Re: About slides

In the earlier days of ctc there was discussion almost every month. These endless discussion could seem pretty tiresome. Paul Buchanan (Butch) often participated in the discussions, and to his merit he made the guidelines for entries on the ctc site. I totally understand that a new discussion is &qu...

Re: July ctc - 10 x 199m / 1‘r

Did two back to back... 7:09.8 with slow constant rows for the rest minutes, 6:40.6 with a 55 second total pause and 5 second restart. I guess it's ok, maybe will be good enough for boat 2 :) Well done :!: Did a tester yesterday 6:28.2. As always I rest in the rest periods, and do the flying starts...

Re: About slides

As I understood the discussion it accepts the current rules, but some people want to change them. As I see the rules they are not written in stone, so I welcome a discussion of them.

Re: June CTC: 5k

I had said to myself to reach the 3k mark at 1:58 split, I think what I really meant was 1:59... :oops: But nevertheless - I did the first 3k at split of 1:58.0. End result was 19:45.4, my fastest 5k since my big CA 4 years ago.

Re: June CTC: 5k

I posted my "starter for 10" this morning with 18:21.4 and I hope to give this another shot each week this month. Almost a decade ago, I knew that I'd hit "peak" rowing fitness when I could go sub 17' for the 5k. This month my challenge is to get as close to 18' as I can and the...

My last two attempts were 2:53.5 and 2:53.0... I don´t seem to have stamina in the last reps to threaten Mat´s time... So close - yet still so far... :fswink:

Really strong result, Claudius - and even more so for a lightweight :!: ^O^ ^O^ ^O^

And awesome technique on slides - I guess most ergers would bounce against the limits of the slides at stroke rates +50... =D> =D> =D>

Re: May CTC - 10x100m / 1´ rest

Sprint work is not my thing. Since my best 100m is 19.2 I'm quite happy to only do this once for a time of 3.18.2 av pace 1.39.1. Everything 20 and under, not in order but 4 at 20.0, 4 at 19.8 and 2 at 19.4. Awful thing to have to do. :) Very respectable, well done :!: =D> =D> That’s a great video....

Re: May CTC - 10x100m / 1´ rest

That’s a great video. What was the format of the event? Sorry for adding, Jon, but maybe you were expecting an answer something like: Each team consists of 4 ergers rowing a total of 3000m, with no restrictions on the length or numbers of the changeovers, and on top of that 2 helpers are allowed to...

Thanks again, Mat, for posting that link :!: Yes, I must admit it is very enjoyable to watch, and I could spot a lot of details I had not noticed before...

Had first go yesterday. First two reps were 18.2 and the slowest, and last two reps were 17.6 and the fastest... Total time 2:59.1... Expect to go faster later this month...
