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

[Kona2]

is it too early...i rowed 10,221 meters today for my prederby row.....i started at 0 and as you can see went a tiny bit over.....because i started at 0 the timer stopped when i had to adjust my headband and stop to drink....does this count or does the erg need to be set at 10,000 at the start.....or should time be added for my stoppages...i'm slow...adding time won't bother me :}

it's a little early - it doesn't have to be an exact number either. I've reposted the number sets and dates needed. Thanks for reminding me to do that!

[Kona2]

Argghhhh...the highs and the lows!

Quiet aint always a bad thing. Grin. I am reading but not writing a lot these days. All is fine though. Just counting down in my head those last few days before the big marathon ride. Yikes! I do believe that is three more sleeps.
Ed WOW!!! 10 big bad boys! That's all the fingers on both my hands.
Have fun all and of course, keep on rock'n.

Whoop, whoop and take it to the bank....the meter bank, that is! A hearty congratulations to Ed on achieving his goal of TEN million meters in the 2016 season. Incredible bit of work there throughout the year. We wish you many, MANY more years of erging success!

Hi Kona,

Thanks for the wishes! There were times wasn't sure I could or would reach the goal. It has been an adventure for sure. 10,000,000 meters this year, 30,500,000 life time and lost 25lbs in the process. Great year for me. Good thing not much to do in Qatar... Ha ha. Although going diving with the whale sharks this afternoon, there are 15+ that live near by.

Happy rowing all,

Ed

[dag1]

Great job Ed, I believe that's a 1/2 marathon + a 6k for each day (365 +1 for leap year) great achievement!!

This is it ! The LAST day of the 2016 Erging Season! 2017 is peeking around the corner!

Oh cruel spring....sliding back into winter here in the Denver area! Snowed all day yesterday, will continue today AND there's another storm coming our way. Egad, and shiver me timbers. Throw a tarp over the fence to protect the burgeoning giant allums ! Yes, these giant purple Horton-Hears-A-Who flowers started a rapid growth phase, complete with almost open pod just a day before the snow. Will they survive this year??? They are some of my favorites!!!
