Re: Indoor Rowers League 2017 / 2018
Entirely up to you! For comparison purposes, I did the challenge today and finished in 1:36.4. Unlike you, I got slower as I went along, although I did manage a slight final sprint which indicates that I too probably need to have another go! For the record, my splits were as follows:fkoene wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 11:03 amYou make it sound like I should have another go, grrrr...Paul Victory wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 10:16 am And it looks as if you had something left in the tank.

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2017 / 2018
I decided to have another go today, but at a higher DF - 160 instead of my usual 130 to 135. Big mistake! I got a twinge in my lower back around the 200m mark and stopped rowing a couple of strokes later. My back is now very sore and I'm self-medicating with Nurofen Plus and white wine before heading out to dinner. I hope I haven't done any serious damage.

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2017 / 2018
My entry was a bit lame - sorry. I'm chasing 2.5 million for the season and the 13 days off with no C2 impacted my potential total greatly so I'm doing more metres than average and having to row pretty much everyday for 10 days until Monday to hit my target. My 500 was done after 12km of rowing on my 5th or 6th consecutive day with no rest, so was a pretty fatigued effort.

Really out of shape at the moment and overweight (although maybe that extra mass helps this distance a little) but managed a respectable 1:32.6

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2017 / 2018
Well done all! We now have seven results, including a rather humble effort of mine:
All went well until 100m to go when I ran out power. Nevertheless that's a new SB by 0.4 seconds Might have another go over the weekend with a higher df.

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2017 / 2018
Be careful! I tried that a few days ago and nearly crocked my back. Thankfully, it was just temporary, but I'm going to be a lot more careful about increasing DF from now on.

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2017 / 2018
It's the final day of the season and also the final day of the IRL. As of now we have seven entries for the April 500m. If we could get an eight entry that would be great, it would help to make sure a spot in the top 10 of the team ranking

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2017 / 2018
Thanks to a last minute entry by Barbara we managed to secure ninth position in the team score. Well done team and let's see what the next IRL will provide us.

Thanks for all your encouragement Peter. Sorry to make you work so hard, however
Thanks also to everyone else participating. I never quite figured out that results web site but it's been fun
