Re: October 2013 - celebrating the life of Gaye McOnie

I just finished my 3,861. It was a celebration (somber in some ways). Thinking of both Gaye and Dave today.

Re: October 2013 - celebrating the life of Gaye McOnie

Thanks to Plummy for posting this one the FB page. I would love to participate! I only have a waterrower. It is my understanding that it is going to be kept track of on the meterboard. Is that correct? If so, then I can't participate, if it is an honor system on the forum itself than I'd be honored ...

Re: L4s, etc...the Wolverine(sque) Plan

You people are CRAZY! I go away for a week (ish) and y'all are posting so many great things that I can't keep track and the EPOC TE, etc. HR stuff gone looney!

Re: L4s, etc...the Wolverine(sque) Plan

Zoot, Huw is right. A 30' or 40' at 168/172 is a great place to start. You'll find that you like the odd strokes or even strokes better and you'll start building your L4s around that. I found 17/19s were a thing of bliss. If you find that the 30' is too hard than feel free to back off the reference ...

Re: Fall Challenge 2012

I really just meant to say ON THIS THREAD ONLY "this is where I'd be in the standings if I were rowing on a C2". I in no way meant to imply that my meters should be added to the FS total.

Re: L4s, etc...the Wolverine(sque) Plan

Okay, so my re-introduction to the erg is going to consist of incredibly slow (like I won't even post times) L3s. I am too weak to complete a L4 at the moment (not to mention L2s. Short L1s may be an option). I hope this very loosey goosey WP will be okay with y'all. Yesterday for me... 6K (embarras...

Okay, so I've joined the group. Not to compete, 'cause competing is just down right silly, but because I can't get my a%% on an erg to save my life at this point and I figured paying money and the potential of getting yelled at might help... We'll see... I hope y'all don't mind. And since Bill and H...

Today for me...

OTW 7 seat

WU pick drill/outside arm only

Then 10 strokes off by 6, then 20 strokes on by 8. Then 1'on/1' off.

Our boat is not very fast, but we were almost set, which was nice, and had some good ratio.
