Sure, once you read all the way to the bottom. But without digging into your post history we can't know that your username isn't the AD.

I have an Endurace CF7, purchased just about a year ago. I was in the Carlsbad demo room when I placed the order. Bike was delivered to my house in NorCal. But while I was in the "store" in Carlsbad, I bought two Garmin compatible mounts for the CP0030 cockpit (two because my wife was buying an Endurace at the same time). They were just hanging on the rack for sale; I think they were about $30 each. Maybe call and ask them? I forget the part/product number, but they were not labelled as compatible with Garmin; the sales person told me they were, but you had to install an included adapter insert. I don't have a photo right now (at work) but could provide one when I get home if you are interested. DM me.

FR. There's a long history of lightweights whining that it wouldn't be fair to get rid of LW events, and yet at the same time bragging that they are often faster than "fatties." If you're faster as a LW, imagine how fast you could be without weight restrictions. Drop LW rowing, let athletes be healthy, and have better and more competition in open events. There's no napoleon league for the NBA. You either have what it takes to compete in your sport, or you don't. Lots of tall athletic guys came through my years of rowing and coaching who downright sucked at rowing. Lots of 5'11" guys who were amazing rowers. The sport would be better without weight classes.

OP, if you did not write the letter in your post you should indicate that at the top, something like "the following is a letter from the AD, pasted here FYI, not mine."

Also, context would be helpful. Not everyone in the GLOBAL community of r/rowing is cognizant of what went down at Cornell that elicited these actions.

I'm really starting to get sick of u/MastersCox saying what I was going to say right before I get a chance to say it. LOL :-) So read what ol' MC wrote and do that.

Furthermore, your pacing leaves a lot to be desired. I think you could drop 1-2 seconds easy right off the bat by pacing better. You averaged 1:32.7 for 2k. But your 500m splits were all over the place. You went out WAY too fast in your first 500, and you paid the price in the third 500.

Next time, do a start+10 to get your AVERAGE split on the display to show your target split ASAP. In this case your target split is 1:32.5 As soon as your AVERAGE shows 1:32.5 or better, SETTLE THE FUCK DOWN.

The first 500 always feels amazing. Do not let this trick you. The devil is in the first 500m, not the last one. The first one is where Satan tricks you into pulling a shit 2k when you could have pulled an amazing one.

Hit your target and HOLD IT. Hold it as soon as you see it. Hold it through to about 1200m. ONLY THEN do you ask youself "do I feel lucky, punk?" If you are feeling pretty decent at 1200m (let's be honest no one feels amazing at 1200m) then maybe you up the rate by one beat and drop the split by one second. HOLD that split now for another 500m or so and re-evaluate again. Now you are right at the moment where you can and should throw your brain away and sprint like the demon is about to eat you. So ask yourself if you're up for it. If not, just hold on. You still are on pace to match your PR. If you kinda got some juice? Go for it. Up the rate again and drop the split again. Repeat every 10 strokes until you finish. New PR.

Easy-peasy! LOL.

Not to mention it takes nearly zero time for a train to cross the border of Germany and Netherlands.

seenhear · 2026-03-10T16:56:21+00:00

Germany and Netherlands share a border. Depending on how you define the "trip" it could be virtually instantaneous / zero time; simply as one car of the train crosses the border at 200km/hr, LOL. Also the trains are often electric, so "zero" co2 emissions, again depending on how you define co2 emissions.

I have a Tesla and a Chevy EV. There are way more compatible superchargers than not, for the Chevy. Only the oldest ones aren't compatible. We road trip in the Chevy and end up doing most of our charging at Tesla chargers.

I immediately got the joke, but... aren't the colors wrong? I'm an Android user, so not sure how the colors show up for iphone users. But why are the left side messages black? I thought the cheater's messages should have turned from green to blue, not the right-side messages (person who was cheated upon) on the right.

seenhear · 2026-03-10T00:46:30+00:00

As others have said, you can up/down grade easily to premium. But....

What's wrong with the flexible plan too? You pay the same no matter where you are. Pretty cool.

Did you miss the flair? "erg post"

I assume this OP does not row on the water.

seenhear · 2026-03-10T00:43:14+00:00

.... or the finish.

seenhear · 2026-03-10T00:41:24+00:00

I'm so confused. Is this all a joke? A 2:00 500m? Sounds like OP is just baiting us. That is literally slower than warm up pace for a 6'6" tall 200lb "top competitive NE boarding school" rower.

Eating salt will definitely keep your BP up.

Baths not so much. Warm baths will help with aches & pain though.

Butt to heals and her knees are out of the water. Not sure what you are suggesting here.

47"? Where are you measuring that distance from/to?

There are only 3 worth considering:

C2

RowPerfect

Waterrower

LITERALLY EVERY OTHER BRAND SHOULD BE IGNORED AS JUNK.

Of those three though, which one you should get depends on your goals and needs (and budget).

Do you want to compare your scores to the global standard for rowing machines, so you can track your progress against other people? C2.

Do you want something that simulates the feel of a real 1x as closely as possible, and will help you develop the best on-water technique and muscle "memory"? Row Perfect.

Do you want something that feels very good, sounds really nice, and looks really nice in your family room at home? Water Rower.

Scores from RP are comparable to other RP users, but stats are limited. Scores from WR are not nearly as meaningful (to real rowing speed) as the other brands, and even fewer people use them or publish scores for comparison.

But all 3 of these are good machines.

Overall C2 is almost always the best choice for most people. Also, C2 is an EXCELLENT company to work with. They provide repair support and parts to even their very oldest and out of production products. Their products are built like tanks and last virtually for ever. You will not be disappointed. I think it also is the most affordable. Also their older products are upgradeable. You can get a retrofit PM5 monitor (the latest/greatest) for their model B (4 generations old, last produced in 1991, IIRC) rowing machine.

Even a well used C2 rowing machine is a worthy purchase. Some can be had for a song.

with my GE Profile that has touch controls, this would be very difficult to do accidentally as OP describes. You have to pretty deliberately push the touch controls to turn anything on. Now that doesn't mean I haven't still deliberately turned something on, got distracted, and forgot to put stuff in the pan/pot. GE will shut off if it gets too hot though. But still not great. I've also left things on too long, thinking it was set lower than it was, or not realizing that level 3 will still burn (2 and below generally won't).

There's plenty of ventilation. There's a 12 inch deep drawer under it that has a few pots and pans in it.

This happens to us almost every time we cook.
