7k for me today!<br /><br />That is 3 days in a row and it does not seem to be doing too much harm. I am glad you hosers have kept this boat going without me, but I am looking forward to putting in a bigger contribution now.<br /><br />Keep on rowin',<br /><br />Jim

Thanks for your confidence Mark, but we'll have to see on that one . I'm taking a rest day today although I did do 0.5 k. The usb port on our C2 monitor has been broken for a while and Concept 2 just sent us a new one (great customer support!!) So I had to see if row pro would work (and it does .) I've just signed up for my first online race. It's a handicapped 10k at 9:00 (our time) Thursday morning. I'm a bit nervious that I'll be able to figure out the steps to get it to work, but I might as well give it a try. I just hope I'm awake enough to get the engine started . Mark, I noticed the stoke rate on your row. Are you following one of the wolverine workouts? John.

To be honest I am finding it a tad difficult to figure out exactly what I am supposed to be doing for the L4's, everything else seems fairly straightforward. There's quite a lengthy wolverine thread going right now and I would like to read it over but haven't found the time yet.<br /><br />Maintaining a nice rhythm at low rates is a challenge so far but I think it will come.<br /><br />Have you used the WP at all?

Great minds <b>do</b> think alike obviously; I was looking for a picture of the maple leaf last night for my avatar as well - and that's no yoke!<br /><br />I guess I'll have to find some other image of Canadiana. I bet if i google "beaver" there will be lots of choices.

9k for me - Nov 23 2005.<br /><br />I actually made it into the shop to do a little "work", although nothing physical. <br /><br />This rowing is great for the back as long as you use your head.<br /><br />I should be back to work full time next week, and gradually increasing my rowing capacity over the next 4-6 weeks. Looks like I'm in for the holiday challenge.<br /><br />Keep on rowin', hosers.<br /><br />Jim
