14.5 for me today - dec 10 Congrats on the new PB John, but that .2 has gotta hurt . Couldn't you have done just one more stroke a little harder? The Eh!Team continues to grow. Welcome to DArcy McKittrick from Peterborough, Ontario and Kirk Nelson from Bailieboro, ON. Can someone please send the standard how to post message. Thanx. Keep on rowin', hosers. Jim

"Congrats on the new PB John, but that .2 has gotta hurt . Couldn't you have done just one more stroke a little harder?"[QUOTE] I wish I could have snuck in an extra stroke Jim. But I went out a bit on the fast side (under a 1:40 pace for the first 500.) The pace started to slow and towards the end I was fighting with all I had (wasn't quite enough ) I ended up laying on the floor for several minutes, but at least I kept my breakfast down . Welcome Darcy and Kirk

Hi to all the newcomers. Congrats on the PB John. Did a 10km run yesterday in 12c of sunshine, weird eh? Today, 21km row. 1km warm up, then 20km @ 2:07/500m pace, 75% of MHR. Holiday Challenge: 130,000m rowed - 70,000 to go. Have a great day one and all.

15k for me today - Dec 11. I have somehow managed to sneak up to 141,844 meters on the HC. Not bad for a guy who can't stand for more than 60 seconds yet. Welcome Tamara and Barry Gilhuly from Waterloo, Ontario to the Eh!Team. Could someone please make sure of the newcomers are up to speed on posting their kilometers to the forum so I can keep track of our progress. I will update the website later today and check out how long a route through europe, africa, middle east, australia and back would be. Keep on rowin', hosers. Jim

Well, we are through the heart of the Ottawa valley now, eh? I can just see the folks from "What's Bred in the Bone" standing back and making no comment as our boat slides past. <img src='http://www.arnprior.ca/images/deskmuseum.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> This beautiful brick building is the museum in Arnprior. Wave at our team member, Lori Mackay in Almonte, she is just to the south of us. Rough guess for: St. John's Ireland London Paris Rome Africa Israel Middle East India Singapore Australia Sydney Auckland French Polynesia Peru Cuba Vermont about 41, 285 kilometers! It will probably be like up to 50,000 kliks by the time we arrive back at Concept2 depending on route variations, eh. Is the Eh!Team up for it? That's a lot of rowin' hosers. JIm

Dec. 11: 16k for me during the weekend. Congratulations John for your PB! You inspired me to do a 2k time trial this afternoon. I used Mike Caviston's recommendations regarding warm up and pacing, and ended up with a time of 6:55.7. A PB by default since I it was the first time I did it. John, I think that with a more conservative pacing you will easily go under 7:00 next time. Cheers, Francois

Impressive first 2000 Francois!!! Excellent time, you should do great at the Canadians . I'm up for the long haul too, I like that, Kilo-marathon . I put in 9k today total with 3X1000 low stroke rate.

December 12th - 20K - 1:13:08 -1:49.5 splits. I taught Grade 8 for six months in Fitzroy Harbour, so we're rowing down the same stretch that was my commute for a while. Cheers, Brian

Hey, I didn't research your group beforehand so I didn't know you were rowing across the Great White North. I just saw "eh" in the title and figure why not. I guess since I joined Friday that Friday's row counts. 7.162 km. A 5k p.b. + warm up & cool down Cheers, Kirk

[old] Yukon John · Post by **[old] Yukon John** » December 12th, 2005, 2:14 pm

Francois, where did you find the post from Mike Caviston on pacing for the 2k. I have an idea on how I would like to do it next time, but if the plan worked for you then I would also like to give it a shot. Thanks, John.

<table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><div class='genmed'>QUOTE(Yukon John @ Dec 12 2005, 06:14 PM)</div></td></tr><tr><td class='quote'>Francois, where did you find the post from Mike Caviston on pacing for the 2k. I have an idea on how I would like to do it next time, but if the plan worked for you then I would also like to give it a shot. Thanks, John. </td></tr></table> John, There are two posts by Mike on pacing: <a href='http://concept2.ipbhost.com/index.php?s ... st&p=37831' target='_blank'>post 1</a> and <a href='http://concept2.ipbhost.com/index.php?s ... st&p=37886' target='_blank'>post 2</a>. Essentially, if your goal pace is 1:44.8 for instance (to break 7 min ) , you would proceed as follows: divide the 2000m into five 400m segments. you would do the 1st 400 at 1:46, the 2nd 400m at 1:46, the 3rd at 1:45, the 4th at 1:44 and the last at 1:43. Next to proper pacing, Mike stresses that proper warm up is crucial. You can find Mike's post on the subject <a href='http://concept2.ipbhost.com/index.php?s ... st&p=41328' target='_blank'>here</a>.

Can I ask what drag factor you use on the C2. I'm a similar weight to you and I use 130.

You must be sarcastic! Regarding my DF, it is at 100, which corresponds to setting 3 on my model D. Cheers, Francois
