How about the new leader on the Annual Meters board:
Joel Smylie, 16 years old, averaging 171,241 per day.
I'm impressed.

It's a prank. I'm ok with it though...I believe the guy.ehagberg wrote:Even more impressive in that he wasn't on the concept2 board long enough to get cached in any search engine - so he's accomplished those meters in a very short amount of time.
Somehow, I'd guess this is a typo.

False Meters
I am jumping on this a bit late. However, I too question Mr Ferris and his amazing meter count. I noticed him a few months ago but thought nothing of it. Then this morning I noticed that some Australian team is right up there. I look into their team page and there I find Mr Ferris. He likes to jump teams a bit.
My personal feeling is that he is full of BS. I row with RowPro, each morning I log my meters via upload and then check to see where I lie, its a kind of motivation. I am in awe of Erics meters and emailed him to say so. I have no problem with Eric questioning Mr Ferris meters, Erics meters are built on hard work, and so are mine. I am not saying that all of Mr Ferris's meters are false, just a few million!
When someone logs their meters on this site you are setting a level of competition, your saying to the rowing public "see, look what I have done" you could just log them in a book by your rowing machine and not make it public, that would be a lot easier, but your not, your making a statement that assumes a level of accuracy and honesty (unless you post a rider that states that it is a work of fiction)
My wife is an outstanding athlete, (She was the 9th female overall in the Chicago Triathlon) she trains 4 hours a day 7 days a week, she highly doubts the time commitment needed to compile these meters. I tend to listen to people (Eric, My Wife) that put the hours in that most of us can’t even begin to think about.
