TimbukTOO Team Room
Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
I want to thank Quatroux, damselfly, Izzzmeister, and others. I have read your posts and taken them to task. As a result of the excellent advice my program is starting to really take shape.
I took a day off yesterday -- And today I rowed my first 10,000 meters. It wasn't especially fast, but it resulted in a great fat burn for the first 6000 meters, a great cardio workout for 3500 meters, and it was all out for the last 500 (1:50 pace)! This was my greatest row to date. And special thanks goes to Izzzmeister for inspiring the 10,000 meter attempt - I didn't think I had it in me.

Happy Rowing ,

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room
Way to row, David!! Was that your first full? I'm in awe!! Not something I can even imagine myself attempting.
Mike, sounds like you're getting a really grounded program going! Congrats on your first 10k!! And for fat burning, slower is better -- you don't want to be going too fast. I try to stay below 85% max heart rate. (You can find calculators online for those numbers). I have to really push it with rowing to get mine up there higher than that -- I have to watch it on runs though cuz of all the crazy hills we have around here.
Don't be discouraged if it takes a while till your weight starts going down. When I started losing weight, it took three weeks or more for the scale to start moving. Bodies are funny. Just keep doing the things you know to be right -- getting exercise and eating less and nutritiously!

My first full this year, I did one last year as well..... lost count on how many halfs or more. It is amazing the mental process goes into doing a full..... When those meters are counting down it seems to go slower then when the meters are counting up. LOL like on just doing a "Just Row" Oh I didn't pick a goal this time? LOL not sure why just want to try and row as much as I can... which should be close to 700+ Would love to break the 1 million mark in a month but that is so tough to do with the rest of my work out... I am not doing a two rowing work outs a day unless I free something else up...... But with this TEAM I don't see us dropping out of the top 10 EVER........... Keep rowing

Nice and cool in White Pine,TN. Broke my previous 5k record without even knowing it. Things are getting faster, stronger, leaner, and meaner.
Ha Ha, LoL!, Row it like you mean it!

I have come up with a new "do" that shows my team spirit for TimBukTWO and the FTC. What do you think? Anyone else up for a trip to the barber?!?
