<!--coloro:#CC33CC--><span style="color:#CC33CC"><!--/coloro-->Hi All,<br /> Is it really March already???? March Madness sounds intriguing. I have three on-the-water races coming up this month, but think I can get in most days with at least a 5k. Don't think I will be pulling off the every day 5k.<...

Hi All,<br /> Meri, it would be difficult to answer your question without actually seeing you row. Perhaps by being strapless, you paid more attention to your body position which may have helped you. Do you normally set the damper at 5? Do you check your actual drag? Do you erg using the same drag f...

Hi Everyone,<br /> Welcome to all our new members! I have just returned from Boston and the Head of the Charles Regatta. Never thought that I would have a good argument for using the erg versus rowing on the water. However, as the weather was a little chilly, rainy in Boston and the waves were crash...

Good morning Grace,<br /><br />A pike is a long spear used by the infantry in days of old, one of the less civilized practices was to display the severed head of the vanquished upon the end of your pike. <br /><br />Tis the bane of having a head full of useless information and facts that comes with ...

Hi Meri,<br /> I am impressed that you posted such a fast time for your 10k with the damper set on 10. Just imagine how much faster you will be when you can sustain the 2:15-2:16 split with the damper set at 5. I'll be checking the rankings for the 50-59 year old women to watch you move up. Although...

Hi All,<br /> I feel like I have been in hibernation from the group. I have been logging my meters, but have obviously not been doing any postings. Things have been a little crazy in my world at the moment. My husband broke his collar bone a few days ago; my computer died (I am using my son's lap to...

Thank you. <br />~Grace

Hi All,<br /> Just got off my erg. I decided my "lack" of weight loss needed a boast so I have started walking every day with a friend as a warm-up to my erg. It has taken 2 weeks, but the scale is finally starting to budge in the right direction.<br /> Zot, I can completely relate to not being able...

blink.gif<br />I thought I would start this Post Topic because as a team we are growing and while some of us(Me) write a lot I still have a hard time remembering who is who! (Sign of age?)<br /><br />Never a sign of age, Mary, but a sign that we have a lot of information in our brains and sometimes ...

Ditto on the Woo Hoo for 6th Place. <br /><br />To Mark with the heel spur, have you tried varying the angle and height of your foot stretchers? Would a gel pack in your shoes help? <br /><br />I have promised myself that I would no longer erg while watching Paula Dean on the cooking channel. I knew...

I'll be joining you in the Blue Moon Row. Who would even want to miss out on this wonderful opportunity? Why just row once a day when twice is double the pleasure? <br />~Grace<br />
