I think the title should be "Making friends with the carpet"

Hi Just got back from Toronto late last night. It was a great event and alot of fun was had by all. A few technical difficulties prevented the races begining on time, but apart from that it went very smoothly. I don't have the results (they are not posted yet), but the best time was 6:02. The surprise of the day was in the novice/recreational category, where someone pulled 1:32 pace. Pretty impressive. On another note, Ranger was on the event list to race in the Veteran Men (50-59) Lightweight category, unfortunately he was a no show. I have some pictures and a camera movie from the event which I will try to host later tonight.

I competed in the Junior A Men's LWT division. I am used to racing people under 145, 165 is a whole different story, seeing as I am only 130. I went 7:27. PB for me, and its at least a starting point, goal for end of erg season is 7:18. By the way, photos are up but results are still on the way. photos --> <a href='http://cdn-indoor-rowing.com/2005%20CIR ... /index.htm' target='_blank'>http://cdn-indoor-rowing.com/2005%20CIR ... dex.htm</a>

It was a great day for all involved and I thought it went pretty well. Next year I'll compete (as an recreational / novice), but I won't be able to beat the guy who was pulling 1:32 pace. My god he was good....

Hi Simon From your various posts it seems that you are developing a keen interest in erg racing and I would imagine you've been doing a fair chunk of training. Don't be surprised if you feel like doing the 2k race in your age/weight category by next year instead of the 1k rec/novice race. Its interesting to see the spectator viewpoint. When the races got to be 1:45 to 2hours behind, it was extremely difficult for competitors. Warm up, cool down, warm up, cool down. Look forward to seeing your video.

I'm close to breaking 2:00 pace, only being seriously training since december. Concentrating on core fitness before building strength. we will see if I;m ready in a year from now. ! Having trouble getting the video online. No sound though. Should be up by the weekend I will post here when it is.

He may have hit 1:32 for part of the race, maybe he could have even held it, but with a 5 second lead he didn't need to. To me the more impressive result was Philip Martens who did a 06:24.3 in the Masters Men 2000m. That's about a 1:36 pace for a full 2k. He was very smooth, didn't even look like he was trying hard (although obviously he had to be).

When I posted I was going from memory and noted he was pulling 1:32 for awhile. Still impressive Yes, Philip Martens looked very cool and collected. I'm sure he could have turned it on some more if he had wanted.
