Works fine here. Both IE and Firefox. Perhaps downloading an updated Real player might help?

Thanks everyone. Some great ideas. I like the HR option a lot. <br /><br />Does anyone know if chat will work during a RP race if we stop midstream? Here's why I ask. I'm thinking about a Trivia Contest Rowing Biathalon (patterend after the cross country ski & target shoot version)<br /><br />Would ...

Been thinking that with all the creative horsepower on this forum we might be able to come up with some creative online workouts that help keep us all inspired. I think handicapped races are fun from time to time, but they do take some work to calculate the "head starts", and are tough to organize o...

Air seemed fine to me. No special problems with it being too dry for me.<br /><br />I thought the Aggainis Center was terrific. Great parking. Great seating. Great atmosphere. I hope they keep it here for a while.<br /><br />Ernie

I would like to loudly echo Tom's thanks to all the volunteers who make the Crash-Bs possible. <br /><br />Its amazing how many "orange" shirts there were around the Agganis Arena. All the volunteers I met were polite, friendly, and helpful. And even in the face of challenging conditions that make r...

David - Not sure I understand the rules yet so glad to see your post. I'm traveling until Sat. evening but will be avail ato row on Sun afternoon EST. Hoping to do a 2k TT on Sun but can always fit in some other rowing too. Best, Ernie

Ah Hah!! -- <br /><br />Now I understand how Frank has produced all of those impressive times....It was really Yvette on the erg. <br /><br />Good try Frank...but little goes unnoticed here on the C2 Forum...<br /><br />Ernie<br /><br />

I saw a couple of quotations about moviation on another thread and though it might be interesting to get a list going. Here's one of my favorites that sometimes comes to me when I'm trying to shave a second or two off a 2k piece...<br /><br />"Talk is cheap and baby time's expensive,<br /> so why wa...

thanks for the tip - i tried this yesterday and it worked nicely. was a bit of a struggle to get free at the end, but oxygen debt had its effect on my coordination skills (which are pretty limited to begin with).<br /><br /><br /><!--QuoteBegin-John Rupp+Jan 19 2006, 01:28 PM--><table border='0' ali...

Jon - thanks for the response. I had an old C that I rowed for several years that had the problem (not sure when it developed), but bought a new D about 6 months ago. It probably has about 500k on it. I tightened the straps 3 times during a 6k piece today.<br /><br />Now, truth be told....It could b...
