Forum Flyers

5k pace minus 1 ish. Your current real 5k.

yes and keep them all about the same - push off too fast and the last will suffer, leave too much in the tank and your first will be too slow.
Maybe one to do a couple of times to see what is possible.
Good training effect for 2k as well.

BTW the site is not right yet - only allowing to enter time rather than meters which means everyone is equal!!

I did good! I didn't see the pacing suggestions until this morning... lol so I went out a little hot but I'm very pleased I was able to hold on close to 1:50

Funky entries! Someone should reset the counters to reflect the terms of the challenge. Or do it as a one off on April 1.

get those meters in ladies and gents... there's no way I should be in first boat! lol

Hey don't get me wrong I'd love to stay in the top boat haha!
I don't understand the scoring though, how come Forum Flyers meters are 1862 and we're in 6th but Free Spirits has 1832 and are in 2nd place?

Full boats first, ours is not filled yet.

weird challenge haha. how would you go about this Henry? pacing?

5k pace minus 1 ish. Your current real 5k.

Just calculated my last 5k pace. I rowed it in 20:08 and ran that through the pace calculator on the ISS site and came up with 2:08. That sound right to you veterans?

Chris, our recruiting success with the ladies is suboptimal at the moment. Melissa Boswell from Oz is a great addition to the team. We need more like her! A bit of talent scouting helps float boats including yours (hint, hint)

Adam, should be 2:00.8. So according to our Dutch uncle, try 1:59.8. 2:07 wouldn't be a "challenge" for you!

Doh! Ok I submitted my worst time which was 1681. I'm going to try this several more times throughout the month. I'll work on 1:59:8 pacing. Learning so much here.

Chis the boats are ranked by average meters but not in place until all 5 in the boat so Free Spirits boat is full and ours needs a lady which will change the average and then it can be ranked.
Don't worry there will be more entries in soon.
Very nice 1:42 by Jeff - that is smoking along.
Melissa is really keen - did >100km in Jan and loving it. Ex Dragon Boats with shoulder problems so can erg but not paddle.

This is fun. I will definitely start to wear my recruiting hat more often. Should be able to shave a second or two off my splits before month's end.

Ok, pulled 1774 for my worst today. Big improvement from yesterday and way more of a challenge. I will inquire about getting some women involved as well.
