Quick question for more knowledgeable team members....Do miles canoeing on water count? It's paddling, not rowing, but my C2 paddle-erg miles count. If canoe miles count, will add in today's distance when completed. Training for several upcoming canoe races, so thanks in advance for your input .

[danwho]

A lot of thunder coming out of Ontario, from Thor's Hammer and Janice's Thunder Bay.
Congratulations on your MM milestones !!!

Interesting question about canoeing, Steve. But I don't know the answer.

Since we are not in a challenge now, you should be able to add on water meters. They will not count towards your million meter challenge, but will be included in the annual total. I am pretty sure that Richard T and others add on water meters at different times of year.

Whoop, whoop and what a milestone! Congratulations, Ken, on achieving a TWO million meter rowing season! We wish you many, MANY more!

I know. Many of you are busy honing your favorite Mint Julep recipes in advance of The Derby, but today, my friends, is World Malbec Day. Raise a glass!

Meanwhile, it was a Yooper Scooper early in the day workout of 90 minutes to clear the walkways, driveways and help some neighbors. It's springtime in the Rockies, and 20 more inches of snow on the ground here. Wowzer!

No one had the horse Creator (wasn't even a blip on my limited radar), but Suddenbreakingnews (Salvador's horse) and Noel's horse Whitmore both picked up some Derby points for their finishes in the Arkansas Derby.
