Re: Carole McNally CTC - 1402m
Thank you Felton and well done.
I wasn't able to take part in last year's CTC but after doing today's 7.14.8 I looked at my 2016 time to see how much I had improved ... And immediately wished that I hadn't ... 6.35.7. It's made me realise how much I have let things drift.

Two boats afloat by now. I managed a 5:00.9. Had I known I was that close to a rounded figure I had gone for that, but it was to dark to see my PM3.

Targeted Fred's time since we are close in the monthly ctc. Sat on 1:48-1:49 the 1st 1000m then an all-out sprint the last 400m got me to 5:00.8 /1:47.3

Re: Carole McNally CTC - 1402m
3 boats a float
3 in the top 5
And me in front (not often I am ahead of Felton and Claudius) Must be dreaming
Guess it will look different at the end of the day!
Great efforts anyone!

Re: Carole McNally CTC - 1402m
5:16.8 @ 1:52.9 for me - a bit slower than my recent 1k/2k rows (allowing for Paul's Law adjustment), but I'm currently not really up to doing flat out rows two days in a row. My back tends to act up if I do any sprinting and I've had a few shoulder twinges since I started rowing more regularly.

Re: Carole McNally CTC - 1402m
Back has been acting up a bit so I rowed a warmup at 1:54.8 and was set to use that. Stretched for a bit and decided to give it a full go. Had to lower the drag and up the rate a bit but got a decent score all things considered.

Re: Carole McNally CTC - 1402m
Nice effort Dan.
I had a go and was mostly happy with my time ( 5:11.6 ) but it did feel a lot harder than I thought it should have - maybe that's because it was a single "fast" rep. My asymmetric technique was very prevalent tonight so maybe that was why. Had a bit of erg cough so knew I'd worked hard.
As I hadn't done many metres I plonked a 30 mins straight after for a sharp cool down. Started steady and wound it up steadily and finished with 7316m on knackered legs and lungs

Re: Carole McNally CTC - 1402m
Hi all! Nice job on the Carole Memorial! This one is problematic when it falls on a weekday - as it's tough for me to row it before 5 pm. I did cut out of work early and rowed it at 4 pm, but when I refreshed the page, it was gone. So -- my request is in to the C2 forum. If they won't accommodate it, so be it. Cheers and hats off to Carole, with a respectful bow.

Re: Carole McNally CTC - 1402m
Great last minute effort Barbara!
Hopefully they will fix it so it gets the deserved credit; i.e. another boat afloat.

Re: Carole McNally CTC - 1402m
I am so sorry guys and guyesses this is the first time I have missed this tribute to the legendary Carole since 2010.
Our great team has always supported this so well over the years.
Came back from a 10 day cruise on Tuesday with a filthy cold, having only just got over a chest infection and heavy cold beforehand and completely forgot-would have done it if I had been compos mentis-apologies
