I've also recorded 13.6 for 100 metres, 2:39 for 1000 metres and have a max pull of 1:05 (unassisted off a dead start). I previously held the world 1 hour record and have a 2000 metre PB of 5:51, set as a master competeitor (which was actually a fairly respectable time 14 years ago when I did it). <br /><br />I currently race kayaks and canoes and am currently trying to win back my national open canoe sprint title at the age of 44. I also hold all the world open canoe paddling erg records on the C2 (with paddle adapter) as well as the world kayak erg record over 200 metres on the German made Paddlelite kayak erg. <br /> <br /><a href='http://www.concept2.co.uk/forum/viewtop ... c&start=15' target='_blank'>http://www.concept2.co.uk/forum/viewtop ... tart=15</a> <br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />How is this information about Leo Young related to this thread? <br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />It,s an older guy who want's to try to get a worldrecord.

For some reason, I thought you might be trying to imply that Chad Williams was the secret identity of Leo Young.

Sirrowsalot, <br /><br />O no I wasn't thinking in that direction at all. Just an older athlete who performs very well, that was the only reason.

Then I was in Stuttgart one October and have since lost all taste for it. If you've ever been in the Stuttgart valley in the fall, you know what I mean. The valley stinks of rotting cabbage leaves.

Ok Dwayne,<br /><br />let me tell you that I am an original Stuttgart highlander and I tell you what I did in the last hour: df 120, 23-24 spm result: I nearly collapsed with a result of 16 k´s. and I think the flywheel is still spinning. So I ask you once again: It can´t be the Sauerkraut, what is your secret???<br /><br />p.s: Normally I train during the winter season with df 220, sometimes I took of the metalcover, so I have a df > 300. For the summer season I go down to 180, this is equal to the drag in my single scull. But I couldn´t imagine how a heavyweight like you get enough drag for 6 minutes of 500+ Watt.<br /><br />Jürgen

If someone can do a 6 min 2 k with drag 170 hw can also do something likewise with a much lower drag. I myself use a drag of 100 for the longer pieces and for a 2 k I use 120. Only for the shorter pieces I have trouble to hard enough. And although I am certainly not able go go below 5.50 I want to row 6.10 next season and I am going to use 120. <br />I am also only 6.1/1.86 so a short heavyweight.<br /><br />Ps The trouble with high drag and low rate is the slowing down off the fan. every pull you have to excellerate again. With a lower drag you have to be faster but the fan keeps spinning much better. It takes a little time to get used to.

I know how much time you have to spent in this aerobic b...sh.... I am concvinced that a guy with such tremedous, unbelievable extensive work IS ABLE TO DO 5:46! <br /><br />And a word to all the other 40-49-ers like Andreas an the others, it is all impressive what you present, but if one is so stupid and silly to row over 40 k´s a day (as an average!) we should respect that. <br /><br />I am a little disappointed that I haven´t the time to race in Boston this year (new job), but what I will miss more is the beer at the bar afterwards (especially with Andreas). Times sub 6:10 are outstanding for our age group and a lot of the OPEN CLASS rowers would be happy if they would be able to do this. Is there any problem for a hard working senior like us. I would say NO, Senior! If yes go out have another Tequilla, look on your banque account and <br /><br />Greetings Jürgen<br /><br /><br /><br />
