Rowed a 4x1250m yesterday. Times were okish but not enough to intimidate WMMK

300 situps
200 jump squats
100 pushups
3 mile run in 23:48. Not terrific, but it was 97 out, and we'd just done 200 jumpsquats. Finished 4 minutes ahead of the next dude, ~8 minutes ahead of the pack, ~12 minutes ahead of the slow kids.
EDIT:
Pulled a 30' piece on the erg in the afternoon. Splits were at about 2:00.
We have 70 guys trying out this fall, so we're pulling 2k's instead of 6k's at the end of tryouts. 6:49.9 is the goal.

**** yeah it does. Tryouts today were:
10 min. jog to hills
2x10 min. hill run (5 min. rest interval)
10 min. jog back to boathouse
7x1 min. on/1 min. off
First 6 splits in the 1:38.0-1:38.7 range
Last split was 1:33.5
Those were the fastest erg times anyone pulled all day.

40 mins. in the tanks. I sat 7 seat, which was hopefully a good sign.
Then 2x6' on the erg, STRICTLY rate capped at a 24. First piece was 47.4, second was 47.2.
Then did the whole 300 situps, 200 jumpees, 100 pushups routine along with some more general core/conditioning circuit stuff. Kind of half-assed that part of the day because my whole body ******* hurt.

At the end of a arms/shoulders workout, did 4k @ 1:52.0 @ 22spm. Forearms didn't feel good after.
Nice splits recently WMMK.

1:52r22 for a 4k, after an arms workout, as a lwt. (you still are, right?) is damn impressive.
Anyway, tryouts ended today and rosters were posted. I'm apparently skipping my 2nd novice season to row Varsity, which, from what I gather, isn't supposed to be allowed in my program. Thanks, StyleForvm, for playing a small role in helping me catch the rowing bug.

ADDA ******* BOY. Nicely done WMMK. You're well on your way to an Ivy scholarship and a life run by crew contacts

For my time, kinda ok, was hoping for better but I'm comparing my times to when I rowed 10-12x a week and it was my life. So improvements will come and I'm still chasing your times WMMK

It's been a while. I've moved house, and now have enough space to set up my Concept 2 Model B again!
I had stored it away disassembled as I bought it from my rowing club years ago and wanted to overhaul it before using which I had no space for in our previous home. So, just now I have cleaned and checked it. There are some parts I would want to replace before putting everything together again.
Checking out my local distributors website I see they do not stock all the relevant B parts. Also, compared to the manufacturers site, they're quite expensive. Perhaps someone here would be willing to proxy for me in ordering parts directly from Concept2? They only sell to US and Canadian addresses. Send me a pm if you can help out.

20 mins. core
20 mins. erg. 1:54.9 avg. for 20', rate capped at a 20, on a really ****** old Model C. It hurt.
20 mins. stairs
The past 5 days were on the water. All the technical stuff is falling into place nicely. I figure I might as well make a push for our Head of the Charles boat. 90% chance it won't happen, but it's a good reason to go a little extra hard for this season.
