Concept2 Forum

Hi everyone - I'm Nan Patout, a forty year old high school math teacher from Louisiana. I have struggled with weight and fitness my entire adult life, but I feel like I am on the right track now after restarting rowing last week. I have actually been lurking in this forum for the past couple of days...

I find myself dreaming about the lost hour of sleep, time changes are not my friend :) I HATE it when the time changes - I can't seem to get my bearings for a couple of days, and the kids at school were BONKERS today. I wish we could just stay on standard time year-round. :? I totally blame the tim...

A beautiful sunny Sydney morning on this side of the Pacific... and its a Saturday!! A very unusual circumstance from recent history - maybe I should ask nancypants to get her kids to work out the probability of having so few sunny Saturdays in a Sydney summer! :lol: Hee - I have had to stop them f...

Marvellous kids! Which grade? (If I even hear "a train left Chicago going west at 60 mpm" ... I retreat into a fugue state.) Baton Rouge was the first place I lived in the US, coming directly from London. Once I learned the language, I loved it! It's my one section of AP Statistics, which is mixed ...

Woohoo! Love it when a Luna-Tics wins ! Congratulations, Katerina, on earning some Concept2 March Madness goodies by rowing at least 5K (and entering those meters into your online logbook)! Wonder what the odds are of a second Luna-Tic winner in this contest?? (get out the probability tables...) I ...

using Row Pro, I joined a group of rowers for the "Half Hour any Power" on-line row at 1100 GMT. There were five of us - one from down under (Baz's territory and certainly a vegemite consumer I'll wager), 2 from Great Britain and 1 from California (I have no clue what he was doing on the rower at 3...

Woohoo and hooyah! K2 (that would be me) gave the erg chain a quick 111 pull to get the meter counter to tumble over the 1,000,000 m mark for the season. Congrats! That is awesome! :mrgreen: I am amazed (and somewhat surprised) at how fast I am improving, although that is partially a function of be...

That must be two days at once - I think I just missed the cutoff yesterday.

if you haven't already tried out Row Pro, I suggest to try that as well. There's not always people around to row with, and most of the time you're not racing anyone, but it's great to have a little chat before/after a row with like-minded folks and to know that the other avatar(s) you're seeing on ...

Hi, everyone - thanks for the welcome! I'm really looking forward to rowing with you guys. I figure that I'm more likely to stick with it if I am being held accountable. I'm turning forty in May and am really trying to make some lifestyle changes so that my forties are healthier than my thirties hav...
