So what are your music favourites, since restarting rowing, I've reconnected with my music and I'm just working my way through my album collection. I've easily got thirty one hours of music to accompany my march mad hatter month.
It would be interesting to see or rather hear what you're listening to to accompany the third of a million meters in March.
I almost always listen to house mixes. I've got about 4500 albums, plus DJ mixes and thousands of individual tracks, and it covers most genres of music that you can think of. My wife just about copes since I've gone digital so it's just a massive hard drive that's needed.

I occasionally listen to a collection of circa 130 favourite tunes, that are suitable for rowing.
51 HWT; 6' 4"; 1k= 3:09; 2k= 6:36; 5k= 17:19; 6k= 20:47; 10k= 35:46 30mins= 8,488m 60mins= 16,618m HM= 1:16.47; FM= 2:40:41; 50k= 3:16:09; 100k= 7:52:44; 12hrs = 153km

Photo test,

As you can see I'm still having trouble with photos, I have a photo resizer,
It will do all kinds of things except make photos acceptable for the site.

Has anyone got the sizings kb or anything that I can apply to make the photo thing work.
Please bear in mind that I'm blonde with blonde tendencies, even though I'm more grey than blonde these days 😂
I use a website called Postimage.org and post a thumbnail of it. I know that it works best when I post to Instagram as it resizes it for when I then post on here.

There are other options, that I'm sure others will be able to help with.

That's another 10k in the training bag, feeling good no aches and pains, 51:44.9
That's sixteen seconds faster than my pb, for what seemed like less effort.

I think that's quicker than yesterday. I'll take the 28th off to rest, then all ready to start, on the 1st which is a work day, sods law, then I'm off for four days.
All done to the pretenders today, I haven't listened to them in over a decade 😂

It's about 25 years of constantly buying music, and having people say to me about half of that time, "you can't possibly listen to all that music", which is true, but it's not the point.

I think we should all be listening to Stu's rowing music. Have you seen his numbers??

Hahaha, it does on occasion make me go faster than I should and it definitely helps me get through any session...well, almost any session

Another 10k warmup,
To some old school rave... Adamski, insanity and lots of other lovely stuff from the late eighties early nineties, I'm enjoying the music as much as the rowing 😂

Hi Edward, linked up as training partner, both you and Ray are seriously tough rowers, you'll certainly spur me on.
A couple of days to go.

Ha! And I was thinking the same about you, spurring me to be more consistent with my effort. :lol:

No competition here. Let's all just keep getting a little bit stronger, and a little bit better than when we started! 💪

When I do post something, I use this. I have to re-teach myself each time.

Hi Holly,

I started about the same time as you in 2019. I was disappointed when you disappeared, but wow, what a comeback. Already a HM under your belt and ready ready for the 10k March madness. I did it last year, but was going to stick with the 5k this year and mix in some other things. Smeg… I’ve just changed my mind 😎

I think I’ll go watch some Red Dwarf now…

My local pub, The Aigburth Arms, is where Red Dwarf was conceived and is mentioned. One very small claim to fame
