Re: LADIES banter/training/motivation thread ??
Hi All, Yes, I am back rowing again. Last year wasn't one of the best ones of my life. However, things are working themselves out and I'm in a better place now. My erg was in storage for about 8 months (and unused for 3 months before that). I unpacked and set up my erg on Dec. 3rd. I was disappointe...

Re: LADIES banter/training/motivation thread ??
Last year, Rita set up on the ELM, a Tour du France row. It certainly helped me to do my meters as the bike riders did theirs. We rowed 1/10 of their daily meters. That took care of rowing incentive for July. I hope to set this up this challenge really soon on the ELM. I made my 14 million lifetime...

Re: July CTC - 8x500m rest 3' -- VOTE to add to our ELM league?
I think the correct name for the group that picked July's challenge is "The Sub7 Sadists"! :evil: I probably could have gone with a 2 minute rest period and would have been pleased to have this interval session end 7 minutes sooner. My average was 2:07.7 with a low time of 2:06.2 at interv...

I was planning on doing a FM today, but things came up in the last month and forced a change of plans. I'm on slow (~ 2:35/500m, compared to my good steady pace of ~ 2:20) rows for awhile and for about 30 minutes at a clip. :-({|= :cry: However, I did get in 5 x ~ 6300 meter sessions for 31,000+ tow...

Good luck to all our BIRC competitors!! Make sure you go through the checklist before your race: 1) check the drag factor on your erg 2) check that the monitor is on your desired display screen (units, split times etc) 3) located the nearest bucket, keeping in mind that the nearest bucket maybe behi...

I too have noticed Bob's distances and I'm jealous that he can devote 3+ hr to rowing each day. I would also probably row the extra 10-15 minutes/~ 3,000 K to make it a series of Full Marathons :twisted:. Yes, this is coming from the person who is chasing Tom B on the multitudes of HM's on the ELM e...

And for those in the US, what better way to start off a weekend of Thanksgiving feasting than by rowing a full (or half) marathon? If you start out during the pre-game show of the 12:30 football game (i.e. noon), and row ~ 2:25 pace you will finish a FM before the game ends and will have burned ~ 25...

I tried to eke out another meter or 2 out of this tonight, but no luck... 1023m, thus the 1024 m trial from a few weeks ago stands. Oh well. Given the amount of chocolate I have been snacking on today, I was hoping a hard sprint might kick start the metabolism so that I would burn those extra calori...

Hello mates! Quite nasty weather you have been having in London.. the pitch at Wembley looked awful. I'm glad my NY Giants didn't suffer any bad injuries. So yes, I did watch an American football game in London. Definitely not the best that we have to offer, but the right team won 8). Set my erg for...
