January Virtual Challenge

Post by Stan »

Hi everyone.
The virtual team challenge begins on Jan 1st. I don't need to sign us up as its automatic, but all those taking part do need to sign up on the team page of their c2 logbook. I will send out a reminder.
I am planning to begin my comeback and hopefully the knee will not give up the ghost again as I believe its been rested enough. Well enough to be able to walk normally again at least and for it not to be in constant pain!

Thank you Stan - I hope that you will find that you are able to return to some gentle erging.

Please count me in as one who is ready for the off.

Well it's fair to say the Estonian's have got off to a flying start :shock:

Hi, I am a newbie but I have joined in on the virtual challenge........I think. I have registered on the C2 logbook and I have joined the freespirits team, I think that means I am in. I have looked at our rankings and we sit quite high up but we are slipping down the table each time I check. Is this challenge treated as a casual thing?

Sorry if this is a silly question.

My 2 pence:

1) I find these useful as extra spice to my personal distance objective for the month, as I'm sure others do. I'm not ultimately racing against anyone else being relatively new to this erging business too. And it's January, so any motivation helps ;)

2) I wouldn't necessarily read much into daily changes to rankings - lots of people upload weeks of rows at a time rather than after a session.
