We have all started the new season...we will not be stopped..I hope that this little motivational quote can get more to row and join our team!!!

...oh..but if our Captain IZZZZ decides to join in and wants to be at the helm..yes..continue your great leadership!!
I just have not seen you post so didn't want to create a demand.Lisa left the ship.I did row with her on this team at times..she was awesome.She will be missed!

Hi Doug!! Nice that you joined us and that rowing has been so rewarding.It is a great way to get in shape.When I began my rowing..it was back when rowers were not a popular piece of equipment in gyms.I rowed on one that never got used and incorporated rowing into my female clients training plans.Oh ...

A little TimbukTOO history.We were organized in February 2008. Out of the need for a seasonal team following the virtual challenge .We had a variety of rowers..young and seasoned ..young and new..and some elders..me included. I began rowing back in the mid 90's and have logged well over 22 million m...

I just wanted to say hello and welcome all to team TimbukTOO.It has been a very quiet start to the season..I have not been an active part of this team for some time.I originated this team quite a few years ago and acted as captain.I have seen rowers come and go.I do not recognize many of the team.Ma...

Happy New Year!
Count me in for the Challenge.
I won't make any promises or commit to a number of meters.
But I am back on my erg!!

Row Strong!!

All hands on deck, slaving away despite the weekend! Hence, 15 of 71 members (21%) logged a strong 136,955 total meters Sunday! Milestones achieved: JERRY H TOPPED ONE MILLION!! Approaching milestones: J. K is drumming towards 900K (-18,653m), John B soon to top 600K (-19,855m), Pat M breathing dow...

My goal is to just add meters and finish the challenge!
I am not sure what my daily meters will be.
Nascar Chase is on as of yesterday..I have races to attend, road trips etc.
So I will row as I can and add as I can..and meet my goal of rowing when I can!!

I have the heart rate monitor for my erg..bought it thru Concept2.It attaches rather easily to the rail..is sturdy and works with any heart rate monitor of that nature.I have several with all my cardio eqyuipment as I have a home gym.My heart rate monitor for each piece of equipment are inter change...

As a long time rower I need to add a comment as to the effectiveness and benefits of the New Grip Rowing gloves..or I should say grips, not really a glove. I suffered wrist issues and did not want to deal with long term care or surgery.I found these rowing grips and they solved all of my rowing issu...

I have a wonderful padded seat I got after using various ones..one came from Concept2 but was way too thin. I don't remember where I got mine but if you google" padded seats for an indoor rower" you will be amazed at what you will find for you! Great investment. Several years ago before I belonged t...

As a personal trainer..I would suggest working on any type of marathon..half or full..one needs to work on endurance adding time and meters every day..with days of rest.It is just like training for a running event.Keeping hydrated and eating well..stretching and staying limber.. No rush to do this.....

I just joined this team and entered into the fall challenge. I got my C2 rower this week, and have been acclimating myself to it. I did row at my local gym and enjoyed it much more than the other equipment, so decided to purchase one for my home. Anyway, looking forward to the challenge and being p...
