150,000 Meters - Where would that get me?

This evening I topped the 150,000 meters mark on the rowing machine - which is a little over 93 miles. When put like that I think I will stick to using meters - sounds a lot more impressive.

Tonight had a steady row - 5000 meters (3.1 miles). Slowly and surely getting back into it after being away for a few weeks. Think another steady row is in oder tomorrow. Should be playing badminton next week and will look to setup a squash match as well.

I did a little research on maintaining my Concept 2 rowing machine and found that the concept 2 website provided me (not surprisingly) with the details. In summary: -

Daily

• Wipe monorail with a cloth after use.
  

Every 50 hours of use

• Clean and lubricate the chain with the oil provided (or 20w Motor Oil or 20W 3-in-1 oil).
• Check the socket screws used to install the front leg and framelock for tightness. Also check that each toe piece nut and bolt is tight.
• Check battery power on monitor.
  

Every 250 hours of use

• Inspect chain for stiff links. If thorough lubrication does not help the chain should be replaced.
• Inspect chain-handle connection for wear. If the hole has become elongated, or the U-bolt is worn halfway through, the entire connection should be replaced.
• Tighten the shockcord if the handle does not return all the way to the fan enclosure.
• Loosen or tighten the nuts on the Performance Monitor arm joints as necessary.
• Check for dust inside the flywheel with a torch. Vacuum if needed.
  

Approximately every 800 hours of use

• Replace the batteries in the Performance Monitor (PM2 or PM2+). The PM2 and PM2+ use 2 AA batteries.

Right then, back to fighting off this cold !!!
