I just mis-clicked, and opened page 1, instead of page 938 ... wow, what a difference 937 pages make ... it was a brief paddle down memory lane, for sure!

Whoop, whoop and hooyah! Another oar appears after the requisite number of meters has been delivered! Way to row, Tim !

AJ, my caricature is awesome. Thanks a lot. This team is incredible. I actually look forward to rowing and feel like I have let the team down when I haven't rowed many meters. Congrats to everyone who have achieved their goals and to all who haven't quite made it, keep on pulling that chain. I know you can do it.

My sentiments EXACTLY. I don't even really know anyone here (yet), but still feel like I should be putting in more meters for the team Glad to see that we were able to put some sizeable distance between us and HAVK after dropping to 4th last week.

Hooboy! Our teammates are pulling the erg chain and moving us forward in the ArMOONda! Scott has just crossed the 200K meter milestone, and picks up his oar! Should make the next 100K a lot easier! Well done !!


. . . . . Scott Ryan . . . . .

[Kona2]

Wow! Seems like we just celebrated Sarah's million meters ... and that she had just passed the 100K milestone marker....and here she is at 200K and getting her oar. Hold onto your stopwatches, team, because she's moving fast!

Congratulations on your achievement! We wish you many, MANY more millions (in fact, we kind of count on it!)! Way to row, Da Do Ron Ron !!

Just a quick observation about our rankings and HAVK competitors....they have not updated their team totals in four days. Some teams have the strategy of an update once a week, which really provides very little time for a competitor to rally the erg meters at the end of the competition. This can either take the wind out of our sails (kind of like a 70 yard last minute pass), or the lurking team can be unmasked, providing a clue of what response your team needs to meet this predicted finish. Bwaaaa ah ah (evil laugh) as Minnie would say. I put together a simple chart a year or so ago that helps decipher where the teams are truly tracking when updates are infrequent. To use the chart, you drop down to the line that equals the day of the Challenge, then go across until you locate the total team meters recorded for that day. Look up to the top of the column, and you will see what finishing millions are predicted (and, yes - it's imperfect since it assumes a constant rate of acceleration). HAVK's last update of 13.3 MM can be found in the purple highlighted line from day 17 data. Our current data is actually a reflection of yesterday's day 20 data, and I have highlighted that set in yellow. If you look to see where our numbers fall, you will see that HAVK is actually projected to be slightly ahead of us in terms of their finishing position at about 24.5 million meters. I know. Number geek. Can't help it. The thing is, though, we have a lot of time left in this Challenge to CHANGE that finishing total. Grab an oar !!!!

Another adventurer who says "you want to go where?" as he hops aboard for the lunar journey! As always, our journeys are long and made much more enjoyable with the addition of teammates! We wish you many good rowing sessions and lots of camaraderie!!
