Where are they now?

Tired of talking about rowing and want to talk about the real world? Enter a forum where rowing is a rude word...

Where are they now?

Post by webberg »

I was looking at some old posts recently and wonder what has happened to a number of regular posters to the forum.

Does anybody have any information on whether the people below are still active in the indoor rowing game on the C2 forums or anywhere else.

Not a comprehensive list but a relatively random selection.

Tom Barrick (and I think his wife used to row as well)
Zach Ellison who I recall was in the US Olympic Development squad and a beatboxer
Paul Sims (may still be active but not posting - an inspiration to me in the early days of the team)
Mike Channin (I thinkk he got loved up, married, family and probably no time to row)

I'm sure there are more.

I've thought a few times about starting this thread - nice call Graham

Tricia Blank (colibri) was a major metre muncher back in the day aswell and long gone missing.

Mike Channin did pop into the films thread a couple of months ago but I've not heard from any of the others (Zach very rarely posted anyway)

Zach is "zrower" on the C2 forum. He's in the uber elite stuff now, sub 6 2k, US national teams etc.
I also thought about Tom recently and wondered what he's getting up to.

For me there's also ..

Hi Free Spirits team,

it's been a long while since William Konarzewski was on the general C2 forum. Just wondered if he has given up erging...?

He is fine, so no worries.
I spoke to him last month, ( well via PM), says he is enjoying the summer in his sea kayak. hopes to start erging again soon.
