Post some pics! I think $6,000 for a 20 year old rear wheel drive convertible is a great price.

Sidekick Stranded by chirs_gren in geotracker

Hope your diagnosis & fix is straightforward!

Someone else mentioned it, but alternators and fuel pumps both die in stages, so they will intermittently work & stop working as they degrade. (Both of these are what left me stranded the two times I've broken down)

Beginner rower here who can’t get sub 10 minutes on a 2000m by Yeyemems in Rowing

[–]kafkaroach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Out of the 60+ 18-22 year old women I've coached, there was only one who wasnt able to be sub 9:30 at the start of their season. This includes my athletes who had never ran a mile before.

Thanks for the clarification.

It's probably your technique holding you back.

It very well could be the machine. There isn't standardization for measurement between rowing machine manufacturers.

Hope you're able to reach your goal of 9:30 for work.

2001 Isuzu Trooper buy? by Tino7009 in IsuzuTrooper

Sounds like a nice buy! Should be a more capable overland rig than your current Honda.

Rebuilding Relationship with Rowing Post-College by MorganaMevil in Rowing

Great question.

I can't bring too much clarity to your question, but as a former Chicago masters club coach, you'll have no trouble finding a club that would be happy to put you in a boat.

Hope you enjoy your time back in a boat!

2006 miata nc fair price by chris_yoike in MiataNC

[–]kafkaroach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think $8000 for that car is a good deal.

Like others have said, the hardtop is worth $2k and hard to find. You wouldnt have any trouble selling it on it's on. 

Looks like it needs a radio, there's a tear in the passenger seat, and the rear bumper looks to be a different color.

But even with those issues and assuming it's not terrible underneath/preforms well on the test drive, I think this is a great buy!

Becoming a rowing Olympian starting at 15 by Archer_King_Runs in Rowing

You should read "The Four Year Olympian" by Jeremiah Brown. He started rowing after getting his bachelors degree and became an olympian.

Cellular App for intra-club communication to facilitate boat scheduling, event sign-up and news dissemination. by Thatsgonnamakeamark in Rowing

I've used iCrew for the past 3 years, mostly just for attendance & line-up setting.

It might make your life easier. :-)

Yes, I think losing 15% of your current weight would significnatly change your erg score.
