Re: January CTC: Double December
Early attempt, so early I can't even enter it yet. Season's best, 3:32.8, so the first Nonathlon points of 2023 are there as well.
Happy New rowing Year everybody

Re: January CTC: Double December
Yep, still hate sprinting. I felt like I was drowning with about 250m left, but managed to up the pace slightly in spite of it.
New PB time of 3:34.6
I’ll enter it later as the CTC site still hates this iPad.

A whisker outside a PB, but safely a SB as i avoid this kind of thing as far as possible...

Well done Ian. Spider is away skiing and I have the lurgy. So you may be waiting for a while, and I would be feeling pretty safe if I were you.

Re: January CTC: Double December
That was never going to be pretty given the last couple of weeks of feeling bad. But took one for the team and got a time in anyway.
EDIT - Actually I shoiuldn't beat myself up over this. This is my second highest Nonathlon score of the season and 104 Metanonathlon points, so a good improvement on last season somehow

Re: January CTC: Double December
Given what's you've mentioned elsewhere, that first 200m and holding on is very impressive, but understood about the cough!!!

Re: January CTC: Double December
Finally got around to doing this month's challenge. Decided to do it with a few days to go so that I might be able to have another go at it. Very underwhelming at 4:12.7, but at least it gives us 4 rowers in another boat. Now all we need is two females to float those boats!

Re: January CTC: Double December
Well done all - never a nice session and I put it off as long as I could!
It’s been a mixed month of training so far, and so I figured that I’d start at (estimated) 2k pace and hopefully get faster rather than my usual fly n die
Happy with the result and a pace of under 1:40

53, 6'2" and trying to get back to 95kg post hip replacement. Looking back fondly on past achievements I've no chance of repeating
