Re: September ctc - 8 x 2‘ / 2‘r
How does that compare to your 2K pace Ron? Sorry, Jon, but I'm not really sure. After several years of ignoring that row, I tried to do a "real" 2K a couple of weeks ago. I was intent on holding 1:50 throughout and managed to hold it until just after 750M... :D I haven't tried again since...

Re: September ctc - 8 x 2‘ / 2‘r
Ugh! and Oof! are my thoughts on this one.
Managed a 4373/1:49.8 on this one. The first two minute rest felt like way too much. The second and so on felt not nearly enough!!
Best split was the 2nd at 1:46.3; Worst was the seventh at 1:52.3. None were my idea of a good time!

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Thanks, gents. One thing I've come to realize is that I probably left a lot of accomplishments on the sidelines when I was younger as I never had time to keep up with everything at once. It's nice to be fit enough at my age to improve some of these numbers now that I have more time for my various in...

Damn, Claudius; that is crazy! I'm sorry to hear you were injured especially since you were supposed to be in a state of rest at the time! Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Racked up a couple more today... As usual, without any prior planning. I'm a bit weird in that I usually set and adjust my targets during the row rather than before. This month's IRL was a 4 minute row, so I knocked that out after a 1K warmup. In the process, I beat my prior best 1K (from six years ...

That's a lot to take, plummy! My condolences for the loss of your Dad. And belated condolences on the loss of Mum & brother, too... It may sound trite, but the best thing you can do to honor their lives is to continue to live your own best life, whatever that may entail. I hope your health scare...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
Did 30 miles on my mountain bike yesterday at my favorite local(ish) destination trail. I started off rather hot and had to back it way down at about the 1/2-way mark. Still ended up with an about average overall mph effort. If anyone's curiosity gets the better of them, you can Follow me on Strava ...

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Sat down to get a head-start on Week 4 of the Dog Days of Summer with a one-hour paddle. Half-way through, I realized I could up my pace a bit to threaten my SB. Turned into a PB even after starting my sprint a bit too early and having to HD very briefly at the 1:45 mark. Logical brain kicked in and...

Re: Dog Days of Summer
The Meterboard icons have been refreshed. Thanks, Jon! Steady, one hour for me today to get things rolling. I'm not sure how "I think I'll take a page out of Jon's book and just paddle an hour to get a head-start on week 4 of DDoS" turns into an Hour of Power PB, but here we are.... :lol:

Re: August ctc: Crazy Eights - Triple Crown
I had about 5K meters left to do for my weekly Dog Days target, so I decided to pop this CTC in there as part of it. After a 1K warmup, I was pleasantly surprised to surpass my 1:55 goal pace. Pretty consistent, though that third effort felt a lot harder than the other 2... :) Also interesting to se...

[*]Draggon (sorry I don't know your real name) Hey Jon - I'm Ron. (it's at the very bottom of my PB sig graphic) We should form a surf shop or something. (US-centric joke. "Ron-Jon Surf Shop" is a very popular beachy shop on the eastern seaboard and especially around the Florida coast)

I'll have a go if there's room. I seem to be rowing more regularly lately than I have in the nearly 11 years that I've owned my Model D... I think retiring must have cleared away some of the obstacles to being consistent that I used to face...
