Just noticed we only need one lwt to float boat 3! Anyone?
Feb is just a single 300m so maybe more entries.
All the best to everyone.

Lindsay - Your plea to the lightweights must have worked as we ended up with 4 boats floating and a lightweight to spare in a boat 5 which was left on the dock.

It's been quite a while (I think) since we managed to float 4 boats so well done to everyone! Let's aim for 5 boats for this month's 300 m. I am not a fan of the sprint, but gave it a try this morning and was at least slightly faster than my 500 m best pace this year.

Great effort by Peter Brooks and Bill Pontius in last month's Virtual Team Challenge. Both averaged more than 10K per day, and Peter exceeded 400K for the month. And 4 other rowers finished with more than 200K. Impressive!

First attempt at 300m 52.7 at 48spm this has been a good confidence builder for 500m race next weekend

This morning I noticed that we were one lightweight short of floating boat 2, so I got down to it. Squeaked ahead of Chris by a mere 0.2 sec. That should fire him up to try another.

So at my age, I should not be being goaded by the oldies

58.1, shoved the damper up a bit and will have another couple of goes before the month is out.

Back to you Mr Bayko

Happy Valentine's Day folks!

Today is the Carole McNally Memorial Row (1402 m) on the CTC site. I believe it is one-day only so please give this piece a little try today if you have a chance.

Meerkats - I see you must have improved your 300 m time a bit - but it was posted onto the Carole McNally row instead (which makes it EXTREMELY impressive )! I think you will have to wait until tomorrow or Sunday to enter it on the normal February CTC site ???

skkipper, to reach 2025 miles a lot of my sessions this year are going to the long and steady. My fear is that my longer sessions become more about churning through metres at a really easy pace rather than being beneficial for any training goal. I'm having to hold myself accountable that a couple of sessions a week are going to be at a higher tempo. If what I'm doing seems to fit with you then I'm really happy to support you.

Wow 2025 miles is insane! How is it going so far??
Would love to join you, thank you for the offer, but my hip pain is getting worse so looks like I may still be avoiding this . Finding all this quite frustrating, really hate how unfit I feel right now.

I've completed 363 miles so far. Nicely on track during the first couple of months of the year which included a week away on holiday with no erg sessions.

The Row the Distance challenges are neat in how your progress is tracked on a map against others. The 2025 mile challenge is set up to go from Baja California to Seattle. I'm probably still a month of workouts away from crossing the Mexico/US border.
