2025 Pawz Memorial Concept 2 Holiday Challenge
I’m 19,230 in as of this AM.
Before @pawz got sick he was starting to do some rowing machine stuff at the gym. He seemed to be getting into it. Nothing burns off the seed oils and shitty ultra processed foods like an erg !

I'm at 30K+ as of this morning. I've done 7K, 7K, 8K, & 8K.
Planning on another 8K tomorrow morning and then I'll be out of town for a couple days.
This year I'm trying rowing first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. It has worked surprisingly well.

Was thinking we should have a MHCHHA thread in the Shoppe, especially to coincide with the holiday challenge.
I tried to start ahead of pace and see if I can somehow pull off 200k this year. Also because I spent the week before Thanksgiving in London which meant too much food and not enough exercise, even though the hotel had a C2.
Have a week of work meetings + social events in 2 weeks which will get in the way of maintaining pace, but through 4 days have done 60 min, 10k, 50 min, 10k, for 45,602.

Shit mang, we just missed each other in London town. I was there from Nov 12- 17 with Mrs Snow for a quick get-a-way. Not approved by @ukdawg however as London sucks and all the culture and fun is to the the north.
That's a strong start! 200K always feel like a stretch to me mostly as I don't like to push that many miles on this old man frame on the erg. My happy place on the erg for a work out is like 30 mins, where as, I like the peloton better for the 60 min zone 2 stuff.

You are not wrong.
Put it this way, if you have only been to New York City, would you say you have seen America? Or if you have only been to Paris, would you say you have seen France?
London doesn't suck, but it's only worth one visit. Time to join the big-time boys and come visit UK Dawg.

People forget I've spent a lot of time in Cambridge and Henley in an official capacity representing the University of Washington. I've left London!!

Oh dayum, I rolled into Heathrow super late on the 15th (daytime flight! no jetlag at all) and didn't leave until the 21st.
Past 30 mins the erg gets annoying & boring, no doubt. I don't usually go beyond a 10k but to get to 200k I'll probably have to.

We could have had a pint!!!

I've made it to 71,602 after an 8K this morning. Crossing 100k this week should be good. Then It's Hard the week after and as we get close to Xmas if there is a push towards 200k.
-
I just got home after 2 days and pulled 2K, putting me over 40K. Planning 8K+ each of the next 4 days. Depending on how tomorrow and Friday go, I'll bump up to 10K+ Saturday and Sunday.

I'm the 3 place loser in the competition and I've lost to CAL 3 times in my career!
I did a 1K warm and 6K at 22 s/m this AM. 26,320 in thus far. Sad.
Need to see where @BearsWiin is at. That guy used to pull like 2 hrs of steady state at the gym and rack up massive distances.
