Thanks Flatlander and Stan - I think the body is capable but the mind is still scared re sub 7.
Other than acquiring a new blister, I actually enjoyed that set last night - slept REALLY well!

Thought I'd done a full set of Pete Plan short intervals but found that I'd bailed on th 4 x 1k the other week after hacking up a lung after the first one. Tried again tonight with interesting results.... 8 mins warmup - 1923m 1000 - 3:26.2 (1:43.1) - A PB!!!! (wasn't going for this initially - hurt...

2nd attempt today. Improved by 0.7 seconds to 47.0 - increased the damper to 7 (usually 5). My seat pad slipped at one point so 2 or 3 strokes were shuffling my backside about trying to re-seat it - I'll try it without the pad next time. Moved me up the board a little but no boat improvement - still...

Well done Stan - nice steady improvement. Looking good for Manchester Tried the hard 10k today and bailed at 6k (couda/shouda just backed off for 500 but as usual as it wasn't going to be a PB I handled down instead - prat that I am) Did a fast 250 as a punishment and improved by 0.7 seconds to 47.0...

Is there anyway we can set up some RowPro's on the forum here so maybe people can join in. I've had the software a month and not even used it yet. I'm not necessarily talking about races, maybe just training steady pace stuff (or Pete Plan stuff) Anyone out there fancy having a few goes as I really ...

I'm happy that my 14 year old daughter (Hayley Plumb) put in a score (2901m) for this month to float another boat. It was part of a deal to let her have extra doughnuts the day before. Unfortunately, it showed up how unfit she was and she ended up with her head down the toilet for a few minutes and ...

I can see the team status (we are 6th at the moment with a total of 81km with 7 members contributing) - Age Without Limits are at 286km in first place. I have just counted 45 FS'rs putting in metres today on the metreboard so something isn't right or there's stacks of us yet to get on this challenge...

This post could go in many places (CTC, Failed Workout, Pete Plan etc). I was trying for a 4 x 1k Pete Plan but went off too hard on the first without a proper warm up. Hung on to 3:27.7 which is a PB by 0.5 seconds Bailed on the next 3 x 1k as I thought I was going to hack up a lung. Pootled a 32 m...

I shall be having my annual one unit of alcohol tomorrow - hope it doesn't affect my weight too much. Obviously I'm such a LWT when it comes to the booze, I'll probably fall over, damage something then be off the erg for a month.

Wecome Dave! I joined Free Spirits at the start as I was like you - I had no variety to the rows so just climbed on and plonked out a few km - which was getting a bit stale.... Here I am 3.5 million metres later (ish) Now there's no end of challenges and variety. Everyday you could have a new target...

Didn't think I'd make it at one point but have just completed exactly 200k to the metre. I was trying for a 60 min PB but wimped out at 40 mins, looked at my required total and only needed another 6552m to complete it and get it out of the way - so climbed back on and rowed another 26 minutes Tired ...
