That's about right. There is no explanation that seems valid to explain just how handily they won.

I have no idea what's going to happen here in the good ol' USA tomorrow, but I'm full of hope. Please wish our nation (and the world) well as the rest of the voting public makes its way to the polls tomorrow. In the meantime, I finally got around to watching the Saturday Night Live opening with ...

What surprises me is how little people over this side of the pond are tuned into what is happening in the good old US of A and the danger that is threatened to the planet as a whole if that deplorable fascist manbaby Trump someone manages to get re-elected. I thought we were rid of him once, but we ...

It had a good run. Who knows, someone may revive it someday...

Good to hear, Plummy! Keep plugging away.

Well, I failed to be a Rowlympic rower. Too much unexpected golf this week along with some home projects that are heating up. I'd need to row near a half-marathon today to get the ones I'm missing, and I'm just not feeling that. Congrats to all that finished or will finish today! It was a cool ...

I intend to give it a run as well.

Keep it up, Carol & congrats on the new milestone. We'll patiently await your next million as you adjust to the customized new you!

Just so you know, in 31 1/2 years or so, I plan on coming after your records!

Love it! Smash 'em all, Philip!

Wow!! I'm mean; that's great for obvious reasons, but Wow!!

Hoping for the most capable of hands for your surgery, Dave.

Thanks, Peter! Wasn't sure I was going to make it this year, but then I took on the C2 April Fool challenge which boosted my numbers.

Thanks for all you do keeping this cobbled-together home of the Free Spirits running, JonT!

Jon

You are The Man! I've stuck with it through today, so I guess I'll have to find a way to finish it tomorrow. Surprisingly, today's row was a little easier than yesterday's even though I went at a little faster pace.

Hey Jon - just curious - is there a Meterboard icon waiting in the wings for the Concept2 April Fools' Challenge? It could play a small part in whether I complete this annoying challenge or not...

I wasn't even participating in the Mud Season Madness Challenge, but I got an email from Concept 2 saying I'd won their daily drawing during the challenge by rowing 10K or more on 3/29. I've got a new pair of C2 shorts on the way soon... C2 really seems like a fine company.

After a slow and wobbly 11,555 Meters today, I landed exactly on 5 Million lifetime meters. May I request a Gold Star, please?

Carole S wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 6:24 pm I am now allowed max 200 meters 2mins at a time a few times a week, very slowly and carefully like a galleon in full sail lol

Yay! Any start is a good start after what you've been through!

Damn, plummy, Fate sure can be a mf'er when it chooses who and how to "challenge" its next subject. Sorry to hear the bad news, but then I'm happy you found someone that could at least give it to you properly. Positive vibes headed across the ocean in hopes that the injection provides you at least ...

Get better soon, Dave! You're a center-piece around here, man!

Almost as if to disprove my November 23, 2023 self, I managed to cross the 200K line today!

Damn! Helluva row, sir!

Thanks for the update, Carole. I sure hope those improvements keep on keeping on! Happy Holidays from Indiana!
