Re: How did the race go Duff????

  • I'm a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE NM nestie.  I was convinced I posted here, but I guess I didn't.  Sad

    Post above.

    Thanks for asking and for the thoughts!

    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

  • Admit if Flame, you really want to run too  ;)

    I think a race all us Nesties enter would be a great idea!  (maybe a bit shorter than Duff is capable of though)

  • You figured out my secret desire.  I used to have to run in college for X-training with crew.  Everyone used to joke my run was a shuffle with me having a cadence of "I.hate.to.run.I.hate.to.eun"
  • Hehe, I used to hate running too, it wasn't fun, it hurt my knees... blah blah blah.  Somehow that has changed  Wink

    What did you used to do that running was cross training for?

  • In college I rowed crew (sweep eights rowing on women's lightweight, women's open weight and open mixed on both the 2000m and headd race distances) for 3 years. And all that jargon means nothing to non-rowers. 

    For most people, your rowing ergonometer times are supposed to track with your running times over the same distance.  Except for me - I was a snail runner.  Since crew is essentailly is an anaerobic sprint, you cross train with running, especially up in New England when your river freezes over.

     I used to make deals with my coaches - spend 4 times the running distance on the ergonometers, do Green buildings (the 20 story geology building with awful steps), swim tons of laps - anything to get out of running.

  • Wow, that is a kewl sport to be involved in, something that is kind of hard to continue now that you live out here.  I guess considering your rather run stairs than run on a flat surface, I'll give you a pass on the nestie race of was dreaming of  ;)

  • Yeah, I LOVED crew. You sort of had to - you spent 6-8am on the water most days and another 5-10 hours a week in teh weight room.

    My old teammates joke about how I moved to the desert.  It's really not condusive to rowing.  I actually though very seriously about getting a shell and going rowing on Cochiti Lake.  But the whole transprotation thing makes it problematic.

    I would be up for a nestie hike.  Although I hike at a turtle pace.

  • Good idea, I'll need to find a weekend when I can come down  :)
