Post by Kona2 » April 1st, 2021, 2:04 pm

Whoooooooosh! That's the sound of you and your erg(s) flying through yet ANOTHER month!

This is IT ! It's the last month of the 2021 erging season, and we are poised on the very EDGE of a team metric that we don't always reach: the one where the AVERAGE meters is ONE million. Let's get it done! We need FOUR million meters - at least as it stands now with 179 teammates - to make this so.

A single day loooooong drive isn't the smartest thing I've done...but, like some not so wise things we all do, it worked out (this time). Roads were dry, no big dust storms, but oh is the desert dark dark dark when the sun sets. My favorite roadside LED warning...drop the phones, watch the cones. Most humorous juxtaposition of town names..Derry NM and Arrey NM.

Image

Image
World Erg Challenge...the competition is heating up! Teams in your rear view mirror may be closer than you realize!

Yesterday = 10th
Today = 10th


Image
All done.


Several Lunies finished the Challenge on the last day...and for some, it just depends on how the calendar falls as to whether or not it will be possible to finish it! Congratulations to our latest 5K finishers: David A, Corey, Brent, Rick, Heather, Scott K, and Job. Congratulations to our latest 10K finishers: David A and Job. If I left anyone out, please speak up - it is not a perfect science to go through the lists!



5K = 34,028 (75) 10K = 13,374 (41) Peak Participation - occurred at day 8
5K = 5,453 (33) 10K = 1691 (19) Finish



And, once again, the April's Fools' Challenge is offered up - just at a good time to finish adding some hard won meters to the end of the World Erg Challenge...packing the month full ! Naturally this is helping you get ready for the Global Marathon Challenge at the beginning of the erg year...

April Fools' Challenge
April 1–15


Our special April Fools' Challenge is a streak challenge with a difference. To take part, you need to row, ski or ride every day for 15 days from April 1. Each day, however, the distance you need to do rises. On April 1 you need to do at least 1000m. On April 2, you need to do at least 2000m, all the way up to 15,000m on April 15.

You don't have to do the entire distance in one workout, and you can combine meters from different machines. BikeErg meters count for half, however, so you'll need to do at least 2,000m on the BikeErg on April 1.



Welcome to new teammate Scott K!
