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

[bg]

Well, that was a bit of a shock to the system this morning, it felt like the little gnomes had put some resistance weights on the ERG handle while I was away.

We are just back from two weeks in the Australian Outback, great weather and time had by all!

And I trust all team Luna-tic members are doing well and look forward to getting back into the groove…

Cheers, Baz

welcome back :} i need to catch up on your blog postings....looking forward to reading about your adventures :}

Recent postings have given a whole new view (so to speak) of our half and full moons. In fact, I have often wondered why an outhouse only shows a half moon on the door when everyone knows there's a full moon inside. Hahahaha. No offense meant. So, in keeping with these posts, today's half moons are a little different.

Season meters as of 363/365 = 183,659,412 m

Total meters on the day = 517,342 m

Oars in space (participation) = 24 percent

Well, I don't need the outhouse anymore It was a long day, but the new tank got put in yesterday.
I'm hoping that today I can get myself over the 8 MM mark.
I'm going south tomorrow. It is the 150th anniversary of the Battle of the Wilderness. May 5th 1864 is still the deadliest day in Vermont History. The VT Brigade sat astride the junction of the the Brock and Orange Plank Roads and met the attack of Heth's Division of A.P. Hill's Corps. If the Confederates had taken that key junction they could have attacked the Union 5th and 6th Corps in the flank and rear and split them off from Hancock's 2nd Corps.
The junction was held but the Vermonters paid a terrible price. Many units of the Union Army paid a heavy price as the Union generals, once again, underestimated the daring and audacity of Lee.

Congrats everyone on another completed rowing season.

Of course, I have only been around for the first few weeks and the last two weeks of it, so I managed just over 5% of my target (2M meters) for the year.
I got sick (flu) a week into the season and never really got back to rowing until this past month.

But the past week and a half have been a good start and hopefully I can keep the momentum going. If nothing else I should be able to hit the lifetime 2M meters (less than 150km to go). With a little luck and motivation, I think 3M meters lifetime is possible for me. Here's to staying motivated and making time (not that easy with a 6-year old in gymnastics and swimming lessons, and an almost 10-year old in swim team, piano and bass, and being naturally lazy).

New season, new meters. Go team!

[Edscapade]

It's another EIGHT million meter teammate! Whoop, whoop and hooyah! Good work and great finish, Ron! We wish you many more millions!

Congratulations Ron!! Knew you could do it. You set and kept a good pace for us to follow all year and I thank you for that!
Have a great new season.

Best,
Ed

Ahh... but I bet it was those last 8 meters that were the hardest! Congratulations Ron on your Eight million meter season!!

Also congrats to our newest millionaires Sarah and David W!

Not really had much time to row over the last few months due to work and relationship commitments, but work at least has calmed down just a little bit, so I'm getting back onto the sliding seat. A few days of pain ahead I think, but it'll be worth it?
