Re: Forum Flyers

I have also been sick since I got back from my vacation a week ago. Great trip to Brazil, terrible reentry :lol: Gave the CTC a go today and very not happy with it but that’s all I’ve got in me right now.

Re: Forum Flyers

This resulted in me dislocating my hip and trapping the femoral nerve and artery, i thought I was going to be on walking sticks for a while. Holding off for a hip replacement and just doing single leg strength to keep the tear at bay. ...

BTW the Terry update is not good at all - the diagnosis a lung cancer called mesothelioma which is incurable. It is common here in Oz and related to exposure to asbestos.

Re: Forum Flyers

This was such a frustrating challenge! I started and somehow got 21 spm on the second interval so had to restart. Then I managed under 1 min for each interval except the fifth, when I got distracted by a spider and didn't get started until a second after the rest ended :evil: Not sure if I'll have t...

I rowed my first session since one week. Corona infection didn't have the devastating effect I was affraid of. No negative effects on my HR. Rowed 8k UT1 without any problems.
Whoops, just saw this. Glad to hear you are doing well!

Re: Forum Flyers

Hey Sheena, or do I have to say Dr Sheena? :D It's always good to see someone within reach. This month I won't fight back. Although I'm feeling better my husband told me I'm not allowed to do any rowing training at the moment. Well I have to admit that he's right :lol: I did finish so technically a...

Re: Forum Flyers

With 3 more rowers we can get a fourth boat off the dock. Massively stressed scrambling for my dissertation defense in a few days, but I finally made it to the May challenge today and... all the adrenaline and cortisol and anxiety (not to mention all the sitting and lack of physical activity recent...

Re: Forum Flyers

Oh no, sorry to see you go Elizabeth! You're an incredible rower, excited to see what you do moving forward! I thought I would get this month's CTC out of the way while already sweaty and tired after playing tennis for 2 hours, not realizing that we are now missing our top female rower! I'll see if ...

Re: Forum Flyers

I was dying during that CTC challenge. Really need get back on the erg more regularly, because the October CTC (3 x 2 km / 2 min rest) will definitely kill me :lol:

Re: Forum Flyers

I kept putting off the June CTC until I almost forgot! First time on the erg since the May CTC so not loving my time but it was actually a pleasant row so maybe I'll get my act together and row a couple times a week moving forward :lol: Another suggestion for August (which may be a little cruel): 2 ...

Re: Forum Flyers

Re: Forum Flyers

Hi all! I have not totally disappeared, but yes, a health flare up has stopped me from doing much. But I got a CTC entry in there and I am planning to get back on the erg a little more regularly now that the physical fatigue is starting to ease and excited to get a little competitive again :D . Hopi...

Re: Forum Flyers

Love seeing the sibling rivalry! My older son Kyle rowed again...shaved off another 7 seconds, with I think puts it out of reach. My younger son Josh is going to give it one more try tomorrow. I am facing reality, and admitting defeat...although also very much love watching the sibling rivalry :-) ...
