Rowsandall.com provides a rich set of tools to analyze data from training sessions, both on the water, and on ergs. The new support will allow coaches to view, analyze...

Re: February 14th Carole McNally Memorial CTC

I rowed this really slowly as my cooling down. The training schedule gave me no other choice. But I did participate!

Re: Marathon Training.

Definitely you need to prepare for the open (salt) water and OTW related stuff. Blisters. Food. Navigation. Communication. Support team on the ground.
Special preparation for your boat, perhaps. I have only done the Elfstedentocht which is on lakes but we did prepare our boats for chop, etc.

Somebody "lulunac27" has put a weird result in as a Free Spirits Member. I am going to inform the CTC admins over on the Concept2 forum.

Re: The January CTC will be our choice

I like the 4x4x4 thing. If we go for a ranking distance I would vote for the 30 min but any other one would be ok too. I also have difficulty squeezing in the ranking distances and CTC with the normal training sessions.

You are really a bunch of Crazy (Polar) Bears. It's fun to read this. I know there is a HM and FM erg race somewhere in the South of the Netherlands if anyone is interested. At least there used to be one.

Here is my take on it:

A 3:21.4 was the result. I guess I have to update my SB score in the signature.

Re: October CTC: 10k unrestricted

Managed a 38:09.1, which I consider pretty good, looking at a PB of 37:45.4. The hardest part was rowing down from 7km to go to 3km to go. After that I dared to speed up.

Thanks for the nice words. I am lucky to live in a part of the world with a lot of Worlds Masters. Poznan, Duisburg, Hazewinkel, Vienna, Varese all were within 1000km of driving. And Bled will be even closer.

Re: The January CTC will be our choice

My personal criteria for a good challenge are: 1. It doubles as a good workout. 2. Simple to program on the PM - no fancy stuff 3. Don't like rate restricted or other gimmicks 4. I like pacing challenges, i.e. intervals where you have to record the slowest one 5. Intervals are not very suitable for ...

2) I know what you mean, the general impression I get is that it's quite hard to simply summarise what's going on in the muscles during excercise - certainly there is the aspect of getting the body to use fats as a fuel and I think that's one aspect, however like you say that's less part of the rac...
