Congratulations! That's amazing!

Thanks for your analysis, GlennUk! Sorry to see things didn't go as you might have hoped because it's a non-tivial task to try again on these long distance pieces. As a contrast, I did my seasonal full marathon two weeks ago. I also had been running through the Eddie Fletcher plan (all be it an old ...

So.... I rowed a century today. I'm really proud to finish with a solid effort. I'm going to take a few days off and then will go back to focusing on shorter distances for a while. :lol: Congratulations! You shattered my time :D I took a full day off then did a real slow 5k just to move some and th...

My rowing shorts are basically skin tight with no wiggle room anywhere and just barely longer than my stump (4" or so I think, lol shorter than anything I wear in public by a lot) which is perfect since having to tuck away actual excess shorts material was both a hazards and a pain and produced a po...

My songs range from 3-4mins for most of my main playlist so it forces me to pay attention and ...

From there I started a training plan for a 100k which I completed yesterday for my season opener. My initial goal for the 100k...

Just wanted to drop a quick thanks to everyone for insight and encouragement!

Intro, Catharsis, and Questions TLDR: All of you in here are amazing! I tell a long boring story about my first marathon that it is helpful for me to write even if no one reads it. Skip down to the end for the questions! Story: I'm David (6' male, 205lb, 44 years old) and was first introduced to row...
