The Concept2 Holiday Challenge is kicking our rear

Unbeknownst to you, Jean had sent you a front row ticket to the gun show, you lucky devil.

UPDATE!

For all of the ergers we have, we are woefully behind in the standings.

Let’s go ahead and get this done for the PBC team.  And by the way, for every person who completes at least 100k during the challenge, Concept2 will donate $.02 for each kilometer (1000 meters) you accumulate to your choice of the following organizations:

• Vermont Disaster Relief Fund
• American Red Cross Disaster Relief (International)
• Unicef—Emergency Relief Programs

Here’s how you sign up …

1. You must have an Online Logbook at concept2.com (it’s FREE!) and all of your meters must be entered into your Online Logbook. If you don’t already have one, visit the Online Logbook home page, click Register under New User and follow the directions. Kids Challenge participants need to set up an individual logbook (using a parent’s email address is fine).
2. Under the Profile tab, enter your current mailing address. This is to ensure we have your correct mailing address for mailing your pin (see below for how to qualify).
3. After you row/ski, record your meters in your Online Logbook. The Online Logbook automatically calculates your meters during the challenge.
4. Visit the Challenges page in your Online Logbook. When you’ve reached your goal, the Challenges page of the Online Logbook automatically recognizes your achievement and displays instructions for claiming your rewards.

The other day I looked over at my husband and I said, “Big Papa (because he likes it when I call him Big Papa) ….”  I said, “Big Papa what we need around these parts is a little more ergin’.”  He slowly put down a large sticky jug of syrup and  mumbled something about being on the erg since the end of baseball season.  Just gave me more incentive to kick his baseball butt out of there!  Git! Because guess what folks?! (Cue banjo ….)
