LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

[bg]

just checked the results.....turns out it was 9:28:03...still very happy :}

Way to go Barbara! It is amazing the motivation that one gets in an indoor erg race. I know you are giving credit to your Lunatic friends, but I've raced in the CRASH Bs (once many moons ago - 1991 - my senior year of college) and know what an inspirational experience it can be. I hope you enjoyed the day. To have a goal of better than 12:00 and finish in under 9:30 is fantastic! I am proud of you for competing, but even prouder since you outdid your goal by such a large margin.

You deserve that treat! Enjoy!

Karyn

you are so right...it was inspirational and fun..i got to talk with the other rowers and everyone was so supportive...an amazing morning...oh i did get to see paul row and congratulate him later :}

So this is basically what the Dutchies do when the rowing track gets a bit icy... The practice for the Olympics



How many more medals will it be tomorrow?

Nice photo, crash-bg!
I didn't realize one opted to lean so far backwards ... I'd slam my head into the wall.
(I need a bigger house, obviously.)

Hooboy! We are on the very BRINK of some more million meter celebrations....hooyah...hooyah... and whoop whoop !!

Meanwhile in the Olympics, the Dutchies are dominating every other nation with their speedskating prowess...having won something like 19 of the 27 possible medals. In the women's 3000 m and 5000 m races, though, Martina Sablikova of the Czech Republic was having none of that! Ireen Wust, of the Oranje, and Martina battled it out in both races...with Sablikova getting the silver in the 3000 m, and then grabbing the gold in the 5K. I guess we are lucky on our team that Peter H took up rowing instead of skating !

Fast forward to another Challenge that's currently underway: the Concept2 military challenge....you know, that one that creates some temporary duty situations! US Navy is leading the pack, and Richard T is the TOP INDIVIDUAL ERGER out of ALL the branches and affiliation. Good stuff. Kristine and AJ are both rowing for US Army affiliates.

In just days....we're heading into a whole new set of Challenges....


Officially known as the Mudseason Challenge, we still call it March Madness here in Lunie land! As many of you know, the challenge is to row or skierg either 5K a day, or 10K a day....and naturally we have award graphics for those ! Naturally.

5K a day....give me 5 !
10 K a day ... and you get your virtual pot of gold !

Then, while we're busy with all the shamrocks, pots of gold, green moons, lucky horseshoes, and generally celebrating goodtimes at the Sham Rock beverage station, Concept2 sneaks in the last of the Team Challenges for the 2014 Erg Season....yep...it's the World Dominance Special....also known as the World Erg Challenge. We placed 2nd last year with a meter total of 24 million and some.
Starts March 15th.....

[BAZzy]

Well another weekend rolls around (almost) on this side of the time-line…slightly overcast in Sydney, but a reasonable weekend weather wise coming up – beach weather, so looking forward to getting out on the water for a paddle, which makes a pleasant change scenery wise to the C2 Rower in “the shed” although currently doing intervals as part of the marathon training program, so more of that planned!

Good weekend to all, Baz
