My first 30 minute row was 4642 meters. When I got off the rower I thought I was gonna die and told my husband that this machine kicks my butt. Funny though, every day I still say it kicks my butt, but somehow I find myself rowing six days a week!<br /><br /><!--QuoteBegin--><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><div class='genmed'><b>QUOTE</b></div></td></tr><tr><td class='quote'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Good heavens!

You go girl! </td></tr></table><br /><br />Carla - Actually, Monday was my husband's birthday and he said that seeing me rowing so hard was the best birthday present I could have possibly given him. Your advice has really helped with improving my technique. Also I realize I am still on a learning curve and soon my times will stop dropping so quickly, but I am enjoying it while it lasts!<br /><br /><!--QuoteBegin--><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><div class='genmed'><b>QUOTE</b></div></td></tr><tr><td class='quote'><!--QuoteEBegin-->You're on a roll Kathi! Thanks for the well wishes. I'm doing a bit better....still kind of rough, but I got on the rower a bit ago and did 1526. Really slow, but i was totally winded and needed to get off. I think if I feel up to it I'll get on again later today and try to get some more meters in. Maybe I'll get up to your meters Kathi! </td></tr></table><br /><br />Snappy - I'm sure as you are totally well you will be flying by my meters very quickly! <br /><br />

Well, I had another great day on Sunday with another 3 new pb's!!! <br /><br />I did a 500m at 2:09.0, then after a substantial break, I rowed a 6k at 30:21.9, followed immediately by a 30 minute row with 5777 meters. I followed this with a very slow just row with another 5038m. This is the most meters I have rowed in one workout yet!<br /><br />Most of my ranked times are now in the upper 70 percentile now, whereas when I started a little over a month ago, they were all in the 90's.

Way to go girl! You've been really flying these days! And doing some pretty long workouts too! I'm a bit afraid of the 500 at this point...I did sprint out the end of the 5k last night though, so maybe sometime this week I'll attempt it!

[[old] Bufflehead]

Well, I finally did it! I broke my 5K time tonight. How about 23:24.2??!! <br />I was beginning to think I'd never break that one. My last PB was way back in September. My "assignment" tonight was to be under 25. Won't Helga be proud? <br /><br />Hey Harly! The ball's in your court! When you beat me, you can keep the record! This one liked to kill me! I think I'll stick with slow, steady long pieces.<br /><br />Time for bed!<br />The Buffle

[[old] snappyrower]

Yay Buffle! That's awesome! <br /><br />When does your water rowing class start?

[[old] Bufflehead]

Thanks, snappy! My feathers are still all puffed up!<br />My first novice class starts Saturday, April 16. Brrrrrrr! I hope it gets warmer around here soon.

[[old] snappyrower]

Buffle, can't wait to hear about your novice class! Hope you'll have a nice warm, pretty day! What time of day will you do it? <br /><br /><br />Well, set a PB....Rowed a 5k tonight of 27:13.3 which put me at 87% or 102 of 117 of my group! <br /><br />Previously I had rowed 29:04.6 and was somewhere around 99%. Yay! <br /><br />Anyway, I felt like I could have done more, but I'm still proud! Love being a newbie! <br /><br /><br />Anyway, the boards <i>have</i> been quiet lately, haven't they? Where is everyone? I've started posting on the regular training boards too because there's not much chatter over here. Miss the gals though.

[[old] Bufflehead]

Hey - great improvement snappy! <br />It's fun to watch those times come down, isn't it?<br />As for the novice class, it runs for seven weeks. Saturdays are from 8 to 10 am, and Tuesdays and Thursdays are 6 to 8 pm. That ought to keep me out of trouble for a while! <br />Later,<br />Buffle

Great Job Snappy!! <br /><br />Novice class sounds fun Buffle, keep us posted on how it goes, please!!<br /><br />

<br />"As for the novice class, it runs for seven weeks. Saturdays are from 8 to 10 am, and Tuesdays and Thursdays are 6 to 8 pm."<br /><br />Great times, you'll get two very different views of being on the water. I loved water rowing, and those are very pretty times to be out!
