Concept2 Forum

It looks like the CTC organisers need our decision sooner than I expected (i.e. tomorrow morning at the latest :o ). Given that there seems to be enough enthusiasm for the 0624m challenge here, via the club email I sent as well as on Facebook, with no strong voices of dissent, I'm going to call it f...

I'm absolutely embarrassed to see that I last logged into the forum in December 2022! Sorry everyone, but I'm sure this level of dedication isn't what you were expecting when Henry handed me the captaincy. If anyone is keen to take over and do a better job I really won't mind, but I'll also pledge t...

Great start to the CTC this month everyone who has logged a score! I'm doing my usual procrastination in between Zwift races, but I'll get there well before the end of the month. Don't forget that the Fall Team Challenge starts today, so we need all the metres we can get added to logbooks before Oct...

Thanks - If I'd realised to ignore the error message I'd have worked out that I'd registered successfully after all. I just submitted a time that puts me (currently) in boat 3. Anna Rae certainly picked a tough challenge. :D Glad you managed to get things sorted before the deadline. I did my token ...

Hey Dougie, I just wanted to send you a pm regrding a new team. But I am new here and not allowed to send private messages. So could you please contact me? :) Thanks and best regards Your first post has been approved so you should be able to PM Dougie now. He's on holiday for another week and a bit...

Hi all - long time no talk - approaching 2 years I am afraid. Some may actually remember me from when I could actually do this erg stuff successfully. I was compelled to back off when my life became consumed during the pandemic by my work (I am a veterinarian) which meant little training time and a...

Hello Everyone, I'm Pete, I'm new to the team and looking forward to figuring out if being part of a erg team will add something new to my training (with a healthy dose of learning from you all). My training is fairly unstructured - it's normally based upon whatever time I have left after I've done...

Well done Team Voorhees! I was wondering how we managed to get more boats going this month. Apologies, but I may have bumped Linda onto the dock when I posted my late entry on the 31st.

I thought I was saving the day and getting another boat floated .

Was a little worried that I had dropped the ball when I saw Jack's suggestion that I could write it up and send it to Dave - but then I saw that Dave had posted it on the CTC forum so we are good to go. If it turns out to be a horrible challenge for us, you can all throw virtual rotten tomatoes at ...

Hi all The Forum Flyers have chosen the Crazy Eights - Triple Crown as the August challenge. Row 3 intervals of 888 metres each with 80 seconds of rest between the intervals. Record the total time for the 2664 metres (excluding the rest time). First interval should be off a standing start, but secon...

I also remember Byron, and you got me wondering too. I did some Googling, and he seems to be tagged on Facebook in an OTW rowing photo on 10 July. It doesn't look like he's active on Facebook, but browsing some of the photos and comments, it does seem that he is still around.

Hi all Thanks for keeping the process moving in my absence :). Lost track of time a bit this month - my head was still telling me that we were in the middle of the month celebrating 20th wedding anniversary and spouse's REDACTED birthday, but clearly the month has marched on a bit. I was about to co...

Haven't been erging much in June - went over the handlebars while zooming down a hill near the end of May. Nothing broken but managed to tweak my back (apparently going from 27 kph to 0 kph in 1 second is a bit jarring on the body). Was taking it easy for a few weeks and started back on the erg mid...

-- Welcome back, Sabrina...best wishes on your continued recovery! -- Our team will be without my wife Linda for several more months. At the beginning of May she had a freak fall and broke her femur :-( On crunches and likely non-weight bearing for 8-12 weeks. She is attacking her rehab the same wa...

I've just realised I am on a boat in the may c2ctc :lol: I got suddenly ill, was admitted to hospital early December and was in hospital & rehab until May. Lost 9 kg and all my muscles, back up 5 now. First time back on the rower was early April; 1k in 6:45, now down to 5:22. Long way to go but I t...
