Hi Brian, I hope the grips work out for you. I think they should at least provide enough cushioning to allow your finger to recover. When you say they are slippery, I was wondering if you were referring to that slight feeling of disconnect because you're not actually gripping the handle, or if you ...

but I did have a time with some hand trouble (soreness and some stiffness in the fingers and outside edges of my hands) when I increased my distance. I can share my experience for what it's worth. I ended up buying some New Grips (http://www.newgrip.com/rowing.html). I can't say I'm a big fan of th...

I had severe headaches for the first three days, and felt sleepy in the afternoons. I would have never ...

I did it. 18:49.6. Quite happy about that (now that breathing isn't such a labor). Jim, I think I temporarily knocked you into Boat 2 but I'm sure you'll be returning the favor before long. I think I can guarantee you I won't be trying that again this month. This is definitely a case of team dynami...

Chris, no worries about knocking me into the second boat! It is all about the team getting the most points possible! Shannon -Thanks-Good luck with your 5k on Monday. Rowing online with a teammate sounds like a great way to improve and motivate each other. I think I can improve my 5k time as well. ...

I pledge that I will be as supportive and positive on this Forum as possible. I will help others, as others have been of inestimable help to me. I will continue to speak my mind, nonconfrontationally. I will try to avoid contributing to troll threads and gratutious disputes, however innocently. And ...
