There was a halloween challenge this past fall: betwen Oct 25-Oct 31. An iron-on/certificate was available if you hit 31km. That was a snap.

For the holiday challenge, I hit 130km today. Shooting for 200, so with 10 days left and 7-10kms to do, that should be no problem...so long as work doesn't end up getting in the way. My goal is to take one day off this weekend and then row straight through each day; I'll be done before X-mas eve!

I'm really motivated to hit 1 million meters before I go on vacation to Scotland in mid Feb. I don't think it'll be a problem so long as I stay healthy/injury-free.

Good luck all and keep paddling!

Done!

I have now the challenge at 204.000m. I used Xeno's "100k/200k" workout DVD one more time for another quite tough workout.

Today I also passed the 4 mio mark lifetime meters.

Tomorrow morning I go again!
