Wrong - two men (I leave out old because mid-late 50s isn't really that old) on the machines is far more accurate and comparable than a singles race. In fact, the whole reason there is no serious 'world record' talk for OTW races is the fact that races will never be comparable. Ever. Even a slight ...

More like 14, and I cut my shins off.

Say what face to face?

And I would think that those posters as they degenerate - as I agree, they may - would eventually become so disinterested as to totally disregard any posts, rather than continue with increasingly abusive yet ultimately futile posts of their own.

Ah, yes, there we are!

And what, you have a problem with my height, huh? You think I'm too short to be a rower too, huh? Yea well tough. My height is something I'm very self-conscious about as it is.

Nice word usage

Henry, where are these videos? I've been linked to them here and there, but I don't really remember them... I just recall that they tend to be a tad, say, incomplete.

I've often wondered how limiting a heavy concentration on long distance wok may be for time trials, especially with middle to short distances. Since top-level athletes often spend a lot of time doing endurance work, it may not necessarily be self-evident that endurance work alone won't certainly lea...

What does it matter how far back I go? Look at the 'joined: ' date on the left and you should get a pretty good idea. What matters is what is said and done now, not in 2002. Some really clever dick once said that what happened in the past has no bearing on the future. So indeed get on with it, and d...

Thanks, I know what a 'troll' is. I'd say these obviously emotionally charged and incredibly offensive personal attacks with little due personal provocation is rather controversial and inflammatory, and in terms of the discussion, pretty extraneous as well as they don't have much to do with rowing. ...

No, I'm asking you to be decent human beings. Since I'm not being a dick, mission accomplished personally.

There are ways to verify times without a 'witness.'

I really don't understand why people feel the need to get so personally offensive with such albeit lackluster invective. I've been watching this thread and to some extent Rich's 'relationship' with the C2 forums for awhile now. Honestly, except for some relatively mild abuse directed at Roy, rarely ...

Last January or thereabouts Washburn pulled a 6:18.1 (1:34.5/500m) 2k and a 20:07.8 (1:40.7/500m) 6k, and thus his 6k time was at 2k + 6.2" pace as opposed to the guideline of + 6.0" Plenty close enough for practical purposes. All rows vary with conditions and a host of other issues. It is nice to ...

It was of course a great row, but he's sick for rowing a second short of 60'... by my own mind's humble opinion based very strongly in various tenets of insanity.

You're sick.

Genetic factors? Rowing isn't running. In rowing, the best sprinter is also the best marathoner. Slow twitch fibres predominate and there is no gravity. I don't understand your numbers from Washburn. Please clarify. Which rows were done in what? Strengsth doesn't necessarily decline with age like a...
