Milestone

Post by John Hendrie » April 24th, 2006, 8:25 am

This is not exactly a PB, more of a milestone. On 4/22/06 I reached the 20 million meters mark. It took 10.4 years

John,

Come back after you have 40 Million under your belt and then I will be impressed. :wink: :wink: :wink:

Just kidding. Very Impressive indeed!!! Puts my 500K to shame.

Well, considering that you started almost 10 years to the month after I did that's not too shabby. You are also 33 years my junior so have plenty of time to catrch up

Many congratulations John! :D :D
Not only is that an impressive distance, but I also think that it is impressive to have kept at it for over 10 years :shock: .
Good luck on continued erging for many more years, and making it 'around the world'.

Congratulations! I'm about to hit my first million. I just did the math, and at the rate I'm rowing now, I just need another 50 years to catch up to you!

gc 42 <- hopes he's still rowing 50 years from now, and looking forward to hitting 120 million meters

Huge milestone Rick, nice accomplishment. When this post started in April I was at 500K and now at 900K so at that rate it will be another 20+ years for me :D

Well done Rick ... and your first 2K gives me hope! I'd love to row the times you do as a LW.

Sincere and warm congratulations!

That's a lot of meters. You're about halfway around the world on your own! Good luck on the the next 20 Mm.
