I am a retired Navy Veteran. My first piece of cardio gear was a rowing machine (not a Concept 2) that I used quite a bit when I was on active duty. It eventually came apart after multiple moves. The construction was no where near as good as the Concept 2 rower.

After moving to Arizona, I took up recreational distance running and entered a couple dozen races ranging from 5Ks all the way up to marathons.

I've decided to throttle back from the distance running and transition to rowing. It's getting pretty tough running outside in the desert heat during the summer. Rowing will surely help me maintain/improve my fitness levels and save some wear and tear on my knees.

After just one week with the Concept 2, I realize how clueless I was about stroke efficiency when I was rowing 30 years ago. Looking forward to learning more from everyone in the community!
