Re: 2017 Weight Loss Thread

Congrats PaulV! Great effort!! I hope you can and will keep it below the 100! Good luck Mark! Sounds like you took some important steps! To me your goal sounds a bit too ambitious and maybe even unhealthy to loose 10kg in 2 months. Also as you will gain muscle from training. Slow and steady progress...

Very nice high average per participating FS. The FIRT are only in front as they are many more signed-up.

For my part it helps to be hunted by Paul and Patrick in the Meterboard :-)

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2017 / 2018

Couldn't enter my result to the IRL page. First it asked for only hours, then hours min sec, but no tens of a second. Then it crashed and has not come back. Probably thinks it ain't worth registering snail speed....

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2017 / 2018

After 30min (7200m) and a CD of 9min (2k) I thought I put in an easy marker to have a score in to aim at. Went better than expected, but still too slow: 5:53.4 @ 1:49.8

Go for it Dave! I am with you, except for this Lightweight stuff ;-) Happy to see that we have managed to establish a crew of ten to account for injuries, travel etc. Although struggling with the fact that my result (although having rowed the 3rd longest distance this month) will be one of the two n...

October ctc - 500m / 2'r / 1250m / 1'r / 250m, static starts

Inspired by Fred (dank je wel!) I thought I give it a first try today. So first warming up with a gentle 1k then a 30min row on RowPro with good company (7000m sharp). Then programmed this months challenge and this is how it went: 500m @ 1:50 1250m @ 1:49.8 250m @ 1:40.2 The last interval was a laug...

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2017 / 2018

Then I propose that those in contact with Sebastien ask to edit Kirsten's entry such that she is off the team as we have not heard from her nor did we see any score. That will free up one spot for the three mentioned. It is important to have 10 committed people during the IRL season due to injuries ...

Well, not sure they beat you to it. The list looks very much the same as the one from last season. Not sure all are in and committed again!

Hi Jan
I can no longer find the nice "unread" tab. Instead there are several views that look like it.
First when selecting forum and clicking in there I saw your reply. After reading it the post remains on top instead. Will have to get used to it I guess....

The new version of Tapatalk drives me crazy. The old one with its bugs was at least usable.

Are there any good alternatives to follow the forum on an iPhone?

Maybe one that also works with the Concept2 forum?

Re: Anyone had any SEASON's bests recently?

Great Peter! Happy to be of service :-)

Before my injury and while being on the PP for first time, I did a 6k PB in 22:23.6 @ 1:51.9 on August27. So Thanks for giving an incentive and rest assured, I will give it another try before the end of the month, but it will be tough :-)

Really great PBs Peter!!
Also good to read that you did not end the post with a statement that the result would force you to revisit another distance ;-)
Although Erik's and my effort for the C2CTC might force you to revisit your 6k ;-) ;-)

Yes, finally I convinced my better half to join the fun of indoor rowing. Although that also means that I will have to share the Erg ;-)

Not sure though why her meters don't show up on the Meterboard.
