Here's the announcement:
The November To Remember Challenge is a 250 km distance race with a
time limit of 10 Nov, 2007 to 10 Dec, 2007. Here's a chance for US
residents to work off the coming "Thanksgiving Poundage" and for the
rest to prepare for the "Christmas" rush. Results should be posted
with the challenge name NTR2007.
In order to compete in the challenge you must have a rowing machine
with a monitor for distance completed. Water Rower SIII and SIV, and
Concept 2 rowing machines are acceptable so far. If you want to row
with a different make of rowing machine, please ask in a post to the
group.
Each competitor in the challenge will row the distance in many rowing
sessions between the start date and midnight on the end date in their
local timezone. Each rowing session should be logged in the Database
at the following URL:

This is a reminder that when we run contests on this group, we post in
C2 meters (or km). Here's how to calculate:
If you have an SIV then C2 meters = SIV distance * 0.89282.
If you have an SIII then C2 meters = SIII distance * 1.43960.
Competitor's are urged to regularly report their progress so that
others who may wish to "catch" a leader have a fair chance to do so.
People may post questions or comments to the group regarding this
challenge.
Thanks to all participants.
