      @ Will - 6' 2" 185...sound a lot like











      sorry ... im just getting over my 7 year rowing career which ended 2 months ago.
      bittersweet, but for the better i know.
      18 hrs/week year round has made me miss out on little things, makes school harder 10 fold.
      i really think that i should had ended my career last year, instead of re-injuring my back, that i must live with now.

      cheers to those good times. buuuuut rowing taught me so much, it helped me grow as a person.

        ^ I thought about getting into rowing when I was in high school, but the time commitment sounded like way too much for me.

                Its been said that I throw a draft like a freight train. I was the most coveted wheel in the WCCC for a sprint lead-out, the problem was, if I was on that day, no one was going around me for the win. Oddly enough at 180lbs I sucked, I was slow, with no power, at 190, kinda the same thing. Right now I'm 200 and holy shit I'm embarrassingly slow. The other issue with being that big, you can't get a draft off anyone.

                            pants it looks like you figure it all outz on your posts. the grey/red is illumination which your harness doesn't have so your unit must use the 12v line or something
