(2007) I purchased my erg after much careful consideration but without having actually used one. My primary goal at this time is weight loss and general fitness.

(2018) I rowed a little over 20,000 meters in 2007 and sold my machine in favor of bike riding. Now, in 2018, I'm a Type 2 Diabetic and I bought another C2 primarily to increase my fitness level and secondarily for short and long-term blood sugar control.

I'm currently on a Beta-Blocker, which restricts my heart rate so I'll probably never put up any impressive numbers. :(

(April 2020) In January I developed DVT in my right leg and PE in both lungs. Once I recovered enough to try rowing again, I discovered that it aggravated the areas of my leg there is likely valve damage in the veins that had blood clots. I sold the rower and got on the waiting list for a bikeerg.

(05/26/2020) I am now using the bikeerg exclusively.

(05/20/2021) I am splitting my time between the bikeerg and a real bike.
