Question re March Madness challenge

Post by John Hendrie » March 7th, 2011, 12:13 pm

I am participating in the March Madness challenge and am tracking the honors board. I am curious how Jack Nunn of Manhattan Beach CA has achieved one day more of being on pace than the days have elapsed in March. Today (March 7) he has hit the target 8 times. I know it is not a time zone thing as he and I are in the same zone (time that is, not physical fitness)

SkiErg perhaps? Jack probably has access to both and the March Madness system might count them as separate.

Might be wrong datetime on his PM, which kind of puts the guy into his own timezone.

Another thing is kind of strange for me. There are 20 pages of people with just one 10,000m Day on a 10,000m Progress Board. How can they be on course for the challenge? There is no way they can still do 25 days - there are not enough days in March!

Not likely. Jack is running a business training people, using C2 indoor rowers as his training tool. I'm sure that he keeps his equipment in proper shape.

I wondered that as well but until midnight March 8 it was still possible to row 24 more days in March thereby yielding 25 days total. If you check now (7:00am March 9 PST) you will see that the minimum to reach 25 is 2 days rowed to date

Yes, you're right. My math was really poor here :)

Thanks for explanation!
