Congrats to all.
I hope it's OK to break the ice with this reply - it's the only way Forums would let me post cuz I'm new (please forgive if I'm in error).
Hi, I'm new to Luna-Tics and just wanted to intro myself. I'm on a Concept2 RowErg, I'm newer at rowing and am having fun while trying to get/stay fit (you'll find me on the C2 leader boards as "Shannon G" I'll be "leading" the end of the log pages - LOL). I hope to add to the Luna-Tics meter goals and make some friends along the way. As far as outerspace goes, Pluto is my fav because I feel she gets picked on a lot in the interstaller sciences world. I'm Team "Planet" Pluto - never underestimate an underdog. Happy rowing

Welcome, and enjoy the trip with us.
(I'm also a Pluto fan.)

Five or six reindeer days to go...depending on where you live....and we'll probably end up with 43 reindeer if all goes as planned. This is a significant drop in numbers from previous years. All years are different, and we have much competing for our attention and time.

This year marks my 15th Holiday Challenge. Keeping up here makes it all the more fun. I can tell how my body is slowing down with increasing split times and not pushing myself as hard. Since getting my own Concept 2, I do the long ergs to the computer monitor. This challenge my companions are "the Midsomer Murders" and "Murder She Wrote." I'm pushing to erg 300K to get my flashing harness. Thanksgiving was so late this year we lost some challenge days. Using the Erg data app makes keeping track of workouts so easy.....

You are very close to earning the Flashing Harness with your reindeer Silver, too ! Less than 20K to go! Having almost a full week's worth fewer days made a lot of difference for many, but great that you are powering on!

Hi, I'm new to Luna-Tics and just wanted to intro myself. I'm on a Concept2 RowErg, I'm newer at rowing and am having fun while trying to get/stay fit (you'll find me on the C2 leader boards as "Shannon G" I'll be "leading" the end of the log pages - LOL). I hope to add to the Luna-Tics meter goals and make some friends along the way. As far as outerspace goes, Pluto is my fav because I feel she gets picked on a lot in the interstaller sciences world. I'm Team "Planet" Pluto - never underestimate an underdog. Happy rowing

Shannon, it’s super-great to meet you! Thanks for introducing yourself.

The original reason for creating this Team Room in the C2 Forum was to give the Luna-Tics a special place to build friendships, cheer one another along, and get to know each other. Our team is stronger for it!

In the early days we had lots of daily postings by our team-mates (and even some drop in posts from rival teams during competitions. The daily stats posted by Kona2 were just a small (but mighty-inspiring) part of the daily postings.

So you and all of us are encouraged to share this journey through life as you feel inspired to do.

I’ve personally had to cut back my time on the rowing machine to just the Holiday Challenge because of issues with my wrists and grip, so I’m not posting much anymore, but I’m still an avid Luna-Tic, and am so happy to see this team is still going strong.

Cheers and happy rowing to everyone as we near the end of this year’s Holiday Challenge!

Way to row, Everyone!

Fast and furious, although light on their hooves, the reindeer are landing on the rooftop, adding to their accessories! Hard to keep up with all the Reindeer Milestones...but doing my best! Naturally still trying to earn my reindeer Buttercup's freedom...only 10 K more to go! Like the little engine...I think I can, I think I can!

Like chickens coming back to roost, family and friends are making their way to our respective homes...or maybe YOU are all in transit, too! Safe travels to all, and keep the travel zen moments going! And if you're wishing for a shiny new, or new to you, erg ...I hope that big box is beneath your tree! These Challenges are one of the big reasons many of us go on to invest in our own erg or ergs...so great to be able to take that 15 or 20 minutes to add to your meter totals.

I want to thank everyone doing the Holiday Challenge for pushing me and especially Kona2 for keeping track of it all. I spent the first 4 months of the year in the hospital, then 2 months recovery, then another operation. I was finally allowed to row lightly in Oct and sit on a bike and pedal slowly. In Nov, I knew I could do the Holiday Challenge to test myself so I challenged my gym to keep up. Between them and you pushing me I was able to get more meters than in the past and went way beyond what I was expecting to do.
Merry Christmas to all the reindeer and remember you get a day off soon.

What a great story! You've had a great Holiday Challenge - and you surprised me more than a few times with the kinds of meters you started throwing down! Knew you were going for it in a serious way! Congratulations, Pat, on getting the fully blinged out reindeer! That's bragging rights!!

And the Ear Wag...the fully blinged out reindeer....for Pat as he reaches 500K Challenge meters !
