Did 35 minutes of intervals today. Five minutes on, one minute off. Damper setting 4, which was exponentially tougher than 1. I actually started out with the plan to do 30 minutes of 50spm at ds 4, but after 10 minutes, I knew it wasn't going to fit with my training intensity plan. So I switched...

Indiana requires a permit for human-powered craft on state parks, state-managed lakes, state forest and Division of Outdoor Recreation lakes. The permit is per boat and good at all properties. Annual permit is $5 per non-power watercraft. If you are registered/permitted in another state, you...

That is fantastic. I have the original saved and look forward to an upscaled resolution version becoming available soon.

While I was typing the above, I fed a question into ChatGPT6, a paid llm that I use semi-regularly. Here is the result, sans imagery and graphs. PROMPT: "Find the average stream flow of the hood river for the past 2 decades. Separate dry year averages from wet. Account for snowpack variability...

The very existence of the internet as a think space for human ideas is on the precipice of failure. Any human with a connection can now access, distill, and disseminate all of humanity's knowledge in seconds. "Jesse" is how this is possible. Infinite crawlers, updating information in real time...

You are definitely the most experienced erg user in my sphere of influence, and I REALLY appreciate your willingness to share that knowledge. Have you found a particular damper setting that best replicates your solo paddle catch?

Yeah, I can definitely boost my erg numbers by driving the shaft rearwards a lot farther than would be even remotely acceptable for a canoe stroke. Like shaft almost parallel to the floor. I have my erg setup so if I try to drive past my hip, the pulley hits a stop. The catch is also a...

Man, I was NOT feeling it this morning. I intended to put in an hour at low spm but higher wattage. That went out the window after 30 minutes. I can see where there is a definite intersection of muscular fatigue and cardio output. Which, completely predictably, is probably going to come out at...

This is something I am experimenting with on the erg. Slower cadence/more applied power per stroke vs. Higher cadence/lower power My premise is that preference or performance with regard to paddle stroke cadence and power may be a variation in neuromuscular makeup, and may very well be...

Man, learn something new every time I log in around here. Thanks!

"Nearly synonymous" 😉😁

November goal met above, December goal met today with an hour at 60spm and HR generally under 130bpm. Damper setting 1, so the catch wasn't very tough to pull through, but I am encouraged by the progress. 5 minute 40spm warmup. I focused on keeping the stroke short, withdrawing at the hip and...

Not to mention that the Kruger moniker is synonymous with decked expedition craft. Weird choice for an open boat with recurved stems. The resolution on the label looks slightly better than the surrounding fabric and gunnel lines, also. From an image analysis request: The supplied photograph...

That listing is the only publically available evidence that such a boat exists. Seems counter to their usual pomp and circumstance to put one in the wild without an announcement

@Alan Gage I would love to have a private sales aspect to the show. An auction could definitely be a pathway for that.

@snapper I have not reached out to any existing events yet, save for the original Canoecopia. My current trajectory is to: 1. Establish the scope and purpose 2. Gauge general interest 3. Gauge industry interest After that, I will recruit some advisors, revisit point 1, and start nailing down...

I would encourage all to vote. Indiana being an unacceptable location is totally fine. 1. I'm trying to poll the group as a whole 2. The rest of the answers may benefit someone looking at doing the same thing, but closer to you.

Please select responses that most closely align with your ideals. Due to limitations on polling setup, this is the only way to ask multiple questions in the same poll. I had a lot more questions, but apparently this is the maximum number of responses allowed. Please drop any other thoughts you...

I was thinking about this thread while using the erg this morning. Every single person that has come into the gym while I have it set up wants to know what it is and what I am training for. Some of the younger (20's) members always seem to steer the conversation towards the competitive side...
