Concept2 Forum

How I rowed 50 million meters. I recently hit the coveted “50 million meter” mark on my Concept2 rower, which at first blush doesn’t sound like a lot. But when you break it down, it becomes daunting. “50 million meters rowed” means 2,370 half-marathons, which done every single day would take 6.5 yea...

It’s surprisingly emotional. This machine changed my life.

Apologies, the screenshot of C2 logbook is “too large” for this forum. Bittersweet.

they're $180.

I just spoke with them -- they're shipping next week --

Very cool!

My silencing kit was a bit cheaper -- $.30 earplugs -- wear 'em every row --

I would just call C2 with this -- they're more than helpful!

-- back to the drawing board.

Nice folks at Shimano!

After -- (bottoms up) --

Bob S.

yeah, i tried that too -- i just like having something attached to the rower --

I just couldn't take the compression straps that came with the rower, with their slipping and digging in to my feet any more --

This is a pretty flat release, I must say.

So much more could have been done --

I know C2 subscribes to the KISS philosophy, BUT --

-- if you were to release a PM5 next, what would it include??

There's lots to wish for, that's for sure!!

I just made it this morning.

All I can say is, I'm tired --

I love this machine -- and I love the folks at C2 -- so friendly and encouraging.

Onward!

thank you -- i will check on this.

my mac is running 10.7.4, 2.66 ghz i7, 8 gb ram, 600 gig ssd

not sure about my virtual machine -- except it's parallels.

thank you --

-- not sure what a "really good graphics card" is though.

will keep searching!
