Hey Rich-<br /><br />Sorry you had issues making weight this time. Your previously stated regiment always made me a bit concerned. I'm glad to hear you are just going to race as a heavyweight. At some level, you are still competing against yourself and the extra few pounds aren't really meaningful i...

Mark-<br /><br />That is a wonderful gift. Enjoy your time with Xeno and in Costa Mesa and its environs. I'm from adjacent Newport Beach. Here are a handful of low cost/low key things to do in the area. Not necessarily highlights but worthwhile.<br /><br />1) Walk around Balboa Island<br />2) Take t...

I first started erging in October of 2000 and, then, the HC seemed like an impossible dream. Since then, I've completed each of them. One key has been getting a bunch of long pieces in before the Thanksgiving weekend is over. Another is mapping out a plan so that you now how far you need to erg each...

Xeno-<br /><br />Doing the kid's row program at the elementary school could be a great publicity opportunity. The pictures of you with the kids should be intriguing in print or on TV. I see the following elements.<br /><br />1) Fun for you and the kids;<br />2) Great story for the Daily Pilot, Regis...

Krysta-<br /><br />Great photo, great set-up, and adorable girl. <br /><br />Be sure to be alert and careful once she gets more mobile during your workouts.<br /><br />When I started erging my kids were 4 and 7. I remember they would come into the room while I was doing a hard piece or interval and ...

Paul (Canoeist) wrote "PS: I also use fans and C-Breeze whenever I can when the temperature is above 50F."<br /><br />I now remember you like to erg in a cool (downright cold to some) environment. If I were you, I would have put the erg in the wine cellar. <br /><br />As for John Rupp's attempt to m...

Paul-<br /><br />Congratulations!!!!!<br /><br />You appear to have come up with a 'shut down' line. So, what should we call this? Being 'Flacked' seems too cliched. Maybe 'Being hit with Canoeist's paddle'?<br /><br />On a related topic, since setting up the basement 'gym' last November, I've used ...

I would like to expand my core and flexibility training. I already stretch and do a few core exercises in addition to erging (on slides) regularly. I am considering purchasing a stability ball and a medicine ball. I've seen several lists of core exercises using a stability ball. I would use the medi...

Paul-<br /><br />C2 will send you a replacment plastic track for free or very little money. My slides arrived with a cracked track and the replacement was simple.<br /><br />Neil

John-<br /><br />Please do us a favor and 'iggy' everyone on the forum, me included.<br /><br />Neil

John-<br /><br />Unless you have actually used slides, your views on them are as relevant as Tom Cruise's views on post-partum depression.<br /><br />Also, if your tone were nicer and the phrases more quotable, you'd be our Yogi Berra. You never cease to amaze.<br /><br />Neil

"It's a fallacy to think..." -- John Rupp (July 26, 2005)<br /><br />While quoted out of context, I think that sums up all of John's postings.<br /><br />Do you think Xeno can put that one on a T-shirt?<br /><br />I've posted before on slides (and actually use them). They certainly enhance the erg e...

I count every meter. Proper warm and cool down is important. Give yourself the incentive.<br /><br />Neil
