Same feelings here Thomas, thanks a lot for setting this up. I brought down my 1k PB much lower than I would have thought possible. My biggest problem in the end was pushing myself to a new PB while rowing alone. I found it too easy to handle down, thinking it's no problem, I'll just try again in a ...

I'm really struggling to get in a time for this now. I have tried twice and handled down each time, first time after 700m and the second after 300m. The annoying thing is I was on pace each time. I think I need an online race to push myself below 3:10. I did punish my last handling down by doing a 2...

I don't know what you consider rather odd, but I will be online around 9PM CST tonight if you want to do a 1k.

Also it looks like the RP online race server will be down all day Sunday for maintenance.

Pete has a blog that gives a good overview of the Pete Plan and also his modified 5k training plan. They are worth checking out.

Thomas,

Ignore my result on the race server, it's been a busy weekend and it just wasn't there. I'll put 2 times up next week, and I think at this stage, I need some online competition to really dig in.

Cheers

whitewaterkayaker, I don't post very often on these forums, but have been here for a few years and read them often. There is some very good advice to be had both here and on the UK C2 forum, which I have found to be extremely useful in my quest to improve on the erg. It does however, concern me deep...

Chad,

3:20 and 3:25 were just the fastest times you could get credit for, put your times in. It just means you'll have to work a little harder next week

Good row Dan, looks very controlled, and I do like that 10 m/stroke.

PB by a long way

The 1 million meter T-Shirt is free, I got mine just after Christmas :-) There are instructions on the website, it's all online if you have your metres uploaded to your logbook. http://www.concept2.com/us/motivation/awards/millionmeter/default.asp http://www.concept2.com/us/motivation/awards/million...

In my opinion Rowpro is an awesome piece of software, and I don't think my rowing would be nearly as much fun without it. When I first got the software I didn't do any online rows for a long long time, but I used the training plan, and whenever I set out to row the ranking distances I would download...

I've set up a 1k on the beta for Saturday, starting at 15:00 GMT / 11:00EST / 10:00CST. I will be online for a warm up probably 15 minutes before. Given the problems we have been having recently getting races off on the beta, we could switch back to the non-beta version of Rowpro if we have problems...

This might fix the problems, I know I had to change my settings. I got this from Chad Goss We have been experiencing a problem with some folks being left at the starting line, to correct this situation please make the following change in RowPro: "Control Centre" --> "System settings" --> "Connection...

Are we all on again for this weekend, plus anyone else who is interested?

I've set up a 1k on the beta, starting at 14:00 GMT / 10:00EST / 9:00CST. (A little earlier this week because I'm off to the zoo afterwards)

I will be online warming up probably 15 minutes before.
