The question of low vs high drag factors shows up every few months. The very BEST advice I ever saw (can't remember who said it but I think it was Paul Flack/canoeist) was: high/heavy drag factors are like rowing a rowboat--low/light drag factors are like rowing a racing scull.<br /> You'll find a l...

At first glance I like it. The only issue I see right off is complexity, but if you can do the calculations.... I definitely agree with your point that the experienced players are penalized (and I'm not one of them) and they should not be; I feel for the Flacks and the von Tonders of the world! <br ...

Now I am a little worried. I know Alain is a very tough lightweight.... The question is, can he find another four or more to go the distance with him???

Paul: I'd like to soo if we get some action on this challenge. <br />If we don't get anything within a couple of weeks, then let's split as you say.... I have a mild concern that the slower "half" will not get many others to join, as people back away from a FM unless they're pretty strong. On the ot...

Paul: no rabbit meat on this menu (remember, this is just breakfast). <br />However, you may have noticed I have issued a Marathon Challenge -- our Aug 26th group of eight against ANY other team of six or more. SO: why not get the Pirate to round up his own crew? He can set any date, time, etc. Now ...

We now have a full marathon (eight lanes) scheduled for August 26th on RowPro. <br /><br />I am hereby issuing a "challenge" to any other marathon race scheduled within two weeks (earlier or later): our eight, lowest cumulative time, against any other six or more, lowest cumulative time. (If there a...

Michael... thanks, I'll send him an email.... He can give Mr. Flack something to row for. The rest of us are in a very tight bunch around 23:20 somthing. Bert

First, Andreas vT and Rich Kane have had to drop out (Hennie and Bill--Andreas wanted to be sure you both knew...flu..). ALSO, I believe I inadvertently deleted another entrant... so if you find that your name is gone, please enter again--sorry!<br /><br />For the rest of us:<br /><br />Name SB6k Ra...

Glad to see you're in, Frank. Hopefully Maine will be filled with that cool Canadian air just for this race! I think I saw that Leif has also entered...?? This should be good; a fast group and a "working our way up" group!

Michael: I forgot to mention that my workout partner, Rich Kane, is probably going to row his first FM.... He'll likely be about a 2:16 or so. Assuming he rows, you will not finish last!

I'm hoping I can do right about 3 hours. In April I did 3:01.xx, but I gave it just about all I had. <br />Whenever I do something longer than a 2k, I set a target pace, for example, a 2:09 for the marathon, and try to stay about a second or two ABOVE that for the first half then gradually bring it ...

Proposed date and time are now:<br />Sunday, August 28th, 13:00 GMT. This is now the weekend BEFORE labor day, in order to accomodate Jeff; Hennie likes the time of day; Captain can you make this?<br />No, this would not be a handicap race, basically because I believe in such a long race we're all i...

Jeff... by "before or after", do you mean the weekend before or after? <br />Basically, I'm open to anything in about that time frame, so yes, if others want a week earlier or later, that would be OK with me. My idea was that doing a FM every four months is about right for me (I have to gear up.. me...

I'd like to schedule a full marathon for either Sunday, September 4th (time open), or Monday, September 5th (after 18:00 GMT). Saturday, September 3rd is possible but only early (starting no later than 13:00) or late (about 22:00).<br /><br />This is Labor Day Weekend in the USA and also about 4 mon...
