Re: January ctc - 6x250m / 1‘r / 20spm / slowest to count

There is all kinds of discussion and general grumpiness about this on the C2 Forum thread. I wouldn't be surprised if some additional detail is added or the challenge is tweaked. As Peter points out with the current definition the winning (if crooked) strategy is to row every rep except your second ...

Re: December ctc - 2963m / 5‘r / 2185m

That sounds a bit scary Mat! Glad to hear you have recovered and the return to the event wasn't quite as dramatic. If I'm honest, my days of pushing myself to the extent when I have wondered whether I was putting myself in danger have passed. I still go hard, but not in the crazy ways I used to. Kee...

Re: Pick Your Charity!

I don't know if I'll be able to muster up the 100K required meters to trigger a donation, but I'm going to try. Been suffering some unexpected health issues that have definitely slowed me down. Almost as if to disprove my November 23, 2023 self, I managed to cross the 200K line today! Well done Ron...

Re: Free Spirits CTC Participation and Leaderboard

After rowing last month's challenge, The Argentinian, I've been to Argentina (and Chile), returned last weekend and now entered November's results. Two completely new starters: B Gahn and Paul Corrigan, welcome both. And good to see Gouldilocks back on the board. Unfortunately no entry from Lesley,...

Re: December ctc - 2963m / 5‘r / 2185m

Well I have been away from any form of exercise, struck down by a nasty bug which I suspect was COVID. I'm making a steady, slow return and have posted a time just to make up the numbers. Not sure I will be willing to push myself ahead of the end of the month if I continue to feel the way I do. Well...

Re: Strength training(on and off the erg)

There are a lot of different approaches and the biggest thing is that any exercise is better than no exercise so well done to everyone .

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?

Well done all. Nice to see this thread is still alive and kicking. My training has been very poor lately and so I have not been posting here. I just haven't really felt the drive and there has been a lot of distraction at home and work. Basically I have just been doing a bunch of sessions 3x10min r2...

Past the half way mark. We are holding on to 5th. FIRT are now behind us, but we have a solid 850k lead over them. If we keep this up we should hold on to 5th, but they are definitely accelerating (hint!). Well done to Dwayne for making it into the Superhero category. Well done to everyone for putti...
