I have been a regular user of the Concept2 rower since 2001, originally as able bodied.
I had a cycling accident in July 2016 resulting in spinal cord injury. I am a tetraplegic; therefore I am an adaptive Concept2 rower.
For the 30+ years prior to this accident I was a competitive athlete (track/field/cross country) who used cycling and rowing as a support for athletics. Post accident I have returned to athletics (throws only) where I am classified by British Athletics as F35.
My life time best perfomances as an able bodied Concept2 rower were all achieved on the 'Model D' in 2004 (when I was 47). These are:
1k-3.19.5
2k-6.46.4,
5k-18.19.5.
My best performances as an able bodied Concept2 rower on the 'Model E' were all achieved when over 50 and these are:
1k-3.25.0 (2007),
2k-7.00.2 (at the BIRC 2008),
5k-18.38.4 (2007),
10k-38.10.8 (2007),
60 minutes-14925metres (2008).
In December 2021 I purchased and had installed in my gym a SkiErg. Never to old for a new experience. Results; we shall have to wait and see!
Note: All the above is documented for a reason; so I can easily review to keep my memory.
