It's pretty nice down here in Cinci.

It is going to be 60 degrees F. later on this week.

No snow here.

Ann Arbor still has a couple of feet.

I don't think that's true at all.
Then you'll post an example using real stats?
:lol: :lol: :lol:

I repeat.
No 60+ lightweight has rowed or will ever row a championship quality 2k on the erg (sub 6:50) at your magic number: 13 spi.
Why? Strength and oxygen uptake diminishes with age.

TO bring up large and/or younger hwts as proof is to not stay on subject.

Plenty of time for a "FM at UT2 to warm up the muscle grease so that the DLS is rhythmically gestured."

I hope he remembered his iPod. I would hate for him to be rhythmically challenged without his horse and cowboy. :roll:

For 600+ pages of 'the same' a lot of people seem quite excited? Could it be, that there is - among some of us - slight uncertainty: Could Ranger be right?

I'm thrilled to see the raceresult result, admitted. Same thing last year..

We are short of Cowboys and horses here in Copenhagen, Denmark so I've had to put on Hank Williams, 'Crazy heart. Seem a bit too high on strokerate regarding Rangers training sessions though, 27 as far as I can count. But sure get's one in the mood. My kingdom for a 'first row experience' in Cicannatti.
