I don't think we track meters for the individual challenges

Yes - after posting that I went back to the website and discovered that it was an individual challenge. Nonetheless, I do need to do about 200K to hit my first million in the calendar year so still looking to hit 200K!! Happy rowing!

After slacking off some from the Erg this past summer with brick projects, road trips, and restoring fire hydrants I've doubled up on bubble wrap (the best and cheapest cushion for sore butts!) and am trying to build up endurance for the Holiday Challenge which is fast approaching. My goal is going to be 250,000 meters. Already driving the regulars at the Y crazy.... the other day I proudly showed the University rowing coach how I programmed my time to all 1"s. One hour, 11 minutes, 11 seconds!!!
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it!!!

Not by choice. I banged my knee on the edge of the dashboard while getting into my truck. There was a lot of swelling for an innocent bump. Oh well, a few days off and now I'm up to 22spm on my L4 workouts.

Lisa:
Belated CONGRATULATIONS on becoming a millionaire-
I have been doing a bit of business travel recently and have not kept up on either my erging or reading the Forum.
I hope to get back into it for the challenge.
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all- eat, drink and row?
.......Maybe not in that order, but I highly recommend all 3 activities, in moderation of course.

Thanks, Gary! Looks like you haven't been completely absent, but we're always keeping your seat warm!

Moderation, eh? I like this quote from a Robert Heinlein book (I forget which one):

"Everything to excess!! Moderation is for monks." But I'm going to try to take it easy on the food over the holiday -- a couple of pounds have crept back on.

Never say "never". If you did it once, you will likely do it again!
