Concept2 Forum

Rick, great pics and thanks for posting them. Your race write-ups drive us to the Forum as fast as possible after the races. Thanks from everyone who loves good sports writing.

Congratulations to all who raced, and to all who set up, volunteered & organized, too! Big thanks to the Concept2 team, particularly Lisa Washburn and Brickett Bailey for making all the welcoming, travel arrangements, & the luncheon for the satellite race qualifiers -- much thanks! Highlights - Frid...

I will be out from Long Beach, along with my son Robbie. His 1st CRASH-B, and my... ooops! too embarassing to mention how many for me.

Several other LBRA rowers coming, too. Sure they'll post soon.
Only a few more days to go!

Hi, Rick! Great to hear you're in for the 200K - might we see you at CRASH-B this year? We hear New England is in the deep feeze - keep erging! & keep warm. I finished this morning, too - a wimpy 11K while my son did 2X30 min with his team at the morning practice. Hope to get some more $$$ for the N...

Great racing by all who came! So great to meet Laura Earnhardt, milkvan52, see Rick Bayko and Tom R again, and watch so many LBRA teammates (Joan VB, John VB and the LBJC juniors who came) race brilliantly. All the hard work of the Concept 2 staff and CRASH-B volunteers must be applauded! What a gre...

Fantastic report, Rick! and one more time, congratulations on medalling. Really great to see you pull through to 3rd and hear Tom R. exceed his expectations as well. :D It was great for me to meet other forumites (milkvan52), but unfortunately missed seat5 (Carla Stein) even though she saw me. Carla...

Veronique, you're ready! Sure you'll do well under 7:30 on Sunday. I've been following this thread the whole way & doing the IP since August. Rick, your comeback is truly heartening; you'll have a whole crowd all over the country cheering for you. Tom, have to admire your comeback. Remember we Maste...

Big congratulations to the Beach Sprints race committee, in particular John Van Blom who was moving ergs & running the races all morning, then hopped on one to win the 60 hwt race!! Congratulations to all the qualifiers (Yeaaa, Joan! another WR, too) and for those "slow" qualifiers like me, at least...

Looks like as much fun as a 2K can be! Send your results into row2k.com, Rick - yours was the first event of the season.
We're next in Long Beach, this Sat. ( )

Another just finished the 200K :D . Today, 5am I finished in doing the warm up for a 8x4' almost race pace workout from the UK site interactive plan. Now have done every Holiday Challenge (LOTS of pins & over 24MM recorded). Hope my 15 yo son can finish the challenge, too. He's done the 50K, but I c...

You could look at the race resulst on the C2 UK page to check out race stroke rates. Here's a link to the results for the '07CRASHB's Men's Open Hwt race. Just click on "Race Analysis" after a competitor's name to get a graph of 500 pace (blue line) and stroke rate (yellow) for the race. http://www....

Rick, great pics (even the ones out of focus; gives the feeling of action, or maybe nausea of the participants). Thanks for volunteering, too. I really wanted to see Carla's race after reading about her progress over the months. Again, WAY TO GO! Had to catch a plane this year, but I hope to see you...

Congratulations, Carla! Bronze is a very becoming color. Go enjoy the cycling & hope to see you next year.

I did wonder if Christine Buschbacher rowed. (It's amazing how fast the results from races in the UK appear online - usually with splits & stroke graphs for everyone the day after the race! So often results for US races appear after a week or later.)

Uh, didn't you notice that was 2005? Doh!
