Had a fun message from Peter H of NLD. Some will remember that he shared his wedding cake virtually with us a few years ago. What great news! Congratulations !

Hi Jan, Today no meter update from me. This morning my son Xander was born in the hospital. Both mother and son are doing great. I will be back on the rower soon to earn my Amerigo Reindeer. regards, Peter H.

All In A Few Days of Erging: Team Progress Thru 11.29.14

Post by Kona2 » November 30th, 2014, 1:37 pm

Hooboy! Lots to catch up on because the Lunies have been erging like crazy! I like James G's message of "eeesh! I'm feeling it now" Bet I say the same thing when I get back on the rower today! I got a ton of walking miles in over the last few days, but not a single erging meter.

Welcome back to Terry M, Paul S, Noelle, Larry E and Ian F...always good to see returning teammates - especially during the reindeer season!

Season meters as of 213/365 = 46,554,748 m

Total meters over the last few days = 1,411,214 m

4.0 MM Ed

Dancer (Kristine)

Hooboy! Let one reindeer out, and the gates are open! Congratulations to Kristine on a FIRST EVER ! Traditionally, we give the names of the classic 8 reindeer to our first 8 to reach 100 K (unless a specific request is made). This is the FIRST time that Kristine has been in the first eight, and she is delighted to be Dancer. Well done!

Congratulations, you over-achieving reindeer rowers, Ed and Kristine!
I'm still stacking the dishwasher, after Thanksgiving ... but, I'll be at 100K, soon!
