. . . and got crankin on the SR for the whole shebang so we got something to work with besides manbreast envy.
"best in five years" says he's a serious practitioner not a worldbeater--except maybe in the flicks and his fat wallet.

My favorite Instagram comment "you know there's a 2K setting, right?"... So he can row well. This just means his cardio is crap compared to his strength, which when your money is made from your body, makes sense.

He probably hasn't got time to go to the 2k setting
Straight on and just row

As others have said, darn -- I was pretty pleased that I could take him in a 5K. Now he goes and does a 2K 30 seconds faster than I have ever rowed. :-/ Still, my goal for the year is just 19 seconds slower than he did. Maybe by the end of next year I can pull 6:59...
