Re: January ctc - 6k TT
Mentally tired, physically tired all the time (there's a lot going on at chez Plummy at the moment) but managed to fight off enough HD demons to complete an early entry - 25:31.7. Nothing left in the tank after that.

43Mm metres rowed. Re-setting the bar much lower now. Getting too old and brittle for this malarky

Re: January ctc - 6k TT
Sorry to hear things are a bit challenging at the moment Plummy. All the more reason to congratulate you on putting in an early time

Re: January ctc - 6k TT
Hope you recover well...I had also these demons...I was not 100% fresh...managed the desired pb with all splits sub 1:45...so I am happy with that result.plummy wrote:Mentally tired, physically tired all the time (there's a lot going on at chez Plummy at the moment) but managed to fight off enough HD demons to complete an early entry - 25:31.7.

Well done Plummy on getting through that one
Wow - looks like you banished those demons good and proper - fantastic result

Re: January ctc - 6k TT
I was aiming for a 1:58 pace, but things went easier then expected. Finished in 23:18.4 which is, I noticed afterwards, 0.6 seconds faster then Tako. Looks like you have to give it another go, Tako.

Re: January ctc - 6k TT
Nice score Fred and nice try , but not sure I will go again. Will have to see what my coach thinks about it when I am feeling better, but for now it is recovery time.
Re: January ctc - 6k TT
First successful attempt at this months challenge, 27:43.4
It hurt, the demons came out to play at around 3.5k, but that was 700m later than during my first (failed) attempt.

Re: January ctc - 6k TT
My Pete has just done his entry, his first row in a long time
I have posted a very slow time as I have an injured toe as well as my other longstanding health issues but at least weve taken part and its got me to my 4 million season meters nonetheless and also our contributions to the team total for the virtual team challenge
We will try and better our times soon

Re: January ctc - 6k TT
Congratulations Carole!
All scores count, slow or fast!
However, completing 4MM for the season already in January with health issues is incredible!!
Really impressive!!!

Re: January ctc - 6k TT
I've gradually built up over the last 2 weeks from the 1k I managed at the end of December to my longest post-op row to date
6k - 23:18.7
It got a bit sticky at around 4k when I HD'd, but picked up again to get to the end
Really pleased in just managing the whole 6k today, and hoping to improve on this over the remaining 2 weeks

Good job Mat! Awesome to see you making such great progress.
Put in a time for the ladies to tilt at today: 26:07.5. Briefly in boat I. Don't expect to stay there!

Re: January ctc - 6k TT
Well done all!
I am still not in the mood for entry into the “pain cave” but had another go aiming for 2:03 pace after my last effort at 2:05.
Pleased that I did better than planned. Sobering that this is slower than Mat who is recovering from hip surgery though

Re: January ctc - 6k TT
I put my first time in on January 1 and was please to occupy Boat 1 for a week or so until I was appropriately booted by you faster gentlemen. It took no time at all to fall through Boat 2 to Boat 3, but today, I gave it another shot and eked my way back onto Boat 2 for now with a 24:33 (2:02.8 pace).
I think it's helped that I picked up the two Concept 2 January challenges (team and individual) and have actually taken them to heart this time. I've not missed a day's rowing other than 1/6 where I was feeling kind of crappy after getting my Booster on 1/5.
I'm hoping by the end of the month to compete with the group bunched up at just under the 2:00 pace!
