TimbukTOO Team Room

[damselfly]

I don't see our team listed for the Fall Challenge. Am I missing something?

You should be able to select TimBukTWO (that's our challenge team name, not TimBukTOO) from your Team Page. There is also a section below where you have to solemnly swear to participate in the Fall Team Challenge. After you handle both, you'll show up on the Team Roster.

We need more ladies to sign up for the Fall Challenge!! Come on, women of TimBukTOO!! I'm the only little "F" (female) in the whole team!

Andy I - 5,050 Fore!

What? Has Izz finally lost his last marble?

I am now curious how everyone else monitors their workout? What display do you tend to use on your PM3/PM4?

I use pace/500m too. Yeah, 2:05 for 500, 4:10 for 1000, 6:15 for 1500 but if I crank out 2:00 I can knock off the last 1500 in only 6:00 Put a bag over the moniter? Hmmmm.
I like the pace boat when I'm trying to beat a personal best, why? Because no poor excuse for a computer generated boat is going to beat me...ever.

What? Has Izz finally lost his last marble?

Izz is an awesome guy, but it takes a bit to get him to open up. Here are some tips:
1) Keep your distance
2) Don't make eye contact
3) Avoid threatening gestures
4) Talk in a friendly voice
5) Offer a treat
Don't try to run if things go wrong. He is faster than you.

I'm sure there's a story behind the TimBukToo/TimBukTwo names, but regardless, I just joined.

I'm afraid that I can't help on that front. Well, I could, but my wife may have issues with any operations I may have - especially if it's just to be able to help the team.

Welcome to new member Warren Frink! We're glad to have you aboard!

Welcome to the team!

[Blarney Pilgrim]

It's been a couple of days since I joined TimbukToo, so I guess it's time to introduce myself. I'm not new to indoor rowing, just been away from it for a long time. I started the Pete Plan for beginners last week and made it through the first week pretty well. I'm also signed up for the Fall Challenge. This is my first experience with a team here so I'm looking forward to it. It should be fun. Thanks Quatroux for the warm welcome.......Warren F.

Welcome Warren!! We have another new team-mate here I think also doing the Pete Plan. And for me, being part of the team is all the difference between having a rower with nearly 3.5 million million meters on it ( ) and having a large, unused, dusty object cluttering up my living room. Keeps me rowing!! This year I have committed to participating in all the various C2 challenges, as well (team and individual). I've accumulated way more meters so far this season compared to any past. Good stuff. Best wishes towards achieving your goals!

It's confusing as hell, especially since there's another team called TimBukTu. Here's a brief summary... And a longer one...

And don't forget Andy's excellent summary here!

On a side note, just pulled a 5K in 17:25.9, a 1:44.5 pace, and a PB for me.

(Head slap) D'oh!! How could I forget THAT rendition!! And a big WOOT on your newest PB!!

How is that a side note? My 500M time isn't that low. I'm downloading the wolverine plan so I can beat you next year.
