Sorry George, Don't replace the monkey!! She was a Mac-monket wasn't she? Another option? keep rowing down under and keep up the good times, just buy a shirt! and go to a museum or gallery? or perhaps ask Godfried for his mailadress in the US, like I will Hey Godfried, I did my 200k, how does the mailadress-change work for me, or George?

I was hoping for the 200k but soreness told me to not push it. I will be around 160k, which isnt too bad for a guy just getting into the erg thing in October. Great motivation this challenge has been for me and hope to do some other challenges and keep on ergin

I'm at 190,642. Looking forward to wrapping it up before midnight tomorrow. 436K total, starting in Sept. After the Christmas challenge, going to branch out into some cross-training (walking, Nordic Track, etc.), and mix up the rowing some. I'd like to keep it at 9-10K, but put in some long rows, and some 500 intervals.

Well just made the 1/2 million, I'm glad I got there. 504,714m now if I want to catch Toddy on the metres board then i need to do 40k every day until April 31st.......Hmm could be tough.

[old] Rocket Roy · Post by **[old] Rocket Roy** » December 24th, 2004, 3:03 pm

At the moment I'm doing 40 mins a day on the stepper, and an hour on the bike in an attempt to lose weight plus around 25k a day. Question is would it be better to do all erging rather than 1hour 40 mins on other equipment? Any answers, comments all welcome

sorry to hi-jack the thread............ Why isn't there an emoticon for embarrassed, do American's not get embarrassed?

I'll still try to get to 1 million by the end of the season.

Watch your diet, row with an intensity that uses predominantly fats rather than carbo's for fuel and live with the consequences. Trying to change your body into something it was not 'meant' to be is not an achievement, it is a punishment best left to supermodels - something u and I aint

[old] Rocket Roy · Post by **[old] Rocket Roy** » December 25th, 2004, 8:23 am

OI ! George, I could have been a super model (male of course) I don't know about overdoing it . I feel fine. Having said that i do feel a bit knackered after about 7k of a 1/2M for instance, but I guess that is just about lack of fuel. I think that going along at 2.11 pace is the fat burning area, however some people say it is better to go harder then you burn more calories for longer. Should I be just doing 2.11's for 30k a day or 1.58's for 20k a day?
