Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
Unfortunately won't be rowing anymore. The new rower (despite cautiously rowing few meters) has aggrevated my achilles. Feels like someone trying to cut my foot off with a rusty knife. Dr says I gotta stop 
, he said my body is telling me something -I think I know what it's saying.
So back to the slopes and the skierg, it's a shame because a combo of both was one heck of a workout for a while.
Good luck everyone!

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
Before I'd give up on it, I'd ask C2 - and check out the UK blogs - how to adapt the machine (or hold your leg) so that it doesn't aggravate the Achilles tendon...chris hughes wrote:Unfortunately won't be rowing anymore.

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
Where is the darn spell checker on this thing?? 
Have been rowing 10 years before the achilles problem, so don't give the rowing up easily. Had tried many things, including rowing with just the one leg. Wasn't the best, but an option. I had been pain free for quite a while before I started using the new rower, so was surprised at the immediate return of the pain.
The UK site makes for interesting reading, seems quite a few people with achilles injury from running take up the rower??? Had been feeling it was just me. For my experience, any rowing - even low intensity results in sharp burning pain, despite the fact I have been stretching my strecthing excercises etc beforehand.

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
Who you callin' guilty? I resemble that remark!
All quiet on the Western front today, with 6 of 23 members (26%) logging 95,438 total meters. Who out there is broiling? We're parked under cold clouds here. Not good solar-generating weather!
And we bid a fond adieu (as opposed to a fondue) to Sarah and Rivka, who have struck out again for seas unknown. Bon voyage!
Milestones achieved: Adam M hit 150K, Cindy R hit 75K, and Lisa H hit 35K. Woots all around!
Approaching milestones: David is steaming towards 500K (-8,503m), Joseph is nearing 300K (-22,364m), Cindy is milking it for 100K (-7,759m) (inside joke!), and Lisa is approaching 50K (-9,704m) (should only take me another month or so...)
Posted Meters:
Cindy R - 30,762 Yow! Multiple rows? Kick butt, girl!
David W - 21,097 Cool half...
Dennis H - 15,000 Probably not even breaking a swet...
Joseph W - 14,365 Need a '2' in there...
Adam M - 8,000 Good solid number!
Lisa H - 6,214 Don't get used to it, gang...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
Been off the erg for a while. 2 months ago I found out that my thyroid gland has gone ballistic. Kind of explained sub par performance despite good training and a few other things like tremor and weight loss despite consistent acts of gluttony. A month ago I swallowed some radioactive iodine to destroy the thing but I'm still hyper. Taking beta blockers to feel normal but still jumpy. My Doc told me not to push it so although I might exercise a little it will be a while before I take any challenges or contribute much to the team.
