TimbukTOO Team Room

Is this for a whole year? If so put me down for 780K. I'm a newb but I think 15k per week is easily attainable for me. Can I go over? What If I don't reach my goal? I assume just bragging rights for the most meters rowed for the year between teams?

Sorry for all the questions.

No problem! But this goal is only for the World Erg Challenge (March 15 - April 15). I can still put you down for 780k though! Last challenge, I think Diane M rowed over 1MM!!!

Nothing happens if you don't reach your goal, and yes you can go over. It's only to give each of us a number to shoot for during the challenge -- usually encourages us each to row more consistently. Me anyway!

Oh hell. Put me down for 100K. Give me something to reach for.

That's the spirit!!!

I'm looking at 250K for the challenge ........ thank you! Ken C

[garygOP]

I will try for 150K- if things go well, I can up the ante.

[Izzzmeister]

OK PEOPLE!! Time to set WEC goals! I've got John B, Bobbie Z, and Ron M down. And I remember Izzy mumbling something about 325, I think... And I'm down for 125k.

Step right up, step right up, and set your goals today! Post 'em here and post 'em

I went to 310K, or 10K per day times 31. I think there'll be calendar issues, but I'll do what I can...

[TaraRivers]

I am going to try to do 100k forWEC. Once it starts do we post our meters here and the logbook or just the logbook?

[quilter35]

Put me down for 150,000.

Just the logbook. It's all automagic. Well, usually.

Hi everyone. New member New Rower here. This is my second week of rowing. Last week was just getting used to the machine and learning how to row I didn't care about time or distance. Started logging this week, signed on with this team and for the World Challenge. I haven't set a goal for the challenge because honestly I have no idea. My body is adjusting to this new exercise(i.e. it's sore). At this point, my longest row is just under 7k.

I use Row Pro which with my lifelong love of video games is perfect. Throw it on the big screen, crank the radio and it's fun. As a beginner, I find the on screen rower helpful in slowing down my recovery time. It's also great setting other lanes up with my previous pace or quite humbling to set a lane up with a pace from the the leader in my age group.

Good luck to everyone doing the challenge. It is perfect timing for me, I'll try rowing while watching the start of the Formula 1 season. What else is there to do on Sunday at 2am.

Hi all

Long time no post.

Still recovering from injury and trying to be sensible, can't believe how slow I am, so will only bid for 100k but hope to exceed it.

As a small recompense my training buddy (Neil Quilliam) has signed up so you now have two people from the Isle of Man.

Neil is not on the forum but he is just approaching the 2m for the season, he does 10k religiously each weekday, he has a week ski-ing in the middle of the challenge but I will be surprised if he doesn't put in 150k making up for my deficit.

He had asked me to check that he had signed up and entered OK and it looks fine to me so I will tell him tomorrow, between gasps.

Welcome aboard! (I'm guessing this is Daniel Hart?) Welcome to the wonderful exercise/pain/meditation that is erging. No need to think of goals right now -- get used to the activity and work on technique. C2 has technique videos and there are tons of things on YouTube as well. And the forums here are a font of knowledge!

I know we have other RowPro rowers here as well -- but don't row with Cap'n Izz. I did that once and never saw another boat the whole time after about 15 seconds. I'm slow.

As to what else is there to do Sunday at 2AM, uh.... sleep?!?!

Keith, it is SOOOO good to see you back in (albeit a little) action!!! Slow is elegant, or so I tell myself. It's the activity that counts. And glad to have another Manian aboard, or whatever the proper moniker!

I see Neil on the challenge team, but not on the affiliation -- please let him know he's more than welcome on both.

Keep gasping -- it's better than not sucking in air at all!
