almost there

Well, with just 3 days left for the Concept2 Holiday Challange, I think I have a good shot at making the goal.  Last week, we started spinning a few days a week, and that made it a bit more difficult to stay on pace, as we were spending a few nights a week spinning rather then rowing.

But, as we’ve stuck to it, we’ve been able to pick up our pace a bit, and it’s become easier to put in the longer workouts too.  (My personal best is a little over a hour, and just over 13K in that time)

But, we are down to the final 3 days left (we have till midnight on Wednesday to get our meters in), and I have just over 20K to go.  That means I have ~90 minutes of rowing left to reach my goal, although I’d like to see if I can beat the goal by just a bit (because, coming in a few dozen meters over the goal is just plain lame..<G>)

The truely shocking thing about this whole effect was seeing how many people reached the first 100K within the first few days (currently, 25 days into the 28 day challange, there are FOUR people with over 1,000,000 meters rowed, and the people with the highest is sitting at 1,429,000 meters.   I don’t think the term ‘challange’ really applied to these people)
