Congratulations Carole.

Jon, Not sure how many members you have for the team, and I’m very late to the party, but am happy to join in if there’s a space. I’ve registered on the IRL website and will post a 4 min row in the next couple of days so I’m ready if required. Rich, can you join please? We are one short. You just n...

It’s probably better if I drop out. Back problems not getting any better and I have not been near an erg this month. I went onto the website just now, but there doesn’t seem to be an option to withdraw from an 8x8 team. Is there someone we can contact to arrange for me to be taken off the team? I’m...

Thanks Louise. That’s boosted us up the rankings a lot

I'm here Jon 👋👋 Can I just log in the same as last season ?? Deep into a strength programme. Haven't been keeping up with my Concept log 😔 Kevin, you can login using the same profile as last year, then edit your profile and set your team to Free Spirits. You should then show as a team member if you...

After a couple of weeks off the ergo, struggling with my back, I have put in a token score. We still only have 7 registered rowers, and now have 5 registered scores: Philip Price - aboard and rowed Peter Weiss - ?? Kevin Horner - ?? Mat Leonard - aboard and rowed Louise Allcock - aboard Jon Taylor -...

Only just seen this, and happy to help if you're in need of a rower. I think the team looks full already, though, so no worries if that's true. In theory we have a full team Mike. Having said that only seven people have registered with the team so far on the website, and just four have posted an en...

.....and here is how we currently stand. s you can see, we seem to have got off to a fairly slow start, rowing about half the average daily meters as we did last year, but it's early days and some people enter meters in a fairly "lumpy" way which means there may be some catch-up in the pip...

The challenge analyser is now up and running. I want to make a few tweaks to make future challenges easier to set up, but it should all be working -> https://freespiritsrowing.com/challenge ... enge_teams

Just a reminder that the Fall Team Challenge is up and running. You need to join the challenge on the team page for any meters to count towards our totals. The Meterboard icon is up and running and I hope to get the normal challenge analyser working later today. Row strong and long! Jon P.S. I am a ...

No problem Richard. Glad we sorted it out. As ever I learned something about how the meterboard works at the same time.

Don't know why but I seem to have dropped off the meterboard completely. I know I haven't rowed much this year but to expunge me completely seems a little harsh :lol: :lol: :lol: Richard, you appear not to be affiliated to Free Spirits -> https://log.concept2.com/affiliation/1397/season/2022?type=r...

Don't know why but I seem to have dropped off the meterboard completely. I know I haven't rowed much this year but to expunge me complety seems a little harsh :lol: :lol: :lol: I’ll take a look this weekend Richard. Update - the good news is you are in the database, positioned 149th with 60,165m. T...

Like Someone in Love by Bjork has always blown me away - it quite frequently reduces me to tears! Original recording was Bing Crosby I think, but there have been hundreds, and no doubt there will be hundreds more. The rumour is she recorded it staning in the middle of a street. I assume the harpist ...

Hello Charon and welcome to the group. It looks like the group has been quite quiet since your original post. It's great to hear how enthusiastic you are right at the start of your rowing adventure. It's very difficult to judge your time because, as you imply, most people who row seriously, includin...

Odd one for me today. I did a RowAlong “recovery” row which was 35mins @ 2k+18. I normally use HR zones for recovery rows and stay on UT2. This one took me deep into UT2 and was probably +2 or 3 higher than my normal recovery pace. I certainly felt less recovered at the end of it. Any thoughts? http...

Just a quick question... Is it usual for there to be a delay between uploading results and seeing them appear on the rankings? I've input my result a couple of times this morning but it still doesn't show. I did have problems registering initially (seemed to go through but then didn't let me sign i...

Well done all for keeping this thread, and your training going. I have been doing steady sessions at r22-22 and so had nothing to report really. Today I tried the RowAlong 40min push pace row from the 10K plan.....with some trepidation. This is 10x4min starting at r18 and 2K+25 pace. The pace increa...

Oh no! Get well soon Fred and thanks for keeping this updated.

Thanks Roger. Just double checking. Paul you are in and we have a full boat [emoji846]

Thanks Plummy, I’m glad you’re in. So we just need an agreement between Paul or Roger. Everyone else can register and row.

Thanks to all who have offered to participate. I have worked with Sebastian and the Free Spirits team is cleared out and ready to go. Just log in to IRL, select “Your Profile” and then select “Free Spirits” as you 8 on 8 team name. You need to do this, and enter a result(!) before the end of the mon...

I have asked Sebastien (who runs the league) to clear out the original Free Spirits team in the competition. We can then go back to using that. The event has started now, but we still have until then end of the month to register team members and for people to register a distance for the 4 minute eve...

Doh! This one crept up on me and I missed a gold star. Just a plain star for me please Plummy.

Well done all that completed the challenge. The icons are refreshed and we have 44 Free Spirits who have completed the 100K and 1 who completed the 50K.
