Celebrate with me: I finally found one!! (C2)

After stalking Facebook marketplace and Craigslist for months, I finally own a Concept 2!! It is in the back of DH’s SUV as we speak. He’s at a board meeting 2+ hours from our house, and I just happened to check Craigslist for that area. The older gentleman selling it had knee surgery and said his CrossFit days are behind him.

It is a model d in great condition, though it does have a PM3. No worries, I only paid $500!! (Woohoo!) I figure if I stick it out, I’ll treat myself to a PM 5 for Mother’s Day or my bday or Christmas. I’ll just go old school for now and keep a paper log of my workouts.

For that price, I can totally flip it if I hate it. (I hope I don’t hate it!)

Wow, what a deal! I'm very jealous and happy for you all at the same time! Enjoy and please share your thoughts on it after you've tried it!

That's great, Allison. What good timing. Not only while your Dh was where it was but while you were fresh off of all of the research and had reluctantly decided against one.

Reluctantly decided. You just needed one that fell in the range where you would be OK with it not working for you. Then - Whallah!
