Every time I've watched "Kill Bill, Vol. 1" while rowing, I've set a new personal best for the half marathon <br /><br />Bill <br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />I'm faster on those portions where the action on the screen is in high gear but I must slow down dramatically in the quieter segments of the movie as my overall pace is much slower. Generally, I need to 'monitor my monitor' for me to post a good time for a given distance. Without the monitor, my pace might vary up or down as much as 7-10 seconds per 500m depending on what I'm watching.<br />
