This looks like so much fun! My one question is for Tuesday’s task of rowing, is it the distance that matters or the number of strokes. I only ask because I used to row and you really want to use more force and fewer strokes. Sorry, I’m really not trying to be petty.

  Hmmm. Good question, Patty! Do rowing machines typically measure distance? I believe last year we did stroke count…
  
  Thanks!

    They typically do measure distance, in meters, you can usually pick between a few displays and distance is one of them. I’m really not trying to be petty, I was just curious.

When I click on the button for the master event schedule it takes me to the 2011 feb olympics for shrinking jeans.

  Also when I click on the report your results in daily that is highlighted above it takes you to a 2011 form. I was just looking around to see if I could see what the events were, etc.
