Congratulations, Robyn, on achieving 500,000 m in the Virtual Team Challenge! And way cool - her tub gets the Golden Gate - and she has orange for her Giants! It's the little things... !!

A slipper of a moon appearing on the eastern horizon as I finished off a row this morning at silly o’clock…actually went back to bed for an hour afterwards! :shock:

Brought a smile to my face as it got me thinking about team Luna-tics (I needed something to smile about in those last 1,000 metres!)

Go team Luna-tics, congratulations on all the milestones and tubs, and that sub 6 minute video is amazing!...

Cheers Baz

VTC: Day 29 or 30 of 31....CRUNCH Time !!

Post by Kona2 » January 29th, 2014, 11:04 am

Image Day 29 or 30 of 31 ... CRUNCH time !!

To paraphrase one of the best known lines in the movie Independence Day....they will not go quietly into the night....Community Rowing gave a good push and came up with 1.4 MM in the last 20 hours or so...thing is, we came up with 1.5 MM ...! Well done, Lunies !! The Denver Nuggets basketball team has a new coach this year, and one of the things that he asks his "new" team as they head down the final stretch is "are you going to fold under the pressure or keep the pressure on?" Well, we are keeping the throttle wide open down the final stretch! Go Lunies !!! I think I got at least four sports worth in there.

1 FRENCH INDOOR ROWERS TEAM Virtual Club 37,572,494 372 101,001
2 Community Rowing, Inc On-Water Club 31,878,637 335 95,160

4 Age Without Limits Virtual Club 29,756,581 222 134,039
5 Greenwich Crew On-Water Club 18,684,794 122 153,154

And on the way to our amazing 31st million, some cool milestones happened! Elton, sporting a great hat, sailed across the 500,000 m milestone and claimed his hot tub! Congratulations to Chip, Rick C, Douglas, Karyn and Francisco on reaching the 200,000 m milestone and claiming oars. And congratulations to our two newest canoeists (say that fast) Ron B and Keh M!

Funny that you should quote Independence Day. I was watching it yesterday while I erged. It didn't bring me across that 200k mark, but it did bring me within 7k so that I could finish it off today and earn my oar.

Thanks for all the motivation AJ and Kona!
