Back at it after moving my family from NJ to the great state of Virginia. Happy holidays to all!

Back from a Wyoming family vacation and ready to climb back on the erg. Go team TimbukTOO!

Today I passed 3 million lifetime meters. Thanks to all ofthe team for being a constant encouragement.

Hi Team! I read the posts almost daily and I am continually encouraged by each one of you! What a wonderful team we have as a result of our collective commitment to encourage one another! I continue to putter along on the erg as I make slow strides towards improving my own PB times. This weekend was...

Hey Guys, I have been a silent participant to the team over the past few months but wanted to chime in and say that I continue to really appreciate all of the encouragement that is offered from such an outstanding team! Also I wanted to mention that I left teh timbuktoo team and rejoined the "Timbuk...

Thanks again guys for the information and for the creative ideas! Also thanks for the explanation on the interval workouts. It makes much more sense now. I think I have been suffering from two things in regards to erging. First, I have had a terrible lack of variety as I have been rowing 5000m six d...

Wow! You guys rock! Thanks Greg for the excellent suggested workouts that fit my time constraints. Really cool! I will have to take the time to digest what you have suggested and maybe give it a shot over the next few weeks. Really creative. And yes, I went to UPENN for grad school and now I work at...

Awesome advice guys. I agree with many of the comments including the lack of variety in my routine leading to minimal improvement. Also I think, based on the calculations of what I should set my pace at, that I am simply pushing it too hard - possibly this has prevented my muscles from getting stron...

Thanks everyone for the feedback and advice. I continue to be amazed at the wealth of information located on this forum. Yesterday I completed a 30-minute "all-in-one" session and felt pretty good. As a previous post had suggested I used the first five minutes as a warm-up and in similar fashion use...

Thanks very much for you comments. I imagine that I may be over training and I am certain that I am growing bored with repeating 5000m around 5-6 times per week. As far as the time I have to devote to my workout routine it remains slightly variable. In this regard, I have about 25-30 minutes a day d...

I have been erging for a year or so at a steady 5-6 sessions per week. I usually row 250m sprint, 5000m set, and then 250m sprint. Then I complete a short cool down until my heart rate slows to around 135bpm. However, lately my times are slowing and I feel a lack of power. I have never had times lik...

Hey Everyone, I hope this short post finds you doing well as you rack up those march meters! I am relatively new to the world of indoor rowing and the March Madness challenge is also a first. Much to my surprise I actually was selected as the 3/10 winner! Just wanted to say thanks to all those who k...

Great. Thanks very much for the help. I have added my meters to the Timbuktoo team totals! Glad to be a part of such a positive team.

I would like to join team Timbuktoo, but the team is not listed under the "join a team" section on the concept2 logbook site. Is the team still open for new members? If so would someone be so kind as to offer me a little help in joining the team.

Thanks in advance!
