First 3 177s: 1:39.7/1:39.7/1:39.4
777: 1:43.7
Last 3 177s: 1:38.8/1:37.7/135.1
Total time of 6:10.2.
Somehow despite being rolling I completely missed the start on the final 177 - average was showing 4:xx after the first proper stroke! Given the faster final 3 feels like this probably wasn't 100%, may have another crack on Saturday, but to be honest even if I don't I'm not too dissatisfied with this.

That is nicely paced Rohan - well done. There is a fine line to missing the first rolling stroke and the average is pretty scary when it comes up. Chasing it down when you only have 20 odd strokes means it can cost a little.

Those short ones are very very strong Allan but pleased that I stayed ahead!! I month at a time right now.

Thought I would try a few 100m, since about 2007/2008.
16.5 (122.5)/16.6(123.0/16.2(121.0)16.2(122.0) finally 16.0 (120.0). Left it there for next time to break 16sec.

3rd attempt was not the charm. I bit off a little more than I could chew on the 777m interval. I guess the 2nd attempt will stand. It looked like a good idea on paper

Getting faster again Allan, standing starts? Drag?

[allanhallberg]

All standing starts, DF will have to check in the morning.
SPM 54 - 56 so need to speed it up a tad.

For max speed, train extra strenght 40/45 is high enough.

Back once again, had to take a 2 week break from erging due to a big physical slump I went through since the end of march, I might have overdone
things a bit with training load and not getting enough sleep (daylight saving time, argh). Kept going with on-water training, but that's usually less intense.

Reluctantly climbed back on the erg today to give the april challenge at least 1 go. I thought I did well with a 6:04.7 all things considered (tired from morning
training and open blisters on both hands), but a lowly 4th boat ranking suggests I should have done better. The sprint format is really something that
needs to be experienced once to learn how to pace it properly. Hopefully I can pick up where I left off this month and do better on next months all-out sprinting
challenge.

At least you got round giving it a go. Overall level ctc eas great again. Some great guys posting monster times.

Gave the series a last go. 500m this month 1.21.0/42 for some strange reason, although never really went for it, but ave the 500 several goes, but it never felt great. Today, no different, felt a bit stiff and cold,mit was very windy, weather forcast was great, but I found it crap, hate hard winds.
Topspeed was poor, kept going ok, but just a tad to slow...

Welcome back Ivan - I too had to take a couple of weeks off due to work but admittedly didn't get back on the erg on my couple of days at home. I am back at it now and started the Beginner Pete Plan today (day 1!). Want to start the new season off on a good note.

Did the C2CTC and of course have one of the lowest scores on there. I posted 1236m and the next ones up are in the 1400m ranges. More work to do for me!

Ladies and Gents:

I also have a question - is the 'Forum Flyers 2017' team still active or was that for the 2016/2017 season only? I realize the affiliation and teams are different on the website.

thanks again!

[allanhallberg]

Well that got very ugly very quickly. Thought I would go hard for the first 5 and dig in for the last 5, unfortunately my first 30sec was quickest and went backwards. Lactic acid didn't really get a chance to clear and ended up being a lot of pain and gasping. Finished with 1707m. A nice cold beer went down really well

Certainly active, we rol the name over every year, but its the same team.

Allan, its pretty long 30 seconds, some kind of pacing is needed.
