Re: Targets for both end of this season and for next

Get to lightweight and stay there.

Stop taking long breaks between serious training.

Re: Help me find my rowjo

Thomas...hmm that could have been my post...except I have not done any cycling. Instead of my job it is my husband's...he will be in California for the next 4-5 months so I am wearing all the hats in the family at the moment. Motivation to row is somewhere around -10. I suggest starting small. Tell ...

Re: April CTC: 1 minute

Have not had much time for erging of late. Glad this was such a short one.

291m 1:43.1 faded a bit at the end and the SR dropped

I did prompt Claire to take a stab at this...but have not seen her post a result yet. This seems like it would be right up her alley as it is all about power.

Anyone had any PBs recently?

Set the df to 226, which is the best feel for me and set off without warming up. Ended up with a very slow first 12 min split and a hanging on for grim death last 12 min split. Grim death had me laughing! Sounds about right for a PB. Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing the properly warmed up...

Re: Meter board banter

Plummy that was intentional! You can go off people you know :twisted: I had intended it to be only one meter, but I was doing a 'Just Row' and it stopped a meter too far. You know if you had not said anything I would not have even been looking at the meterboard. But now it has become some sort of h...

In the absence of some muscular galley slave drum-master to keep me in time, I took the kids metronome outside and gave it a go. I enjoyed it, I'm still smiling, It's ok! I managed 6621m, not earth shattering, but a line in the sand. Heart rate was mid AT to mid TR, so a little room to improve, par...
