I've had one go at 2:07.1.
Should be able to improve on that but doubt I'll sustain under 2

well done Graham

for information

Below is the FIRT choice for December workout :

"The French Kiss n°2" :
Row the following reps:
One minute, two minutes, three minutes,
one minute, two minutes, three minutes
with a maximum of nine minutes resting, spread any way you like.
First rep from a standing start, the other reps from a standing or rolling start (your choice).
Record your total distance for twelve minutes not including the nine minutes rest
same as May 2014, an opportunity to see if you have improved your rowing abilities from that point.

Terry and had a go at the CTC tonite
not too bad for a first attempt and suspect there is room for improvement
mine @1:45 and terry's @1:52

Nice openers Lindsay and Terry.

I had another attempt tonight. Handled down just over half way through the third 750 while averaging 1:46 overall. which was just daft i was finding it tough but i only had one min to go on that set. I have done a few silly stops recently and this was another one.... Ten seconds later I was kicking myself.

IRL Second go.
6344m in 26:44.1 at 2:06.4
8.5 sec improvement but there's not much more.
Was on for 2:05 until half way then started flagging and the last 1500m was a mess - my demon was screaming at me to HD but I gave him the finger and finished it.
Happy to finish and improve, but 2:00 is still beyond me at this distance

You improved and did not HD. That matters most.

Did mine today, 24:45.0. Was a bit too optimistic at the start but all together not unhappy with it.

Nice one Rolf!

Nice one Rolf!

Thanks Graham.

Participation in the team is good. We ve registered 8 scores so far this month.

Did the IRL 6344m yesterday in 1:50.9, 0.5 faster than last year but that seems like not a lot of improvement for another year's worth of training.

11th hour CTC

[lindsayh]

11th hour CTC

Looks like a 12th hour actually Jack! (12:28)

[Rolf_Boers]

Did a last attempt on the ctc today. Aimed at sub 10:30, did 10:27.9 which is 9 sec improvement. So very happy
