Concept2 Forum

The Cross Team Challenge is another virtual team competition.

Each month a different distance is selected and people enter their best times for that distance for that month at the website.

http://www.c2ctc.com/person.php You can click on "add or update a person" and chose RowPro Rowers as your team.

People are grouped by team into boats of 5 (3 heavyweights, 1 lightweight, 1 woman).

I hope we can fill some boats!!

I have gotten the strong impression that the CTC is strictly for the Brits (and a few virtual ex-pats).

I agree that the CTC gets more attention on the UK forum.
Its open to all nationalities.
Here are some names of Americans I recognize from the this forum:
John Rupp, Carla Stein (seat5), Chad Goss, Joan Van Blom, Jon Bone.
The Eh team from Canada is very well represented also.
RowPro Rowers is already a team on the CTC challenge. Now we just need to fill some boats.

Hi Bill,

Seems you're just up the road from me (Chelmsford, MA). I joined the CTC a couple of days ago and posted a 250 dash. I'm not sure how the boats get filled and all though...

Hi Trevor,

Glad we're on the same team. So far we have 3 in the boat. You Catherine Sutherland and Me. We need 2 more people to fill the boat.
I'll work on getting my time down. I'm not used to sprinting and I was coming off the seat.
There's a race in Newburyport later this month. Maybe I'll see you there.

I'll see if I can persuade my Tsotsies team mates to jump ship to the RowPro team. We haven't managed to fill a boat in a while, so unless we do something soon to increase participation, a merge might make sense.

Cheers
Dave

Bill,

Where and when is that race in Newburyport? I've looked on the web and can't find anything.

Thanks,

Trevor

Dave, you and your mates are welcome aboard.

Trevor, I emailed you the info on the race.

I've just logged a time for the RowPro team, because I'm not sure we'll put a Tsotsies boat together in the near future. I'll see if I can convince the wife to knock out a quick 250m to float the first boat.

Cheers
Dave

We filled a boat !!!

Time to fill boat 2.

Let's stop advertising now. I'm enjoying being in a full boat for a change, and know that I'll be first to make way for new people!

Cheers
Dave

OK. We filled a boat. Now what? Should I try doing the 250 again to improve my time?

Definitely! And let's try get another heavyweight, a lightweight and a lady to join Michael and me in boat 2.

Cheers
Dave
