrobang" police?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Ron M - 3,000 Back after a short break!

That was a test row to see how my ankle would hold out - feels better but not back to normal by any stretch.

Did you try to rub some dirt on it?

Rob M - 6,059 Welcome back!

Thanks! This is the first week I'm trying to weave rowing into my half marathon (running) training. It may not be pretty but I have to start somewhere! I'm hoping to start out with 3 rows per week (they will have to be short 30-minute rows, unfortunately) and go from there! Wish me luck.

Molderin' Medals, Batman!!

We now have four Tooians on the medal board for the RowLympics -- David, Keith, Kyle, and Jerry!! Nice rowing, men!!

I'm really amazed at some of the times people seem to row. The current leader has over 56 hours... Holy cow.

Lisa H - 11,467 Back to full strength?

Not entirely, but much improved, thanks! I have good days and bad -- more good than bad. Monday had a nice run and felt pretty good, but today's run was abysmal. Who knows. Rowing times are getting back to reasonable, but still need improvement.

My mom always tells that to the sports guys on TV when someone gets injured!
