Looking for a way to traverse vast desert salt pans in ease and comfort? Look no further!!

Eric Schmidt created this rowing powered land vehicle, the "Land Rower" for Burning Man this summer. Check it out!

Looks like it travels in the direction the rower is facing though. FAIL!!

Now that the cooler, drier weather is here (for now), I am making some progress again. Just rowed 16,431 in 60 min; a 1:49.5/500M pace, and a new PB for me.

Well it has been a whole week since I was on a rower.... talk about feeling out of sync now that I am back. Yo and I went on a kayaking vacation down to Martin Dies state park in Texas They have 3 paddling trails that we did and a number of hiking trails. The weather was great.... HOT HOT HOT...... after paddling for about 4 hours each day it looked like we had been swimming instead. had a great time on the trails and in on the Neches river... Even got to see a few Gators in the which was pretty cool .... "Don't Roll in a kayak you may not come up with your head" I will have some photo's after I get back to the grind. Glad to see that everyone is doing great, welcome to our new members.

Glen is BACK!
Glen B - 7,000 WELCOME BACK, MAN!! How are all the hurty bits?

The hurty bits are still hurting, but I'm giving up and getting back to rowing. I figure that I can either have shoulder problems and be out of shape, or have shoulder problems and get back in shape!

I'm going to try to take it easy, but I'm not real good at that...

[APM]

Some great metres rowed Team- well done!

I had a look at the Wolverine plan Andy was talking about... They gear a pretty specific program all around your best 2k time, and give you a neat-o chart on what split times to aim for in your various workouts. The problem is the charted times don't go down slow enough to reach my pitiful efforts. So, sadly, I won't be able to put the plan to use. Jim's PBs are probably safe from being overtaken by me, anyway.

Glad you're back, David!! Sounds like a great trip. Maybe I ought to import a few gators for my living room. That may improve my 2k times!

Glen, better fit hurty-bits than floppy ones! Glad you're back in the boat, but take it easy.

Apparently, I crossed the 2 million meter mark about 60Km ago. Wasn't even paying attention...
