Re: Anniversary row

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 ev...

Re: Virtual Team Challenge

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 r...

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?

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 ...

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?

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... :roll:

Re: 2020 weight loss thread

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...

Re: Nonathlon 2021

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...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?

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...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?

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 watchin...
