How do you like it compared to the C2?  Do you miss having a damper to adjust drag?  What about the monitor compared to the PM5?

2k PR. Doing a few shorter sessions to try and improve to a 19:00 5k. Doubt if I'll hit that this month. The challenge has been great "type 2 fun"

A couple of years ago there was a million meter (for the year) thread. Ant chance we could get another one rolling?

Last day for this challenge tomorrow.  Get your meters in while you can.

Also, added a million meter challenge thread, pinned at the top.  Plenty of time to get your Kms in this year.

I was wondering when yours was going to get delivered.  IIRC, you just need the included torx driver that comes in the box.  It’s super simple to put together.  Congrats! You’ll love it.

I was in Vegas for four days this month but this was my contribution to the team:

Still figuring out all the links and settings on logs.

Did 2000m while watching the technique video.

This thing is pretty fun.

Those are harder to find than rowers right now, and much more expensive.

Lol. Sorry for the slight thread derail.

The action is super smooth and the trigger is light and breaks real clean. It’s pretty accurate. You’ll have a blast! This is the 5-round test group at 50m:

There's a biathlon game, I'm going to play with it and see if I can incorporate my mantis blackbeard system, and laser academy. This is timely because I'm enrolled in a biathlon clinic mid-February. Yes, that's XC skiing and shooting exotic European .22 rifles.

nice... I'm not gonna lie, I'm a weirdo who practices dry firing on a balance board.

I'm gonna have to do a lot of form work.

I felt like I was doing zero work with my legs and everything with my arms.

or I just have super puss arms. that's probably most of it.

You should join us in the precision .22 thread. That's an awesome group. I need to up my precision .22 game, and buy a biathlon rifle. Looks like there's a common answer only a few paychecks away!
View Quote



Thanks!  Sorry to derail your thread.  I really appreciate 22’s but that can get really expensive!  Finding the right lot number and buying a pallet of ammo.  I’ll look into it in a bit but they’re probably shooting scoped tactical 22’s?  For that, I just shoot a Sako Quad w/ a Nightforce.  

Here is the bolt assembly for the straight pull Fortner biathlon action.  The locking balls retract when you pull the bolt to the rear.  They pop back out and lock the bolt in place when pushed forward:

For a really cool 3-position rifle, check out the Grunig & Elmiger R3 Racer. Incredible. That thing is awesome but I’d need to win the lottery!

That’s great that you’re up to 5,000m so quickly.  Check out the Beginner Pete Plan (BPP) as well.  That incorporates steady state rows and intervals increasing in distance every week.  It also gives you plenty of optional days to row as well as rest days.  A heart rate monitor has been a must for me.

thats a good plan. I'm gonna print it out. thank you.

it was also the second 5,000m, I did one the first night after I put it together (new toy!). I just didn't have the log book set up on line so it didn't got to my strava.

one question, on the recovery and catch, is there anything in specific I can do to get the catch better, it often feels like there's no tension at first and I miss the power from my legs to get going, occasionally I'll get a really good one and put down a lot more power but for the most part it feels... over run? do I need to slow down... slower to get that to happen?

keeping my back straight and not slouching over has been the hardest part to keep in mind.

Derail at will! We have this perfectly good thread and the rowing content has moved on. Unless I can convince the UW rowing team to let me bring a rifle on the boat.

Maybe we should start a biathlon thread.

Yep I’m pro-derail, there will be another team challenge right around the corner. Can do a new thread for that.

I haven’t even considered getting in to the precision .22 game yet.

Nice effort! It is incredibly hard to go fast on these things. I intended to join the 1 million mile group but I haven't been back in the seat since the challenge ended. Fell off my running program this week too

Need to scrape it together and get back in the swing of things tomorrow.

I see what y'all are saying about the seat now.

Next up to buy list. heartrate monitor and ass pad.

I bought the vapor fitness seat pad. The only perceptible benefit is that my machine looks slightly cooler in an OD motif

No discernible benefits for comfort or longevity. I am packing some extra weight though, if you have a bony butt it might be a better deal. Their website showed out of stock but I emailed them directly and he responded that there was a used model for about 60% off. I didn't have any qualms about a used ass-pad and bought it. It's worth reaching out.
