Rowing has been pretty sporadic this past 2 weeks - been sick with the cold/flu/plague/whatever it is. I'm missing it, and hoping I'm back within the next couple days - my back would welcome a good row!

Congrats to all on your recent milestones while I've been pretty much MIA!

Whoop, whoop and what a boatload of meters Richard T just deposited in his meter piggy bank! Chasing the 10 million plus carrot like California Chrome, he races along the edge of the Erging Universe in tune with the thundering hooves. Yep, it's springtime and this man's fancy turns to horses (maybe...

I have been trying to beat my 100M PB now and then for a month or so. I finally did it today. The previous time was 19.1. New Time 0:18.7, pace 1:33.5. DF 155, damper setting 7. 33rd percentile. So I have a ways to go. I checked in the standings and there are 9 guys ahead of me with 18.6. All I nee...

Kai is about 6 and a half months old now - and probably 3/4 grown. Definitely a snow dog - sitting in one of the mega drifts in the backyard...maybe 20 inches in the front of the house, but up to 4 feet in places in the back. Amazing how quick all that piled up, and while it is still snowing...it i...

Whoop, whoop and WAY TO GO! Congratulations, Tony, on achieving a ONE million meter 2016 season - knew you could do it! We wish you MANY, MANY more! And thank you for working towards our million meter per team member average! Congratulations to Tony, Stefan and Norma on your milestones - woohooooo!...

I did my first 1/2 marathon on the weekend. Didn't push myself too hard as I just wanted to focus on finishing the distance. Padding on the seat is great advice as mine was aching pretty good during the last 5,000m. And something I read in the forum that has been a HUGE help for long distances and ...

Nice! Congrats, Thor!!

I've been contemplating trying to work up to the half marathon - my pace is pretty slow, but when I see the improvement in my rows in my log book from when I started 4 weeks ago (3:46/500m to 2:39/500m) , I'm thinking, hmmm, maybe I could work up to this. Have found lots of training plans for full ...

From Thor ...If you don’t have a belt then do pace based training. Take a pace that isn’t very challenging for you and row a longer piece at that pace. I don’t know what your fitness goals are assuming you have any specific goals.... I also want to add something. If you are hurting from rowing you ...

May 1 I do believe is the beginning of the marathon challenge. You need to row 42195M all at one time. What! You’re a Lunatic aren’t you? I won’t get in to all the details right now but it is coming and for those who want to give it a kick, you may want to start training now. I will be doing longer...

Congrats to David and Norma, Awesome job!.....The pic is of Trio, He loved drinking all the water out of the bird bath. We had to send him off to dog heaven last week, an incredibly tough thing to do, but their short lives pack a lot of joy and fun into our world. Great job to all on the challenges...

Today's row carried me past 5 million lifetime meters. Gee, it's less than some folks row in a single season. In the spirit of David A.'s circumnavigation, I looked to see how far 5 MM meters would get me from NJ. Sadly, only to the West coast or, in the other direction, a few miles off the coast o...

Hi all, Just joined your team tonight. Have been reading through the messages on here, and am in AWE of the accomplishments of so many of you - congrats! I am brand new to rowing - used an erg a couple times at the gym years ago, but that's it. Decided a few weeks ago that I had to get off my butt a...
