Thanks :D

And interesting question ...

I started rowing on a Concept2 Model A rower way back in 1980, but those metres were sporadic and now, sadly, lost forever - never recorded anywhere :cry: I still remember the cold mornings strapping into that old erg, starting the stopwatch wrapped to the wooden handle and listening to the whir of the plastic paddles on the spoked bicycle wheel as I gutted out the metres - ah, the good old days.

My 12MM total started in August 2004 when I purchased my Model D and started rowing again :D

From August 2004 through September 2005 I rowed about 1.5MM, nothing in 2006 or 2007, and about 6MM from July 2008 through April 2009 - so there has been a serious uptick in the metres rowed lately :?

It is no coincidence that I have logged metres every month since joining the Luna-Tics :wink: It is your inspiration that keeps me going :D
