Okay moto people... What have you been up to? Are people still training on the C2 or are you back on your bikes?

Wow you guys are quick I didn't even know we had a new team page. We are doing great getting the word out. We had 13 new people buy rowers that ride last month. I am off to the Indy trade show to talk the rower up with some Moto Magazine guys. I am also going to be doing a rowing workout with the Andretti racing team and there is a chance that Travis P will be there too. Lets all keep spreading the word and pulling the meters! - Greg

Yea right, there's two feet of snow on the ground here. I knew I should have bought a sled this year.

Still here. Working on getting my 2k time down by the end of the month or start of next. How's the back, Mike?

Hey i just got this from Travis Pastrana. It gives us all somthing to shoot for.
Hi greg, I've been mostly swimming and bicycling getting ready for a half iron man in hawii but I got on the rower and did a 6:37 2,000 yesterday. I started off too slow and feel that I left a bit on the table but I figure it's a start.

I swear the guy is part machine!

Yea, I might be able to break a 7:36, oh did I mention I'm dyslexic? :D

Much better, but not 100%. I got back on the C2 a few days ago and did a moderate 30 minutes. Didn't feel bad while I was rowing, but the back pain started creeping in again and hurt for a few days.

I think I'm swearing off 500's and short hard intervals forever, but I should be able to do 2000's and longer pieces at full effort, once I get better. I'm pretty much able to do everything now, but at a cautious pace.

Yeah... part machine, part elite athlete & part SX champion, part kid, etc, etc.... I'd be surprised if he didn't pull big numbers. Lets see him in 16 years!

Anyhow, his numbers are certainly something to shoot for - regardless of whether or not they're anywhere near my realm! If you don't shoot at anything, you never hit anything. :!:

It also helps to have long legs! I think it's awesome that he's going to do a half-iron man though. What's next? Everest?

Installed my M&M bars yesterday; a (slightly but noticeably) harder/different pull for sure, but also more moto-specific i.e. braking bumps, sucking it up in the whoops, etc.

Let me add that I've been doing Greg's suggested 1kM/20 push-ups and it's an awesome routine. You don't realize the pump to your chest until you try and type messages like this and find it tuf!

Gotta run to Costco... :arrow:

Well I've barely been on the erg... only twice/week. I've been out on the water more lately although we're still experiencing the occassional icing. But I have been going to the gym. I've already increased my strength. I love that steep improvement curve of starting something new.
Actually riding the YZ is getting closer... in time and distance. There is a new track opening that is 15 minutes from my house. :D Apparently it's half built but I'll find out more at a meeting about it on Monday. This is EPIC! Right now the closest track is about 90minutes away so this opens up the opportunity for way more riding! :D

No trails either?

Find it on google earth then post the coordinates - the new track, not your house.

Put these coords in the "fly to" box in google earth and it'll take you to the track I ride most of the time:

40°49'28.85"N,111°56'22.50"W
