Re: December CTC: 3x2k/3´ slowest rep to count
Hi Stan, I didn't realize you were there! I was definitely in a zone - recent training suggested I had no excuse not to PR and I was pretty nervous. I did this today. The pacing makes it ultra-burny as I like to go out easy in a piece and then finish hard, but you have to approach this one a little ...

Re: December CTC: 3x2k/3´ slowest rep to count
I'm terrified of this one and I want to do it ONCE! How have your splits compared to your 5k or 6k splits?
I am not sure how to set out. I know I can't make it up in later reps, but I don't want to have to slow down more than I would have otherwise because I went out too fast..

Re: November CTC: 4 x 250m / 3 min rest
My average was just about a second faster than my 500 SB. It was painful not to be able to paddle it out between intervals.
I took a break and gave it another go and got slower with every rep. My average for that set was a second slower than the first set. A very different kind of challenge!

Re: November CTC: 4 x 250m / 3 min rest
I'm giving this a shot today. How is your average for the set comparing to your best 500m time? Not quite sure where to start...

Re: May CTC: 5555m
I'm going to give this a go this weekend. I'm back on the water so I'm not erging quite as much lately.

Re: WAARC - April 2013 - 60min
14419 - 33F 75kg. Started out way too fast and then slowed WAY down. I'm extremely proud that I didn't quit.

Re: Team **24** hour relay - 38% full as of 26th April.
Couldn't log on until now, sorry. I did the WAARC 60 minute piece as my segment - couldn't put it off anymore. I'm feeling out of shape and am unhappy with my score (I started out at my PR pace which made for a miserable experience, but I finished!) I'll give that distance another go in the next few...

Re: WAARC - April 2013 - 60min
I'd like to try this over the weekend. I've never done a 60 minute piece. How many seconds would you add to your 30 minute piece split?

Re: Nonathlon 2013
Are there any Free Spirits around Oxford or London with their own erg who would let me do a marathon later this year? I simply could never do this at the gym I currently belong to, but I would like to make a marathon attempt this year.

Re: Nonathlon 2013
Thanks, Stan. I've never done a marathon before. I'm a little apprehensive about doing the longer tests in the gym but maybe I'll be able to find another location... This is a fun format!

Re: 500m Free Spirit ranking distance for February.
I gave this a shot over the weekend but I think I can do better. I'll give it another go tomorrow morning. I now go to a gym rather than a boathouse - it's definitely another layer of challenge to try to focus in that setting.

Re: February CTC - 30 minutes
Thanks! I really did not enjoy the first 7 minutes or the last 1:30 but I wanted to move up a bit on the board. At 20:00, I decided to count to 300 and that distracted me for a while. Splits were 1:59.2, 1:59.5, 1:58.6, 1:58.7, 1:56.5.
