Concept2 Forum

Goals by end of summer :

Beat 9:20 on 2000m (currently 9:23.9)
Row my first half-marathon (no matter how long it takes!)
lose 10lb in the process of getting better at rowing longer and faster

I must be one of the mad ones. I have rowed 16 out of the 18 days so far. Only nine more to go. It's been easier this year since the weather has been too chilly for bicycling. Great to hear Arlene - keep up the fantastic work! Unfortunately I fell down the subway steps going to work and haven't row...

Please. A crew is a rowing team, so "crew team" is redundant.

pedant.

Male posters in the women's forum are fine. Pendantic ones are redundant.

Hi Polly, welcome to ducks in a row (and erging regularly!). Being part of a team just means your metres are added to the ducks total metres for the season, and you can compare how the DIAR are doing compared to the other teams. You can also see how you are doing compared to other ducks, so it's a g...

Is anyone setting up a Ducks team for this? It is coming up in 4 days!!! I would like to join a team if anyone will have me Currently rowing 6 days a week for about 35k a week.

March Madness is keeping me inspired too - just cracked 300,000m toward my first million. Keep rowin' Ducks!!!!

Two new personal bests in the last week. 5000m old 24:45.9 new 23:55.8 30 mins old 5901 new 6174 Thanks James for letting me interrupt one of your work out sessions to give me a few pointers :) I am sure the results reflect the changes I made after you helped me out. Still slow compared to other 36 ...

I want the certificate!! So I've started with a bang and a roar on 10k today, and plan to do 6 days a week, alternating 5 and 10k distances. Good luck Ducks picking up a prize in March Madness

Two months to go until a family wedding in Australia.. so my goal is to keep the sugar intake down (Bear you aren't the only one who backslid!!) and increase the distance I can row this month. Hoping the combo of trying out intervals and heading to the same gym as some of the others from the boards ...

I didn't see these up there, but thanks for putting the effort into adding new stuff :) If I had one suggestion, it would be to add existing designs (or cool new ones!!) to the backs of shirts. Most of them are on the front, (including the concept2 ones for January challenge etc) and.. how do I put ...

Just finished up JVC with 95,665. I had wanted to do 100k but fell a little short. I don't think my 4 mile walk in the cold to get costco groceries this morning helped my final efforts, lol. It took an hour to do 10k this evening and I kind of gave up in the end. 100k in February for sure! It's a sh...

Congratz!!!! Great achievement

The breathing is coming along. Inhale on the drive and exhale on the recovery is working. I mentioned 8:03.9 2K was my first time trial. Today I tried my first interval workout. (I've been rowing 1 month) 8 x 500m @ 1:56.6 (28s/m) with a 3 min recovery(very slow rowing) I like this workout. Is 3 mi...

My resolutions for rowing are to attempt a half marathon at the end of January, and to complete my first million metres by rowing 100k a month. Hoping this will lead to improved stamina as well as weight loss, coz I am also trying to cut out too much processed sugar :evil: Other resolutions are to k...
