Here's the original post:
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/273284-row-the-world-game-starts-1st-july-still-open

Here's how I understand it:
I will get a spreadsheet from the guy running the challenge. This spreadsheet takes the number of calories that each person burns per day and plugs it into a formula which then says how many miles those calories equate to. So, for example - say as a team, we burned 4500 calories in one day (which I think it's an underestimate, but let's just go with it). So I will plug that into the spreadsheet and it takes that and divides it by how many calories are burned rowing 1 mile at a slow pace (he calculated it to be about 50 cals). So, that would mean that for that day, our team rowed 90 miles.

Each day, I report to him and he will update the master spreadsheet, as well as our position on the map:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=204655860575059420912.0004a634fce3156d39f06&msa=0&ll=50.277932,-4.260635&spn=0.127913,0.308647

The first team get back to the starting point (which is in England), will be the winning team.

So, all you guys have to do is work your little tushies off! Burn those calories! (Don't hurt yourselves, though. That would be bad, mkay?) And then at the end of the day, report the number of cals that you burned to me. I think this challenge will be a great motivator for all of us to workout better, harder, longer. I know it will be for me!! :-)

So, I think that's it. If anyone has any other questions on how it works, feel free to ask!!

Where in Germany do you live?? My grandmother is from Germany - we still have family in Augsburg. She's actually going back there for 10 days in September. I wish wish wish that I could go with her, but it's just not in the cards right now.
