Re: Indoor Rowers League 2022-23
8 seats filled in FS2 now. Bizarrely, despite not rowing much recently, I was only .1 of a second off my best ever 500. That was will power and nothing else. I guess I get more stubborn as I get older Just 2 seats needed to float FS1…

Re: April CTC announced: The Magnificent Seven
I'm not very fast at the moment, but I am a lady, so I have floated another boat for you
(Of course, Jon, that means I haven't filled a seat in the IRL - one thing at a time...)

Looks good now Jon, but when I touched the “Free Spirits Rowing” on the top image to go back to the home page, I got a 404 page not found. Cheers, Louise

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2022-23
And another one for FS2 :fsbgrin: . Still very unfit compared to what I have been in recent years and not much time for rowing recently but I still harbour hopes of being able to complete a 10k by the end of next month. As usual this wonderful team competition is keeping me motivated (even if it may...

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2022-23
I had it in my head that January was 2k, and after a bout of COVID I’ve had a couple of failed attempts at that distance. Checked the FS website last night in the hope I’d find the boat was already full (it was!) only to discover the target was 1 min #-o Doh! I lost a month somewhere… It’s also real...

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2022-23
I put in an early not very fast one, but at least that’s a seat in FS2 in the bag in case my back seizes up again. If it doesn’t, maybe I’ll get a bit faster by the end of the month… it’s not a rowing issue - it’s from sitting in front of a screen for hours on end - but when it’s painful, I can’t ro...

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2022-23
I’ve had a trapped nerve in my back the last few weeks (age definitely starting to set in!) so no rowing at all I’m afraid. But it eased off in the last couple of days so I thought I’d be game and give it a crack. It was necessarily very slow, so you might prefer a time from Chris, but at least it g...

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2022-23
Thank you and well done Louise! =D> Am I spotting an end heart rate of 175 there? :shock: I don’t think quite 175, but def an indication of unfitness. I didn’t dare look. One of those rows where I just stared at the pace and tried to block the world of pain out :lol: Must get off the couch more!

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2022-23
I'm glad the IRL starts with just 4 mins. According to the C2 log, I've managed 7 rows in the last 4 months and two of those were this week! Luckily, for 4 mins, it really is possible to just close your eyes and pull like a dog (to quote those inspirational Cork lads). So my time is in for FS2. It w...

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2022-23
After a lazy summer, I’ve signed on for boat 2. Im offshore for the next couple of weeks so will be late to post a time but let’s hope this will be the incentive to get back on the rower more regularly!

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2021-22
Jon, Thanks so much for organizing this and motivating us as a team all season. Lads, thanks for all the kind words and banter. I have really enjoyed this, and the ‘pressure’ to put in a row for the team each month has got me back on the rower after periods where either the day job or germs have kep...

Re: April CTC - Rhythm Row
I took pity on the lads sitting on the shore waiting for a lady to float their boat :-) Very grateful to those who suggested dropping the df. I'd have sunk without that.

I think heart rate slows as you get older so I’m probably just ageing fast!!My HR curve pretty much matches your 500m one

Jon,
A thought. Maybe we could make some donations and you could pay someone to update the PHP?
