No problem, Jon. I could calculate things myself of course, but your webpage has made me lazy. So, instead of looking up what the points should be I'll wait for you. I think the right scores are somewhat a minor problem in the world at the moment. Verstuurd vanaf mijn FP3 met Tapatalk I'm starting ...

340's seem really high. The Jan challenge only had 193 boats (155 floated), so it doesn't seem from my reading of the post back in Jan 2023 that you could get more than 192 pts. I mean, I'm not complaining, haha. That’s correct. Something has gone wrong. I have a sinking feeling that as the CTC fol...

I've started a new year in the board. Always slightly a bit more work, adding columns to the running totals sheet as well, but it's there. First of all a question for Jon: are these scores correct?? I don't know exactly how things are calculated anymore, there are a lot of participants this month, ...

The challenge has ended 3 Superheros Dwayne K. Adams - 918,329 metres. Predicted - 918,329 metres Mike Channin - 830,000 metres. Predicted - 830,000 metres James Estes - 573,249 metres. Predicted - 573,249 metres 12 Heros Ian Bee - 497,583 metres. Predicted - 497,583 metres Oliver Leeds - 459,670 m...

That's a great achievement Mike. Not far to go now on Crazy Bear!

I'm not sure who our CTC captain is to be honest.

Keep it up Mike. How many to go?

Jon

I normally tidy up the dog's breakfast that the software makes of some surnames, but I don't have time today I'm afraid. Well done all. We are hanging on to 16th at the moment.

That's a good session Spider. I wouldn't have a hope of keeping track of the splits to be able to -ve them all!

I'm still mostly plodding on with 3x10 r20 sessions at the moment, so not posting them here.

There are 11 days remaining! 1 Superheros Dwayne K. Adams - 551,684 metres. Predicted - 855,110 metres 5 Heros Mike Channin - 479,105 metres. Predicted - 742,613 metres James Estes - 335,469 metres.

Here's hoping the aches and pains improve overnight Mike

ZoomErgos session with Matt Parish today. 4x8min 2:00r with various rating changes from 22-26. I find these video rows far easier to get through than a solo session.

I have gone for the 15-hours option but I don;t think I will get anywhere near it. I'm mixing up my training a lot more this year and so time on the ergo has dropped significantly. That's my excuse anyway.

The first 4k tell me there is definitely a chance of more opportunity Rob. Well done on closing the gap on last year's really strong performance.

Jon

It's an amazing challenge Mike. I can't even come close to imagining doing it. Fingers crossed you manage to keep going.

There are 22 days remaining! 0 Superheros Nobody here.........yet! 0 Heros Nobody here.........yet! 2 Members of the 200k meter club Dwayne K. Adams - 245,546 metres.

I was asked this a while back. The image seems to have been lost in the sands of time. I have a very small version which is available if you want it.

You are very welcome. As you, say everything helps, and hopefully being part of the team will help with motivation.

Oh my word Plummy. That all sounds extremely painful and very grim. I'm glad you could manage to give us an update, which I'm sure many of us appreciate. I know it doesn’t help at all, but I'm sure many of us are rooting for you as you go through all of this.

The Challenge Tracker is now up and running - https://www.freespiritsrowing.com/chall ... enge_teams

I misremembered yesterday. We actually finished 15th last year. I could have sworn we were 6th or 7th.

Jon

It's early days, but not the greatest of starts. We are 16th at the moment, compared to our normal position around the middle of the Top-10. Assuming some of our leading distance rowers sign up soon we should recover - at the moment we only have 3 of our top-10-by-distance members registered for the...

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240102/4160a3de8a3e18721ba55f66e29d5b39.jpg A “hard but not max” RowAlong session for me today. 5x6mins each split 3/2/1min at r20/24/28. The idea is to do the r20 at UT pace and build from there. 30 mins goes quickly with this one. Jon Sent from my iPhone using T...

Fred, I've just realised that the CTC tool refreshes itself at the start of each year. If you need the December scores then you can look here -> December 2023 Points

[...]That messed up my rhythm and the screen showed 21 strokes for that so I started again (looking back afterwards it corrected itself to 20 so I could have gone on!) This also happened to me. Warning to all ErgZone users: You may see 20(+1) as your rating at the end of an interval. This may then ...
