Broke 1,000,000 meters for the JVTC on the morning of day 24 with a 15K row. Great job Brian! My own JVTC contributions were a bit low for the last few days when I was fiddling around with a couple of sprint time trials (500m and 1K) and a 2K race. I had intended to do a 5K TT (for the nonathlon, a...

Broke 1,000,000 meters for the JVTC on the morning of day 24 with a 15K row.

Knocked out my fourth million meters for the season- the first million took 105 days, the second million took 71 days, and the third million took 46 days- this last one took 37 days- at this rate I'll be rowing 1mil per day pretty soon... or not.

My short-term goal is to hit 1,000,000m in the January Virtual Team Challenge. Almost 24 marathons in 31 days. Wow! That's a real chore! How far along are you? Nevermind - I think that I spotted you on the list in 6th place and almost half way there already. Good Going! Bob S. Thanks. B) My biggest...

I'm a weightlifting coach and I have absolutely no use for a heart rate monitor while weightlifting. None. I agree-after twenty-five years of lifting, I've never seen anybody worth a damn in the gym who was concerned about his heart-rate while hitting the weights (unless maybe it was somebody who t...

I don't see how it would really do you any good- lifting weights is completely anaerobic unless you're doing dozens of reps, and heart-rate doesn't really enter into it (unless you have some physical problem you need to monitor).

Does anyone have the link to the standings page by any chance? I can't find it on the challenge page.

Knocked off my third million meters since May 1st- this one took only 46 days- yes, it hurt.

I haven't used any of Xeno's CDs, but RowPro on a big monitor with some great music playing generally has me rowing faster times than when I don't use it (I have over 800 rows logged through RowPro). The new version is also much more aesthetically pleasing (it has "live water" which looks more real ...

13K at 5:45am, and another 5K 12 hours later, with a work-out at the gym around noon.

Did a 12K this morning at 6am, another 12K at noon, and 6K at 4:30pm (all paced at ~2:10)- broke last year's 366-day (leap year ) total (2,097,000m) on day 182.

It's a couple of bolts and then attaching the separate components- no big deal (add 15 minutes to the total time if, like me, you have a golden retriever as an assistant).

As long as your injury doesn't stop you and your schedule will allow you to put in the time, 200K isn't much in 31 days- last year was my first year on the erg- my biggest month prior to the January team challenge was 228K, and I managed 530K for the team challenge (I love having the instant info of...

In response to the OP, my personal experience with serious lifting/rowing from the last six months (I'm 43, 6'2", 187lbs and very lean with a waist just under 31"): I have a model 'D' in my home and do a before-breakfast 12K pretty much every morning (might take one or two mornings off per month) at...
