Took another 17 seconds off my 5k time, for 20:40.5. <br /><br />Yesterday did my first 30' row, and scored 7061m. <br /><br />Keep up the good work, everyone. It's fun to read the success stories.<br /><br />Nick

Popey,<br /><br />Way to go on 1,000,001! You should be proud indeed.<br /><br />May 2,000,002 not be far away.<br /><br />Nick

Still a newbie at this (started 2 months ago), but I just love my last three 5k times:<br /><br />11/30/05 21:55.3<br /><br />12/1/05 21.31.5<br /><br />12/3/05 20.57.5<br /><br />Gee, a 30 second PB every time! Not long now and I'll be sub-10 min.<br /><br /> <br /><br />What's that, you say? Can't...

Way to go, Ancho! Congratulations on your first (footed) marathon. I've done one and only one myself (Rome, Italy, 2004). I remember thinking as I crossed the line, "Never again." But two hours later I was starting to think "Maybe..." <br /><br />I didn't finish under 4 hours, but then again, I didn...

<br />I sometimes notice a "dip" in the force curve and was thinking about posting about it myself. <br /><br />Seems to me that when I keep my legs connected to the handle through a firm back, and get away from the footrests quickly, I get a smooth curve.<br /><br />When I'm not as good at applying...

I thought I would add a reply here since just today (after a few weeks of rowing) I finally got that "connected" feel that Mel's post to Byron explains. I was actually thinking about that post (which I had read last week or so) while I was rowing, and on one recovery, I just said to myself, "Self, s...

Xeno,<br /><br />Thanks. I found the thread with the handle adaptations. Pretty inventive stuff!<br /><br />I'll watch my forearms and elbow at the finish. Level is the name of the game.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Nick

Hi everyone,<br /><br />I'm pretty new to rowing and have probably done a couple workouts harder than I should have at the outset. As a runner, I figure it's not worth getting on the rower unless I'm getting a good sweat. I need to let go of that until I get better!<br /><br />A couple of times now ...

As a runner, I discovered that a product called BodyGlide is a necessity for longer runs. It works even in very humid/sweaty conditions. It's in the form of a deoderant stick and is clear and dry. Try any running store or I suppose online.<br /><br />An ounce of prevention is worth . . . well, you k...

Good evening,<br /><br />I've been rowing for two days now on my new C2 Model D. <br /><br />Today I noticed that there was a creaking/groaning sound whenever the chain changed direction--at the beginning and end of the stroke.<br /><br />Then I noticed if I pulled the chain very slowly, it creaks t...

This proud owner of a new C2 has just done his first training, which amounted to 20 minutes of rowing, just playing around with it and following the introductory video. Experimenting with technique and rates, etc. <br /><br />Looking forward to really getting into this; the on-line forum was a big p...

Just wanted to say I appreciated the remarks here--I'm a runner myself who's starting to feel some adverse effects on the knees. Nothing serious, just enough to make me realize I should have been cross-training for years already! <br /><br />I've been looking into rowers and my main thing is that I ...
