I was so disappointed with my 1000m time that I figured I’d try this one.
225lbs is my weight and I did 500 in 1:27 this morning.
  I can improve this easily I feel. I’m lookin towards shaving of 5-8 seconds. (Seconds become very long periods of time doing this!)

Nice job, Tait!!! 

Refining technique can make a big difference in rowing - I bet you can shave those seconds off, too.  You should video tape it when you do it next!

Interesting. We did two 500 m rows this morning. I have a ways to go before I’m at 1:40! Well, it will come with time. (Where are Pat Kelly’s long legs when you need ‘em??)

Keep us posted Noah…if 3:30 is for folks on the short bus, then someone get me a hockey helmet so i dont bang my head on the window! My time of 3:23 damn near made me choke on my esophogus(sp?).

Burch….It clearly states to post your time AND weight. Since you failed to follow instructions, I’m sorry to inform you that your score of 3:22 doesn’t count. wink
  Keep an eye out behind ya Burch. I WILL beat my previous time within the month (if, of course, I dont paralyze myself trying!)
  Good job. That’s a FAST pull Burch!
