Haven't been erging much in June - went over the handlebars while zooming down a hill near the end of May. Nothing broken but managed to tweak my back (apparently going from 27 kph to 0 kph in 1 second is a bit jarring on the body). Was taking it easy for a few weeks and started back on the erg mid...

Martin, go to training subforum, subcategory=competition, Cross Team Challenge—Discussion Thread. Request password reset from Dougie (AKA Citroen).

Two things. 1. I think Penny Glew, lightweight female, made a wee error in entering her CTC time. Might be worth checking it out and correcting it. Good to have her floating a boat though. 2. Holy Guacamole Batman! Elizabeth is totally killing it! Fantastic 5K to go along with the rest of her fine ...

Don’t feed the blamoloser and it will go away.

Fingers crossed for a full recovery, Linda.

For those who missed it on the Endurance rowing thread , Elizabeth had a fun weekend knocking out a 100km in a blistering 7:42:33! As someone who hasn't made it past a marathon on the erg, and can still remember how rough those felt, I continue to be in awe of anyone who gets to that milestone. Wel...

Super endurance effort, Elizabeth How does Paul Smith’s Law stand up to the scale of this marathon x 2 doubling and change?

Short thread with linked demo video on race starts. Has been up since 7 May but still relevant to execution of the current CTC HIIT challenge as well to 2k comps at live venues.

Knew a roadie back a ways. Rode a Serrotta Colorado TI. Obsessed about his ‘Q-factor.’ One sick puppy.

Yes, buns, bums, butts, bottoms, keesters, derrieres, what have you. NonAthlon was ‘fun’ the one year I managed to check all the boxes. (HInt: 100 points for full marathon can really dress up an otherwise weakfish score.) And Flyers turn to concoct the bitter pill for August CTC as per Joe Heaton in...

Gotta tell ya, Dave, been several years since I could happily produce even 27 spm for anything like 3’. My rate 30 thrash almost didn’t happen. I don’t recall deploying more than back and arms @ 33. The wheelhouse telegraph sez more turns but the engine room sez un-uh. That minute rest is absolute b...

Elizabeth writes: . . . and the only real difference seemed to be the exact timing the catch and drive, in relation to the end of the rest period. Nothing wrong with either your means of expression or your powers of observation. Some stuff to consider: 1) the sensor records acceleration of flywheel ...

Addendum to post preceding this: Should have made clear that half, 3/4, full is for race start or first rep in HIIT.

Awesome work, Anna! Hopefully we can get another female to launch another boat. I saw that next month's challenge is up: 10 x 100m / 1 minute rest Standing start first rep. Subsequent reps as you like. I like to sit there gasping and then lightly row until the next interval. Does anyone know if the...
