Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
More good training being posted.
No rowing for me this week but 19700m of swimming- probably one of my biggest weeks.
Did a 4000m session today - my longest for at least 3 years

Re: Anyone had any SEASON's bests recently?
Well done David - any time you can complete a 60 min then you have achieved something- to my mind it is the toughest ranking row from a mental and physical point of view

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
Nice to see this thread revived and to see so many good sessions posted. I have been easing my way back after summer(don't enjoy the heat, from a training point of view). On the rowing side I have reverted to my favoured high DF(340-370) andwas initially rating at around 24 spm to build up fitness. ...

Today's rows: 1. 5000m - 22:26.2 -...

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 an...

For myself, I am sick and tired of ' wokeness ' and anyone who takes offence at me calling myself a woman can take a running jump.🤬 Well said Jill - until I read your post I was thinking of identifying as a 12 year-old girl in order to have a go at the 2k record but I'm now re-considering :lol: :lo...

Thanks Carole. I tend to go with the next song I hear on the radio that I think might be well known - and this one is no different.. "You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin' And now someone else is getting all your best" These Boots are made for Walking - Nancy Sinatra
