Congratulations Elizabeth! I’m in total awe

I assume someone has to take a decision here.
I vote for a non-ranking piece. The crazy 8s. Or the mean 2k-100m

I've just realised I am on a boat in the may c2ctc :lol: I got suddenly ill, was admitted to hospital early December and was in hospital & rehab until May. Lost 9 kg and all my muscles, back up 5 now. First time back on the rower was early April; 1k in 6:45, now down to 5:22. Long way to go but I tr...

I am also available in November, so I am happy to postpone.

completing the last 12 CTC's in a row

Rididng the excuse wave too and having barely rowed at all this season; I am thinking if I only row once a month, I might as well make it the ctc.. I can see my lack in training though by Graham Woodley paddling away from me again.

Marc, tell Linda I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize Suzanne had just posted a time as well. We really need more men to row...

Congrats Neil and Sheena, that''s huge!
I have to investigate that nylon sock trick... I thought I was starting to sweat less, but turns out it was just the low room temperature in winter..

Lots of fun in the new team Freddie!! Ugh, I fell down the stairs on Monday and am sporting the biggest, sowllen, now dark purple bruise in town on my left thigh. s Thought I can wing it as it's not the behind, but ouch no. Sorry no meters from me this week. I am enjoying all the discussion on the c...

and was the only entrant in the race. Using the app the first time was a bit confusing I was entered in the race, but my PM never really connected, so I left to not mess it up for others. I saw 4 people were entered, but then in then it was only you left James. Seems I’m not the only one with issue...

Dark Horse rowing has playlists on Spotify. Search by "stroke rate", they are called e.g. Stroke rate 25 - Dark Horse Rowing. I have used them a few times, but they just contained too many songs/bands I don't like. So I have made my own with songs that make me happy, because in the end that's the on...

I’d reckon the pacing is around 2k + 3 or 5k - 1. Hope this helps! Interesting. Should 2k and 5k pace only be 4secs apart? Then I am really off. Did it yesterday at 2k +2, which is 5k -6. I could probably do both faster by now though Flu/Covid in Dec blew me away a bit and the the cough has taken a...

Just doing what I can when I can. As my university schedule has lightened recently, I have had time for five 100k pieces at an almost mind numbingly slow (for me) pace. I plan to do a couple more 100k pieces this month along with a slightly reduced ‘normal’ mileage. I can't even imagine what that f...

Hi Theresa, Congrats on the Holiday challenge 100k. I don't think you need more convincing to start the BPP. Just wanted to say that I'm rooting for you. I have just finished week 9, and it's actually going much better than expected. Don't get intimidated by the endurance distance; all that happens ...

Hi Steve,
I have found this: http://3.8.144.21/weightloss/interactive in a different threat a while ago. Haven't used it myself so can't comment on the effectiveness, but I like how you can enter weight and goals. Might be a nice start for inspiration until you get more qualified answers.
Greetings

For the current CTC, what pace would you recommend? I've heard 2k -2. Was curious what it worked out to for others. Haven't typically done intervals but I did a preprogrammed one today (ugh!) and it went alright. Will tackle the CTC soon. I think you will be a faster than the 2:04. I did it in 2:06...
