Good advice, Grams - thanks.

I appreciate the "tithing" sentiment. I'll definitely keep that in mind.

I made it through my first workout on Wednesday by doing 1/4 and 1/2 slide rowing - hooray! I'm going to go back to it this morning.

Heh yeah tongue in cheek doesn't come through well in forums I'm afraid. Though truth be told, I'm a little dense at the best of times .

I'll try your suggestions regarding rowing strapless and see if it helps. It should....

Nosmo - I addressed the question to the ladies only because from what I was told, "patellafemoral syndrome" is more common in women than men :). Any advice appreciated! I should try rowing strapless, but I find it really hard to get my technique right. My recovery phase (correct terminology I think?...

Renee - thanks for the feedback. My PT didn't have any rowers - he actually had me on the bike most of the time, and doing resistance training. I think the "tearing" sensation from my quads, which happens just above the kneecap where I THINK it connects to the patella itself (previously I said glute...

Hey all - it's been a while since I've been here. Mine is a sad story (of sheer stupidity, aren't they all?) - last year I thought I was going to be past my million meter mark by this point. Unfortunately, I stopped rowing for a while and then got back on the rower (a little too quickly I think, wit...

How do I see where the RIAR team is ranking for the challenge?

Hi all! I'm checking in today over my lunch. I was a slug on Monday and didn't row - everybody's battling the flu here at work. Lots of people out, and although I haven't been stricken with it full-force, I have the runny nose and lethargy that usually tell me to lie low for a few days. Actually, re...

Wow - you gals are knocking out some blazing times! To this point, I've been happy with my 10,000 meters or so at a pace of anywhere from 2:30-2:45/500 meters ... is that too slow? I'm getting my heartrate monitor this week, so at least I'll be able to gauge my level of fitness and row accordingly I...

Thanks for the thanks! *laugh* I will definitely check out the Nick Nice site - I'm always down for finding new talent ... wherever it is. Also - nice bike - is that yours? ... I think my boyfriend and I will start saving up for a pair - we both want to learn how to ride, and our next-door-neighbor ...

For those of you who like electronic/dance music (think trance, house) my boyfriend is a "recreational" DJ who posts full length mixes for free on his website - it's (double-u, double-u, double-u) djjoncaserta (dot) com. (Sorry for the broken stuff, but this darn forum says since I'm a new user I ca...

Greetings, everyone! I'm absolutely new to the forum, but I have fallen in love with erging. I used to use them when I was in college, but infrequently - usually I used the elliptical (bad knees, and I thought it was burning a lot of calories - amazing how those things actually lie to you!) Unfortun...
