I'm about to start using the rowing machine at work regularly. A guy that plays on my league basketball team sent out an email to a few people titled "It's lonely at the top". There's a leaderboard in the gym at work where people post their best 1k, 2k, and 5k rowing times. He's topped all three lists and is looking for better competition.

Apparently he identified me as a potentially worthy competitor. It's just the thing I needed to get off my lazy butt and start working out regularly now that our basketball season is over.
