Greetings all.  At different times I’ve talked with many of you about the performances that I do on weekends.  I’m with an act called the Tortuga Twins that performs at Renaissance Festivals across the states.  This is why I’m gone almost every weekend, especially lately.

As many of you know, there’s a festival up near Concord that’s currently running.  The Tortuga Twins do perform at this festival, but it’s a different team (the original guys).  But as luck would have it, one of them is traveling to Florida with two other new guys.  So I get to perform the entire weekend at my home festival.

So if you’ve ever been curious about it.  Check out the Carolina Renaissance Festival.  And look for the Tortuga Twins act in the program.  We have five shows telling four different stories (one repeat).

Oh, and if you do want to go, hit any Harris Teeter’s customer service desk.  They have tickets for $1 less than you’d pay at the gate.

Thanks Coach, for letting me put this up!!

Stay on target!  Stay on target!

So close guys, another amazing day on the rowers yesterday.  We were on pace for a million through about the 15th of this month.  Then we started slacking off a little bit.  But the last few days we’ve really dug in, and now it’s almost a cake walk to the finish line.   Let’s finish this up in style!

Progress charts and source spreadsheets.

Meters needed today: 19,151!!!

Awesome job yesterday, everyone!  We put in 71,743 meters!  Definitely helped catch us up to where we need to be.  Two more days, we can do it!  One million meters is easily within our grasp!

Also, a great shout-out to Will Githmark!  This little man spent almost an hour on the rower yesterday and logged 8,000 Meters!!

Progress charts and source spreadsheets.

Meters needed per day:  40,600!!

Will putting in his time on the rower. 8,000 meters worth of time. WOW!!!

Okay, we fell just shy of the needed meters yesterday.  But it was a great effort.  We had 19 rowers, 18 of which put in 1k or more.  Five put in over 5k each!  We’re close.  Coach put up 1k as part of the workout today, so let’s get it done!

Needed daily: 52,300 Meters.

Well, there is good news and bad news.  The good news is that there was a sheet of rowing results from 1/23 that was hiding.  It had quite a few meters on it, so I’ve added it.  The bad news is that we only got in 36K meters yesterday.  After adding in the missed meters and yesterday, we now need 52K meters every day for the next four days.  Now aren’t you glad I found that missing sheet?  Get on those rowers!

Okay guys, it’s time to dig in if we’re going to make a million.  Five days left, 290k meters to go!  That means we need about 58,000 meters a day for the next five days!  This can be done!  We’ve fallen off the pace the past week or so, but we can pick it back up.  I know I’ll be putting on a 5k every night.  Just gonna make myself do it.  Do you have it in you?

 Progress charts and source spreadsheets.

Well, looks like our original 500K goal wasn’t quite ambitious enough.  One million meters is within our reach.  I need to get yesterdays and today’s numbers, but after Tuesday, we were only 37K short of a one million pace!  Let’s be sure to get on those rowers and get in some meters!  Wouldn’t want to fall just short, now would we? :: grin ::
