Cross Team Challenge - Discussion Thread

[Two Pudding Kid]

I did the awkward git way of doing the 4 distances in the same session but letting the wheel stop each time. 400m, 100m, 300m, 200m. No surprise that I wasn't much faster than a 2k time - ie 8:06.8 (calculated from averaging 2:01.x each time).

Is the September dose of lunacy known yet Dougie?

Tomorrow's new challenge is a simple straight, unrestricted from a stationary flywheel 10' row. No calculators needed.

Put up my average pace from a continuous 3k. Took roughly 12' 46" to complete ergo a continuous 10 mins methinks. Used the pace calc to extrapolate distance for 10'. Is this acceptable to the rule making bodies, setters of tasks, worshippers in the temple of maths, and fantasist factions of the CTC? I won't be in boat #1 (and off the float) for long but fun to put in the green gum boot as't were.

Extrapolating distance rows to time isn't allowed. Plucking the first ten minutes from a longer row is allowed.

[jackarabit]

Thankyou. Yr answer bit of a prickly squat. I believe I must have done the latter, "plucking" (lovely berry picking word) 10' from a distance row of 12' 46.x" duration in which there is a strong probability, if not quite an absolute certainty beyond a very short shadow of a microscopic doubt that the 10 aforementioned minutes rowed which produced whichever proxy quantity is uppermost on whichever CTC is up on the marquee at this time were righteously contiguous.

Some one has to ask Daren "Wwwicked" Chandisingh for that.

PaddyPower have chosen 10km, no restrictions apart from a standing start, for the October CTC.

Enjoy!

Hi I wish to join the ctc, as I have tried to add a rower and a time, I tried to set a new password but I obviously have to do something more than that, ie get a password, how do I do that?

Thanks in advance David

I found that by adding an account with a new password that my username had been added to the list of usernames, once that was done I could add a time on the front page. But it wasn't a very clear process to me

Hi dougie tigger david

in my experience it is a bit clunky but what I find is that if you go back in a second time to the add a person tag and reenter the password to your name that will be there. Should work after the second entry of the password

It's been like that since 2005 when the first hundred folks joined at that time the drop-down menu worked really well. It doesn't scale well (the time to load the page is abysmal) but the current code for the C2CTC website is functionally stable.

The only way it's going to change is if we talk to Daren Chandisingh and get him to work with the folks who are developing a new CTC website. There's a little bit more to moving it than you think.

BTW if you do still have to join, you can add a 1 or similar to the start of your username so you appear at the top of the list, it makes selecting your name easier, although once the list has loaded typing your username hones in on it as well.

No, newcommers should put a Z in front of their name

Doesn't that turn the list into an Italian queue? I've always thought those with squiggles of titular import depending from their names should be listed first. Aren't you a KBE or something? I thumb away at it like a gud lad to the proximate middle and then home in on me proper handle. Right thumb still working--thus far.
