Re: July ctc - 555m/111m/444m/777m/333m/222m/666m 70“r

My first attempt at this month's CTC, and it was hard ... Plan was to pace it somewhere in the 1:52 - 1:53 range, with the 111 and 222 all-out sprints, the 333, 444, 555 around 1:52 and the 666 and 777 around 1:55. All went fine until after the 777 which I probably overcooked a bit, the next 333 was...

Re: June ctc - 10k, no stroke rate restrictions

Very impressive rowing from everybody =D> =D> =D> This is a CTC where the risk of HD-ing seems larger than in most other ones ... I've had 3 attempts so far, and inspired by other people's results I tried to go at my PB pace (40:38.0) for all of them. That would get me into boat 4 (no way would I be...

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?

I'll have to thank Tako for this one :fsbgrin: After he threatened to overtake me in the Nonathlon I decided to go for a few easy points yesterday, trying to improve my 6k time to last year's SB. However with about 2k to go I noticed that the forecasted finish time was only a few seconds behind my P...

Re: June ctc - 10k, no stroke rate restrictions

I had a second attempt today, almost 2 sec/500m faster than last time: from 2:10.2 to 2:08.3 average. It won't trouble Jan (who is yet to post a score) but may spur Jon P to have another go. Great improvement Rodger, looks like you're getting to grips with the pacing for this one and there may be m...

Re: May ctc - 1k / 3'r / 992m, standing starts

There are not enough days left in the month for me to have another go. Go on and punish me then, so the lesson will stick. :twisted: Thanks Rodger, that was good to know - gave me a fixed target to beat :twisted: . It was quite muggy today, and combined with my earlier failures that didn't make me ...

Re: May ctc - 1k / 3'r / 992m, standing starts

Now there is nothing for me to do but wait and see if Jan and/or Jon are going to punish me for my mistake. If you're reading this: if you row faster, please make it under 1:53 pace. :P Well done Rodger (I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this again :shock:) I've had a couple of failed attempts ove...

It's great to see people helping each other to improve their times :D Today I had JonT to thank for finishing my CTC attempt (thanks Jon :fsbgrin:) My best 1k time from last year was at 1:52.9 pace, so I was aiming for something around 1:54 for this one (total time of 7:34). Things seemed to go well...
