I took Friday off and the Mrs. and I went camping for a long weekend. And low and behold I could fit the C2 in the back of my crewcab so i hauled it with me and got a 10K both Friday and Saturday mornings.<br /><br />After getting back home and unpacking I just finished a 1/2 marathon. As I mentioned last week Tuesdays are bad for me to try a long row so I did it today.<br /><br />It's interesting watching everyone log their meters. Randy and I were leapfrogging each other for a while now he's pulled away from me. I don't know what got into Mike the last 10 days to two weeks but he's logged some serious meters and has blown past me like I was standing still.<br /><br />Congratulations to all on climbing the rankings. We're currently less than 100K meters behind Dutch RowPros. I believe most of that group live in the Netherlands so they'll be logging their meters before most of us even climb out of bed. <br /><br />And welcome to the new members. <br /> </td></tr></table><br />Congrats S<br />on some serious meters, great weekend log and while you were camping besides! congrats on the 1/2 marathon too! That's why we jumped so far ahead so fast. Thanks<br />Mary<br />

Back down to 11th when I checked - but the cloggies will be rowing in Yurp daytime, so I'm sure our mainly US team can get back our rightful 10th place later in the day.<br /><br />Checked our placing in metres per member, and we're down at 73rd, but the good news is there are lots or teams very close ahead of us, so doing some big metres for Solstice will jump us up a good few places. <br /><br />How's the weight going everybody. I'm now down 7 kilos (15.4 lbs) since starting mid April. And my resting heart rate is the lowest I can ever remember at 52.<br />

<span style='color:green'>Hi, Team,<br /><br />Congrats on all the recent meters! I worked a 12 hour shift yesterday and didn't row, but I got my 6000 meters in today. I felt like a slug, but I wasn't much slower than normal. I had a bad arthritis day yesterday and I wonder if I was hurting because I didn't row.<br /><br />My plan for tomorrow is to stay in my rowing clothes all day and clean house in between Summer Solstice sessions.<br /><br />Mary--I love your signature file. The team slogan is great, but I particularly likek the events and times you listed. </span>

As for my signature I wanted to feel like a real rower but there was no way I was going to put my real times down. I saw some of those sigs and they do a 2K in what I do a 500.

Congrats to all the rowers - we are really adding up the meters. I noticed we have moved up to 10th place.<br /><br />I took a day off from rowing yesterday and only did 2,000 and 500 this evening. They were pb for me though I won't mention the times as they are pretty pitiful. I've noticed that when I really concentrate on my form I can really lower my times. <br /><br />Keep up the good work<br /><br />corgimom

My husband (SpaCityBulldog) just set me up for this team. I don't row often. Maybe 2-3 times a week for about 30 minutes each so I hope all of you can use what meters I do get.<br /><br />Martha
