Finally I got a Concept II machine and started rowing again. Maybe i was embarrased into it by my gut, maybe a recent invitation to row at sea made me nervous... but whatever, so I borrowed a friend's machine and got my family to kiss my gut goodbye.
First day on the machine and my 2000m time was 9:57 - not a bad start. I am pleased to report that this is faster than one of the rowing world records (but this one was set by a 92 yearold yank - see chart to left (source: http://www.concept2.co.uk/records/index.php?type=2000_world).
And, I am postulating Traynor's law, that your Actual age (A), divided by your Rowing age (R) [based on the age of the WR holder that equals your time] is equal to you a constant (Tr), multiplied by your IQ (I), divided by your Waist squared (W).
So A / R = Tr * I / W^2
and... I am hoping to make it to 95 - where as long as I can do 2000m I will set a World Record.
God Bless Ergos
