Another one under the belt. This million was faster than usual for me, it only took 84 days.

For the longest time, the HM was my favorite distance. I currently stand at 357 rows, my record for a rowing season is 136 (season 2012). I used to watch a lot of sports when rowing, and the HM was a good distance for that. Later on, I became obsessed to reach a pace average of below 2:00/500m for ...

Thanks bierik, that fixed things for me.

Glad to hear that it helped you fix the problem. Note that the change does affect all sites viewed in chrome: no links on a site will be preloaded into the cache anymore. Personally, I'm against prefetching contents of links. If I do want to follow a link ...

Now that helped to find the culprit :). Chrome or Chromium try to prefetch the page https://www.nonathlon.com/rankingswitch.php when clicking on "Show Times". nonathlon does not seem to like it and sends a 503:

Disabling prefetch does help. You can try it ...

I have 2 computers, both running the Chrome browser. "Show Times" works on one and does nothing on the other...


What I can reproduce is that when you have two tabs open on the site in the same browser (Firefox under Linux), both not showing times, and you click on “show times“ in one of them ...

I‘ve never ever seen that button „Show Times“. I‘ve just tried it and it has indeed shown the times as well, so it seems to work, at least for me.

Nicely done Kay, but R41 for the 1500? Can't imagine that, while not sure what happened to your HR monitor.

The HR monitor is a Garmin watch without a belt. It is kinda accurate, but sometimes goes on a wild tangent :cry: .
Yeah, the SPM is much higher than I'm used to. I started lower but sped ...

That was a tough one to pace. The 3min break before the 1000m was a blessing.

I do have several Postgres databases locally, so choosing it for the concept2 data was easy. I integrated support for sqlite3 today. It took two lines of code in the db connection layer since the queries themselves are db-agnostic :D . The script for creating the table in sqlite3 needed one tweak as ...

I have a local database that has all my csv files from concept2 in it (updated once a day or whenever I want it) and that I can query to create pretty much any analysis or statistics that I want. Lots of predefined queries are defined in a python script, but any ad hoc queries can be executed ...

Great row Mike! Now I somehow have to find 5m

Reached another million milestone today. Only three more til the circumnavigation is complete.

Oh and I too use a spreadsheet to track and project my rowing meters. Doesn't everybody?

Nope :D . I have a local database that has all my csv files from concept2 in it (updated once a day or whenever I want it) and that I can query to create pretty much any analysis or statistics that I want ...

Max / Michael MacLaren

Great effort!

Good to see so many free spirits already participating in this month's challenge . I had my first serious attempt today, 4831m. This puts me in boat 1, for now. The month is still young, though .

Thanks! My wife has the same hope

I might be able to do it as well! I‘ll go on vacation on Friday. If I can squeeze in a WOD in the morning (and do one every day before) I can get 5 . I have two so far.

I'm happy with any of the choices. Nonetheless, I did vote (for number 2).

Dog days are over for me Unfortunately, I won't be able to finish the next challenge.

My evil plan has been thwarted .

Mike Channin wrote: Thu Aug 22, 2024 8:14 am Haha. The 21094 was down to a typo when entering the distance, and I didn't notice until afterwards, so had to do another 103m.

Great . This has happened to me as well several times. Since then, I always look up the number (for HM and FM) to make sure they are right.

I'm having the opposite trouble with 3 of us very close and changing places. But bracing for Kay's wash as he zooms past while Oliver Leeds responds to Paul Roberts "challenge" (both were up in top 5 earlier in the season) so won't keep up for long, this just leaves Richard Healey's consistent ...

There goes my goal of completing all the challenges. I'm most probably away September 7th to September 11th so can at most get four WODs in .

That's the crux of the dog days. I managed 70K, 55K and 75K for the first three weeks, respectively. This doesn't count at all unless I manage 40K for the fourth week. I have some restrictions in the next couple of days and hope to get those 40Ks in... Mike, did you record your HM by hand? I saw you ...

Great row Mat! I concur with your resting and restarting strategies. With one row under the belt I kinda know what to expect and can try again in the next couple of days.
