And in case anyone gets an attack of the Medieval Munchies after all that rowing, you're now in luck:

Joined your Team a short while back during this Challenge. Guessing that you had to have been onboard before the Challenge started to have a row count for the Team. That's fine! Hoping to stay active with this Team.

Hit my 100K today and got my $2.08 in to help with the Fundraising. This Team has some heavy hitters. Congrats to all the small frys like myself who made it!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!
Welcome to the lunaverse. Hmm, did I spell that correctly? Man, who cares. Grin. Have a good time BoB.
Dan, row row row? haha. You kill me.
Have a great holiday everyone.

Congratulations on earning your FIRST EVER Reindeer....we're calling your reindeer Bob....because I thought we needed a Bob the reindeer ...and here you are!

Hooboy! The Lunies are indeed rocking the reindeer! Marvelous efforts - all of them! Which reminds me....we DO have two young reindeer...and traditionally they get picked to be Rudolph (the youngest with the most meters) and Bluedolf or Grandolf or Goldolf.

Deer Thor?

Post by Thor MW » December 25th, 2017, 8:25 am

Hi all. Not sure if I missed it or not but for the record I did get in my two bucks as well. Over 50 sweat hearts this year, how cool is that. Cooler than it is outside which is -5C or 22F according to my phone.

Best wishes to all.
Love Thor.

And so another Holiday Challenge wraps up! I believe the Lunies had one of the highest averages for number of Challenge meters per active team member - Concept2's team did really well and may have beat us out. So even if we were 4th overall in total meters, we rocked it with our reindeer!

Concept2 is giving us TWO January Challenges that run concurrently....one where you are a virtual team challenge participant, and one where you challenge yourself. I thought they were the same thing! Looks like something for everyone! You can erg with the team, and also plot your progress towards your own revolutionary goal.

To sign on for the January Virtual Challenge, when next in your logbook, scroll across to the heading of teams, and scroll down to JOIN the challenge. We welcome all ergers. Just think...it's ALREADY time for the canoes to hit the virtual waters!

This is such a cruel team :lol:
One could just do some normal exercising for their health, but then you might not be able to a get a reindeer, let alone one with extra accoutrements.
So they make me go do an hour of strenuous exercise everyday so that I can get my tail wag! :o (And what do I even care about reindeer :P )
Thank you everybody on the team, and especially Kona and AJ.
(Isn't also time for Guinan to start taking drink orders?)

That's pretty much just what I think about, too, as I'm pedaling and pulling my way to that extra-incentive holiday bling! (Especially while DH is relaxing on the couch with his iPad, finding ways to make Ed's million meter reindeer gallop across the desert sands!)


NYE drink orders! Are you at Ten Forward, yet, Guinan?
