So here's a huge dilemma for me. If for some reason I end up at 2,999,994, do I pull and log 6m? Just for the gold star?

My rational side of the brain says "Don't be silly. That would be absurd." But, my obsessive, compulsive side says "Yes, of course you'll row and log 6m in order to get the gold star, or you won't be able to sleep, or work, or otherwise function like a normal human being." :roll:

I'm pretty sure that I know which side wins :oops:

Haha, Mardix. Great!! :mrgreen: I know too which side wins. :lol:
Plummy is polishing these gold stars with so much love and passion, that it's really hard to resist. ^O^

Sidenote: Of course there's no need to do a single 6m workout, because when you really get addicted you'll see/track it way before. But in the case of any sort of "mistake", I would do the 6m session before my regular workout, upload first the 6m workout, make the screenshot and then upload the rest of the regular workout (two birds with one stone).

Twelve million up for me, but no gold stars as it was in the middle of a 4 x 2k.

Well done all.

4 Million metres. I thought that this season would be a washout due to my injury, but I have managed 430K so far (at a pace where the snails live).
I think this probably deserves a gold star Plummy.

That's an awful lot of meters. Congratulations!!!

You have more willpower than I do. I would have stopped the intervals just to take a screenshot at precisely 12 MM :D

Maybe we should get red stars for reaching an exact million while injured. :wink:

Welcome to the 2 MM club, I'm right there with you.

And I know what you mean, looking to the rowers at the top of the Lifetime Millionaires spreadsheet is definitely awe-inspiring - with an emphasis on inspiring.

What happens if we reach an exact million on the last day of a season? A platinum star, perhaps? :wink:
