While this may sound stupid the other night i was attempting to teach my mother how to row strangley enough she seemed to pull harder with her arms rather then push with her legs (the split was lower with fixed slide as opposed to legs only rowing)so i made her do some legs only rowing i encouraged her to push harder and well she lifted her self off the seat and fell off. it was hilarious how ever mum wasnt laughing she eneded up with a giant bruise from where she fell on the slide and hit the ground and her feet were still stuck in the foot strecher. if this was to happen on the model e im sure the consequences would be far worse with possibly a broke, fractured, sprained ankle due to the longer fall etc i know it isnt a regualr occurance but people do some times faint.

British Indoor Records
I have a question, for anyone who might know, but I'm addressing it to Chad. A source would be appreciated as well. The answer must be somewhere on a Concept2 web site.Chad Williams wrote:
I have answered my own question.
Given your 1K time that I saw with splits under 1:25, it is reasonable for you to be shooting for a sub 6:03 time in November at BIRC. My question concerns British records. Is a British record the best time at a rowing event held in the U.K. or the best time by a Brit, rowed anywhere? I looked on the U.K. site for several minutes (not exhaustively) and did not find a clarification.

Re: British Indoor Records
As I understand it, to qualify for a British Record that person has to be a British citizen.tennstrike wrote:Given your 1K time that I saw with splits under 1:25, it is reasonable for you to be shooting for a sub 6:03 time in November at BIRC.

The only record a person from overseas could get at BiRC is a Championship Record or some kind of All Comers’ Record.
To answer your other question, I will indeed be shooting for a time quicker than 6.03 at BiRC, I intend to make progress over the coming months not take steps backwards.
Good question, I'd like to know this as well!Exrook wrote:Will the new Model E be compatible with slides?

All you do is set the erg on the slides.
So the model E should work with them the same as the C and the D.

Sure John, so I assume you are privy to the engneering specs on the E to know, without a doubt, that the width of the legs on the E will allow an E model to fit on the slides properly. Yes?John Rupp wrote:All you do is set the erg on the slides.

Re: British Indoor Records
Thanks for the answer. Makes sense. Just surprised I couldn't read that somewhere. And I'm sure you knew that the context of sub 6:03 was what is posted as the current British 2K record for 40-49 of John Dixon from Bannatynes H Club at 6:03.8 in 2002. Good luck and shoot for sub 5:58, if that is still the current world record.Chad Williams wrote: To answer your other question, I will indeed be shooting for a time quicker than 6.03 at BiRC,

From the picture posted on page 2 by c2Bill, the width of the feet seems to be identical (about 2 inches) for both models, so it shouldn't be a problem with the slides.
BTW, I got mine and love them. You were right that they make your legs work harder. Unfortunately, and unlike JR, I am not any faster on them!
Cheers!
