Re: Tour d' Estonie

It startet! The predictor gave me a 1:56.6 (+3s). TdE1.jpg I helped moving our boat-house in the morning and was happy that we finished way quicker than announced. Felt good at the start and had to step on the breaks, but ended with 1s faster than target pace, still. I will see if that will bite me ...

Yeah, 3.1s better over all, DF at a feasible 170, again with Metronome. I'm done with the CTC for this month.

This time I used a metronome app which made things a lot easier.

Re: Tour d' Estonie

Tapering week! Since beginning of April I started building long distance stamina to get a FM in at the last weekend of of last season, and did an early FM for this season at the beginning of May. From there I put in a lot of 1h and HM rows with steadily increasing DF (170-195) to prep for TdE. While...

Re: Anyone had any SEASON's bests recently?

Good Work David, fighting the HD demons!

I did a HM SB today, it got even better than the Pace predictor suggests since 3 weeks and I could drop the pace 0.1s below my 1h pace \o/
Now starts the last week before the TdE and I will take it easy.

Re: C2 Summer Solstice challenge 2017

Good idea with RowPro, but I can't make it, because I have to give my weekly rowing course today.
I will try to puzzle the 21k together from smaller pieces, hitting the gym a bit early today. At least that's the plan.

Tour d' Estonie

Hello Team! At the 1st of July the TdE will start again. It is organized by Sõudespinning, a gym in Estonia (if i got that right) and that is their Introductory blurb: "The Tour is open for everyone, who enjoys sports especially indoor rowing! Only thing you need to do is to row on Concept2 on ...

I used Firefox under Windows10, the code is still in the profile, but the flag does not change in any browser.

Re: Forum software now updated: Better mobile experience + emojis

Hello! I tried to change my national Flag to 666 or DNK but it doesn't show any difference in the Meter board. In the Signature I added the PB image with the Img tag, so I have to update the link each time when I add a SB, is this the intended way to do it? Even when I just joined free spirit, I use...

Re: Beginners

Thanks Ian and David!

I still think that the Waterrower is a good Machine, but the better comparability of the results makes me use the C2.

Ralf

Somehow my PB Sig picture isn't showing, do I have to adjust my Sig for it?

Re: Beginners

Hello, I'm new to the Team!

I came back to rowing with an Waterrower in 2010, rowed for C2TweetCrew since 2012, back on the water around the same time. Switched to a C2 at home in 2015.
Current goal: stabilising my weight at 104kg and preparing for the TdE in July.

regards
Ralf
