Re: Finally a Marathon Mug!

Thanks! And yes, those are the cutouts from the seat pad. I find that sometimes I have to use them as an extra cushion when I row, so I keep them handy for hot spots. Extra cushioning, that makes sense. I'd better find my cut-outs sometime for my marathon attempt. They are probably under the couch....

Congratulations!!!

Are those the cut-outs from the seat pad that I see on the bookshelf? Are you keeping them for some reason? :D

I like the comparison between the rower and a car. When we were looking for a used model C last summer, Mrs. Wu, who hadn't have much exposure to C2 machines and their quality, asked me if several million meters on a rower is going to affect its use. I said, unless the rower was subject to the most ...

Anyone metioned Tom's (tbartman) yet? I like it because I suck at the fish game.

So trying to depend on my legs *and* row at 80% is hard! I agree. But luckily, I'm mostly going to do 50-60% long rows in the near future, just to put more meters in so Mrs. Wu doesn't beat me to 1 million meters by too much. :oops: :) elfm, hope you'll figure out how to get the figure you want.

If I'm rowing normally my technique can look ok (not good, but ok).
