All I have to Say is Moto madmen and women are representing our sports well, and proving how demanding the are!!! I've been trying to get on the rower everyday, but have been pretty busy getting ready for the first WORCS round next weekend, Keep up the good work!! You all keep me motivated!!

Also upped my 7-stroke average a few points to 372W (from 369W). Average watts over the 500m was 370W or 99% of my 7-stroke average.

Greg, you need to add Steve's time to the 500 meter challenge rankings. that puts him in 35th!

I just got an email from PITFIT in Indy IL and there Indy car racers want to be involved with the 500m challenge and It was weird I also got a call from the Andretti racing team and they were asking questions. I think they are all watching the challenge. The Moto team is becoming famous. The real amazing thing is I got a call from a guy that is a professional MMA fighter and he said he does a 1:17 500m. Wow that is hast and he can kick me but. Needless to say I was real polite!

Jamie good luck next weekend I am sure the team will be thinking about you hammering on the bike. I am sure you will be in great shape and try and taper this week. We want you fresh so you have enough energy to climb to the top of the podium! Hey post a picture so everone on the team knows who to cheer for. - Greg

7 Weeks out now from rotator cuff surgery and I think this rower has played a key role in my recovery and range of movement. My doctor can't believe how quick I've bounced back at 48 years old.

I guess the Marathon would be next

Congrats on the 1/2 Wayne! You must be in pretty good shape.
I think that's a pretty good time for only being that far into your recovery. Yeah, they are boring, but watching movies helps.

My best recorded time is 1:52:32.5, which is 2nd to worst time in my age group. I think I can shave some time off of that if I do enough interval training & weight training, though. I can't really use age as an excuse, since the fastest guy in my age group is my age & does the 1/2 in 1:15:33.3.

I am a little surprised, but I understand. Most of my 1/2s didn't start out as 1/2s but as Just Rows that went over 21,097 meters. Longest I've rowed at one time is around 26k, so next I'll shoot for 30k & then attempt an actual marathon. I'd like to get the marathon in this month, though.

It's really tough watching everyone else pile on the meters & myself falling back, but we have some great competitors here. Go Team MotoMadmen and Women!

That would be SECOND place in the overall Concept 2 rankings. I'm only 1553 places behind him. But hey, I'm .1 of a second faster than some 81 year old guy in CO.

I need video proof of that before I believe it. Like 2whlrcr said, that would put him second overall. Not saying he didn't do it because those guys are anaerobic beasts but I think that kind of time needs video evidence.

I am thinking that he must have seen the split for the last stroke and not the true 500m time.

Call him up and tell him he's a liar.

GREGH · Post by **GREGH** » January 11th, 2008, 12:15 pm

I don't have to. I gave him your adress and told him YOU thought he was a liar. Oh yeah and he wants your lunch money too.

Is he referrring to the 500 meter challenge we have on the Virtual Trainer Site , the Concept2 site, or the January challenge?

I don't know Greg. When I start off on a 500m tear, I get down into the 1:12/500m range but by the time I'm done it's in the high 1:30s. It averages out to low 130s. If his last split was 1:17, that is pretty amazing.

I'm not going to dispute his claim but I'd still like to see it!

It's really tough watching myself slip down in the standings now that I am back at work. There is no way I could hang with Brian Kent but I was second overall a few times. I just don't have the hours to spare anymore.
