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

[bg]

Tomorrow is going to be the toughest row I have ever taken on, scary because it is so much longer than I have ever done before, and because at one stage the forecast was for 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 Fahrenheit), my garage is going to be like an oven. But I have done the training, I've rested up (sort of) and I'm hungry for Pizza and a beautiful boat like Ed's. I must be a LUNA-TIC, I certainly feel like one right now! [/size][/color][/quote]



hope your row goes well :]

Shabana, be careful and best in your rowing adventure today!

Come on LUNA-TICs, as of right now we have dropped 2 places to 11th for the sake of six kilometres! Any one of us can do that much, let's go!

And didn't Nadal and Federer produce one of the best tennis matches ever!

[Kona2]

Back in 9th....for the moment...one posting and we rise or fall with less than 5K separating the three teams vying for 9th....


9 LUNA-TICS Virtual 12,696,894m 100 126,969m
10 Narragansett Boat Club On-Water 12,695,880m 68 186,704m
11 RowPro Team Virtual 12,692,160m 115 110,367m

Meanwhile, Andrew's getting ready to hit the erg (perhaps at oh-dark-thirty to take advantage of lesser heat) and go for a biggie distance. Even half that biggie distance will give us some breathing room. And speaking of breathing, do watch that asthma attack stuff....it's scary and can make you row with the angels. Think slower and steady gets this race done...no sprinting needed!

The Moon River is filling up with canoes as the ArMOONda gets a move on! Wim has earned his canoe and joined us in the virtual waters! 44 boats in the fleet!

... Following Yoda's advice from Kona2 ...

Tomorrow is going to be the toughest row I have ever taken on, scary because it is so much longer than I have ever done before, and because at one stage the forecast was for 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 Fahrenheit), my garage is going to be like an oven.

Well, I'm certainly rooting for you and your 100K quest; I'm sure you'll be sensible about it ... though, that's already a contradiction in terms, from where I'm sitting! You've inspired me, for one, to quit feeling sorry for myself with whatever version of the plague that the grand-littles have shared this week, and Just Do It! Let's go out in a blaze of glory!

Wim R Thanks, AJ!

I knew I could manage 100k in a 24 hour period in bits, I wanted something a little more, like the first marathon I ran all the way rather than walked/ran. That was why it was so scary! I was hoping to make it under eight hours. I guess that there is some truth in you get what you visualise, I made it in 7:57:59, having stood up twice, once to change pillows and once for a toilet break (I drank 7 litres of fluids). Fortunately the expected hot weather did not materialise.

Congratulations to Danno, Wim, David B, K2 and all the loonies achieving great results as the competition comes to a close!
