I don’t recall Steve Redgrave being quoted on that thread. Perhaps you are thinking of Xeno. With all due respect to either man, winning Olympic medals does not prove knowledge of physiology. With all due respect, if I'm taking a physiology exam, I'll follow Mr. Caviston's advice. If I'm competing ...

I met Brad Lewis at CRASH-B's in the early 90's. I was in college at the time and didn't even know who he was, but I thought "Assault" looked interesting and I bought a copy from some guy standing at a table at the side of the gym. That guy was Brad Lewis. He autographed it for me and chatted with m...

My opinion is that the statement is totally ridiculous.

10k of running is "roughly equivalent" to 10k on the erg? They're not both exactly 10k?

I thought the correlation between big feet was with something else...

I am happy that we all have the freedom of choice to do this and we do.

Who are you and what have you done with John Rupp?

Ha, that's funny! The same can be said about anyone who feels the need to row lightweight.

Antagonizing overly sensitive lightweights is the point!

So what was Dwayne's time?

Weight is considered in all other sports, Of course its not. How is weight considered in basketball, baseball, hockey, swimming, running, figure skating, squash, ballroom dancing, tiddlywinks, etc. etc. Weight is considered in only a small minority of sports like collegiate rowing, wrestling, and b...

Which is exactly what they are. Protecting people's "feelings" should not be what rowing is about.

Amen brother.

I believe Matthias S. refused to row at the CRASH-B's for a few years about a decade ago because he thought he should be rewarded for making the trip and potentially breaking the world record. Imagine if a cash prize of $20k or more was offered for WR rows at CRASH-B's. You'd see many more super-com...

C2 should have done this years ago for the CRASH-B's.
