Re: Forum Flyers

CTC 5k posted. First attempt at this distance in many years - 2:24.0 This was a trial run and I was very cautious to see what happens with my back when I apply some pressure. It went better than expected; my pace and stroke rate were all over the place as I tested and prodded my back, but I have a ...

Re: Forum Flyers

I'm planning on contributing many metres, over innumerable hours, at a laughably slow pace. I'm 52, a LW on a good day, and yet another wine lover. I'm hoping the erg wil...

Re: Forum Flyers

Y’all are talking some impressive (intimidating) numbers. I think I need to watch from the bank, but I’ll be cheering the team on, for sure. M@rdix - a steady 5k is a good training piece and any number is impressive around here - learned a long time ago that there is always someone faster so no nee...

Re: Forum Flyers

Welcome mardix! We're always interested in backstory, where you are, age / gender, that sort of thing. As much as you're willing to share obviously! We have the advantage of knowing some background on each other already, but there are plans for one day to publish some brief profiles so that new mem...

So, I’ve always gravitated to long distance work - abundance of slow twitch muscles, I imagine - but I think I’ll start on speed work to see how that goes. I...

Re: Forum Flyers

Hi all. I’m back to rowing after what seems like an eternity and am looking for a team to join. I’ve gone through some rough seas and looking for some solid ground on which to moor. I’m not as quick as I once was, not as lean, nor as young, but I’m looking forward to a new start.
