As I finished my HM, I heard a little voice inside me question if my row was being written to my logcard. I decided to snap a photo of my row on the monitor just to be safe. Sure enough, my card didn't have it. I constantly have problems with people changing the date and time on my rower at the gym, but this was a first.

I'm really happy that I decided to take a picture. I never would have remembered my time.

Congrats to those that finished the Summer Solstice Challenge! Please don't touch my rower!

Wow, I'm seriously impressed with the challenge turnout with over 31% of members taking it on. Only my second time ever that that distance and beat my previous mark by a bit over 4 minutes even though at somewhere around 3.6k left I had to stand up for a bit as my seat was killing me. I'm planning on a FM sometime at some point this season but besides waiting until my fitness level is better I certainly won't be making an attempt without a better backside solution! :shock:

Hey Lee, this is basically what I use. It's a kneeling pad for gardening or the like. I can sit on that puppy all day! I found one at the local nursery but they might have one at Home Depot or Lowe's...

I really like this idea. Did you buy one on this Web site? I'm a little hesitant to enter credit card information on sites I know nothing about.
