Just wondering if anyone has had any issues working out after the vaccine shot. I've been rowing for about 10 years now and average about 2 million meters a year. I passed out this morning immediately after a 80% effort 5k, 3 days after 2nd moderna shot. I felt good throughout throughout the work ou...

I just simply have to laugh at myself, awhile back I put the solstice challenge on my calendar as the 21st, and I hadn't looked at the forum recently, otherwise I would have been reminded that it was on the 20th. Oh well, I completed it today and it just counted as my own challenge...BazZy have fun...

Yesterday I recorded a PB on the 10,000 m: 53:46.2 min (2:41.1 ave split). My previous, back in Dec. 2013 (before all the years of chemo), was 55:25.5 min. This is the longest I've rowed without rest breaks since that time. It ranks me #1 of 4 in the little old lady category (at least until more re...

Well, you all did it and got me across the line in 6:59.4 :lol: ! Well done! Joking aside, without the support and motivation that comes from being part of this team, I would not have been able to achieve what has been a goal for the last twenty years, so thank you . https://i265.photobucket.com/al...

Ok, 2k done ..... no more rowing fast.
This trying to row fast is a lot of work!

7:09.8! Great effort, Gary! You've earned a rest...

Approaching sub 7 territory, Great job!

... I followed the Dark Horse 2k strategy recommended for "novice" rowers with power strokes at every 500m. As I did not do a 2k TT in 12 years, I figured it would be good for me... As they noted, this helped breaking up the 2k in more "manageable" pieces. I followed the plan and ended with a pace ...

Zach, 8,206 m with an average pace of 1:49.6 for your 30-minute piece is totally awesome!!! Social distancing is staying appx. 6 feet away from each other...Rowing distancing is rowing at such a pace that the team can't hardly see you up ahead :D Awesome job Zach! breaking 8k is an accomplishment v...

I think we do "bond" with these ergs. There's so much thinking time that goes on over the hours that we spend on them. They are our instruments of torture, and our call to discipline at the same time...finishing what we told ourselves we WOULD finish. That personal accountability that the erg demand...

Whew! the 500 is a killer, not as bad as the 2k though. I don't do too many sprint races ,I much prefer a slower challenging distance piece. I tried a reverse split for this 500, which is the first time I've ever finished at a stronger pace than what I started at for a 500 meter for time. I always ...

As many on the team know, six years ago I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. I've been undergoing chemo since that time, but at long last, I am done. This week was my last chemo infusion. Woo hoo!!! I've had incredible support from many team members, and I am forever grateful. I am especially gra...
