Well done, Speedy Boyz! We now return to the regularly scheduled informative and useful Indoor rowing forum. That said, there has got to be some sort of record set over the last few days, perhaps c2billp can quantify it for us (melted T1 lines or something). Congratulations to all who paritcipated.

I think that after my performance of the last 6-7 days, that I have no place on this forum. Yes, you could call it embarrassment. Some of it has been entertaining, some of it a bit brutal, but that’s life I guess. Once again, my apologies to you all. I leave you with this- Dwayne Adams – 1 Chad Wiliiams - 0

Congratulations Mr Adams. Very Impressive indeed. A pr without special training. I hope we will see you in Boston too.

Good on ya Chad. I think we all got a little heated on this one, hopefully the rest of the community will take a page from your book on this.

Congratulations Dwayne! My apologies if I was only 99% sure that your times were real. Now that I am 100% sure, they still seem unreal to me, but it is because there are so fast! Regards, Francois

I have to say a real impressive result, what a fast row of Mr. Adams. Still I want him to race, so he can show all young guys what a 41 year old man can do. When the costs are a problem, my 10 dollar and maybe other people want to do that too?, can solve that problem so I would say, show it the young guys, Dwane....

I also am sorry, if I in any way made it seem that I was calling Dwayne a liar and/or a cheat, this was never my intention. If I have caused Dwayne any stress in relation to this matter, then again I apologise for doing so. Over the weekend Dwayne proved something to me, he proved that he is indeed a man of his word. No matter what anyone thinks of Me, I felt I was doing the right thing, I still believe that, it is just that I went about it in the wrong way. To anyone else who took part in the massive debate with regards to Dwayne’s times, if I upset any of you in anyway, I apologies. Dwayne- Congratulation of a fantastic 2000m time of 5.46.2 which has been approved by C2 and given the IND_V. This is a truly amazing row for any man, let alone a man of 41 years old.

Most of us are capable of reading the previous messages. Snippets are fine. But please stop wasting so much space repeating entire long messages that we've already seen.

Geez ... IDEA: Everyone who's so worried about analyzing and reanalyzing Dwayne's stroke-by-stroke performance from years ago even after all the silliness over the past couple of weeks should get on their ergs, train like there is no tomorrow, go race, show the world in public how great you are, set some WRs in every possible category along the way, take satisfaction in a job well done, and then go have a few beer and mellow out. COMMENTARY: This is just EXERCISE masquarading as a sport ... it's not that big of a deal. Is it? Chill out, please. Why make enemies questioning the integrity of others? If you don't believe a person's times ... great ... cross them off your mental list of "contenders" or "people I would like to spend time with" and get on with doing things with more rewarding results. Why attack them publicly? Does that REALLY make you feel better about yourself?
