Re: February 19 CTC - 2801m

A hard effort sneaked me just ahead of Wolfie, meaning I was in boat 1 ... for less than 4 hours before Peter edged me. More pain ahead :(

Re: 2018 weight loss thread

Nice to be able to update my signature, as started out 2018 at 112.6kg.
I'll still contribute to the 2019 weight loss thread, if there is one, as I'd like to get a smidge under 90kg.

Re: Anyone had any SEASON's bests recently?

Wow, total coincident Wolfie but I've also just done a 60 min row and managed 15045 (revenge for the last CTC :wink:), my best since 2012! Starting to fool myself that I'll be competitive at BRIC 2019 in December :^o ; did my first 2k for 9 years a couple of days ago and hung on for 7:16.2 so I have...

Re: 2018 weight loss thread

Progress being made but much slower. Have now started to commute to work by bike (16 miles x 2 per day) so the erging will be substantially reduced but still hoping to do c20k a week. Zero booze and minimal cake since 31/12/17 - objective is to get to a base sustainable weight (c92kg), continue exer...

Still going in the right direction, apart for a minor blip over Easter. Original intention was sub 98kg by the summer but now hoping for closer to 94kg ... we'll see.

Third attempt HURT.
1. 3789
2. 3892
3. 3939
A couple more goes before the month is over but 4000+ is looking very painful - but at least I'm back into a floating boat :)

Re: 2018 weight loss thread

Still broadly in the correct direction but looks like diminishing returns have kicked in. Shame, as I can't consume less alcohol, nor erg more, all that is left is the diet - and my discipline regarding that is starting to creak. If I don't report back in a month it means my emphasis has changed fro...

Re: 2018 weight loss thread

Austere lifestyle continuing with good results - at this rate I'll be back on the beer and curry before I know it :) I've managed to get back into the routine of longish sessions without too much problem. However, on the odd occasion when I have tried to increase pace for a whole session then the ex...

Re: 2018 weight loss thread

I've been otherwise occupied from fitness for a while but I was still quite shocked to see I'd ballooned to an all time high when I did my annual weight test recently - my target is <98kg. So erging has recommenced - not been doing it seriously for 8 years. And alcohol consumption has stopped (tempo...

Re: Drag Factor - What's yours?

To date 140 for everything (Damper=6). Might start to have a bit of a play with this and increase to 160 for 2k and below. Problem with that is I'll change it for one session and then forget about it - probably best to leave as is!
