BW Rowing's season's opener proved very popular with 116 boats launched in May. Congratulations to Sub7 for winning the challenge. FIRT turned out in force with 23 boats on the virtual river.
DLC Gidea Park has the challenge for July with Fitness Matters having the say in August.
A big welcome to Hockley Gym and the Cornish Gig Rowers who launched boats for the first time.

Joe

4 km Up and Down

Pyramid with 1 min rest per250 rowed
First interval from standing start, rolling for all others.
Record time for the 4km

It's a familiar session for Pete Plan followers but with a twist of shorter recovery intervals.

It amazes me what some can do on the ergo, on any rest that session he did is mind bending but on 30 sec rest
is just insane. Beyond my thinking that's for sure.

Fair play to anyone who pushes themselves and betters there fitness and goals fast or slow its all about the effort.

Might just include next months ctc as part of an interval session, all good.

Big 115kg, strong guy. Not so amazing to me. The 28 was not a mistake he thought it was 28. The 1k looks a bit slow given how he had left.

No, the PP pyramid contains a 1k in the middle just as well. The only difference is the shorter rest.

[jackarabit]

Good catch Grobi altho what I missed is the 1k in Joe's description. My eyes didn't get enuf rest after the 750.

A certain Simon Matterface of Sub7 seemed VERY excited about his result. In fact so excited that he entered it three times. I think Dougie could delete two of the three results without Simon's honour being called into question?

Young Matterface's enthusiasm has been curbed.

Dougie, how is it possible that an entry for the June challenge is valid when entered on July 2nd? I think these two entries should be removed as it is unfair to enter a score two days after deadline, regardless the site still being open for June entries or not.

To my knowledge an average day on planet earth doesn't last longer than 24 hours...

The CTC normally gets switched over at 12:00 midday local on 1st of the month. I did it using my mobile phone while I was out on my bike on Saturday. So I don't know how those late entries got inserted, I didn't do it, so the last four late entries have been removed.

Congratulations to Sub7 for winning the June challenge and launching eighteen boats, the highest number, on the virtual river.
Welcome TRAIN Manchester and Isenhurst Rowers who are new teams on the board.
Fitness Matters have next month's challenge with Team Oarsome securing the rights for September.
RC Mantova and ESPRIT, as relative newcomers with three months of active participation, may claim the October challenge but must contact me for this to happen.

Hi Daren

I have recently formed a team Fybro-Supporters, and would like to be included in the Cross Team Challenge list if that's ok. I have contacted concept 2 to ask them to include me as a new affiliation but as yet have not heard back and I can't see my team name in the drop down box, any suggestions???
