I completed the DW 125 non-stop canoe race this easter and am now back into rowing

I am the other half of the wife-husband team on the 10,000 meter board and in Free Spirits. We stayed on the 10K board the last two years, and are somewhat less compulsive now, but we intend to finish on the 10K board again. We started erging at the suggestion of a trainer at an US Sailing symposium in 2003 that rowing was more sailing specific than elliptical machines. Like many others on the boards, a former long distance runner with defective legs.

Fredericksburg TX USA |
Erg owner since 1988. Back in the 90's I had some top 10 placings for the 1/2 hour and 1 hour rankings and did 10 million meters from 94-98. These days I use the erg mostly for cross training but sometimes get into a groove of accumulating meters.
Road cycling has been my primary sport since the 70's. I am currently riding over 12,000 miles a year and doing weekly long rides of 100 miles or more year round.
If you are a road cyclist who is successfully cross training with the erg, drop me an email.

Having worn out a static cycling machine I bought a C2 and started rowing 8th November 2003. I wish I'd bought one years ago. Am full of admiration of the amazing times logged by some contemporaries but just glad to be feeling a lot fitter. Reached 5m metres May 2007!

Joined Free Spirits in July 2006 and then scared them by doing a mad week of 7 x 50k. Seriously, what a great club. Come and visit at www.freespiritsrowing.com. Better still, join up. We HAVE to get Thomas to the moon!

Newport, Essex Free Spirits GBR |
My water rowing weight was 96kg so my ergo is here in an effort to get me back there. Joining the Free Spirits (www.freespiritsrowing.com) has been fun and encouraged me to get working again.
I managed a few hundred thousand metres last season, but failed to do the annual end of season marathon (I did a FM in 2004 and 2005). New baby and all that... This year my target is 700,000m. Mind you, at the rate I have rowed since the motivation of Free Spirits, I will achieve 2 million! It can't last...

The Georgetown Crew greeting,"Never Row", takes on new meaning on an Erg. There is something to being blissfully ignorant of exactly how you're doing when you hit the wall midway through a piece on the water.

Passed 8 million lifetime meters on 27 November 2006. I've found that focusing on about an hour of rowing per day has been a motivating goal for this season. I also find that being a member of Free Spirits is a very inspiring force as there are so many members whose workouts are just amazing.

Want to make all sorts of goals: 315 squat, 365 deadlift, 20 reps dead hang pullups, 200 reps on the kettlebell Secret Service Snatch Test (email me if you want to know what that is). But most of all...I want to go sub-7 2k on the erg...the greatest exercise machine ever invented. Going to start cranking out the metres now to get the endurance base I'll need to make that goal.
