I made it around the world!

I finished my first lap around the world last night!

According to the data from the NASA web site, the equitorial circumference of the Earth is 40,075,036 m.
Last night I made it to 40,075,136 m.

So here the details (I love numbers - what can I tell you):
days: 5205
mean min/day: 30.78
mean min/row: 43.17
mean meter/day: 7699.35
mean meter/row: 10799.01
cumulative time/500 m: 1:59.9260
actual rows: 3711

As an orthodox Jew I can't row on the Sabbath or Holidays. (There are other days when I might not row, e.g. on vacation, sick, fast day, don't feel like it, etc., but I am allowed to row those days.) So accounting for the days I can't row:
days: 4315
mean min/day: 37.13
mean meter/day: 9287.40

I have also done every challenge, on-line or for purchase, that C2 has had. (On the Terra Vitæ game I did the whole map, needing to do some pieces twice as I didn't think it was fair to 'fly' my erg to the beginning of an undone piece.)

So now I start the 2nd lap

That is a lot of meters, David!

Having just got through 10,000,000 (six weeks short of five years) I thought I was doing well. But you've been going quicker than me for your 14+ years.

Well done. Nice distance.

There's a fella in my town who's trying to make your distance in less than three years, but he's clearly certifiably mad.

Wow, that's fifty times my meters! Awesome!

I hope to get up there to 10 million plus meters one day as well - good work and keep pulling!
