Re: World Erg Challenge, March 15th - April 15th

🤔If all FS world erg challenge participants put in 1-2k extra per day for a couple days we’d move up to spot 5. I’ll start tonight!

Daily progress and flags do not show on chrome or safari, and the “update now” vanished as well. I’ll look later again.

Re: FS Sweat protection option

Wolfie check the paperwork in the box - there should be a complete list of „who wanted what“in there.

Was a bit worried about customs procedures- but glad that they arrived.

If you are not sure where give a small donation - I’d appreciate a small gift to Doctors Without Borders.

Re: FS Sweat protection option

More time than ever on hand allowed for long needed clean out of “The Mancave”. That’s one good thing that came out of SARS-CoV-2. What the Mrs. discovered was a treasure trove of the original Halo head bands from 2009. It’s the style where the sticky yellow part does not fall apart after a couple o...

Re: 2018/19 Summary and Aspirations for 2019/20

Good to see all the goals people set! The 2018/20 started well. I was on a great trajectory when a foot bone fracture took me out of commission for 9 months. Still managed 489k Rower and 73k ski erg, mainly May/June last year. Carefully started up again this year in April, so far so good. My humble ...

Re: Injuries.....:(

Still on my 5th Metatarsal fracture.
Nice callus formed and was not displaced. Orthopedic surgeon said I can be more active a couple weeks ago and I managed to refracture whilst walking around at work. Today a screw and non weight bearing for several weeks. Got myself a Xmas present!

Re: Injuries.....:(

My trajectory has changed from rowing a bit to ... not at all for a while. Left foot pain started about 2-3 weeks ago, and I finally made myself go for a work up. A fifth metatarsal bone stress fracture was found :evil: . Will hear next week if wearing the boot is all I need to do or if surgery is i...

Re: June ctc - 10k, no stroke rate restrictions

Well done Emma P and Gregor! My better half Spookaboo just floated another boat and, thanks to her, I can be in a boat as well. I need a megaphone 📣 to talk to her in her boat though.
Because of a college tour with my daughter I can’t go again this month.

Re: June ctc - 10k, no stroke rate restrictions

Erik that is amazing and scary at the same time. Just theorizing, and surely you have been advised by your cardiologist properly — some forms of arrhythmia get triggered with more catecholamines present. A couple of mattresses on either side of the erg might be good in case you get zapped while rowi...

Re: June ctc - 10k, no stroke rate restrictions

Well paced Ian!
I do hope a couple of FS ladies will float the remaining boats - not sure if can come up with a 2:00.x split to get into a boat! Surely one more try at the end of the month for me.
Danke, Peter, für das Anspornen!

Re: Happy Birthday! FS 12 years...

So when was the first post in the forum? ThomasWP, Mike Channin ... Webbster, Michelle Houghton and a couple of others may remember. It’s my third time FS rekindled my rowing. I joined 10/12/2006 - still living in New Jersey.

First participation in a long while. Last 10k CTC for me was 6/2014 where I landed with 38:30.x in FS III. At least this was my fastest 10k since 5/2015: less than a day after a Transatlantic flight & fasted for 19h it’s all I could muster. Will have at least one more try at the end of the month...

Love hearing about y’allsseses progress in weight loss. Will post later in the year. My start January 20th is 132.5 kg. So far, 9kg down with two interventions that did not yet receive the benefits of cutting down beer and wine.

Hi Iain!
