7925m (7.9K)<br /><br />Steady 30min row.<br /><br />Darren<br /><br />Congrats to breaking a million guys!!!!!!<br /><br />Great idea to post what type of workout we did. As I said I did a steady 30min to break a 2:10/500 pace (trying to get used to longer rows again).<br /><br />

October 28 - 16K. Steady state 1:51/500. I'm still recovering from some stomach trouble I picked up in Cairo (and having to use that silly elliptical machine for a week).<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Brian

I don't think we have any Saskatchwantonians on here yet, do we? It's a shame, it would be nice to have at least one person from each province on board.<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-->I couldn't resist posting a picture of this stuff from Saskatchean. Canola, I am guessing, right Mark? Doesn't anybody grow wheat anymore?<br /><br />Keep on rowing, only 8 more provinces to go.<br /><br />Jim <br /> </td></tr></table><br />You're likely correct Jim. The picture is either canola or mustard, but considering that the acreage ratio is about 10:1, it is likely canola.<br />

15k for me, I wish I could say it was a fly and die, but it was no way near fast enough for that. I guess a crawl and bawl is more appropriate.<br /><br />The intent was a 1 hour steady state, started out at 2:02/2:03 per 500m but couldn't hold it past the 30 minute mark. I had to slow down dramatically after that. I will try it again next week.<br /><br />Way to row, hosers.<br /><br />Jim

Two rows today for a total of 12.5k. Easy a.m. row 6.5k and a steady state (hopefull marathon pace) in the p.m for 6k. I've only got 2 pounds to go to make it to light weight so I'm hoping the twice a day thing might keep my metabolism raised enough to shed the weight , we'll see. John.

Hi one and all,<br /><br />Congratulations to all those reaching the magic million recently.<br /><br />I'm a little tired and jaded today courtesy of a late night at The Saddledome last night <br /><br />Anyway, 11km total for me (Oct 29th)<br /><br />1km warm-up and then 10km UT2 (2:07/500m, 19 spm, 65% of MHR)<br /><br />That's it from this household today as "she who must be obeyed" went out for a run in the sun.<br /><br />Have a great weekend people.<br /><br />P.S. I think adding detail about your work-out is great, it's good to see what others are doing. There are some fast people out there.<br />
