Re: Hello from the other side!
Hi John I fully agree with Dave here. Great to see you in here once in a while! Just noticed your new team is just ahead of us in the team ranking ;-) Someone already mentioned your new competition in here, and I think it was in the indoor rowing league post as that one is history. But feel free to ...

BRIC 2023 Birmingham
BRIC 2023 has been announced! It will be in Birmingham this year, and fortunately they announced it much earlier than last year, so hopefully this year it will happen (after frustrating cancellation last year). Hope to see many of you there as I am signed up :-) https://www.britishrowing.org/events/...

Re: Free Spirits CTC Participation and Leaderboard
Thanks for the update Fred!
Just wanted to extend the welcome back to Brit as well.
My competitive nature is struggling with seeing me moving downwards on the table, but I know it is for the greater good [emoji41]
Prettige vakantie toegewenst!

Re: July CTC: 9 x 333 r1'
Thank you all for the contributions for the team!
Great to see Brit back with FS and thank you Jill, great to be in the same boat with you!
Is there maybe another lady out there that can help float the last boat? Would be great to leave no member on shore.

Re: July CTC: 9 x 333 r1'
This is one of the CTCs where I just put in a controlled effort to enter a score for the team, no full throttle. Happy with the numbers though. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230719/632c98cd796aebaec108af3046d0590f.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230719/b218ae0d2b884c02e388ae82008fddda.jpg

Hei Ron All available icons for the season are shown in the top right of the meterboard. You can hoover over them or tap them to see what they are for. For team challenges you can hoover/tab each one and see how much each individual has contributed with in meters. The ghost is for those that log int...

What are your priorities for 2023/4 Season
After struggling for 1,5 years I really hope that this season will be: - free from injury and illnesses - full of regular training - at least 3 PBs (hopefully doing a faster 2k than 6:37.5) - my first in person event (BRIC and/or WIRC Prag) - meet others in person - average of 5-6k a day - doing as ...

Re: May CTC: May the Phors be with You
Shouldn’t have done it according to my recovery plan but couldn’t get it out of my head. So I had a controlled go at it but reached anyway 95% max HR showing that I have still work to do to get closer to possible fitness. Sorry Fred, saw your entry when I entered mine. Pretty close! https://uploads....

Re: End of Season
Just a thought: I noticed that Mererboard2 (link on top of MB3) looks to handle the new season better, so you might want to have a look at the differences compared to MB3.

Strange way to celebrate koningsdag but then again you were so quick that it left you plenty of time to join the orange crowd for the rest of the day

Great effort Mat! [emoji123]
Regarding your comment:
Telling others that this is a tough one??? Where is the fun in that ??? [emoji41]
We want as many entries as possible, so we cannot scare people away from it.
After all, all scores count no matter the effort or result!

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
Wow, not sure I would attempt a 2k test after tough days. Hence being that close to PB ain’t bad. I would recommend next time to have a quick start (first 100-200 meter max), settle into a race pace (maybe 0.5sec slower than PB) and then if possible empty the tank in last 250, but people have differ...

Thank you Jon for the reply and your thoughts. The reason I proposed you as first Captain candidate is twofold; on one hand I think you would do a great job and on the other hand I think you should be the first to get the job if you wanted it. But of course I also think that it would be better if yo...

Hi [mention]Stan [/mention] Hopefully you are doing fine! Not sure about the health as you have less than 23k on the Meterboard for this season. According to the Meterboard icons you haven’t been on the forum, while looking at the Meterboard (no FS icon), so I am not sure you read this. Hopefully yo...

Thank you so much for your efforts!
Is there a way I can show you my gratitude (like sending money for a few pints or Easter [emoji214] eggs per PayPal)?
