Around the middle of the month I noticed a new arm was available for the RowERG that allowed a tablet to be placed below the performance meter, this was being sold as a standard part with all new RowERGs and was also available as a retrofit item for existing machines for $25.00 from the US shop or £23.00 from the UK shop.
I had wanted one of these since I first noticed them but had to wait a while until they were available in the UK.
As soon as they were available I ordered one, along with a deluxe seat pad and a Crew T-Shirt.
Fitting the arm in place of the old one took no more than 10 minutes while using the very easy to follow instructions.
Hot on the heels of the Fall Team Challenge was the Skeleton Crew Challenge, where you need to row more than 31,000m between 25 and 31 October to claim the certificate.
Most of my entries for this involved a 2K warm up, a 10K row whilst watching an episode of something on my iPad secured in the new device holder streamed from my Plex server and then a 2K cool down.
In total I rowed 66,668m for the challenge, I was aiming for 66,666, but ended up just slightly over.
During the month of October I managed a total of 63 hours of exercise, walked 485km climbed 283 flights of stairs, cycled 0km and rowed 387km.
By the end of the month my weight was 15 Stone 4lb (214lb/97kg), a loss of 6lb (2.7kg).
