whp4, he's an organic chemist. Good one.<br />In the middle of lab, got to go. Mary P.

Robin - I saw that ad, too and thought I recognized it on the forum. I'd be interested if you could tell me how long did you have to row around and pose for that photo session - it's such a perfect rowing picture! (At LBRA, we had a photo shoot for some mutual fund promotional material and it took a...

Hi, Bob -<br /><br />One more time, Congratulations!<br /><br />Looking over your shoulder as you took some 10's in the second 1000 of your race, and easily doing 1:58, 1:57, I think you can go under 7:50 (honest). Those 10's were quite calm & impressive. <br /><br />Great to watch you yesterday,<br...

Ditto on getting up early enough to eat and drink a bit (a big cup of coffee sure helps). I've been rowing early in the morning for years (30+) and feeling weak and clumsy at 5 has never gone away. Jogging a mile or two before erging (along with eating/drinking a little) seems to overcome the feeble...

fish, <br />Saw your time (7:45) - Really good job! !<br />from someone your own size (123lbs)

Good job, Jenny! Good job George! and special kudos to Rick Bayko - turning in a higher score the day after a race. *wow* can't imagine even feeling like getting out of bed after organizing an event & racing - very impressive.<br /><br />I tried the piece again today at the much more reasonable hour...

For results the best bets are <a href='http://www.pocockrowing.org/' target='_blank'> PocockRowingCenter</a> (website of the club hosting the race) and <a href='http://www.row2k.com/results/' target='_blank'>row2Kresults</a>, though results are not likely to be posted until tomorrow (more likely in ...

Yikes! You're in the No. Hollywood/Sherman Oaks area (sort of inland & definitely near the really clogged freeways). Your best bet would be one of the several rowing clubs in Marina del Rey. Lions Rowing Club (<a href='http://www.lionsrc.com/' target='_blank'>Lions RC homepage</a>). The club gives l...

Hi, Flyers! <br />Rick Bayko gets the recruitment bounty - I joined yesterday & took a crack at the 30min@20 this morning. Posted the result (7107) but will definitely give that one another shot, as my split was a several seconds better in the last 5 min than in the first 10 min. Rowing a test at 5:...

Karen - Welcome! One suggestion on buying a machine at a slightly reduced price -- try contacting the regatta organizer for the Concept 2 satellite regatta nearest you. <a href='http://www.concept2.com/05/training/competition/calendar.asp' target='_blank'>Satellite regatta list</a> Each satellite re...

Emilia - Hi! You might consider doing a race as a goal after the holiday challenge; the racing season in the US is January through March or so in the US. If you do try a local race, you might be in a small, friendly group and have an enjoyable, fast row (not a "killer" race). I hear at the Newburypo...

Thank you, gentlemen - Johnnybike had it - the URL forwarding has discontinued and Google search turns up the old URL. <br />Got it, thanks - Mary P.

Maybe I missed it, but what has happened to the Nonathlon? I've tried to open the page a few times in the past week with no luck. Any hint as to whether it will be up again, or have the organizers abandonded it?<br />Thanks,<br />Mary P.

Hi, Marie - I rowed (on the water in a single or erging) every day when I was pregnant. Rowing was comfortable the entire pregnancy. Running became difficult after 6 months, & cycling--forget it! But I had no problems rowing. <br /><br />The best thing about rowing all the way through pregnancy was ...

Hi - I did my 2K last Saturday, but also had to withdraw from the Development Team (my spouse needs me to accompany him to a business event the weekend of the European Open. Found this out a few weeks ago/confirmed that the date of the busness event would not be changed right before I did the piece)...
