Free Spirits Rowing

Well done Tako! I know you've had a tough season so it must be a relief to get another landmark tucked away. I've updated the chart (although moving you to just above Jill upset all her Flamingos and they flapped away all over the place - so I had to round them all up again )

Thank you Dave!
Not sure whether I wrote it earlier, but I believe it would be more fair to do it like in the CTC, that if people have the same score, the one who came first is tops, but of course the competitive part in me loves to get as high as possible

Sorry Jill, I hope the birds recovered well from seeing the Flying Dutchman popping up in front of them.

Finally landed on 29 million meters lifetime today

Dave, could I have a gold star please?

Very nice Peter

Thank you Peter

Back from my travels so gold star belatedly applied - well done sir.

I've picked up a head cold and a pulled muscle in my back (maybe after 5 hours driving then picking up heavy cases from the car) so any thoughts about putting in a end of season big stint have evaporated for now.

My final row of the season today has landed me on 2 million metres for the season and total lifetime distnace of 17 million metres. Please can I have my gold star

Gold star awarded sir. Tremendous season at 2 millions and the lifetime total is to be applauded. Nice work -

It's been a long time getting from 2 million to 3 million, but finally I am there!
May I have a gold star please Plummy?
Louise

I hear what you are saying about the long time between millions - but you got there and so well done for that.

Gold star awarded, shame it didn't move you up a place or three though. That said I might be removing some non-active names soon so you may shuffle up a couple of places that way.

Hi Plummy, today’s 50k took me to just over 20MM, so please can I have another star 28 months in coming, hopefully the next will be a bit quicker (we’ll slower, but in less time!

Many thanks

Iain

Thank you Plummy!
And Iain, 20 M, wow . Congrats.
Louise

Louise, you are seeing the benefit of when I was training at least 5 times a week and regularly over 80k per week, now the millions have been hard won! Well done on your 3MM

50k - nice work Iain . I bet that brought back some memories. Any mummification of the hands going on this time?

Star awarded - onwards to the next 20 million

Many thanks Plummy, it actually felt harder than the 24hr tandem and 111k (although no stomach issues or having to row on in the midst of a sea of lasagne eating!), although it may just be that I have blocked out the worst bits. Mummified my hands as usual, but with less success as out of blister tape so had to use strapping tape, the handle of my erg is now coated with glue! Well, on the plus side is I probably won't be able to handle down now! At that rate I will hit next 20Mm around my 100th birthday! I think your lead over me is secure!

Finally squozed out another million and of course landed on it exactly (got to keep the standards up ). I might make 50 million by the time I'm 67 at my current rate - just in time for retiring

Well done Plummy. Legendary!

Nice one Dave your a star matey.

Well done Dave.
I had every good intention of hitting this one on the nose, but twas not to be. Standard star when you have a mo please Dave.

All done Ian - 5 million since I last updated you so you've jumped quite a few places.

Well done on the ongoing tremendous metreage being put in

Cheers Dave

I finally made the big 10! May I please have a gold star?

Thanks,

Allen

Gold star awarded Allen. Congrats on the 10 million landmark - that's a biggie.

Maybe worth celebrating with a T-shirt from C2?

I’m ordering it now

May I please have another ️ star as I passed the 16MM today?

Couldn’t make it a gold as I was in the middle of a tough 4x750m at 1:44ish
