Just for the record: On 20/08/04 I completed my self-proclaimed challenge of erging 75 KM in one day to celebrate haveing survived 75 years of existence ! The object was two-fold: prove that not only can it be done but, more to the point, that I could do it and, to collet some funds for my YMCA's childrens summer camp. Stats: 6hr, 42min, 13.2 sec total rowing time with 8 pit stops of 4 min in between 10 sets of 7500 metres, ave /500m at 2:40:8. All the splits were in the 2:39/2:40 range. If anyone wants to take a crack at my times, be my guest ! Peter T Good enough for the Guinness Book of Records ?

Congratulations. 75 K at 75 years, Wow, what an achievement. I don't know about the Guinness book of records, but it sure deserves a pint of Guiness. Happy Birthday

Well done Peter! I was wondering how you had done! Truly oarsome!

Thanks to all who have responded to my 75KM post: I have received guidance from all who post and have incorporated many of the suggested rowing techniques and nutritional information in my training and the BIG day ! I think that the time has now come to focus on different goals; faster over shorter distances seems to be the next challenge. We'll see what transpires over the next few months. Again, thanks !
