It has been a while, probably 2 or 3 years since posting and being anything resembling fit. Nevertheless, each month I have studiously done the CTC for the FFs and between 10 and 50k erg work or OTW in small boats. Not much to write about. Last month was different, for some reason I got stuck into ...

Holiday Challenge
Day 3 : 3 x 10mins (paying for Day 2!)
Day 4 : 30 mins + 1k CD (scraped my way to 7k)
Day 5 (today) : 30 mins 7122m (didn't start until 9.30pm and did not want to go to the garage!... stuck Senna on Netflix and it ticked along better than I expected )

Challenge Total: 40,829m

Holiday challenge day 2... ...thought I would wind back the clock and try a 1k pyramid, i.e. 100, 200,300.... 1000, and back down on 1r. What's the phrase - something about writing cheques your body can't cash.. I had burnt all my matches after doing the 1000 and binned coming back down again :lol: ...

No Ergdata though, latest update crashes it as soon as it connects to PM5.

Snap - not just me then

Holiday Challenge Day 1 - 5000m before breakfast :) Going to make a determined effort this year and roll the clock back by doing the Holiday Challenge and rowing every day until Christmas Eve. Seriously need to get back some fitness - had yet another layoff... this time got bitten on the elbow by a ...

Cheers for sharing Paul - the pictures are fab - looks like a great place to row.
"...despite the difficulty we all had at the second mark. I’ll do it again, although I distinctly remember thinking at the time I would never do this again..."

Interesting thread! When I first got my own erg and started putting in the km's started I did get a sore behind. I bought the C2 pad but never really got on with it and relegated it to the bottom of a drawer and never used anything since. My son however dug out the pad and uses it every time on the ...

Nothing much this week - one session in the garage on the erg where I changed plan about 3x, then boat club gym session last night. The infamous snakes and ladders session... a giant sized board.. teams of 2... 10 different exercises numbered 0-9. What ever number you end up on after moving your gia...

First session back in the boat club gym last night... now too dark for Thursday evenings on the water until spring :( so Thursday nights will be gym nights. The coach wrote up a nice 'loosener' on the board... Mobility stretching 5 min warm up row Squat & press 12x3 Incline press-up 12x3 Reverse lun...

Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games sweeps rowing will be 1,500 meters at Long Beach Marine Stadium. Must really mess with race pacing, training and seat selection. Optimizing for a 6 min 2K is not the same as for a 4 min 1500. That's going to be interesting to see what changes that brings in terms of t...

Welcome back Dino. That sounds like it was a great day Cheers! I see the usual suspects are still crushing it :D Well done! Sounds like a Bucket List item. :D Cam Buchan did it three years ago and posted an interesting 21-minute video of it. Thanks very much. That video was the main cause of me bei...

Hello all - been AWOL a while - although been lurking again more recently. Erg meters way down on what they used to be although fingers crossed will be putting more meters in over the coming months. Anyway... this Saturday just gone found my son and I on the start line of 'Monster the Loch' ...a 21 ...

Thanks Dino. Good info. I'm a senior novice recreational rower. The Peterborough Rowing Club is on the same water as the Trent University club - a long stretch of backwater off the Otonobee River. The river itself can be used during the summer and fall when the current is slow. Feels far from the c...

I generally use a mix of Concept2 Smoothie2, Big Blade or Bantams. The club I row at over the summer season is recreational and all the boats and oars pretty much set up the same so can jump into any boat with any pair of oars. The big blades/smoothies are all set up 288/88, with the bantam having a...
