Team Row Pain, Row Gain

[[old] RockinRobin]

Mary, sorry to hear about your water leaks! That's definately the time not to row...we don't want your erg to sink! I feel much better today and if my nose will stop dripping long enough, I would get on and row a few....<br /><br />...anybody know a good way to row with one hand so I can hold my box of tissues???

[May you have all the tea you need in your local harbour.]

Had a liberating experience today. After 3 days of rowing, I've finally taken the time to row most of the distances so I have a personal time for each. My thought was, this would help me see progress, hence motivation... you get the drift.<br /><br />Well the liberating experience was the fact that my rankings were SO low that I almost have nowhere to go but up. In one distance, the system tells me that that my ranked standing is such that 100% of the people are faster. LOL How can I get worse than that?! <br /><br />(Don't you DARE point out that new people are always adding times and that I will, de facto, continue to move DOWN the list unless I improve )

Apologies for absence - mixture of travel, and then catching a stomach bug. <br /><br />Hope to start contributing some metres later this week, and help to marmalise the Netherlanders.

I look at Personal Best times, forget about comparing until you have at least of month of meters logged. Also look at Xeno he has a video of his stroke I just shaved almost a minute off my 5K by changing my stroke.<br />Good Luck and take it one row at a time and remember the meters are cummulative, calories expended, that's what counts!<br />Mary

Adams on <a href='http://concept2.com/sranking03/challeng ... aff+Attack"' target='_blank'>Taff Attack</a>. He's got over 3.1 million meters this season already.. He averages more than a marathon a day.
