So, now Rodger left and Barbara jumped in but did not row until now. And what about Calalli and Fred who did row and Seb and Kirstin who didn't? :? Even if this is a long time commitment, a zero in the 1st month isn't a promising start without some form of heads up "I'm in but got a thing to so...

That's a adjusted 1264m
Will try another one at Saturday

Thanks!
It was: 3 weeks off + 3 weeks build up.
After the 3 weeks off, rowing for an hour was really painful, so I needed a bit to get going again.

A bit late but after 3 weeks with no Erg due to injury and vacation I had to build up again.
CTC done IRL to come.

Thanks for setting up a new thread!

I updated my team affiliation added me to the 8on8 team ... I hope that's ok

regards
Ralf

Thanks guys!

I have to skip the CTC even if it is that short. I admit I did not like this months CTC but not doing it feels worse.

I had an accident last Thursday with the bike, and suffered a contusion, the neck is still sore and I should not row until the end of the month.

Sorry
Ralf

Last post from the 5th of May 17! Sorry that I missed this thread, and a late congrats to your 10k PB Draggon! Ok since then [1] I did 4 PBs \o/ 42,195m 2:47:51.9 1:59.3 05/06/17 30:00.0 8,494m 1:45.9 07/29/17 10,000m 35:59.5 1:47.9 07/30/17 6,000m 21:02.2 1:45.1 08/07/17 Ralf [1] Before May, I had ...

Uhh!

No, I haven't seen the other thread, Peter. Will use the search funktion.

Hurray for your 6k SB!

Long distance is a personal thing as is fast speed :) Start with maybe 45 minutes and check your HR, if you can hold a pace you like (wether this is 1:55 or 2:25 is up to you) and can stay in UT2 go up with the time. By the time you do HMs you are investing serious time in you workouts per session s...

Welcome! When it comes to Spits, most people prefer negative splits, which means that you start a bit slower than what you plan to achieve as an average and then get faster every 500m. I for one start fast and slow down after 1/3 or 1/2 distance. Both tactics are IMHO mostly psychological, because w...

Congrats to the last single digit million!

Congrats David!

I beat my 6k PB today as well, 10.7s better that in Jan 2015.
But I guess that's it for now, the 5k and 1h are harder, and I'm happy now. 4 PBs was not what I expected while preping for the "turn of the Seassons" FMs and the TdE.

Predictor told me to pull a 1:47.5 for a 10k but I could only manage a 1:47.9
But 35:59.5 is a PB anyhow by 18.9s. DF 160 \o/

thanks, the omniscient predictor says I have to do 10k and 6k as well

That or the high DF, low HR long distance workout I did before.

warm up well before, in case the sprints push you more than what's good for your back

Today I smashed my 30' PB which I rowed in a race in Starnberg during the 2013 Season. 8494m that's 88m more than then. \o/

Took Morten as a example for the pace and risked a strong start. Quite exhausting after all the long distance rowing

Hello, I'm happy in the moment, before May I was building up for the "traditional" end of season FM and did not care about weight. After my early season FM, I started trying to get back on my target weight, I was lucky to hit my target end of June (before the TdE) and it was quite stable t...

Thanks Guys! Here comes my TdE-Conclusion Untill now this is the season with the most rowed meters for me, after 3 month I'm halfway through the distance I have done last year. Coming from the early FM PB in May, staring with high DF and more long distance rows for weight loss and as prep for the Td...

Done !!!

late posting again, I get a bit reluctant again but I got only one row ahead It might be expected ...
positive splitting FTW

Will row the last now .. and get over it

late posting I'm really no negative splitter, even "even-splitts" are a pain for me.
Start fresh and ease it of to the finsh! Sure you can't go all out on the start but that is not the point.
Mentally, positive splitting is easy for me.

2 more \o/

Paul, I will definitely not row it alone, this time I had Malwina from C2TweetCrew to push me.
The 15th row had the same distance, could chop of a big 0.5s chunk from the pace
Only 3 rows left \o/
