My first entry in God knows how many years! 13:05.2
Well its a time! Lets leave it at that shall we *cough cough*

Thank you all. I was forced into doing something about the weight last June when I began suffering horrendous joint pain. I did something different this time and joined a group - slimming world, and here I am 4.25 stone lighter and back under 100kg - I would eventually like to row as a lightweight b...

Hi all, first of all I apologise for my absence and thought you would have ousted me long ago! I have just been contacted by email regarding this discussion and I have passed captaincy to Tako. Tako you should get an email from C2 offering the role to you. I think you just need to accept and it will...

Hi Colin, you are in. Been off this week so only just seen the message.
Hoping to get back on the rower this week. The achilles tendon is still a bit tender though, so I will have to take it even easier.

Well the achilles tendon trouble has almost sorted itself out, so I am tentatively hoping to get back on the rower this week. No chance of doing this challenge unfortunately.

Oh my goodness where did you spring from? good to hear from you though.

Ive done the first weeks total, but now have a problem with the achilles tendon. Not sure if its rowing related, but its painful. Not as bad as yesterday so some hope of improving further. I will need to keep an eye on that though. Up until then I was doing ok, seasons best for 5k and 30 mins. Just ...

Thanks jbh

Hi, you are in.

Opportune moment to check how far I got before stalling. 25 million + , I will post here again at 26 million.

Well my first ctc for several years! Truly dreadful time but just about broke 10 minutes and was pulling 1:46s in the last few metres. Based it on the first row on my new machine about a month ago which 10 mins for 2000m exactly. This time I went through 2k in 9:35, so its improving. Onwards and upw...

Hi Kevin, you need to join the nonathlon website and let me know under what name you are registered. I just checked but I cannot see you at the moment.

Actually scratch that. I found your number, so I have added you. Have fun

Thanks!

Hi Allen
I have now added you. Enjoy!

ok finally had the courage to post my opening 2k and 5k. The latter I have been working on for the last couple of weeks. Currently scoring in the 600s which gives lots of room for further improvements. Embarrassing but I am where I am and its only going to get better.

very impressive piece of work Jon which currently highlights the fact I haven't entered any scores this year yet. Basically because they are just embarrassingly awful at the moment, but I am going to put a couple of times in just to see improvements again as time goes on.

Thanks Ann. Its good to be back

Back on the comeback trail today with 2x10 mins. Covered 3818m @ 2:37 pace. Enough to quicken my breath, but not gasping. Just need to build this kind of row up.

Looks like a nice short one for me to get back into rowing. I will give this a few goes

ok, the new erg has arrived, its been set up. Drag factor set to around 125 (5 on the lever). 10 minutes to start with as I havent done much exercise recently and boy did it show. I hit precisely 2000m. Has anybody realised that coronavirus originated on the c2, I now have a cough. Boy I remember er...
