Thank you for your service, Padre! Funny, I remember you mentioned that the RowErg can be used as a substitute for running in the Military Personal Fitness Test. I recently looked into the USMC PFT to see how I would score, and for someone over the age of 51 (namely, me), rowing a 5K in 20:00 or les...

I fell out of this boat a few years ago when I started focusing primarily on running. Now I'm waiting for knee surgery - it seems like running over 1,700 miles a year might be overdoing it - so I'm back on the erg, and trying to make a contribution to the team challenge 🙂 Feels good to be back afte...

This is an historic day: never again will I row more meters than Jim Conley! Thus far only four members of the crew have signed up for the challenge that started today. I will do my best to keep us motivated over the next month!! :lol: Easy to do these days Padre! And with a beautiful Spring ahead,...

Hi Angela, I am not ... I read on the C2 blog(?) about it, and just yesterday I noticed its presence on my PM5 monitor as I was doing something else.

It is good to hear you are getting back into rowing! I just crossed 23MM meters; 19MM on the rower, 2.5MM on the skier, and 1.5MM on the bike.

It's good to hear from you Cap'n Izzz! I hope you fully recover and log millions of meters in the near future. It was always fun chasing you!

It is quiet out here, and I miss the chatter, but ultimately "we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

Welcome back John, it is great to hear from you again! I am also slowing down on the rower. I am approaching 23M lifetime, about 19M of which occurred on the rower. My goal is to hit 20M on the rower, 3M on the SkiErg and 3M on the BikeErg - for a total of 26M - by the end of November 2021 (my 10th ...

Padre, thanks for your service to our Country, and congratulations on your promotion!

I checked out the new ACFT on the Army website. It looks tough, but I suppose a young motivated person could spend some time preparing for it. We old folks though?!!!

I wish you all the best!

Whoop,whoop, and way to get the Fall Challenge supercharged! Congratulations, Jim C, on achieving a ONE million meter erging season! We wish you many, MANY more!! Thanks very much! This doesn’t get any easier as I get older :shock: My 8-year anniversary of logging meters is coming up on Dec 1. I'm ...

Just hit 20 Million Meters. It does not get any easier as I get older!

Hi Padre, it is good to hear from you! I'm glad you're doing well.

This forum has pretty much dried up. So sad, as I always enjoyed hearing about teammates' progress and other small talk. But we few faithful still chug along. I for one am glad you are back in the boat.

Welcome back!

Congratulations! Don’t forget to put in for your 5MM meter gift! I recall it being a long-sleeved t-shirt.

I hope your arm is ok, Gabi.

As for me, I was chugging along nicely, but now I suspect I have the Flu or a really bad cold. It felt like a fever last night and early this morning, but now it seems just cold symptoms. Either way - taking at least one day off.

Thanks for the update Padre! I am happy to say that because my knee(s) have much improved since the summer, I have consistently been rowing 50k meters or more every week, and as of today am on pace to hit 2MM meters by season's end. Still a stretch as logging season approaches, but I am sure gonna t...

Bob, the next Team Challenge is the Virtual Team Challenge starting in January.

Padre, congratulations on your Fitness Test performance! I know it does not get any easier as we get older. For me, a moment to brag. I also just turned another year older, but I have lost 20 pounds since last year at this time. Furthermore, my total cholesterol dropped 10 points, LDL is below 100, ...
