Inspiring and congratulations from another relatively new member of the 50+ posse. Great things are possible at any age with discipline and desire drives that nature.

Ridiculous fast. Only 4 seconds above the overall record. Which would be a 5.55 2k percentagewise converted.

I like the movies!
Normally I think "how can they take it"?
With Shawn I think: "how can the erg take it".

Nice work Shawn! Have a feeling that one won't be as easy for you to break for at least a few weeks!
