Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
That's a great milestone, Shang-chi! Especially without sore back or buttocks.
And nice job, toughing the HM out, Mark. Especially with a hang-over!

Re: aaaayyyy! (a mother's lament)
Not just a mother's lament... it's true for us uncles too. I feel like my niece is but a phoenix. Each year she dies. But she is born anew and comes back to life more wonderful than I imagined. Such is life. Your kids are lucky to have such a warm, caring mother. ^O^ And trust me, they will continue...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
So... I tried my hand at a 1k last night. Based on other distances and paces, I thought I'd try SR26, 220W for a pace of around 1:58. But I have a really hard time settling down to a steady pace. I started off too fast, around 1:49... but felt really, really strong, so I decided to go with it. Then ...

Re: Free Spirits "Team" and Fall Challenge
I'm a little sleep deprived, myself, this morning, Christine. You made my eyes pop out of my head when I read your comment as, "I do have to stop to eat and bonk..."
I'm awake, now, though.

2nd shot at a 5K - 21:00.9 - PB by almost 11 secs... looks like further improvements are in the pike.

Re: September´s CTC: 10 x 1min / 1min rest
Thanks everybody! I'm really pleased with my progress. I've been exercising for 12 weeks (after 2 years of nothing) and I've been rowing for only 3 weeks! Most of my workouts are still at a UT2 pace while I work on form and build some basic strength. (Except for the ranking pieces, which I push much...

Re: Battery gone on PM4
I think if you've had back problems you should start out at a little slower pace... maybe a 5K in 14 min.

Curious as to proper etiquette. Do you all include meters rowed while warming up and down? Or just training/racing meters?

I've been playing around with RowPro, trying to figure out all the features. (And many thanks to all who recommended it!) I decided to try a 500m row - my first ever. Well, the first two times I crashed and would have drowned, but fortunately I was indoors at the time. :lol: That is a seriously brut...

Re: RowPro - What is it? and Why Should I Get It?
Thanks everybody! Those are all excellent answers. I can't wait to get my own copy. I'm worried about injuring my back by pushing too hard, so I need to wait a couple months while I focus on maintaining my form and building basic strength... but after that, I'm right in there with you all!

RowPro - What is it? and Why Should I Get It?
Christine mentioned RowPro to me. And Den-J was kind enough to upload a photo. I understand that you connect your PM to your computer via a USB cable, that your computer needs to have Internet access, and that you can row against other rowers... but that's it. How do you make sure you all start at t...

Again, thanks for the warm welcome. FYI, I added a quick bio on the "panel."
And thanks for the vote of confidence, plummy, but I think it will be a while before I make anybody's life more difficult.
