Cheers, Gregor.

Well, you're not the only one with those pesky reds (predominantly).
Is going to be a long wait at the traffic lights to see them all turn green.

Looks like Torquemada (Pepe, I believe) and SandbaggerOne had a decent start to the season though!

With the 19/20 rowing season almost two and a half months underway, it's time to start up a new meta-nonathlon. What is the meta-nonathlon and what has changed? Here's a quick summary. What is the Free Spirits meta-nonathlon? The meta-nonathlon is a motivational tool, based on the nonathlon of two c...

To (hopefully) avoid any confusion, this will be a second filter list on the nonathlon website. One for Free Spirits that want to take part in the meta-nonathlon (and are eligible to do so). This list will most likely be shorter than the first, normal filter list. If you want to appear on the normal...

I would have much preferred the standard 2k over this dreadful sprinty stuff!

Only guessing, but I guess that it pops up as soon as Stan has added Roger to the team for this season

More likely, when I'm done working and my summer holiday starts. Mid July.

Finally decided to do this one. The only other option would have been this Sunday, but I didn't want to leave it to the last day. I think I can be reasonably happy with the result: 22:47.0 @1:53.9. Pace was very uneven though. It's just enough to get ahead of Jon & Jon for now, but as I'm still over...

Very close.

Hi Stan,

Me too, please.

Actually wondering why so many wait with their entries until the last days of the C2CTC challenges. In my case it's just a case of delaying something unpleasant until there's so little time left that I can't wait much longer :oops: Especially sprinty intervals are not really my cup of tea, must do ...

The bad news: I had to do this as heavyweight still (77.1 on the scales this morning).
The good news: the result was better than expected with 1:55.2 average pace (1:56.3 / 1:55.5 / 1:53.8 ).

Thanks Dave and Steve!
Received my complimentary C2 towel (plus pin and certificate) yesterday.

As an administrative notice: when the nonathlon site will renew to start the 19/20 season, it can take a while before I set up the new meta-nonathlon.
For efficiency reasons I tend to wait until a decent number of Free Spirits have registered for the new season and are included in the FS filter list.

Goals for 2019/2020:
1. To stop/reverse this personal trend:

2. To regain lightweight status
3. To get fairly close to my PBs (I'm not saying rowing new ones).

Many apologies Rodger - I think this is a user name split problem which I'd not spotted. I'll amend once I'm back with my PC.

No worries.

Ian, thanks for taking over this baton. You have me on 65 lifetime CTCs. I think I'm on 72. It was 70 in the list I posted in January and I have done 2 since. Also, you are bound to miss some challenges from Free Spirits who were not in the 'Club 50' if you are taking the lifetime numbers from the g...

Hi, can I join in next year, and if so, what will it mean not having any scores to compare against? I was once competitive, but fell off the erg a bit for a few years. However I'm back on it now. If you did row (some of) the pieces last year, but haven't registered them on the nonathlon website: yo...

I seem to remember that this workout is sometimes used as a pace predictor for a 2k. Is that right?

Thanks for all your efforts in producing the tables Rodger. I love this chart (maybe not at the end of next year though). Can you rattle one off for the last 3~4 years with overall totals? I seem to remember you've done them before. Need a bit of ego boosting, plummy? :lol: :wink: Here you go (I wa...

The 2018/2019 season is done. Big congratulations to Jon Taylor for topping this season's league!
The first 10 on the list deserve recognition for reaching a score of 900+ indicating an overall improvement over last season!

It took 8 years, but I managed to pass 10M this weekend.

BW Rowing announced their CTC choice for May: "3x1k 5min rest".

I take it that means 5 minutes in both rest intervals, 10 minutes rest total.
Tough workout, decent warm up required.

Place your bets!

Yes.

I got my times in before season closes, do l need to select a team. No option I the drop down box Hi Cuts (interesting name), To appear in the Free Spirits list on the nonathlon site, Stan needs to manually add you.
