This week I did 6.45 at my third 2K ever. In 2,5 months (when I started using the erg) I´ve gone from 7,26 to 6,45. I couldn´t have done it without help from this forum. Thanks a lot! Especially advices about my form was helpful.

Excellent progress, congrats!!!

I do agree, having such a great community-forum like this really does help massively. It's also like we are all in it together, and i like that feeling.

Well done, Remi!
Only a fortnight ago you were not so sure about R20 efforts, iirc.

Beginning to get a feel for them it seems!
