I'd like to thank Concept2 and VitalMX

I got 3rd Saturday, I believe less than a second behind you, congrats. Not to make excuses, you beat me "straight up", but it would have helped to have the average time up on the display. I started off in the 1:25's and ended up in the upper 1:30's, but my average was a 1:31.0. I thought I had no shot since I slowed so much, and kind of dogged it a bit at the end. If I had known how close I was....anyway I'll wear my Rider Down T-Shirt with pride.

Had too much fun in Lodo Saturday night to row on Sunday.

And I happened to witness that dude on Sunday row a 1:24.7. He was about 6'1" and was pretty big (probably around 220 lbs) and muscular, but not ripped. Perfect form, long strokes. Started off at about a 1:22 pace and finished at about a 1:26 pace. Very impressive. Did you row late in the day? I thought second place was in the 1:27's.

The 1:24.7 was after the second moto.

One more hard pull and I might have had you! Congrats, you wanted it bad, throwing up after both, especially doing it again on Sunday! I told my buds to keep me away from that damn thing on Sunday, but I had to go and watch.

A real big muscular dude got on the rower after I rowed my 1:31.0 on Saturday. He hit it HARD for about 25 seconds, around a 1:22 pace. He was rowing so hard he was popping little rower wheelies - me and another guy actually stood on the front of the rower. Then his face got real red and dropped to a 1:40 pace for about 10 seconds. Then he stopped and they had to help him get off the rower. I don't think he'd rowed before.

So when does the VitalMX Concept 2 winter series start??

You people have "issues". One day maybe I'll get into a shape other than a pear.

You're right, we have issues. Them damn rowers are addictive. Your pear comment reminded me of our chief of police's T-shirt:


I'm in Shape
Round is a Shape

I am sorry I could not be there. The pictures were awesome. If anyone has questions about training on the Concept2 or anything else feel free to contact me. Round and Pear are only good shapes if you live in a fruit bowl or one of the fruit of the loom guys. I hear they make good money! but can't ride a bike for shit ( I think it is the short arms)

Concept 2 rowers, and Greg for that matter, are awesome!

Thanks Man! your shake weight is in the mail LOL. 2011 Loretta Lynn's DMXS Concept2 Shake weight Challenge is on!
