LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.
He's A Meter Multi-Millionaire !!! Again !!
Whoop, whoop and more hooyah! Here's another teammate who has a victory lap to take after completing a full marathon to sail across the FOUR million meter milestone for the season. Congratulations, Ron, on achieving a FOUR million meter rowing season. We wish you many, MANY more!
All In A Day's ERG: Team Progress Thru 11.29.13
Whoosh! That's the sound of another month flying by as the team rows and ski-ergs through the year!
Usually wait until the 1st of the month to whoosh through...but wowzer! Seemed like there was a lot of time at the beginning of November....where did it go?!
Welcome back to Mike G - also known as TMITWH (the man in the white hat ). Great to see another returning teammate on the roster!
Day 3 or 4 of 27...!
And the FIRST reindeer is claimed.... Ben Best has reached the 100K milestone in the Holiday Challenge. That not only means that he's earned some Concept 2 donation dollars - it means that he's claimed his reindeer. Now for some of our newer teammates, our reindeer tradition might need some explanations. At 100 K (50 K for adaptive rowers/ski-ergers choosing this category), you "earn" your reindeer. And that reindeer gets named. At 200 K, the antler lights appear. At 300 K, I believe it is the flashing reindeer harness. I will have to go back into our Reindeer Chronicles and make sure I have the sequence correct. Great thundering hooves !

Re: He's A Meter Millionaire!
Thanks Kona for the shoot-out! I appreciate your thought that my half marathon was a planned statement, but unfortunately it was more of a Holiday Challenge catch up and a response to Thanksgiving Day over indulgence!Kona2 wrote:

Hear hear. I need to play catch-up, now the turkey's a mere memory; and am ridiculously motivated by the reindeer. This is a lovely graphic; good find!danwho wrote:Congratulations on the milestones, and to our early reindeer leaders.

Re: LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.
I was wondering why OD rowers don't get a reindeer @ 50k. They start earning money @ 50k. Just a thought

Reasonable that this question should be asked. Sometimes things do fly under the radar (like reindeer ). The individuals have all specified when they would like to receive their reindeer: some are indeed at 50K, and others are at 100K. As we all know, the OD folks often carry the rest of us through a challenge - they are all very disciplined rowers and ski-ergers who are very capable of generating mega-meters! Glad to have their support! And yours.
