Re: The Philip Price Challenge - Find the Torquemada

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I confess that I thought the name was a cunning play on Torque, as in turning force, as a reference to the flywheel of the beloved ergo - our choice of torture...

I'm currently keeping my old pal Philip company, before he blazes off into the upper reaches of the table.

Re: FMMC Closing

OK. So I had a look - it's a normalised competition that appears to have some correction factor for age (by categories), weight (at least category) and gender. Funnily enough, Alan Strang was running something on FS in 2012-3 called WAARC which was quite similar. And we were working on providing an ...

Re: FMMC Closing

Now I already knew that you are a glutton for punishment, Philip! ;-)
Maybe we could set up an equivalent FS Challenge if there is enough interest?

Re: The Philip Price Challenge - Find the Torquemada

I know. And quite probably impossible. I was just so surprised to hear such a weird coincidence when rowing.
I'm not even sure how easy it is if you do use Google.
Feel free to ignore. ;-)

The Philip Price Challenge - Find the Torquemada

So, as many of you know, Philip goes by the alias of Torquemada in some places (Nonathlon for example). Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to find a song with "Torquemada" in the lyrics. Preferably without just using Google. I'm raising this challenge having accidentally di...

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2021-22

I love the "It was actually the last 500m of a 60min"! =D> #-o Possibly not quite optimal... :D I think I was actually a bit quicker for the exact last 500m, but I only had 2min splits so had to use that as the nearest properly recorded value. I'd realised I was on for an SB, but only if ...

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2021-22

I've ended up putting in a weak time (1:47.5), but at least it was an entry (It was actually the last 500m of a 60min, but still the fastest continuous 500m I did this month) Early month was hayfever limited, and then was getting up to speed targeting a 1:30 500m, but disaster on the first attempt, ...

Re: World Erg Challenge

I'm over my bout of recent illness and back munching meters! (well, doing more distance/rowing than I was).
Hope you are back up to speed, Jon!

Is it possible to add a column for distance per rower and a sort that shows the teams ordered by that? Just curious

Re: March CTC - 30 minutes

It appears that there has been something of a data disaster on the CTC, and all the results prior to the last couple of days are missing. They're advising that people go back and re-enter their times for this month. (I suspect that they are also working on recovering the data, but it may take some t...
