Sorry to hear about your leg carol, going to do any one legged rowing?!? Finished my recovery phase now following Amsterdam. Going to bring back the intensity today, starting with a 1k for the challenge.

Hi Folks Am in Scotland for New Year taking a dip in Loch Ken with the mad locals tomorrow at 10. Will try and not drink too much tonight, Tried a 1k. !st attempt resulted in handles down as went off like a bat out of hell. Tried again after a rest and did 3.58.8. Am humungously ashamed of this but at least I did it and I have been out now for some time so I have an excuse. Temperence and fortitude for the New Year me thinks Carole Will you be open for visitors next week. I have a week off so you could whip me whilst I keep your ergo oiled and unrusted. May even try a 2k and defeat the jinx. You know all about that eh? Have a great New Year everyone

Just had a go at the 1k challenge and failed to match my pb by 0.5secs Hamstrings are aching and chest is burning, but still I had a go Matt - I managed to do the 1k in 3:16.6 (pb still 3:16.1). Carole, I haven't been on the forum for a good week + and just read your thread; what have you done? Are still able to go on holiday? Best Wishes for the New Year to Team Oarsome

Monica yep open for visitors any day bar Tuesday..already booked up that day ... Just sat on the erg and did one k one legged with poorly leg stuck out managed 2.29 so got under 5 mins ... think when Ste sorts my skateboard out thats the pace I will stick to about 2.30 ...wil still be burning fat then ... and won't be quite so paranoid about the old weight.... Matt can I still do the league there must be some formula you can sort out ... for minus one leg ..lol.

Wow - some great 1k efforts there! Roy has PMed me with a 3:17 as well. Carole - Pink nice choice

I'm logged in at my olds' so can't update web at moment - will do so in a few days when I'm back in Cambridge. In the meantime Challenge 4 (30mins unrestricted) starts today and runs for 2 weeks. Challenge 5 voting starts here & now. Remember - 1 vote only, no changing of choice. Vote only counts if it is clear you are voting - eg "My vote is for ...." Here goes - My challenge 5 vote is for 2k unrestricted

[old] Ash · Post by **[old] Ash** » January 1st, 2005, 7:26 am

dont want to do a 2k until manchester/boston, so: My vote for challenge 5 is for 10 x 1500 with 1 minute rest. Mums vote is for a 10k unrestricted.

I'll have a little dabble today on my dad's erg with one leg to come up with a guesstimate for how we can adjust your times - off the top of my head I'm guessing pace should be -15 secs. We should all have a little go with one leg and come up with the average difference we think should be applied by me to your results while you are one legged

I'm with ASH for the next challenge and vote for 10 x 1500 with 1 min recovery. Good session and fits in well with training.

[old] AdrianN · Post by **[old] AdrianN** » January 1st, 2005, 12:44 pm

Some cracking last minute 1k efforts there and I slide further down the table Still, I'm going to have a go at training for a Marathon this year so for the next challenge I vote for 60 mins unrestricted.

[old] Matt Newman · Post by **[old] Matt Newman** » January 1st, 2005, 1:12 pm

Challenge 5. 5 votes so far: 2 votes: 10 x 1500 with 1 min recovery - ASH & NR 1 vote: 60mins unrestricted - AN 1 vote: 10k unrestricted - HH 1 vote: 2k unrestricted - MN Carole's 1 leg handicap for challenges 1 vote so far. Average top be used: 25 secs /500 pace : MN

[old] grhall007 · Post by **[old] grhall007** » January 1st, 2005, 8:07 pm

Matt, I'd like to vote for 10k as the next challenge, because it follows on nicely after 30mins, probably quite close for some of the faster members of TO

Hi All, Happy New Year

[old] Lippy · Post by **[old] Lippy** » January 2nd, 2005, 6:24 am

Carole, I'd really think seriously about NOT doing much one legged rowing, it's likely to cause all sorts of awful muscle imbalances particularly in your back where you can least do with that sort of thing. Cycling on a static bike would probably be much better just now, I would think, with some weight training for upper body stuff. Best of luck though, I do know how frustrating this is and hats off to you for trying to keep something going while you're crocked! Lee (Saunders)
