Bryan’s January Challenge
Yeah, Coach made me put my name to it. Maybe he doesn’t think we’re up to the challenge? The holidays are upon us, and that means cookies, ham, eggnog, alcohol, and other lovely “zone-friendly” (yeah right) goodies. So it would be a good idea for us to put in a little extra effort come January to help burn off those calories, don’t you think?
The challenge is simple. In one month, the gym will row 500,000 meters.  We’ll have a clipboard up on the whiteboard, and every time you finish a row, write down your name, meters, and time. All rowing counts, be it warm-up, in a WOD or just for giggles. I’ll update our website every other day or so with our current distance.
In case you’re wondering, that comes out to 16,129 meters per day. All it will take is 16 of us rowing 1,000 meters and change a day!
The gauntlet has been thrown down, let’s see what you’ve got! Hey, it can’t hurt any more than the burpee challenge, right? :: grins ::
Progress Spreadsheet Let me know if there are any errors in here that need to be corrected. Sometimes it’s hard to read people’s handwriting.

Dave and I are definitely in! But in addition Concept 2 has issued a challenge of it’s own. From Feb 9-15 you must row 14,000 meters. The challenge is individual! That’s Concept 2′s idea of a Happy Valentine’s Day!

Something is seriously wrong with you guys! But my waistline thinks I could use the challenge, so I’ll do my best to add to the daily numbers. Then can I have soda??????

I’ve been out of it for too long so this will serve as a punishing reminder to not slack, holidays or not. IN!!!

Great job guys, we’re hugging that one million pace! Let’s see if we can get ahead in the next couple days.
And in case you’re wondering, Mike Rose is in the lead with over 34k meters!
