Hey Mardix, congratulations for your PBs. Did read (and understood fully) your post. Think, I can't express adequate how impressive your progress is. Well done. Kudos! Thank you, but I really don't see it as much of anything. It's been such slow progress with so many setbacks that I just can't see ...

After the 1402m row yesterday and the relatively fast pace that I set for myself, I decided to have a go at 500 and 1000 meters. I came in at 1:46 (30 spm) and 1:50 (28 spm), so things are definitely on the mend. I usually row at DF 100 but brought it up to 120 for these and it didn't feel half bad....

So this requires some drastic action...

...I need to become a lightweight female by next season.

Sidenote: Of course there's no need to do a single 6m workout, because when you really get addicted you'll see/track it way before. But in the case of any sort of "mistake", I would do the 6m session before my regular workout, upload first the 6m workout, make the screenshot and then uplo...

I got addicted to these nice polished golden stars. \:D/ https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-mUdw0-Cawi4/VN-HvHQ_mfI/AAAAAAAASVo/7T8iiZTe9O0/w258-h34-no/3MM__150214182740_.png So here's a huge dilemma for me. If for some reason I end up at 2,999,994, do I pull and log 6m? Just for the gold star? My ...

Real name: Ron Mardix

I'm thinkin' a gold name for the 100th

Actually, I should be up there as well with 2 stars - coming close to 3 MM

I would guess that either the app or the OS has a time out.

Thanks. I ran the test and my download speed was 6.09 Mbps, but my upload speed was only 0.35 Mbps. Would this explain the problems I had uploading the video and should I be getting on to my ISP to complain? They are supposed to be rolling out a super fast fibre optic service in the near future, bu...

When I tried to upload the video, I was connected to my home wifi. When I uploaded the video via WeTransfer, I was also connected to my home wifi and only 20% of the file had uploaded after about 40 minutes. I then went out to my home gym, which is just beyond range for my home wifi and the remaini...

Okay, so first attempt ended in 5:20 (1:54). I haven't rowed under 2:00 at any distance in a long time and I wasn't going to even attempt to do it this time - there's just something about a challenge that makes me throw caution to the wind, I suppose. Once started I decided to see if I could get to ...

Just a quick reminder that this takes place tomorrow in honour of the late Carole McNally, who was a larger than life character who broke a number of world records and had enormous enthusiasm for the sport. The challenge is a straight 1402m to be entered on the CTC website tomorrow.... Okay, so thi...

Muchos appreciated

I have also recently started to experiment with using wordpress which has some advantages (better editor, built in file and picture hosting, it's faster), and I would welcome any of you paying a visit and letting me know what you think. Here the link to my prototype wordpress site: https://quantifi...

Excellent, thanks greg, and thanks sander.

Yep, wanted to write Mardix an answer but Greg beat me to it. I have created a version that works with a Garmin Forerunner. Shoot me a PM if you want it. Hi Mardix!

If I may ask, how does one get the colored heart rate charts that I see people posting?

I just registered for 2015 on Nonathalon. How would I get onto this nice little list that you've created? That's great! If you let us know your nonathlon ID, Stan can add you to the list. Paul V Very cool, thank you. If by ID you mean my login ID it is "mardix" -- not sure if nonathalon h...

Came in at 4888 (2:03), but I didn't want to push too hard quite yet - I've been keeping things slow for such a long time that I was a little unsure about pace. My goal was 2:05 but my back felt good so I pushed a little more than I initially planned. After your initial introduction a very very res...

Belonging to Free Spirits has certainly helped me.

Thanks so much Jill. It's great meeting you.

Some feedback after 4 hours on slides… Slides are not that "sprinty", compared to the Dynamic, but definitely more "sprinty" than the stationary erg is. On the stationary I can't row with high SPM's (everything higher than 25-26 is horrible for me). On my one day intermezzo with...

If you value your back and you have the space for them (big footprint!), you should buy the slides. Great reply, thanks Greg. I'm not sure that I value my back, or at least, if I was to give it a value, it would be on a K-Mart blue light special (sorry, not sure that joke translates outside the U.S...
