Holiday Challenge - what will you do

Atorrante · Post by **Atorrante** » November 21st, 2007, 3:13 pm

I'll do a 6K every day of the 33 days holiday challenge, except for the last one. On Dec. 24 I'll do an 8K to complete exactly 200K. That's how I'll do it.

ALthough I got off to a rocky start this time (4.1k in exactly 20:00 WITH a break to drink carbs to replenish energy) as opposed to last year's holiday challenge when I started out with ~8k my first day, I still plan to make the 200k mark.

I did it on the PM2 (I hope that the Holiday Challenge allows that) on the older C2 rower. I tried that newer one (where I work at) but for some reason I didn't like them. I guess though I will have to get used to them, as I may do some rowing there.

I have back problems due to a weak core, so I'll aim for 100K this year. Next year I'll be stronger

I don't know if I have enough time but I will also try the 200k. Unfortunately I just saw (thanks to this forum) that there is this challenge

I managed to get in a 45 minute session on turkey day and a 15K (1:04:30) the Friday after. Then hit a couple of 25 minute sessions over the weekend after rowing in the quad both mornings. All were on my Model B. Having to squeeze these things in between travel for work and other obligations but going to give the 200K a shot again.

I've been rowing only about 6 weeks, but think I'm up for the 100k. I didn't even think I was going to try it until last night I finally got my meters online and noticed I was already 15k in. I think I'm going to aim for 150k, as 200k would be a longshot. Fianlly got my TV in front of the rower and did my first 7.5k tonight!

Well the 15th of December will be my last day on the erg (due to travel) and I missed the first three days (eating too many left over pies). I kind of dug myself into a hole, but always being up for a challenge I've logged 41,000 meters in the last the days. Maybe I have a shot at the 200,000 afer all. I kind of like the logo for this year. If I make it it will look good when I treat myself to my annual Holiday Challenge sweatshirt.

Today is 1/3 of the way, and 176,632 meters so far.

62000 m now.

And stuck in Russia. I will need to do 12 k per day when I am not on business trips. That will probably not work out.

I am at 187,182 meters. Tomorrow I should hit the 200K mark.

It seems that I won't be rowing at all this winter (I only got in around 4k!). I guess because I didn't have enough time, what with me working and school. Next year though, I will start again.

Today is 2/3 of the way, and 368,815 meters so far.

I am doing the 50,000 meters challenge for minors since I'm only 14. It's hard to find enough TIME to row, especially now that semester finals are coming up. It's been really fun though, I only have about 9,000 meters left, so I should be done by about Sunday. That is, if my back is better, it was hurting earlier.
