Re: Name that tune

In the mean time I discovered I was wrong, so it's up to the rest, since I discovered it playing the record while trying out a new turntable.

Re: Name that tune

As I mentioned quite some time ago, I sort of keep an eye on this thread.
And now, for once I definitely know the song, though I'm not 100% sure about the title.
I think it's Wham Rap or Wham's Rap though. With the band being quite obvious.

Re: January ctc - 6x250m / 1‘r / 20spm / slowest to count

Kind of challenged by Joe, who was 0.1 second faster, and considering I don't really dislike this one as well, also had another go. Slowest one this time was 54.5. Three times faster then 54 seconds, so who knows, maybe I'll try it again later this month. Good luck all. And no offense, Joe, when you...

I second that, it's not helping you a lot, but I certainly hope things will turn out all right.

Re: January ctc - 6x250m / 1‘r / 20spm / slowest to count

Surprised myself a bit with this one. Didn't want to row in vain, so I kept the rate lower then necessary for most of the row. Being able to keep those strokes as powerful as they were for 250 mtrs each rep, I didn't expect that to be possible. Anyway, it worked. By the way, the heart rate column (j...

I definitely agree with this. Hope you can be back soon, Dave. Very carefully in the beginning no doubt, but hopefully you won't be gone too long.

Thanks, Jon. That certainly helps a lot. And congratulations with rowing your 100th CTC ^O^ ^O^ And the winner is: no surprise of course, Matthew, congratulations. #2 and #3 remained the same, Lesley dropped a spot, but I am certain you'll do great in Prague, Lesley. Lots of success over there next ...

Re: December ctc - 2963m / 5‘r / 2185m

That was tough. Secretly had Peter's time in mind, but when I started the second rep I realized I probably wouldn't be able to hold that pace so I decided finishing was more important then beating Peter. And struggled a bit, but managed to beat Eric. Just. After my vacation spent the last week to ge...

Two completely new starters: B Gahn and Paul Corrigan, welcome both. And good to see Gouldilocks back on the board. Unfortunately no entry from Lesley, ...

Re: Free Spirits CTC Participation and Leaderboard

Quite an impressive score for boat 1 this month. It shook the top 3 a little bit up, with Lesley taking over the second spot. My guess at the moment is is that the 10K might no be that popular, however, it's a standard distance and the Holiday challenge is coming up, so it might surprise me. The Aar...

And again I missed a month, but the scores for August and September have been entered. Which didn't change that much in the overall standing. One reentering participant who had rowed several CTC's before 2013. Welcome back Odd Geir Aarrestad :fswink: Matthew still #1, somehow I think that won't chan...

My first row this season. Goal was to row just about a 1:55 pace, which worked allright, but I felt I hadn't been on my C2 for weeks. The overall fitness is still okay, but maybe with a bit more rowing hours I could wite down a better time. But I don't knwo really whether I have the time to climb on...

Re: End of Season

Great work you have done, Jon. A little patience, about a year, to check whether you've also fixed the May 1st issue :fswink:
Thanks for all the effort you've put into it.
