Rowing is a much more enjoyable activity for me than stationary cycling --- I have the Concept 2 as well standing by at home ,

Even with one at home, I feel blessed to have an Olympic training center for rowing right in my backyard --- on a nice day I like to drag one out on their patio and get in a workout in the sun --- and I will often follow up with a bike ride



Even won this t shirt in a unofficial "distance contest" of sorts a few years back leading up to the London Olympics ---- elite resident athletes were obviously not taking part in the contest, -- I pulled between 10 and 15,000 meters a day for 2 weeks and won in a landslide.

Note: I didn't win by skill, but rather attrition --- I really like the activity, and most of the other participants skipped a day or three here and there or just lost interest after the first 2 or 3 days ---

As a Clyde, I don't get many tokens of athletic achievement anymore, so this humble tee shirt will stay in the trophy case a while I think


And to the OP, -- I was over 300 lbs then , but at the lofty height of 5'9"


I feel like it compliments my cycling and some days I can get in a row when I don't feel like messing with the bike at all

----- On the flip side, I use the rower to warm up for cycling --- the elite athletes use spin bikes to warm up for rowing -- I have seen these guys and gals go for an hour on the spin bike working up a lather Before getting on the rower for their real workout . Its nice to be young and gifted
