LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

[Kona2]

Whooosh! That's the sound of the erg and another month flying by! Hooyah for March !

Starts Today! (Or yesterday for Baz and others in the southern hemisphere!)

The Details

Choose from two levels of participation:

The Basic Challenge: Row or ski 5000 meters each day for 25 days or more in March.
The Advanced Challenge: Row or ski 10,000 meters each day for 25 days or more in March.


This is an individual challenge. You do not need to belong to a team to participate.
Meters must be entered online in your online logbook.
Indoor rower and SkiErg meters only (no on water/on snow meters please). You can combine meters from each machine to reach the daily total of 5000 or 10,000 meters.
Kid's Mud Season Madness Challenge allows kids (aged 16 and under) to participate at 2500 meters.
Adaptive athletes can choose to participate at the 2500m, 5000m, or 10k levels.
Who Can Participate

Anyone with an online logbook at concept2.com can participate in this challenge.

Incentives and Rewards

Prize drawings are held every day from all the people who have rowed/skied at least 5000 meters (2500 meters for kids and adaptive athletes) that day and entered it in their online logbook. The more days you row or ski, the more you increase your chances of winning!
On randomly selected days during March, we will draw for an additional prize from those who row/ski at least 10,000 meters (2500 meters for kids and adaptive athletes).
Prizes vary from day to day, but will include Concept2 clothing, heart rate monitors and some surprises!
Drawings are held at (or soon after) noon each weekday for the previous day, so be sure to enter your meters promptly! We will post names of winners on the web site.

Hall of Fame—All those who are on-track for rowing/skiing at least 5000 meters at least 25 days during the month of March will be listed in the Mud Season Madness Progress Board and will be able to download a specially designed certificate.
For kids and adaptive athletes, the incentives and rewards go into effect at 2500 meters.

Hooboy! Way to get us started on the Muddy Meters Challenge, Lunies! I see at least 37 Lunies on the honor board, and there's going to be a run on all those pots of gold ! Stellar!

[Kona2]

Whoop, whoop and hooyah! Cathie's star is rising in the skies over Alaska once again! A mega-meter upload sent her rowing machine sailing over the THREE million meter milestone for yet another season! And putting a star up for her meters reminded of the Alaskan state flag, and the state song which describes that flag. Cool stuff. Congratulations, Cathie, on a marvelous accomplishment! We wish you many, MANY more !!

State song of Alaska is about its flag...

Eight stars of gold on a field of blue
Alaska's flag. May it mean to you
The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
The mountain lakes, and the flow'rs nearby;
The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,
The precious gold of the hills and streams;
The brilliant stars in the northern sky,
The "Bear," the "Dipper," and, shining high,
The great North Star with its steady light,
O'er land and sea a beacon bright.
Alaska's flag to Alaskans dear,
The simple flag of a last frontier.

[Kona2]

Whoop, whoop and hooyah! Meanwhile, in the lower 48, another star in the skies above Arkansas! Congratulations, Jay, on achieving ANOTHER FOUR million meter rowing season! We wish you many, MANY more !!

Arkansas...the Diamond State! Hooboy! That four millionth meter is a sparkler in the sky, then! The song for this event would be "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds..."

Well, it wasn't mud, but it was a wet mess, and it did seem a bit mad. I came downstairs from my row to a partially flooded kit.chen. The cat had apparently jumped up onto the island, and knocked on the faucet of the vegetable sink, and the drain plug was in place.

By the way, I split up the word kit.chen, because it seems to be some kind of a trigger word - the word was replaced with with something indicating that the post was sp.am.

Day 4 of the Madness !!!!

Hooboy! Those leprechauns are hopping mad....seems that they think that waaaaay too many pots 'o gold are missing. Actually, they said STOLEN. We're not revealing the sources of our gold - we just tell you how to earn it! And that's a give me 10K ... meters, that is!

teammates are currently in the hunt for shamrocks, pots of gold and Concept2 prizes. Last year, our team winners of the Concept2 random prize giveaways were Bruce, David A and Greg C - all beneficiaries of the random drawing from the pool of those who completed either 5K or 10K on a given day of rowing. So put yourself into the group Concept2 will draw names from ! You have a GREAT chance of winning....let's see...statistically that would be.....
