Re: What do you *watch* when you are rowing?

I've started 'Millennium' again. Loved it and was so pee'd off when they canned it before the actual Millennium!!

I use headphones that have a very long lead and also have subtitles on to help

Re: No thumb = no rowing!

3 weeks today and it's making very good progress. It's still an 'open wound' but I'm getting the dressing changed every 3 days and it's looking a hellva lot better. Looking at the progress so far I'm a little optimistic that I might be able to get back on the rower before the end of the year? ha ha ...

No thumb = no rowing!

Well not quite no thumb! Took a big chunk of my thumb off with a chop saw this morning. Bloody typical just as I'm getting back and enjoying my rowing.
Broke the bone as well so think gonna be out for quite a while, proper pee'd off.

Re: November CTC, 12 minutes

Well had a go at this tonight. Pacing went to hell! Wasn't really sure how to pace this so set out with the pace boat at a very optimistic 1:45. Went charging out at a 1:41 and had to slow down to 1:45 (felt rather pleased with myself at this point!!) Shortly after this however it started going sout...

Re: Meter board banter

Couple of gentle rows finally gets me moving on the board. More the point Shona (my daughter) was only 40k behind me at one point!

Now I can (and more than likely) will be beaten on the board by many of you guys but my own daughter!!! Nah that's not gonna happen (well at least this year!!)

Re: Meter board banter

Been out for a while, after my not so near miss on my 5k over a week ago I did something to my back - to be fair could have been the weights after but either way it went (not even a good bye!) Done a few [light] weight sessions over the last couple of days and all seems well, so hoping to get back ...

Re: Lifetime Millionaires Club

I haven't seen an update announced for a new lifetime million marker for some time. Is that just the way it is or are people too shy to announce?
