Concept2 Forum

So I've taken up photography as a 2nd hobby (2nd to rowing, that is). Two weeks ago was a blue moon. I wondered what would happen to the Lunatics if we landed on a blue moon. Attached is a photo of the blue moon over Asheville taken from Craggy Summit on the dawn of August 8th. Also a photo of Beave...

Well it's been a great while since I've been here. it's encouraging to find the team in such good shape and still having fun. And lots of new names. I've been through a few rough spots with a-fib and some other heart related issues for almost six months. But things are looking up and I still love ro...

I can't believe how well our team is doing - and how many new heavy (meters, not pounds) contributors have joined us. Recently, I've felt like I've reached a point of stability in my own training and have been seeking for ways to inject some more creativity and fun into my exercise. So this morning...

Thanks, Kona2. I've been off the board for a few weeks. We've experienced a downturn in business income that has had me totally occupied and preoccupied. But every morning at 5am I go down to the garage for my crossfit/rowing workout for the day. And after I'm done I think, "Maybe we'll be ok". "Ma...

Well it's that time of year again. Tomorrow I'm hanging up the old dental drill and heading north for some R&R. Chance to see Will S and freeze my buns off erging on his porch. Last time it was a bit nippy, it helps you concentrate though. I be checking in periodically. So hope everyone has a Merry...

I haven't been reading the forum for a few weeks - too many other things crowding my life this time of year. But I took a few minutes to review it today - what a great read! Our team is awesome in encouraging one another and at the same time sharing valuable information. I want to weigh in on the h...

Ron, you better put me on the sick list. I did a pretty serious face-plant back on the 13th - stepped on the edge of the sidewalk outside our house, and severely twisted my right ankle and landed right on the edge of the cement on my left knee. It wasn't pretty! Anyways, that is why I was not able ...

Well, it happened again. I had another bout of atrial fibrillation early this week and the doctor put me back on the beta blockers. I hate medication, but I did what he said to do. Beta blockers act like a governor on your heart. Whereas I was routinely pushing 180 beats per minute before, now I ca...

Well The 8 week eval is over and I got the all clear to resume normal activity. With the admonition to us common sense when try an activity I haven't tried for several months. And to not try and bench press 400 lbs right away. So it looks like I can row pretty much uninhibited for the last two days...

Well 27, What have you been upto while I was away doing my rehab thing, HUM? Could it be a 2 million meter year? If so CONGRATS!!!!!!! I'm almost back. My rehab walking has increased to 2 miles a day in 42 minutes. Next monday i am off restrictions and will have to work on finding time to walk and ...

It was just sitting there looking forlorned and forgotten, I just couldn't help myself. With the drag set on 1 and a blistering 500/m split of 5:16 I didn't feel any harm would be done. Just finiished my daily walk 1.5 miles 32 minutes. Prior to surgery I couodn't walk 100 yards without stopping. T...

[/color] Top Ten Percent Goal.... if this is one that you have....you need to be at > 55,000 m at the moment Every team challenge is a little bit different, and yet there are...

Just checkin' in. Recovery is going according to plans or so the Docs tell me. It's 5 weeks Plus a little Post-Op and I would say I'm about 75% back. That's still almost 100% better than before surgery. Gotta say you folks are doing a bang-up job in the FRC. Hated seing my name down there with a bi...
