TimbukTOO Team Room

[CONLEJM]

It’s great to see one of our studs, Keith J, returning! Welcome back!

I agree! Welcome back Keith! I hope you've been making good progress in your rowing. We can use you in the upcoming team challenge, for sure!

Will the meters that I am currently rowing for March Madness also count for WEC?
Also if I join TimbuToo do I also join the affiliation?

Will the meters that I am currently rowing for March Madness also count for WEC?

Yes!

Also if I join TimbuToo do I also join the affiliation?

No.
There are year-long Affiliations (that you join at the bottom of your Profile/Edit Profile page), and Teams for the challenges (that you join on the Teams page, then go back and join the specific challenge).

Our year-long Affiliation is called TimbukTOO, our Team is TimbukTWO. We would love to have you join both!

Cap'n Izzz

Okay thanks, I will go do both.

Okay thanks, I will go do both.

Thanks, Jack! Glad you stopped smoking, even if it took to age 62 to do it! My father-in-law didn't stop smoking until he was in mid-50s, and he turns 90 in 2 weeks!
The rowing will help increase your lung capacity & keep you from gaining weight. Keep making good health choices, and welcome to TimbukTOO!

[Izzzmeister]

Sorry I waited so long to remind everyone, and thanks to the 10 people who signed up since I posted! Thanks, Rusty A, Jack F, Mary H, Andy I, Keith J, Cindy KR, Jamus MacG, Ron M, John S, Margaret W & Glenn Y!
That puts us at 29 going on 70!
Let's get signed up & rowing like bats out of Louisville!

[damselfly]

Okay thanks, I will go do both.

Welcome to the team, Jack! You'll get your "official" welcome when I do today's stats (tomorrow AM), but I just wanted to give you a quick welcome. I hope you enjoy our mad little bunch of rowers!

Welcome aboard, Jamus! Great-looking trail you're biking on there! I think we have some other cyclists aboard ship as well. Glad to have you rowing with us!

Michael M - 10,140 What was yesterday, a three-workout day?

I suppose I should clarify, I meant the 29+k day you had Wednesday, not the 10k...

I knew what you meant there... That was a ramp up for the WEC. I may be crazy, but I'm gonna try to average 30K per day for the challenge. That will get me very close to 2M for the season. So I guess my goal for the challenge is to approach 1M.

Meg just signed up for the challenge also. She will continue rowing 5K a day, for a goal of 150K.

Uh, ya think?

Meg just signed up for the challenge also. She will continue rowing 5K a day, for a goal of 150K.

OK, I'll put you down for 960 (32 x 30k), let me know otherwise... and Meg for 150.

Go, man, go!!!
