good to see you're back Dino! Welcome back Dino Welcome back. Thanks guys! It was so much easier this time last year when I didnt know what I could do... now I know what I can, but can't! LOL... OTW yesterday 6km in a Quad-Scull on the river for a change. Boat club BBQ on an island in the middle of...

Back to it... well sort of. Been nursing injuries most of the summer so still taking it carefully. Managed to get out on the water few times in September but that door has shut now due to dark evenings... so it was to the boat club gym last night. After a warm up on the erg, then did assortment of c...

Trying to stop the rot... June, July and start of August have mostly been a write off due to injury :( have had done a few odd light sessions, but generally it been fairly crap and the highs of May are a distant memory... ...but have started back up with some gentle sessions. I had to admit to chiro...

Hi, I am planning on doing a long water race - about 50km. As it is the regatta season most of my training has been shorter pieces and short intervals on the machine but i have been doing some longer distances. Does anyone have any advice on training? Are you doing the Boston Rowing Marathon? Good ...

Did a 55 min steady state. 13.1K for avg pace of 2:05.8. Stroke rate 20. Any guidance what pace I should shoot for on long rows if my current 2K best is 7:01 min? I'm 37, 6 feet tall, and 215 lbs. I'm on a 2K program from rowingwod, but trying to supplement with some extra meters Hi.. by on long ro...

https://i.postimg.cc/sGpD0mnQ/20190731-070836.jpg Should have been a 10k for Team Oarsome monthly challenge but I went to the gym for a change of scenery and air con (which wasn't on) and I was struggling with breathing and digestion problems. Technically a bad session as it was a HD but it was a g...

FM on a whim!! Nice one :) Thankfully much cooler today too. I have been sort of avoiding even considering doing an FM recently so I had a 'moment' and resolved to get a grip, not least as two other rowers who haven't done an FM, or even close to it, completed theirs on Wednesday and Thursday night...

https://i.postimg.cc/JsqsqnZ3/20190727-131058.jpg FM done on a bit of a whim. Decided 48 hrs ago as someone I know is doing a charity challenge of 25 FMs in 25 days and this is his 24th day. It's been about 18 months since my last FM and it showed. Too many stops later on for stupid little irritati...

Register for the online logbook so you can keep track of all your rows. If more than just you using the erg, then get a USB stick each so you each record your own rows. You can then use the Concept2 utility to upload to the online logbook. Alternatively, if you do use the Ergdata app, this can uploa...

I share your frustration!! it's fairly soul destroying when you get to a good place on the erg to then have injury wipe it away. I have pretty much lost the whole of June and July and just when I thought starting to get back to building up the meters again, find myself at the chiropractors again tod...
