For the last two years, I rowed each day of December (2020, 2021) by starting with a base number of meters on the first of the month and adding that amount each successive day. The base was 325 in 2020 and 375 in 2021. As I noted last year, I wanted to do 400 as a base this year so I could rank a few workouts–the 2K, 6K, and 10K–so that’s where I started....

To make it easy for them I set up a Dockerfile and config for use with OpenResty, connection to Auth0 with OIDC. The following is based on the guidance in this post as well as the lua-resty-openidc docs....
