Well done! :shock:

I have 62K left to complete the challenge and am dismayed that I probably won't make it at my current rate.

Finished the 200k challenge with a 6k today. I did my first HM on Nov 27 and it was not pretty.

WooHoo!! Finished the 200K today, despite being on the road and no where near an erg over 1/2 the days since Thanksgiving. Threw in a PB 5K (20:07) and 10K (41:03) too boot! :D

Haven't been in the forum for awhile, nice job everybody!

New to the concept2. Just completed the 200K challenge despite the flu and only access to machine on weekdays.
Great feeling of accomplishment. Good luck to other newbies!
