Concept2 Forum

I am deeply offended that anyone would suggest I might have liked the movie "Oxford Blues." Otherwise, let's see: stink at other sports, don't care much for staying up late and partying, phenominal shape, vomiting . . . hmmm, not a bad characterization overall. <br /><br />Still, I think the guy fro...

<br />Wow! Very nice, Paul! My head is still spinning.

I'm loving this thread! The gradual way that it has leaked into the surreal is utterly wonderful. Although I'm taking the liberty of offering excerpts that are completely (completely!) out of context, here are my nominations for the most surreal comments so far:<br /><br /><br />"Chad does not appea...

<br />Quick posting on a good resource:<br /><br />If there is anyone who has a shell that has been damaged that need repair, I just picked up my 1x from Klinger Engineering in Mass and they do exceptional work. I had some minor damage around the fin trunk and a couple of scratches, and also wanted ...

<br />Wow!<br /><br />Truly impressive conditioning . . . really neat looking graphs . . . Throw in a pizza and a cool electronic device that can be operated with a remote control and I'd say you've come as close to nirvana as is possible. <br /><br />In terms of furthering conditioning, I'd love to...

Thanks very much for passing on your observations from the US 4. I don't remeber if it was Rowing Faster or some of the Lactate.com info, but I recall seeing something about putting in extra UT2 work as being a nice way to add to ones aerobic base without risking overtraining. I've been trying to pu...

Doug - nice data and nice results! You're an aerobic moose! Thanks to all for the interesting posts on this thread. It's been an education. <br /><br />Doug, based on you're 2k times of about 6:30 it looks like predicted splits for training levels might play out something like this:<br /><br />UT2 U...

<br />Howdy!<br /><br />My connection didn't work well enough (or some kind of problem) so I wasn't able to watch the races live yesterday. It looks like the replays are working for me and I am so excited to watch them. Thank you so much for all of your good work!<br /><br />David

<br />Good for you, and best of luck. On the brighter side, if he decides not to change what he's doing maybe he'd let you take a life insurance policy out on him so you can make some money! (yeah, okay. Sick joke.)

<br />I don't know of any research specifically on methylphenidate (Adderall) on performance and didn't check for abstracts before replying. My thinking was that the more important concern may be that, if I understand your post correctly, it sounds like this kid is taking a medication that has not b...

<br />Greetings, fellow members of Group A!<br /><br />Ernie and Tim, I wanted to get in touch with you about scheduling races for this weekend. If you have a chance, could you post times that might work for you. I'll also check on the RowPro server from time to time, and may set up a scheduled race...

<br />TomR -<br /><br />Thanks for mentioning Rowing Faster - an excellent book! Clearly I need to pick it up again. I sounds like you've really done your homework.<br /><br /><br />Mike - <br /><br />The training program I'm following is put together by Marlene Royle (www.RoyleRow.com). She's a for...

<br />Howdy!<br /><br />I'm still learning on this stuff myself, but am glad you're posting on this topic. For me, it took repeated practice before I started to get results that were reliable. I haven't practiced for a while since I lent my kit to a friend. However, from what I recall the biggest di...

<br />Xeno-<br /><br />I wanted to add my voice to the chorus of folks who greatly appreciate all that you have done for rowing throughout your career and your thoughtfulness and generosity on this forum. While I'm sure that there are elite oarsmen and scullers who lack the qualities of generosity, ...

I couldn't agree more - thank you C2! Excellent products (sculls, oarlocks, ergs, dyno), superb support, and helpful resources to help people keep engaged in rowing, sculling and erging. Like many, I've been a fan since the early 1980s and appreciate all you do for the sport.<br /><br />
