Ctc will a good bit slower. Think more just above 2k pace. 1 2 seconds.
Thanks Henry. When I was erging more and faster I would have know this and would have been able to advise others. "Use it or lose it," as they say.
we just gotta keep on trucking don,t we. At least you still train and pound for pound you still pull very respectable times. So all good!We spend our summers same way in that matter. Do you do races otw as well?ivan141 wrote:
Well, to be precise during the summer I rarely look at the erg, I spend my time on the water in just about every boatclass there is, though mostly 1X.
As long as there's no ice I row my weekends on water as well, I also count those km's.

For me this is absolutely the case. Started rowing on the erg summer 2012 and otw on april 2014. In march 2014 I pulled 6:51 on 2k. Was about the last time I went sub 7. Also had some other issues but main reason is rowing otw and focus on technique instead of stamina. But keep trying to do bothhjs wrote: The trouble with otw is that only when you have good enough technique you are able to train your fitness. Certainly a single is very much about technique. I get you like otw but its not a good tool for the erg.

Yes I participate in several regatta's throughout the year. This year I've done the Ganzeregatta, Markregatta, Tromp boatrace, Damen raceroei regatta, Lingebokaal and Proteus in 't lang.Rolf_Boers wrote:We spend our summers same way in that matter. Do you do races otw as well?
Thats the point, on the erg I beat you very easily. Lets say I start out otw, think you row circles around me. You need solid stable technique to get a decent training. As long as technique is not great, getting fitter doesn,t help you much. Simple becoming a better rower will help a lot more.ivan141 wrote:
About rowing on water re stamina: It all depends. Our weekly training day is usually between 8 to 12 kilometers, more technique focused, but you get tired none the less.
The difference with an erg is that the concentration it takes to row a 1x, 2- or 4+ tires you out much faster since your coping with all kinds of balance issues.
When I row the single or the double I can just go for a decent distance and pace, usually 10 to 12km's.
I was about 2k+2.5 on the ctc and didn't have a huge amount in reserve.Yankeerunner wrote: By the way, Fred noted that he might join Lindsay and Jack in the 60-64 Hwt race at CRASH-Bs since the deadline to enter has been extended. He's feeling better about his erging than he was two weeks ago.

BTW Jack and I are in the 65+ group in Boston Rick - is that where Fred is too?
Rick we are getting old, woman don,t want us anymoreYankeerunner wrote:Got the CTC done today, but not easily. I've been feeling fatigued as I near a peak for CRASH-Bs, and woke up thinking, "Blah!" Things didn't get any better while warming up and got worse on the first rep, making me wonder if I should just bail altogether. During the 4' rest I decided to plow through it at a slower pace and managed to finish it out, erratic as it was at 1:56.9, 1:58.9, 1:57.0 and 1:55.1. Turned out to be 'recent-2K-+3.'
I'll be taking a day off tomorrow to rest up for the Saturday race. Hopefully one day off will be sufficient to restock some energy reserves.
P.S. This CTC seems to be unpopular with the Forum Flyerettes. I fear that my boat will not leave the dock.

Ladies, how about this month turning in enuf entries at the eleventh hour (31 Jan) to float all the eligible boats and have a surplus sufficient to launch an all girl aggregation? That would stir up some interest by both sexes in the team and indy points competition. Should take only an additional 8 to 10 F or f entries to increase the probability of such a result.
