Happy Birthday K2!

After taking most of the last month off I think i'm sufficiently rested up for the dog days and rowlympics! Does anyone else find that rowing has a high enough energy demand that it limits other strength training activities?

some days i'll row before and after my strength training for runners class...i find that my rowing is stronger before the workout...

Next up!

The Milky Way and Mt Shasta...something 00-Minnie might see from time to time!

There was a blurb on a news program that 80 percent of Americans can no longer see the Milky Way because of light pollution. I am fortunate to be one who can still see this on a regular basis....protect the dark skies!

[Thor MW]

Hey David, you will look adorable in those pearls. Two wonderful milestones!!!
Steve, wow man, you did very well.

K2, another year and you still look the same to me. Wooo hooo yeah baby!!!!!

I took a couple of days off. I rowed just under 300K in 17 days. I better be getting back to it tomorrow.

Keep on rock’n dudes and dudettes.

Yup. Thor left me completely in the dust. I'm taking some time off. I had a run-in with a glass, and the glass won; 5 stitches in my finger. OK. Wining a bit. But busy with family coming to visit, etc., so it's a good excuse for a few days off. Hope to be back up ergging the end of next week, fit and ready for the August challenges. That first lifetime million is sooooo close!!

ouch :{ ...sending lots of healing thoughts....and enjoy the family time :} and enjoy your ride k2 :}

[Kona2]

And so it began....

There are quite a few good points to spending time with the erg...notably you generally don't have to dodge the elements or branches and stuff, the surface doesn't change much, and the you don't have to rely on trail markers...still, the lure of Outside is strong. There were slackers and shredders and a few hikers (two and four footed) on the trail yesterday - you could take the ski lift up (very clever bucket system for the bikes), and just ride downhill. Ha. Nope, slogged uphill and zoomed downhill except for that one batch of trees...hahaha.

Jean M is VERY close to her ONE million, and will surely tackle the remaining 15,965 m (by my calculations) when she's ready! The million meter pin and complimentary Concept2 t-shirt await, so don't forget to let Concept2 know when you reach your milestone. Naturally, we will try to provide fireworks of the virtual variety.

[dag1]

Nailed my 1st 14er this morning, Mt Bierstadt 14065 ft. Part of my training for half dome in yosemite in 1 month. erg meters are suffering this last 6 weeks as I have been doing quite a bit of incline training. Kind of sad though, that it is my 1st 14er and I have lived in Colorado all my life. But I guess it's never too late to start. I will be back to full erg training in early Sept. Happy rowing to all.
