I wanted to congratulate TimbukTOO for reaching 50 million meters yesterday! That's huge, especially for an affiliation with less than 100 members! That's a whole bunch of sweat equity!

It looks like Michelle S & Christa Krause have joined us! A super welcome to Michelle! A huge welcome to Christa! We can already see that y'all are going to make a huge contribution to TimbukTOO!
We now have TimbukTOOers working through & around virtually every physical limitation and challenge. I'm proud to be on your team, but you do make me feel like a slacker. You take away virtually every excuse I can give myself not to row!

[damselfly]

Lisa H - 7,813 Fighting to get back into form…

Actually, I'm not. No fight in me right now whatsoever. I'm just treading water. My mother has been ailing and between working, keeping a household together, and caring for her I haven't been getting any exercise. It's just how it is right now and I don't know when it will change. I'll put in meters when I can...

Hi teammates!! Yep, it's been awhile since I've spun the flywheel! This summer I was running and I've been swimming throughout the fall. Alas, circumstance has guided me back to my trusty ol' rower. And just in time for the Holiday Challenge! I'm setting a goal of 110,000 m. That should allow me to eat a few extra holiday cookies, right??

Good luck to all in the challenge! I'm happy to be a part of this team!

Welcome to the team, Cindy. I trust that the circumstances that led you back to the rower were not physical, this team seems to have it's share of that.

A note to our adaptive rowers regarding the holiday challenge and our meters reports:

My stats program uses the holiday meters shown on the affiliation page to calculate our team earnings. The algorithm is different for adaptive and non-adaptive rowers according to the Holiday Challenge program, in that for adaptive participants, the $.04 rate will take effect at 50k instead of at 100k. Therefore, if you are rowing in the challenge as an adaptive rower, I would need to know this for my program to report your earnings correctly.

This is completely optional on your part. If you want to let me know, send me a PM.

Thanks!!
