Re: Cross Team Challenge - Discussion Thread

Hi guys.

We used to have a team called “Whitby Rowers”, which fell out of action but we would like to be reinstated if possible.

Light green on colour if possible. Not yellow/red/blue 😂 are 3 clubs in Whitby and that would create arguments 😂)

Re: Cross Team Challenge - Discussion Thread

Hi guys,

Whoever is in charge of changing team names, could we request that “Whitby Friendship ARC” has its name changed to simply:

“Whitby Rowers”

Thanks all 😃

Re: Cross Team Challenge - Discussion Thread

Thanks for the info Joe!

We've floated a boat (and hopefully a few more to come) this month, so can Whitby Friendship Amateur Rowing Club apply for a challenge.

All the best

Re: Cross Team Challenge - Discussion Thread

Hi guys, Just a couple of questions on behalf of Whitby friendship arc We were wondering if we were eligible to be on the challenge list yet, is Joe the man for this? Also, just a daft one, our colours are currently dark green, which is no problem (our main rivals are blue and yellow anyway 😂) but o...

Re: Forum Flyers

I'll be posting a time on the CTC each month now so that's one more hwt male (lightweight if I cut out the beer and pizza)

Tried to form a crew with my local OTW rowing club but that idea quickly fizzled out! 🤣

Re: Forum Flyers

What a great workout this month's CTC is!

Tried to keep it under 1:54 and ended up being comfortable so hopefully I'll get another chance to go faster.

2k r20 then the 5k free rate seems to be the way to go?

Kind of a tough one to pace!

Re: Forum Flyers

Had a go at the challenge this morning. Wow, did I pace it badly :lol: I have no idea where I got 2k - 10 from, but I thought i'd read that somewhere... Anyway, my current 2k is 7:35.2 (1:53.8) and my entry was 2505 (1:47.7)... I really died on the 3 minute interval. I'll have another go before the ...

Re: Forum Flyers

Any tips on pacing this months CTC 1,2,3,2,1 / r2? My latest 8x500m / r3 was down to 1:55 so was going to start there. I probably only have one shot at it next week so trying to pace it right first time and avoid giving too much (or too little) on the first couple of intervals. I'd be interested to...

Re: Forum Flyers

That's me Marc Wilson-Blackburn, I go by Marc Wilson nowadays, saving the kids the torture of a double barrelled surname! The 6:24 was on the erg at the local rowing club, we had a competition. I threw up and didn't feel feel 'with it' for the rest of the day 😂 so I suspect that's about my physical ...

Thanks Jamie. Yeah the 500 time was done a while ago before a stress fracture in my foot took me out of rowing for a few months. I'll hopefully start doing two sessions a day soon, but probably more like a run in the morning and then a row in the evening as i live quite far from the gym. Have been l...

EIRC is coming up in three weeks and i'll be expected to go as my boat club is based in the city. What would you guys do if you only had three weeks to train fror it...
