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

[TallErgs]

Two 20km rides magically became 20km rows at a 58 second/500m pace. I was quite let down when I had to convert them to rides in the logbook.

Whoop, whoop and way to go! Another teammate gets his million meter milestone during the Challenge! Congratulations, Dennis, on achieving a ONE million meter erging season! We wish you many, MANY more!!

[Kona2]

Whoop, whoop and what a rocketship full of meters he has! Congratulations, David A, on achieving a TWO million meter erging season. David's one of the most consistent rowers on the team - producing a steady amount of meters throughout the year...so, I thought I would take a look at where he was at this time last year. On October 14, 2019 his meters were 1879735 ...he's running a bit ahead this year! WOW! We wish you many, MANY more!! And October 14, 2018...he was at 1,671,672 m ....how about that! A steady increase year over year!

Even more surprising, the team as a whole last year was at 52 MM on this date...and here we are with 74 MM today.

Day 30 of 31 !!!

Here are the current standings: https://log.concept2.com/challenges/ftc/2021/teams


Looks like Dark Horse lost a teammate (and so late in the Challenge...argh!) and that could be what is a primary gap closer for us...well, in addition to everyone erging their very brains out. Zombie season you know!

New to the forum - joined the LUNA-TICS just for the team challenge based on the team origins and looniness. COVID kept me out of the gym so I bought a Concept 2 Rower in July 2020. Former runner, soccer player - this challenge has been fun and logging the meters has been a blast. Two more days. I thought that we might catch Dark Horse. Off to log another 10k for my birthday - today - then have a few beers and make a dinner of shrimp and grits. Cheers to the Loonies!!

Apologies for not rowing much the last week, been dealing with a death in the family, and still haven't quite recovered from pulling an all-nighter to make the meal for the funeral. I did at least (barely) scrape over the 100k line last weekend, so I'll add what I can tomorrow night when I'm able to get back on the erg.

Thanks for being part of the Challenge team. We’re within striking distance of Dark Horse. Time for the blaze of glory!!!

Welcome, Pete!! Maybe a longer row (or two) today to work off the birthday beers and pass Dark Horse?

Day 31 of 31 !!! THIS IS it!!!

GO GO GO Lunies! Time to fire up the afterburners!! The current gap stands at 32K between ninth and eighth place. Certainly not an insurmountable number, but you can guess for sure that Dark Horse is telling its team members that we are on their erg tails. Give it ALL you've got today!!

I'm planning on another 10k later today. Dark Horse is within 25k so I'll do my part in closing the gap!!
