Hey TIMBUK2 Crew,
The JVC has been a wild ride thus far. The experience has been terrific and the motivation you have provided unbeatable – in short; a great team, a superb captain and many fine rowers. Yesterday was a day of PB’s for me that I’d like to share with you, after all, I would not have made it without you:
Longest distance rowed in a single day
Longest distance rowed in a single week (with one day left!)
Longest distance rowed in a single month (with five days left!)

Thanks for everything so far and row strong and steady through the 31st!
GO TIMBUK2!

Take care,
Mike
:lol:

I agree with you Mike. The motivation from this team is just unbelievable. PJ makes me smile everyday with her posts. I eeked by on the Holiday challenge and figured I would match it for this one, but I will have doubled my distance by the time the month is over.
Thanks again TIMBUK2.....
(and I'm not even on this team!)

10 million meters!!! That's a meter for every person in New York City (around 8 million population). That's more meters than the length of any of the longest rivers in the world: Nile: 6.6 million meters; Amazon 6.4 million meters.

GO TEAM!!

  • Progress logged between Sat 26 Jan 06:00 GMT and Sun 27 Jan 06:00 GMT.
  • Fighting spirit is a measure of your proportional rate of ascent of the rankings. 100% means you've maintained your place in the overall rankings. If you were ranked at 200, and climbed to place 180 in the 2 days since you last logged any distance, your Fighting spirit would be ((200-180)/(200x2) + 1) x 100 = 105%. Similarly, if you were ranked at 1000 and climbed to place 950 in one day, your Fighting spirit would also be 105%.
  • A '/' means yesterday's logged distance has been split between the number of days since you last logged any metres (or day 14, when these stats were started.)


Well done to all the above for pushing TIMBUK2 onwards.

Nathaniel

We're almost there..the end..the finish line.Image

Just 4 days after today.Our job will be done for this challenge and there will be more challenges for us to meet.Think about your goals for future challenges and think about what will keep you motivated the days after this challenge has ended.

Undertake something that is difficult; it will do you good. Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
Ronald E. Osborn

I think there is another challenge coming up in March..are we up for it?
I will keep you posted.
