Concept2 Forum

Thanks for welcoming me back. How are all my Luna-tic friends doing? It certainly has been a while since I checked in. I've erged over this past year, but was a slacker at updating my info into my logbook, so it doesn't look like I did much of anything. I've been going to the gym 3-5 days a week de...

Woo-hoo! It is fantastic to see all the reindeer and so many wearing their bling! I have been out of the loop for a while. There are so many new names. Welcome to all of you! I'm Karyn. I'm an on the water rower from Connecticut, USA who mostly spends time on my erg in the winter months. I joined t...

I forgot to get my New Year's order in to Guinan this year. Luckily my hubby received my order and made me an amazing Hot Toddy! .

Happy New Year to all the Loonies out there!!!

Happy Erging!

Hello All! I see lots of new names. I'm an old time Lunatic who is an on the water rower, so don't erg so much April to Nov. I have also suffered some injuries over the past few years keeping me off the water, off the erg and off the forum. I tore my calf muscle in September and am still recuperati...

Hello Everyone! I have not been on the forum in quite some time. In 2016 I had a shoulder injury that kept me off the water until the late spring of 2017. Then my district decided to move me to the Middle School (I'm a teacher). The Middle School starts earlier, so I had to be at work at 7:10. Since...

4. More workout specific - I had been using the "biathalon" feature and programming it to have 1000m repeats with open ended breaks (which would be 30-60 seconds for me). This morning I just hit the 5000m option and took a quick break when I needed it. I'm still just trying to get things figured ou...

I'll still be here, but will not contribute as much as i would have planned. Been told by Physiotherapist not to stop working - i am instructed to work out, only on much lower stress... Thanks tho, hope i am able to fix this ASAP. Cheers, D. David, We appreciate any amount of meters people can cont...

Hello All! It has been awhile. I stopped rowing after Master's Nationals in August of 2016 due to a shoulder injury (bursitis). (Which meant I stopped erging too.) It started getting better and I started up again in the spring of 2017. Then I found out work was moving me from the elementary to the ...

Hey new folks. Karyn didn’t say enough. She is our resident expert in rowing. I can and will help but she is truly the pro with technique and stuff. Nice to see you again Karyn and I hope that shoulder gets back to normal so you can kick some butt next season on the water. Your not so secret admire...

Hello Loonie friend! For those who don't know me, I am an on-the-water-rower from New Haven, CT who does not erg much between the months of April and November as my time is spent on the water. I tend not to follow the forum as much when I am on the water, so I am a bit out of touch. Kudos to everyo...

Hello friends! I skimmed through the discussions on marathons and half-marathons. I have only done one full erg marathon in my life, but I've done a bunch of halves. I liked the suggestion of doing some 10k and 15k pieces building up to it. You don't want to go from 30 minutes on the erg to two hou...

I just wanted to say hello to all my fellow Loonies! This year, I opted not to do the March Madness (old habits die hard)...Mud Season Challenge. It is odd not erging almost all of March, but I am surviving. I decided not to do this for two reasons. 1) I am a morning exerciser. I have been doing mo...

I haven't checked the forum since the end of the JVTC. I've been taking an erg break (except for my 14k Valentine's weekend). Glad I just checked in to learn about K2's retirement. I want to give K2 (Jan) a great huge THANK YOU! You have kept me motivated to erg more than I ever imagined these past...

Karyn has her canoe in the water, too! http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/ad106/atudury/200k%20Meter%20Caricatures/200KKarynGallagher.gif http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/ad106/atudury/100K%20Meter%20Caricatures/canoe-back-Saturn_zps636b1cec.gif Karyn (can't find the 100K graphic at the moment) I...

Welcome to Sinead, Chris H and Karon B! We wish you many great erging sessions and much camaraderie! Just to let you know, Sinead is my daughter. She is 15 and a sophomore in high school. She's rowed a little bit with me and participated in a community rowing program at Yale this past summer, but d...
