Congrats to so many milestones. 21 million for Danno - that's incredilble. To continue even with no more prizes to claim. I'm feeling much better, up to 20 minutes /day trying to do 4 days per week. Slowly I will build up to where I was. AND no more speeding thru workouts. Speed kills even on the er...

Long lost loonie lurks :oops: ... Sorry to have been away for so long. :( Wonderful to see all the new team members :D and wow what amazing meters! :shock: AJ's graphics are absolutely amazing! :lol: I'm glad to be able to be getting back to rowing. After the muscle strains, I eased back slowly and ...

Gina, Thank you so much for posting this terrible news. I am waiting for a reply from the person who posted those pictures, just to make sure we have correctly understood. It seems too awful to believe. I am hoping the person just wasn't thinking when they titled their album, and our Duluth Moose i...

Fellow luna-tics First, sorry for my absence, I'm slowly getting back to erging, the last injury has been tough to recover from, but that's not why I'm here today. I'm so very sorry to be the one to post this news, but I felt it must be shared. I logged onto my FaceBook page tonite and saw some phot...

if you are interested in 'broken intervals,' be sure to upgrade the firmware in your monitor - free on the Concept 2 website. They've reworked it so you can program in some 'off-erg' time.

Brett - Welcome, you have made a very smart purchase. I was collegiate rower in the late 70's. In the intervening years, I tried gym memberships, classes, jogging, racewalking, walking, yoga, etc to stay in shape. Everything worked, but I got bored or easily injured (fell off the treadmill!). About ...

Bob S.- you are always welcome to post here. I was priviledged to witness you break the WR in Long Beach last year. You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for sharing your wisdom on this forum, my own success at the Beach Sprints was a direct result of your posts on warming up and training. I h...

Belated Happy Birthday to Kona. Hubby had a nice day too, but didn't get to go canoeing. Lots of meals out with family and friends. I tried rowing yesterday and today, Going slow but it still bothers me a bit, so I may try every other day. But I didn't enter any meters till today, so the results wil...

Drat, I'm back on the disabled list. I jumped on the erg and cranked out a few too many 5K pieces without proper warmups and stretching. Thus I developed a case of Illiosoas Tendonitis - a twinge in the left hip flexor, a bit of online research has convinced me this is not a pain to row through. So ...

Actually BG - it'd be better for our city if the Celtics won, we can't afford the parade! Also there may not be as much rioting.

thanks for all the congrats on the previous page. I haven't had a chance to check in for a while. However, i will put in a good word for my LAKERS . I'm not a fan of certain team members (Artest for one), but they are the home team. I do hope Moose remembers that they originate in his fair state, as...

Barb - glad to hear you are back home B) , praying for your full and speedy recovery. But take your time, you'll be running and erging soon enough :) . Meanwhile, your encouragement is appreciated both here and on FB. :D I passed the 4,000,000 mark tonite :shock: , meaning only 994,599 m to go for m...

thanks for the update on Barb, will keep her in my prayers. learning about the rifles, strainers, etc on the rivers makes me happy I row in the safety of my own bedroom! I do like seeing the Moose's pictures though! After 2 weeks of trying to stick to the 2K schedule, i bagged it. Too much time and ...

I've decided to try the UK website's training plan to improve on my 2K time. I did a test last week and I'm now ranked #1 in my age group...row a ranked piece early in the season to claim the top spot! The plan has you row lots of meters at an aerobic pace for the first 6 weeks and then more interva...
