<br /><br />Owen<br /> </td></tr></table><br />Great!!!!<br /><br />Hey, we get to pick the next CTC, right?<br /><br />I vote for a real distance---10K or a 60 min, unrestricted. What do you guys think?<br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />Have you seen the stupid Rugby Test that SUB-7 have come up with for next month? Crazy!<br />I've arranged to do a full marathon on 23rd April (London Running Marathon day) with a couple of other rowers. So I don't want anything long for the CTC for April. <br /><br />My vote would have to be for 1609m.<br />6780m for the Boat Race conflicts with the www.concept2.co.uk challenge (which is a 16 minute "boat race").<br /><br /><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><span style="color:blue">So 1609m is my firm vote.</span></span><br /> </td></tr></table><br />No. What's the stupid rugby test? <br />Also, what is a boat race?<br /><br />1609 is short.<br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br /><br /><br />The rugby test is :<br /><br />1000m row, 3:00r<br />750m row, 2:30r<br />500m row, 2:00r<br />250m row, 2:00r<br />750m row. <br /><br />This is seriously hard because if you start off too quickly the final 750 is h*** on earth.<br /><br />It's supposed to measure aerobic and anaerobic capacity in one test - it does that and more - it also reems the inside of your lungs.<br /><br />Paul

Paul,<br />Sounds like you've done this one before. I had a feeling it sounded easier that it actually was.<br /><br />Dwayne

If you go off too fast in the first 1000m, the rest times really start to feel horribly short and you can end up dying horribly on the last 750m.<br /><br />Like rugby, not for the faint of heart!!

<br /><br />Of course it doesn't look all that fun either. Basically five sprints in a row. Who thinks this stuff up????<br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />I reckon you're going to be nearer to 10 mins than 11 mins for this.

Hmm, my age is not 43 but 33???? 300 meter is screwing my strength training, all energy leaves the limbs. My leg press max has dropped many kilos. My bench press is destroyed. This has been fun but I think it is time to reitre from this torture of CTC.<br /><br />Does anybody else do strength training?<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your troubles Nials, real life takes importance over the rowing.

<br /><br /><br />God luck Niall - the first row getting back into into is always the hardest isn't it?<br /><br />Also good luck with the move on the 1st<br /><br />Paul

<br /> </td></tr></table><br />It's a good thing it has no shelf because there's nothing over here to put on it. Well, just 2 knick knacks.<br /><br />Dwayne & Jumpsoda, you guys are awesome! I will try again on the 300 but it just isn't getting faster. My daughter says she will try before the end of the month and she is really a brute so it may push us up a place. Krysta was going to try again with a different technique because she did her time just rowing pretty normally (and darned fast for normal rowing!!!!!) so when she does an all out thrash she ought to pass me easily.<br /><br />This rugby test sounds like absolute h***. Is it actually a go? I thought there was a lot of controversy about the rest times and people who had PM2s not being able to set proper rest times or something. I've never done a pyramid workout. I've only ever done single distance, single time, or regular intervales, so this will be a whole new (and awful) experience.<br /><br />Work on the corrected stroke is doing better. I am getting much better at keeping the arms pulling in high, the back swing is much more natural and I have less lower back stiffness which is really good. Still have trouble driving before my legs are slightly past vertical so still having some back of the knee pains but I can feel now that I'm getting a much more even drive from both legs. I expect my 10K pb to plummet in about 2 weeks.<br /><br />Niall, I am so sorry to hear of your sad times and I hope things work out better. Don't be a stranger!!!<br /><br />Off to my mom's for the weekend, so after today's workout, no erg till Tuesday.<br /><br />

Doesn't weight loss always seem to happen in the wrong places! I am also <i>not</i> looking forward to the day I quit nursing my baby! My mom (who is going to be my cheering section/baby-sitter/general support during my first 2k race) was suggesting techniques for making weight on race day. She advised, "Make sure you breastfeed Kasey right before weighing-in! That should take off a few more ounces."

Your avg pace was 1:33.7 and I am not sure I could even pull 5 strokes at that. And I am dreading the thing so much that I'm really going to need a kick in the butt to try it again. But I really should try to give Helen a little more competition.

<br />But you are more a strenght man? What is yout high/weight and what is your max on the bench/squat/deadlift?<br /><br />I do some strenghttraining but not to much and heavy anymore. My best bench was 154 kg. <br /><br />Do you also row the longer stuff?<br />
