You can get at the graph at any time by using the Nonathlon Analyser and clicking on your user name. Have you done the Nonathlon before? I notice the tool doesn't think so. If you have done it using a different user name then let me know and I can add old names to your scores automatically. Thanks ...

JonT wrote: ↑Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:15 pmWell done Ron. Looking at your scores this season, it's pretty clear which end of the sprint v slog-it-out end of the spectrum you prefer!

Oh my! That IS very telling! Cool graph though!

Finally entered my last remaining event score today with the CTC's 500M sprint (I don't think I'll ever do a Full Marathon). Moved me up to #54 with a total score of 7716. Obviously, this is subject to any improvements I might make in the next 4 months...

Even after that hurtful 500M sprint for the CTC, I managed a decent 2nd attempt at this month's 5K with a 19:42.6 - just a few seconds away from my PB.

omg, I hate sprinting...

Goal was just to see if I could do a sub 1:40; managed a 1:38.7

Checking it off, no redo...

btw, almost have a 5th boat afloat if we get one more female to make an attempt.

Well, it was yesterday, but I'm just getting around to posting. Had a nice 7500+ 30 minutes row (sub 2:00 is always a bonus) followed by: - 2 sets 20 Push-ups - 1 set 100 Crunches (30 regular, 40 elbow-to-opposite-knee, 30 regular) - 1 set 30 straight-leg leg lifts - 2 sets x8 1-hand dumbbell curls ...

Sorry, wasn't trying to bring anybody down - I'm at peace with what's happened. I'm just trying to hold myself accountable and honor Mom at the same time... But thank you guys, for the thoughts. She was a sweet woman and led a longish, mostly-wonderful life of 80 years.

You don't find that kind of diligence everywhere these days... Thanks, Jon!

I dedicate today's row to my beautiful mother who we laid to rest in a touching, bittersweet celebration of her life yesterday. I had missed several days of the Holiday Challenge after mom fell ill on 11/26, so I was losing ground on my stretch goal of 200K for the challenge. Today I decided to do a...

Not sure if there's another Ron, but for the record, I haven't hit 200K yet. Still my stretch goal, but not there yet.

Ian, you may want to have your exercise machine exorcised! :D As I related in an earlier post, my stretch goal for the Holiday Challenge was 200K completed while rowing 10K's this month to try to nab my 10K PB by the end. Happy to report that despite missing multiple days of rowing that I'd not plan...

Halfway through my 10K, I noticed that my 5K time was a mirror of itself (19:59.1), so I went ahead and recorded it for the IRL - hopefully just a placeholder. Mom went into the hospital on 11/26, passed on 12/14 and her funeral is Wednesday, so I've been stretched pretty thin for awhile as healthca...

Much respect to you folks that manage to maintain a formal training plan. Though mostly lurking, I find this thread fascinating with so many of your collective accomplishments. That said, I am and likely always will be "The man with no (formal training) plan". My number one goal with rowin...

Hopefully you can see lots of bones. If not, let me know.

Oops!

May just be me, but it looks like a bunch of Skeleton Crew icons dropped off the meterboard since last I looked. I only see one (Collette L-L) right now in the top 50 rowers.

Finally took a stab at this yesterday. It was miserable! Decent time on the 2K despite a brief HD, then each segment after that at a higher pace than the 2K; even the 500M... Ah well, at least I got an entry in... lol

Total respect, Mike, but no f'in' way for me!

Had another go at this month's row today after a less-than-impressive first attempt. It went better. I narrowly missed a 5K PB (less than 3 seconds), but did manage a new 6K PB by about 7 seconds!

Approximately a 27 second improvement for a 24:50.4

Impressive, Ian. Absolutely f'ing bonkers, but impressive...

This thread makes me smile! Congrats to you, Pepe & duffyoz! Outstanding!

Finally got around to trying this again after my odd first attempt... ;) I thought I'd try a negative split of 1:58, 1:57, 1:56 and see how it went. So instead, I did a mixed split of 1:57, 1:56, 1:58... :D :fsbgrin: So much for planning and execution... End result was the same, and I was happy with...

Heh - I generally don't recommend that path! But congrats on the new PB!

Don't feel bad, Jon - I, for one, appreciate the "nags"...

I was pretty sure you were correct, Paul, but per Dave's post above, I Googled the lyrics and confirmed that yes, you are correct and have the next go!
