Some news from Concept2 about their upcoming individual challenge, the 2017 Concept2 Holiday Challenge:

Unlike most Concept2 Challenges, the Holiday Challenge demands a lot from us from the very beginning: 6,451.61 meters-per-day, on average, to accumulate 200,000 meters over the 31-day Concept2 Holiday Challenge—which is a lot if you're not used to high-mileage rowing. But you can do it!

Today is day one of Concept2's annual Halloween individual rowing challenge, the 2017 Skeleton Crew Challenge! It's simple, on the nose, and fun: row at least 31,000 meters between October 25th and October 31st—Halloween! 

2017 Concept2 Fall Team Challenge TallIf you have a Concept2 indoor rower (AKA rowing ergometer, AKA rowing machine) or a SkiErg, you can compete! Even if you just have one at the gym, you can be a global competitor. You can go from pulling hard in a room or at the gym alone to becoming part of a virtual team.

I have fallen off the horse big time. In fact, in Reddit's Fitness subreddit, redditors are so sick of people like me. I've had a terrible failure to launch.

I’m actually really proud of this. Hard work. A million meters rowed. Next: 2 million meters! 

It's already the 12th and I haven't even started the 2016 Concept2 Virtual Team Challenge to join my teammates on Team Grotto -- but I shall today.

The best thing for me to do is to row at least 10,000 meters every day for the rest of my life; and, the hardest thing to do is to continue rowing between Concept2 Online Challenges .

The good news is that I rowed more than 100,000 meters during the 2015 Concept2 Holiday Challenge --  157,762 meters -- but the bad news is that I came short of the 200km that I wanted to accrue before midnight last night.

You know how I thought it was a good idea to try out CrossFit in the middle of the Concept2 Holiday Challenge? Well, it wasn't.
