I am an avid canoeist and wilderness canoe traveler. I row to stay in condition for paddling and portaging on hundred mile or more trips. Where I live the winters are long and paddling season is short. I find rowing is excellent for maintaining upper and lower body strength, endurance, and joint flexibility.

My son "loaned" us his Model D in fall 2007, and has since had to buy himself another! I try to row every day, watching movies, which works well for me. Team LUNA-tics is very motivational; an interesting group of supportive people.

Woohoo! It's Kona2! I joined the Luna-Tics Team in December 2007. Bicycling is still my favorite way to see the world, yet rowing is very addictive. The team, and the challenges, helped me go farther faster - 5 MM lifetime meters (7/09).

My name is Noelle and I'm looking forward to going to the moon on my rowing machine! Once we get there, let's head to Saturn! :)
My goal for calendar year 2008 is to row 2 million meters so I can hit my 5 million meter mark (and perhaps drop a few lbs in the process).

I don't work for NASA, but I would go to the moon if I had a chance! Rowing there is the next-best thing.
I tie my rowing workouts in with training for running marathons. I ran my first marathon just before I turned 40 in 2004. Liked it so much that I set my new goal to complete 100 marathons before I die. I hope to be the oldest female on the course eventually. I figure if I keep at it long enough I will reach that goal.
Other passions include horseback riding; shooting sports; archery; fencing; Eskrima, a weapons based martial art of the Philippine Islands (more at www.HeartlandEskrimaSchool.com); good coffee and dark chocolate.
I love my Lord, Jesus Christ; my husband, Keith; my two sons, Tim and Ben; and my parents and sisters, and the rest of my family and friends, too!

I rowed the 5 seat for Santa Clara University Womens Crew from 1977-1980. I learned to scull with LBRA in the early 80's. I have truly missed rowing and now 20+ years later I love having my own Model D.
Reached my 2nd million in 09, aiming for 1.5 million in 2010. Rowing maintains my sanity.

I started rowing about three years ago but haven't rowed much in 2008. I decided to get back on the erg by completing the 200K holiday challenge this year in the 20 days I have between travel--and am overjoyed to be rowing again. I moved to Cedar Falls, Iowa, in November 2008 and hope to find some other rowers in the area. To give myself a solid goal, I joined the LUNA-tics team--rowing to the moon sounds perfectly reasonable to me!

My addiction to rowing began in 1987 when I was a freshman at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. Currently I am rowing for the New Haven Rowing Club in Oxford, CT. With the help of a crew friend, I was able to purchase my own single in 2006. However, I don't race her. My racing focus is on eights, fours, and quads.

John Longmire
|
Tampa FL USA |
Started rowing in 2005, but only half-heartedly, because I'm so busy with other "stuff." So far 2009 has been much more productive.
Other activities: road cycling, Jeep 4x4 off-roading, hiking and/or kayaking with my bride of 32 years (no, that's not her in the boat with me), shooting, model trains and, oh yeah, work. Father of five and grandfather of 8 with #9 due in December. "Don't expect me to treat you as an equal, if you demand to be treated differently."

For an "old dog" learning new tricks, the Concept 2 rower has been a valuable alternative to "pounding the pavement" during early morning jogs or cycling in the dark. Best wishes to all the LUNA-TICS striving to get back somewhere "out there."

Rowing is a great cross training exercise when it gets cold out to run. I love to do triathlons and have attempted two marathons but halfs are alot easier. I have gotten my husband and my daughter into rowing now as well on our new concept rower.

Silver Spring MD USA |
As a card-carrying luna-tic, I'm committed to returning to the Moon. So for all of you folks affilated with NASA, or are just interested in space exploration, please join me in racking up the miles to and fro from the Moon. 250,000 miles each way, so I'll need a lot of help.
I row to help relieve some of the stress that goes along with being responsible for developing robotic explorers of our Moon. Working for NASA is actually a lot of fun and a great honor, but having the chain to pull helps guide my occasional angst into improving my health. I hope you enjoy similar benefits of this magnificent obsession.
Cheers!
Matt

Adult onset athlete. Have been running half-marathons for about six years, and one marathon. Also like to swim, bike, and kayak. Got my Concept2 in February 2008, but opted mostly for outdoor pursuits through summer and fall. Climbed back on in November, and am trying to get my rankings out of the bottom quartile, and lose some weight. Love my Concept2, especially now that it is nasty outside. Would like to learn to row on water some day.

No one wants to see a photo of me on the erg, especially when I'm finished with the work-out. I have been doing the Holiday challenge for two years now and decided to keep rowing in 2009. Now that the WRC is over, I am on my way to my first million meters. I have also lost about 10 lbs. Thanks LUNA-TICS

I've been rowing for the last few years for weight control and general fitness. I've lost 25 pounds so far, and hope to double that in the next season.
In the summer I cruise on a sailboat, with a rowing dinghy and kayak for exercise.

"You see, progress is not exactly a linear onward-and-upward thing. It's more
like a thousand little tiny stops and starts. . . . There is no better time.
There is no better life stage. All you have is now; all you have is you. These
things that seem to impede you - you don't wait till they're done to start
your life. They *are* your life." --Krista, www.stumptuous.com

Starting rowing 19 December 2007. Figured if I could row to the moon I might lose a few extra pounds. Cross training to run the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile race this spring. Good luck to all!

I like doing rowing. Its fun. And I am going to try to do it every day after school. i want to row sectillion.
I just got my 5,000 and 10,000 pin for rowing. I have been rowing 2000 and got tested. I would have been faster if the chain did not fall off and I had to stop for water. We are getting a new rowing machine that has a cage so our little brother Akira does not get his fingers in the machine.
