The Zone Runs Thread - 2013

[mcompton]

I have to have a bourbon and water tonite. I think I'd rather have a beer (running still sux)

 

[Thrasher865]

I have to row a 5k tonight. I think I'd rather run it

That sounds brutal, but I've never done it. How much does your momentum carry you? If you are talking about like crew rowing, it seems like it would at least take considerably less time. I don't know about easier.

Our better girls are between 23-25 minutes. I'm on my way there now. Not excited bc it smokes your legs so bad.

 

[Thrasher865]

Oh so are you doing a single boat?

 

[VolGirlinGA]

Yep. We use Concept2 rowers. It's horrible.

 

[Thrasher865]

I have no idea what that is, but good luck!

 

[Aavoxx]

Slightly dehydrated + running = FAIL

 

[Unknown Muppet]

Rowing is great exercise!

Rowing makes my butt go to sleep.

 

[TEX_VOLFAN]

I can see that if you're on it for 23 minutes.

 

[VolGirlinGA]

I brought a towel. Lol

I have to run off the beer someway, comp.

Fair enough...run away my friend

Running keeps me from wanting to harm dumbazzes.

 

[Aavoxx]

Best time last year was 25:05.

What's everyone's goal? I know Thrash is shooting for 45 minutes. I forget what Gonzo is shooting for.

I'm shooting for 50 minutes. I have a plan.

go on...

Running keeps me from wanting to harm dumbazzes.

It really doesn't do this for me.

 

[Unknown Muppet]

go on...

When I am stressed and dealing with dumbazzes, running causes the release of endorphins which temporarily stifles my desire to harm idiots. Nothing more than that.

My goal is an hour. If I get that, I'm happy.

 

[Aavoxx]

I think Thrash will find 45 minutes is easily attainable as flat as the course is.
