First time back to rowing in months due to back issues and then being back in Michigan for summer away from rower. It's not fast, but it floated a boat :). Janet

Well, that was a short lived return to the erg...had an unfortunate fall on our boat today while fishing and broke 3 ribs. Glad I got the boat afloat when I did! See you back hopefully in a couple months.

Oh no Janet. I hope you heal quickly!

Well done all for some great rowing in this deceptively nasty challenge =D> =D> Extra credits to Claudius for an eye-watering row and to Jon whose pain I'm sure we all felt when he reported that his monitor crashed #-o

I'd originally planned to have another shot at this one after taking a couple of weeks off the erg mid-month to take part in an ultra-marathon (running, not erging!). Unfortunately I haven't quite got back into the 3 erg sessions pw that I'd promised myself. I did sit down a couple of days ago to have another bash, but I HD'd just after starting the warm up and went for a run instead!

So, best of luck to all those going for one more attempt at this one :twisted:

I'd hoped that this would be the end of my brief foray into fast stuff for a while... now I've just seen the Dec challenge #-o I've a feeling I'll have to try to rate higher than 30 for that one :?

Hope to see you back as soon as possible, must be quite painful :shock:

With 13 meters behind boat 2 I thought I might try this one one more time. Would approximately three meters per rep more be possible?
Turned out it was, 2614 m in stead of the 2580 m I rowed the first time. Resp. 13, 6, 7, 8 and 0 meters more. Pretty satisfied with the result, and Crushy or Peter, I'm not going for another one, so when you better my result you don't have to fear me :fswink:

Let's see what the 813 m of December will bring.

I also had a go at this today. Just about managed to average sub 2:00 pace - 2277m in total. Now sitting ashore in boat VI with 3 others unless one of our female members comes along to rescue us. The lovely Jennifer is unfortunately injured and unable to participate.
