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

[kpaine]

I have a busy day ahead, so I'm going to knock out the 1 minute and the 1,000m rows. So that I can rerow the 1 min again later in the week.

A heptathlon! What a great challenge to get back in the saddle on! I feel better after my break and am anxious to get back into regular rowing.

BTW I got tested for the Covid-19 antibodies and it came back positive, so as I suspected I did have the virus during the Spring Series (that really fun new challenge). So that explains the heart racing and the lethargic feeling. At least mine was a relatively mild case. I just hope it gives me immunity to any future exposure. Thanks for all of the support Lunies. You guys are an inspiration and a great group of teammates.

WOW Jodi that’s pretty amazing. I have a feeling lots of people have had it that don’t yet know they had it. So you participated in Spring VIII with the corona and still kicked butt! Your a beast. Good news is your now bullet proof and can come and go as you please.

I work in an “essential” industry so my life didn’t change much during the lockdown periods. I have stayed away from my parents and older people who are higher risk. I have gone through a couple periods during this where I felt poor and the glands in my neck were swollen. I would check my temp a couple times each day and never ran a fever so I was never tested. I wrote it off to allergies, because we were going through the allergy season in the south. I would like to get an antibody test when they become more widely available.

At any rate, good job kicking ‘rona’s butt!!!

10K done!!! Not my PB but the goal was a sub 40min 10k and just barely got it.

Glad to have that in the rear view. Guess I’ll see how I feel tomorrow to determine what race that will be. My legs are burning!

That's impressive!

I talked my 12 year old daughter, Maddie, into giving this heptathlon a try. She did the 1 minute on the bike thinking it would be easy. She cranked out a 1:55.1 pace. I was so proud of her. She typically rides at around a 3 minute pace. The competition bug bit her.

New 5k PR. Previous time was 18:16 set in October of 2017. I finally got over my mental block!

Wow!
Congratulations!

So what’s everyone rowing on Monday? I am going to knock out the 10k first thing. I just hope I can turn in a competitive time.

I have a busy day ahead, so I'm going to knock out the 1 minute and the 1,000m rows. So that I can rerow the 1 min again later in the week.

That's great! We'll be glad to cheer her on for the other events, too!

That's a great one to have in the bag, well done Ken! I recommend you go for something slow, or short, or both!

It was cold and dark and I was not feeling that great, so I postponed the 10k in favour of the 20 minutes. I thought I was not taking it seriously, but in fact beat the pb for 5k I set during the Spring challenge by nearly 15 seconds along the way! At least the nonathlon will let me scale it down, I really don't want to do that again.

(Sorry about the length of the post, I'm trying out RowPro, it records at very small intervals by default).

I can't go through the week putting in maximal efforts, so I ticked off the 10 minutes as well at my normal pace as a cool down. These challenges are deadly!

Glad you're back and feeling better, Jodi. Look forward to seeing new PBs from you.

[normadelaney]

Yesterday I recorded a PB on the 10,000 m: 53:46.2 min (2:41.1 ave split). My previous, back in Dec. 2013 (before all the years of chemo), was 55:25.5 min. This is the longest I've rowed without rest breaks since that time. It ranks me #1 of 4 in the little old lady category (at least until more results come in, haha).

[Jodi]

Glad to have you back Jodi!

Thanks! I couldn’t stay away from you Lunies for long You’re like my long distance friends and I like to keep up with what’s going on so we don’t lose our connection
