Hip. Hip. Hooray! For our boy, Mr Lootsma β¦ Who again β¦ has rowed fast β¦ and again β¦ has rowed far β¦ to reach his Second Million Metres for the season.
Tako -

Thatβs excellent going, or, as you are a polylinguist, in Yorkshire, they would say, β Tako, lad, thatβs reet grand. "
And now next to arrive β¦ we have Michael Smyth β¦ who coming to us as a new member, has already rowed over Two Million Metres for the season.
Michael -

Thank you for the addition of your metres - they are a whopping contribution and boost to the Team Affiliation Standings.
Michael, welcome to Free Spirits. I do hope that being a member of the club will provide you with plenty of exercise, satisfaction and fun. Erg on.

I see that Paul Humphries ( he was 54 on the Meterboard ) has left Free Spirits. This must have happened sometime after I had checked out the MB earlier this morning. Yesterday, he had reached just over 1,000,000 metres for the season.
Best Wishes Paul.

David Penlington β¦ from the south west β¦ has rowed β¦ with such zip and such zest β¦ to reach One Million Metres for the season.
David -
x 1,000,000
Thank you very much for the myriad amount of metres that you have contributed towards the Team Affiliation Standings.
Well done David and I hope that when you are not rowing you will be enjoying another summer season of cycling.
She ( thatβs me
) cannot hide her β¦ delight β¦ for David Schneider β¦ as he reaches Five Million Metres for the season.
David -
x 5,000,000
Again, many thanks and applause, for the splendid amount of metres that you have contributed towards the Team Affiliation Standings.
David, thank you also for being such a marvellous inspiration.
I knew β¦ that a young erger from Troon β¦ would soon β¦ reach Three Thousand Metres for the season.
Guy -

I would also like to repeat my thanks to you for all the effort that must go into producing your marvellous meterage for the Team Affiliation Standings. Such a lot of hard work.

In no time all β¦ Graham Paull β¦ has reached One Million Metres for the season.
Graham -
x 1,000,000
A very warm welcome to Free Spirits Graham, I do hope that being part of the club, will bring you great pleasure and satisfaction.
A very warm welcome also, to all your lovely metres, which are a substantial boost to the Team Affiliation Standings.
With energetic intent β¦ Oliver Leeds β¦ from the county of Kent β¦ has reached One Million Metres for the season.
Oliver -
x 1,000,000
Rob Brittin β¦ from the Emerald Isle β¦ has rowed β¦ mile upon mile upon mile β¦ to reach Two Million Metres for the season.
Rob -
x 2,000,000
Oliver and Rob, many thanks to you also for your valuable contributions to the Team Affiliation Standings.
Itβs not only Oliver and Rob of course, who need to be praised for all the time, effort and sometimes, sheer determination that has gone into their erging. An extra special thank you to all club members who have been able to row this season. Your meterage has played a part ( it all adds up ) in keeping us in unassailable, second place on the The Team Affiliation Standings.
An extra special mention to those of you who are having to cope with illness, both mental and physical and injury, either long or short term. I do hope that you are making some progress ( Ian Bee, Juergen and at the moment a slightly wonky Plummy ). I know that for some of you, it's not easy when your motivation is at a very low ebb and you have to take things one day at a time.
As I only look occasionally at the Training Thread, would it be possible to move the Injuries Thread to the Main Forum?

Joi Bear is beyond compare β¦ as she becomes the first of our wonderful ladies to reach Six Million Metres for the season.
Joi -

Thank you again Joi for all your magnificent metres - they have all been such a β cracking β contribution to the Team Affiliation Standings.
Joi, we are so lucky to have you as a member of Free Spirits. Take care and best wishes and good health to you.
Ernest Poku β¦ is due β¦ plenty of applause β¦ for reaching One Million Metres for the season.
Ernest -

Many thanks for all your hard earned metres, they are a much appreciated contribution to the Team Affiliation Standings.
Ernest, I do hope that you will continue to enjoy using the erg in order to maintain your health and fitness levels.
Weight wise β¦ I canβt help thinking β¦ is Colin Brinkman shrinking
β¦ due to his tremendous rowing feats that have resulted in him rapidly reaching Two Million Metres for the season.
Colin -

Thank you also Colin for your β mad β
β¦ but marvellous, metre munching contributions towards the Team Affiliation Standings.
Colin, much admiration for your impressive performance. Be careful though that you donβt overdo things, as we all know that sometimes, the erg can be an unforgiving beast. Take care.

Thanks, Jill. I try to make sure I listen to my body, but I have been known to overdo things in the past. Also, not really shrinking. To quote Sophia Loren, "Everything you see I owe to spaghetti."
Cheers,
Colin

Thank you Colin.
Before I shed the pounds in order to get back down to a healthy weight, I not only owed everything to spaghetti but quite a few other comestibles as well.
To not quite quote the late, great Eric Morecambe, β I had all the right curves β¦ but not necessarily in all the right places. "
After leapfrogging over me ( and quite a few others ) β¦ and landing on twenty three β¦ please give a well deserved thank you, to our newest Free Spirit, Eric Anderson, who reached One Million Metres for the season on January 12th.
Eric -

A huge β Hello β from everyone and thank you for the benefit of your myriad metres, they are a very beneficial addition to the Team Affiliation Standings.
Eric, I do hope that you will enjoy being a member of the club.

John -

Congratulations John - your 18,560,774 lifetime metres are as impressive as your C2 membership of nineteen years.

Fred and
Koene. However, at least that allows me to tell you all, that Fred Koene has reached One Million Metres for the season.
Fred -

Great going Fred, especially as you have attained your 1 million target for the season with plenty of time to spare.
The Metreboard Radar is flickering β¦ which tells me that young Ian Pickering has reached One Million Metres for the season.
Ian -

Well done Ian - from reading your profile, you are obviously still, β addicted to erging β . Row on. Row strong.
With thousands β¦ two hundred and twenty β¦ IIse Van Oyen β¦ has rowed more than plenty β¦ to become our second accomplished young lady to reach Three Million Metres for the season.
IIse -

Thatβs a marvellous achievement, IIse - I think your profile comments are more eloquent β¦ and I quote, β Row row row that boat! β .
Tremendous applause for Dwayne β¦ who Iβm sure is all set to gain β¦ his Ten Million Metre Medal β¦ Because β¦ he has now reached Nine Million Metres for the season.
Dwayne -

Another awe-inspiring effort Dwayne.
Thank you so much, John, Fred, Ian, IIse and Dwayne for the munificent amount of metres that you have contributed towards the Team Affiliation Standings.

Yes - thank you Jill for looking after this thread - even with the dreadful puns (although Chatt-erg-ley was pretty clever to be honest). I actually call it lots of things but not many that could be repeated here
