RowPro Rowers on Cross team Challenge

Curious why I'm the only one in the Cross team Challenge representing RowPro Rowers. I just did my 15 minute row for 3,835 meters.

I think the simple answer is that we are a really lame team. Many people who use rowpro row for other teams.

I didn't know that we had a team on the CTC and so had never tried to enter that. Are you are team leader there (do I need to do anything to row for RP?). The CTC is a UK thing, and so it gets very little notice over here on the US forum. It has grown a lot over the last year or two.

You may want to email or PM Pam (using oarbits). She is probably our team leader/captain by default, and could get more people involved. She emailed me that she was going to set up a team for the January challenge for RP, so that would hopefully get more RP rowers involved in the "team".

I am not a team leader. RowPro Rowers is listed with all the other teams.
Being a RowPro user it was the only team I had any connection with.

I'm sure you RPR's could just mention this to each other in the chat section before a row. I've wondered why there aren't more CTC sessions per month on RowPro.

It gets me thinking that maybe I'll mention it in our 'round the world thread and see if I can get some Eh Team! CTC rows afloat.

Cheers, Merry Christmas,

Kirk

I can tell I will never make the first boat, but I joined up in the 2nd (I was just messing around, and could probably go a bit faster, but never as fast enough).

Looks I've been bumped down to boat 2 with you, and also don't think I'll get back in boat 1. Need to drum up some support so that we can float boat 2!

Cheers
Dave

I've just joined the team so soon we'll have 2 full boats.

Just noticed I have now joined the 'not full boat'. We need(?) would like a Female and a Lightweight (no chance I could be that) to join us to fill our boats.

I can probably con the wife into a 250m row. Any lightweights out there?

Just noticed we have been joined in boat 2 by Lynne Lamoureux - WELCOME.
Just a lightweight RowPro rower to fill the second boat - Anyone fancy giving it a go?

I did a few 250s this morning. Nothing special: 49.5, 48.8, 48.2, 2:26.8

and 47.8.

I am a lightweight but don't use RowPro. So If you want me I'll sign up.

Didn't plan on doing this since my knee is still a bit off and I probably am under 100K total for the last 2.5 months but I felt OK after doing a 3K warm up and moderate 5k. So I figured I'd help out a boat. Was going to do another 5K but figured I try the CTC. First two at a drag factor of 115, 3nd at 130, 4th and 5th at 144. The fourth also involved running after one of my dogs who decided to wake up the neighborhood.
