Dave, I was standing behind a friend who was rowing a few ergs over from you. I couldn't help but notice before the race that you seemed particularly focused on your shoes :wink: Congrats on a good result and a race rowed well.

Hi Carla I understand how easy it is to feel disappointed if you haven't completed the workout the way it was intended but please don't be too hard on yourself. I think everyone has a particular workout that is very difficult for them. Personally I have a lot of difficulty with workouts based on a s...

For those that like shorter distances the CTC's 250m sprint is still open.

This is also the first time I've gone faster (so far) than Cynthia Drewry (F) 48.1, one of the quickest ladies.

Keep pulling Eh! Team.

Cheers,
Hey Kirk! The month's not over yet :wink:

Phil, I enjoyed reading your account of today's workout. It was compelling and I had to force myself to wait for the result instead of looking straight to the bottom. Congrats on a good pb. I suspect your 6k is faster now as well.

Lol...we are the short term holders of the 100,000m Mixed Tandem Lightweight record...row 100,000m together by taking turns...The previous record was 9 hours and 45 mins...we re-set the record at 7 hours and 56 minutes. A 100k piece is a long way to go. I once did one 7:53:28 and I was afraid it wa...

Deb,

Could you try to show a little consistency between the first and second pieces :wink:

Carla enjoy your well deserved rest day tomorrow. I suspect you will spend the time wisely and check a few goals off your list!

Hi Jamie If I remember correctly, in the past he or she who had the fastest score in their category between the Toronto and Victoria races was identified on the results list as being the national champion. Now that there are 5 Canadian regattas on the same day that practice seems to have stopped. I ...

Thanks for reminding me that I was once asked if I tear down trees with my bare hands. Made me feel really girly! :roll:

Well done today Carla and not to worry if the 3rd piece didn't co-operate. Was the rate really 25 on the 2nd? In reading about your goals, I have to wonder: are you as intense about everything in your life as you are about rowing and music? Hats off to you! I'm curious about a note you posted a few ...

Hi Carla Thank you for the compliment, but I certainly don't deserve it! I have been working hard but am not training for a 2k at the moment and I expect to be away at the end of February so I won't make it to Boston. I enjoyed the bike this summer, particularly after I figured out how to detach my ...

Carla You've been working hard (as usual you maniac!) and seeing some very positive results from your work. I've always been told that once you miss a workout, you've missed it and you should just carry on with your plan. I think it is good advice and you can trust that the work you've already put i...

Deborah, please see the PM I sent you. You are doing incredibly well and the last thing you should do is get discouraged! You are going to have an amazing season. My first race in the single, I flipped at 500m and it was hilarious. At least I got it out of the way early and it hasn't happened again ...
