Thanks Plummy

Jill. You are a legend. Thank you...

I bought my first Concept 2 erg in 2009, having never previously seen one in the flesh, never mind actually sat on one. Before I started cycling in 2006, the previous twenty years had been a largely exercise free zone. After unpacking the boxes and setting the thing up in the spare room, my first ...

Misinterpreted the title. Took me back to to the inevitable wedding anniversary arguments of married life. Thought you might be looking for some kind of adjudication. My mistake. Carry on...

All seems well Jon. Good work fella...

The Concept2 website has collapsed in a heap ( or at least the challenge section has) so no data is available and our analyser is not working because it depends on updates from Concept2. The troubles at C2 started earlier this week and they emailed me to say they had fixed the issues and improved ...

Given that it’s Remembrance Day, I did four consecutive pieces of 1914m, 1918m, 1939m and 1945m.

Lest we forget...

thanks Jon, meaning we will lose the badge if we don't complete the 4 weeks? Correct. If you miss a target you drop off the Concept2 honour board for the challenge and your prancing dog will be no more.......in theory 🙏🏻 It’s all about motivation, and Jon’s system encourages you to push yourself har ...

Superb piece of work Jon... I liked your response before you edited it :fsbgrin: If you want to do something about your score colouring, can I suggest the Premium version, available at a small monthly cost, where your scores are guaranteed to look far better. Money back guaranteed if you are not ...

Superb piece of work Jon...

That’s a strong start to the season Dave. A 2 million season on the cards maybe? Thanks Jon. Currently on course for 3 million as we speak, but the figures are skewed due to Covid. It’s only so high now as, like many people, I have only left the house a handful of times since lockdown. Rowing, and i ...

I think I can claim this as a PB.

My record metres for a season thus far was just over 598k in 2011/2012.

After this afternoon’s effort, my 2020/2021 total is now over 600k, with less than 20% of the season gone so far.

Quite pleased with that...

Nice work Paul. I weighed myself this evening and came up with 216.4 lb (97.25 kg) but that was just after rowing 15 km in 86 deg weather, so I’m not counting it. I’ll weigh in again on Tuesday or Wednesday morning and see where I am then. Daily weighing. The rules: (1) First thing in a morning. (2) ...

I would be interested in taking a pink one. There, I said it... :roll: Good evening Steve. I would be delighted to rehome a pink one if still available. I have sent you a PM detailing my address. Thanks to you and Boris for sorting this. Very much appreciated. I will gladly make a donation in the ...

The pool looks awesome...

Genuine question. Clarification requested. Talk to me about interpolation. I’m confused. If people take actual intermediate metre readings at actual intermediate times within a piece, then this is not what i would consider interpolation. Rather it’s an intermediate split. Happy with that. Are we tho ...

I have found that the best way to improve your technique is to row strapless - the only time I ever strap in is for a TT, and I find I can go up to 28/29 spm quite comfortably while rowing strapless. As far as df goes, I believe in setting the level wherever you feel best. Most of the people on the ...

At that rate, there is absolutely nowhere to hide in terms of technique Unfortunately there are other errors that creep in... My self appraisal as a rank amateur takes that well and truly into account Iain, I can assure you... :roll: I wasn’t for a moment suggesting that rowing at a slower rate a ...

As a rank amateur in this game, dropping my stroke rate to 20 rpm or thereabouts in recent weeks has given a different dimension to my erging. At that rate, there is absolutely nowhere to hide in terms of technique. Even I can see that mine has come on in leaps and bounds. I was inspired by ...

I am absolutely loving Jill’s write ups of our million metre heroes...

Keep ‘em coming...

Seriously impressive stuff...

I must agree. Jon has brought the Nonathlon to life. Well done young man ...

Fortunately, my son is currently studying for his A Levels, and has kindly advised me as follows: In any given year, the June solstice occurs at the particular moment that the Earth is positioned in its orbit such that the North Pole is leaning most towards the sun, ie the sun is directly over the ...
