Hi, all! I have been recently transplanted to Springfield and have once again sacrificed my soul to the people who take my money and then work me like a dog. We do get free membership at Gold's Gym, however, and Gold's has two lovely ergs. I can't remember if they were model D or E, but they're pretty sweet. The only serious issue is that neither erg has the Fish Game installed on it. I think this may be because they have the old software version. I plan to begin harassing them to update their equipment.
Good luck with fall recruiting!

Don't forget the corn dogs and funnel cakes at the State Fair!
Magnuson and I have been studying the Wolverine Plan. It is setup to lower 2K times, but it is also convoluted, strange in design, and written by a madman. We'll be sending you your assignments.

What exactly does this Wolverine Plan entail? I'm sort of intrigued...sort of.
Yeah, I failed to make it out to the fair. I'll still have two more chances to explore it, though. I keep hearing about some sort of delicacy called a Horseshoe that Springfield is famous/notorious for. I think it involves fries, chili, liquid cheese, etc. One of my classmates tried one and couldn't finish it because he thought he was going to vom. Or have a heart attack. Sounds like great pre-erg fuel.

In all fairness to Springfield, it is a culinary disaster. I tried a Horseshoe on one of my visits and it is truly as bad as it sounds. However, sometime you may find yourself down to you last dollar and requiring sustenance. At this point go to Knucklehead's Bar and order the fried bologna plate. For your dollar you will get fried bologna on white bread, your choice of crinkley or plain potato chips, and an iceberg lettuce salad.
The Wolverine Plan was devised by trainer Mike Caviston for the Univ. of Mich. Women's crew. It not only emphasizes interval training year-round, it frickin demands it. Even what should be the nice chatty sessions (Level 4, the lowest intensity) are marred by exact low stroke ratings for 6 or 10 minute periods and meters rowed requirements for those periods. One ten minute period would be broken down into 5 two minute segments with stroke ratings of 16,17,18,19, and 20 spm. The distance goal would be 2300 meters.
