May CTC - 10x100m / 1´ rest

May CTC notification from SkiErg.
A Sprinters Paradise:
Row it for your rowing club and/or ski it for the SkiErg team.
10 x 100m / 1 minute rest
Standing start first rep. Subsequent reps as you like.
Enjoy!


This shouldn´t be that demanding cardio wise...

Welcome back, Iain :!: :fssmile:

Yes, as you suggest some sort of short slide, and I would suggest not to worry about breathing - if possible... :idea:

This actually wasn´t as bad as I would have thought... Kind of fun to revisit the 33spm, though it required a lot of focus... 3855m... Think I will try this again later this month... :D

March CTC - 30 minutes

U Chicago Crew has chosen a thirty minutes row with no restrictions as the March CTC.

I guess this should appeal to many of our Free Spirtis... :fssmile: :fssmile:

Re: Free Spirits CTC Participation and Leaderboard

This month there is no excuse as the 6k is an excellent choice for a challenge. Everyone can do it. Either slow recovery (contributing to the VTC) or as TT trying to PB a ranking peace. My first attempt this month I HDed after 5300m, though, Tako... :oops: :roll: Would have been easier with a timed...

Re: October CTC - 12 minutes in pieces

To me the text on the c2ctc.com site is clear one the matter: Row six repetitions of 2 minutes with 1 minute rest. . So the strict interpretation is that the last interval should be followed by 1 minute rest. At least that is how I did the thing... But I won´t mind people doing it with only 5 rest p...
