I hope you will have a good laugh.

This is great footage. Mark is a great friend of mine.
We are taking orders now for the early birds.
By the way, Mark Campbell on this video is the owner of Rowperfect. He came to visit me last August with two of his five children. I hit it off with him in a heart beat. Truely one of those great Aussies! I am very lucky to have the opportunity to work with him in the future for a LONG LONG TIME. I am so excited to hit the road with the Rowperfect. We will be at regattas, tradeshows, and will teach fitness entrepreneurs to start their own indoor rowing studio where they will be able to sell the machine as well. Stay tuned.

USASA Nationals 2007 NORTHSTAR-AT-TAHOE
USASA returning to Northstar
sierra sun post
The nation’s top amateur snowboarders and skiers will begin trickling in to the North Shore this weekend for the 18th Annual United States of America Snowboard Association (USASA) National Championships.
For the second consecutive year, Northstar-at-Tahoe is hosting what organizers tout as the world’s largest snowboard event, which kicks off Sunday with an opening ceremonies parade at Ice Rink Plaza. Much like in the Olympic Games, the opening ceremony will consist of a parade featuring all of the athletes from the country’s 35 participating regions displaying their local pride.
Competition begins on Monday and continues through Friday. As of Tuesday, 1,421 athletes were set to compete, said Karen Mertl, administrative executive for USASA. Mertl said there may be as many as 1,600 skiers and snowboarders by the time competition gets under way.
Of those 1,421 athletes, 114 will be representing the North Tahoe Snowboard Series, with roughly the same number representing the South Tahoe Snowboard Series, Mertl said.
Snowboarders will compete in one or more of the following five events: Superpipe, Slopestyle, Boardercross, Giant Slalom and Slalom. Events for skiers include Slopestyle, Superpipe and Skiercross.
How they get there
Since the beginning of the 2006-2007 season, the competitors have been qualifying at their local USASA Regional Series for an invitation to the grand finale.
USASA hosts more than 500 events annually at approximately 200 resorts throughout the U.S., with each of the USASA series holding eight to 20 events each year. The North Tahoe Snowboard Series held 15 events this past winter at Boreal, Northstar and Donner Ski Ranch, according to the USASA Web site, www.usasa.org.
Beginner, intermediate and expert riders ages 4 to 74 compete in 32 separate divisions in their regional series to earn a chance to participate in the National Championship, where they will vie for 840 medals. In addition, more than $15,000 in scholarships funds are awarded by the USASA to National Championship participants each year at Nationals.

XENO INTERVAL WORKOUT, CHECK IT OUT, WE LOVE IT at the IRON OARSMAN
Hello everyone. I did some thinking. At the IRON OARSMAN, we usually use the 500 meter split time to fire our rowers up to push harder and faster. In the last week, I changed this a bit. We started using the Watts setting and I found this to be really cool, because people were clearly seeing how much more powerful they are as they increase there velocity and stroke rate. In the last seconds of the XENO INTERVAL, I mustered up a couple strokes above 1100 Watts. This surprised a few, because I was able to push several hundred Watts more than them. I explained that their ability will quickly increase as we train the XENO INTERVAL. Here is how the XENO INTERVAL works: Interval setting on the rowing machine is 20 seconds ON and 40 seconds OFF. The power expressed in Watts of the first step is equal to the rower’s body weight. Each subsequent interval intensity is increased by 10%. Since I weigh 260lb., my starting interval is 260W. For simplicity I use 25W increase each time. Second interval is 285W. The third interval 310W and so on and so forth. The XENO INTERVAL is complete once the power can not be increased. At that point remember your Watts amount and shoot for higher next time. This is an awesome workout.
