We loved doing the rest portion so much, that we mixed in a few burpees for variety’s sake. After her initial admonition I was actually scared to drop the weights and made it through the first round without doing so.

I still prefer deadlifts. Thank you Mike Hom for good coaching on those Monday evening.

You picked about the right weight for the snatches. They were supposed to be a little challenging, but you should’ve been able to cycle them pretty quickly, which it looks like you did.

It’s great to have some participants from afar!

By the way, hi from San Antonio guys! I’ve got so many options of selectorized equipment and squat racks to do curls in here at the Fort Sam Houston gym. It’s great!

Glad I can do them at all, nurturing a shoulder injury.

I really liked the write-up on glycemic index and glycemic load. Way to put in practical terms that can help people make better food choices. Looking forward to part 2!

Team – here are the numbers and the challenge that lies before us.

Where we are: 3,537,708
Where we want to be: 4,000,000
Delta: 462,292
Days left: 3
Average meters a day needed: 154,097

If all 50 of our team rowed a total of 3K a day each day we would make it…anything above that would be gravy.

We have gone way beyond our own expectations, especially for a bunch of hacks…except for “POS” who I recently found out used to row the Nordic shipping lanes in his youth as a summertime job when his family moved there for work.

Tabitha, Cynthia, Michelle, and Jeff are all within 15,000 meters of 100,000

Anyhow…the question is “Do we want this?” Do we want to shatter our own perception of what is capable…what was capable? I think we…I know I…shuddered at the thought of doing 1,000,000 meters…now we are on the doorstep of 4,000,000 meters…with that in mind I know I can row 3,000 meters a day for the next three days…can you???

Last thing…those of you who rowed on Friday night, please email me IF YOU HAVEN’T your meters so that I can update our numbers…I think many of you update on your own, but I am fairly certain there are a number of you that need to get your numbers to me. Again, email them to atowle@me.com .

Thanks for all of your support.

Great Job Rowing everyone. Looks like we will have a bunch of 100K rowers. Great accomplishment by those and I am impressed with the effort of everyone on the team. 4 million meters is within our reach, we ned everyone to pledge to pull some meters for the next 3 days…. Focus for 3 days and then no more erg for a while!

I wanted to let you, and others, know Ben & Jerry’s is unique amongst ice cream brands in its exceptionally high anabolic properties and low GL. HTH. 😉
