Okay have a couple of people looking for a team. Anyone else want to join and see if we can cobble together a band of enthusiastic and friendly crew to kick *kitten* in this challenge?

Message me or reply here.

Oh and any suggestions for a team name greatly appreciated!

    Worldwide, its an online challenge. Every 50kcal burned equal one mile rowed. This should explain it better:

    Also, I am going out of town this weekend. Should I still try to get in touch to give calories burnt each day over the weekend, or can I give the info when I get back?

    I like Reel Winners!

    I think if I miss someones calories one day I can add them the following day.

    As for vacations, heck unless you're going away for weeks and weeks (which would be fab!) any contributions until you go would be welcome!
