I never said they were.

What was the point of me submitting a time to USIRT that was not obtained via a C2 sanctioned Indoor Rowing regatta, like Dwayne had done on a number of occasions.

This has nothing to do with the ranking system. Dwayne could have submitted his piece whether or not he had the ranking system on which to post it for the rest of us to see - the only basis for complaint here that I can see is that the USIRT/USIRDS organizers were willing to take non-race times for entry onto the development squad. Notice that Dwayne didn't actually get selected for the USIRT last year.

Whatever time I would row Dwayne would have “bettered it”. Yes, if I had gone to an Indoor regatta and competed and pulled a good score would I still have been selected for USIRT or would they take the word that a sub 5.50 had been pulled with a questionable IND_V witness, not a PM3 IND_V code but a “visual” witness.

The dev squad had multiple 40-49 MHWTs, and the actual team had more than one 40-49 MLWT, why do you assume that they wouldn't have taken more than one 40-49 MHWT, especially considering Dwayne's past history of being unable to compete successfully? You certainly aren't going to get selected if you sit around on your butt complaining about how there's no way you can be selected because it isn't fair! We're getting the hint that you didn't like the rules, but here's a tip: the people trying to qualify for the team rarely get to call the shots on what the rules will be.

This is not a new issue for me as I have spoken about it before in some of my very early posts, go back onto the old forum and search for your self.

I think I've read every one of your posts detailing how Dwayne is single-handedly ruining the sport of indoor rowing. Were there any other topics?

You won’t see Dwayne again, he has gone into hiding, instead of coming out fighting and showing us all that he can actually pull the scores he has claimed over the years, instead of doing that he has ran away, “champions” don’t run away.

Seems like you ran away from the opportunity to compete for a slot on the USIRT last season.

I think I'd like to post a conditional bet - namely, that if Dwayne shows up and rows, he'll beat you, because you'll be too busy trying to come to grips with the fact that he actually showed up

Maybe there are a few trees in the way.

You can all suck my arse dry!! DA is faster than CW. Chad has never posted a time. I don't care if you think they're valid or not. So as it stands now. Chad is blowing alot of hot air.

Chad = shit-stain

I don't think that Chad is a US Citizen, therefore is ineligable to qualify!
Maybe wrong however.

Hey Mike:

Glad to see you posting again. I, and I think others, would be interested in your thoughts on any implications of Brooks' work. See the NY Times thread under training.

BTW both my novice daughter and my HS Senior son, who should know much better, told me I was dead wrong that longer workouts like the WP Level 4 are better for producing race speed (1500 for HS) than high intensity interval training. Dad can't possibly know anything since he doesn't row on the water. (Well, four times doesn't really count.) I'm surprised both of them had gotten the same impression. Evidently during winter workouts they only do the longer, slower twice a week.

So let me get this clear, you are NOT willing to bet?

I don't know either one of you, but I'm willing to bet that DA posts a faster race time than you will this season...or ever

That statement wasn't meant to be taken seriously? Or is it indentifying yourself that is troubling?

Excellent verisimilitude.

I'm glad to see that the wet weather hasn't dampened your spirits.

Hey now, you started it, now either stand up and be honorable about the whole thing (or at least have a sense of humor about it), or find a new alias, because you're ruining the one you have now. The language and outburst behavior do resemble others, perhaps you should simply decloak instead of being so mysterious.

I thought Chad did post a time, and even with the IND_V, but removed it later. He has also posted several CTC performances that seem quite plausible.

For the record, I am not DA.

Then he's got even less reason to be ranting about Dwayne cheating him out of his chance to "represent his country" - but in any case, on Jan 16, 2006, Chad asserted "I have been on this forum for many months, Yes, I registered to make this point, it is my right to free speech as an American. I would be interest in other people’s views, this is a discussion forum after all."

My take is that Chad was only interested in the views of other people who agreed with him...
