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

[Kona2]

Wow, wow, wow!! This is awesome!! Congratulations, Maria L-G, on completing a half marathon on the first day of the erging year and the first day of the Marathon and Century Challenge!! Well done!

I do see your meters on the stats roster, too!

[Kona2]

Happy New Year !!

32 Lunies are on the roster as of May 1, 2024!

Now I just have to figure out why I can see that you've completed the marathon on the honor board, but your meters aren't showing up in Lunie stats...

It’s the curse of technology that hangs over my head. I have stories of printers that would make you shiver, and tales of Bluetooth speakers that would make your hairs stand.

Hooyah! Congratulations, mardix, on a fine, fine full marathon. That's a biggie to knock off on the first day of the Marathon & Century Challenge, and the first day of the season!! Well done!

Congratulations!

Ha! It turned out to be self-induced - some yourself and some myself- (we won't speculate on the origins of the curse), or as it was explained to me by our IT guru danwho - it's all in a name. You changed your name back to Ron Mardix from -mardix- which impacts the spreadsheet macro capture. The spreadsheet sees that there is a difference, highlights the total column to get me to look at the next page of the workbook and add a teammate. Since it was the first day of a new erging year, it was less obvious to me. That and the dog experiences, etc.

It's all good now! It's a blue sky day, and you are at the top of the team leaderboard. Enjoy that!

Congratulations!

Adding my congratulations too. Inspiring effort. I have not yet done a full marathon on the erg (only in running, and that was way back in the day), and I've always found ways to talk myself out of it whenever the thought came. But it is inspiring to see others' accomplishments, and maybe makes it a little easier to push on, even if it's not a full marathon...yet.

Lunies on the 2025 Roster !!

My hope and expectation is that we'll number in the 50s by end of weekend as teammates throw down some meters to get onboard! We'll see how that works out for everyone! Spring fever runs rampant in early May and many are out and about doing other things.

Does the name change in my profile mess things up for you? I can change it back. I wasn’t sure if you use the username or actual name.

Don’t touch that dial - although I would catch it now. You can be whichever you you want to be, but would like it to stay static for a week or so while we onboard teammates!

Thanks, danwho. Running a marathon is impressive. Other than impact issues, I always found running outdoors to be a much more pleasant experience than rowing indoors. Unfortunately, my running days are behind me.

Congratulations!

Thank you, dragonfly. Your rowing numbers are also impressive, considering you’ve never rowed before last season. Keep up the great work.

<full disclosure to the team, dragonfly is my wife and I finally got her on a rower after years of nudging>
