Annual Meter Board

Post by ehagberg » June 20th, 2006, 1:42 pm

Am I the only one who finds the topmost entry on the Annual Meter Board to be a little hard to believe? Someone who wasn't anywhere on the top page last year comes along and is now hitting almost double the meters of those just behind him... about 69k/day on average.

So on the days he's erging/rowing, he's putting in about 4.5 hours, and to make up for the occasional day off he's doing 9 hours or so? (This assumes about a 2:00/500m pace, which might be generous.)

If I'm wrong and there's a reasonable honest explanation for such obsessive erging (and I thought I was bad), I'll happily apoplogize.

Well ask him
He is with team free spirits, they've got a thread on the UK Forum!

Happy rowing

Doesn't have an email address in his C2 profile and he doesn't actually post on the C2 UK forum, except secondhand.

Where is this "Annual Meter Board?" I have looked over the forum, the C2 website, the rankings, etc. but have been unable to locate it. Frustrating, since I vaguely remember seeing something like that last season.

The closest thing that I can get to it now is the University/Club standings and hunting around aimlessly in that.

You're saying you believe the meters he's posted?

He happened to be a rower of the day within the last couple weeks I think :?
I thought then that the comments in his bio were pretty amazing. :shock:
From his 60 min distance he needs to be doing at least 5.5 h per day, with no misses!!!! :o :o :o :o And since he didn't start out at that pace he's been having to do more than that everyday!
I find it a little difficult to see how one can find the time and energy to do that amount of exercise every single day, day in and day out, but Ranger, for example also exercises quite a bit every day. Some people have extraordinary abilities.

People who honestly log their meters and are on the same page as this guy are more likely to care. Others who aren't anywhere near? Probably not so much.

I usually wouldn't care.
But he is member of a team that has shot to the top positions out from nowhere. And some teams take the rankings quite seriously.
3,5 mio meters less would make them loose some positions and get out of the top3.
Don't think this will do the team's credibility any good...
Anyway sad to be discussing the same items over and over again
