    Wow! My best to date is just over 7.4km for 30mins and at a much higher heart rate. Great to see it done and more incentive for me to put the work in. Nothing competitive just great to see. Are you logging on the concept2 website?
    Regards, Brent

    Wow! More rowers...and you are all hard core!! If you'd like to "friend" up with other rowers, you can friend me and that will help get you in touch with the rest. We have a very nice little community going. Many are switching to on-water soon, or from erg to biking, but next winter I bet we're going to be trying to be competitive in the January group challenge on Concept 2.

    Hit a personal best yesterday that I am proud of:

    5km in 19min 29secs

    Working on getting this down to around 18.5 mins by spring next year.

    Also going to try to 30min race challenge to come up with a distance to compare.

    Wow, lots of new guys, and some seriously good times. You're right Michelle, we could be serious contenders for the January challenge. I'm going to try and join in, but I expect to be working in the Middle East, and will have to find a local gym. Shouldn't be a problem. :-)

    Hi! I row for UCI women's varsity crew in the lightweight boat. We've got a race in a few days in Sacramento so we had practice today out on the bay, 3x20min pieces at alternating rates of 23/28 then 20>24 and then i think the last one was 25>30 or so.
    A pyramid drill too to warm up, 16/18/20/22/24 at 4min each

    It was a good practice.
    :)

    Well done Hannah, it takes a while to get form right then times drop drastically.

    Just did my monthly 2000mtr test today and got down to 7 minutes dead, well not quite dead still breathing heavily, improving slowly and now being only fat instead of obese will be aiming for 6' 30 by christmas eve.

    Yesterday was 10,000m in pretty much 50:00.

    I'm probably going to row again today as it's the start of the Concept II Holiday Challenge and I'm considering going after the 200,000m mark.....

    That's pretty damn quick for a 2k Lucan 07. Great performance.

    Hannah and Harmony, welcome! Fun to see you here. We'll follow the water team as you go through the season, Harmony, if you'll give us the links to your team.

    Today was the first interval workout on my C2......10 x 500/1r with an average pace of 2:05 / 500m

    I had some short bursts where my pace went below 2:00 / 500m and felt amazing afterward!

    New to rowing, 5k in 24:01.

    All over the place. The straps for my feet keep loosening, and that is a pain. I find myself readjusting every 500m.

    Pain in the *kitten*.

    Enjoying it though.

    This one was SUPER fun, and it was one of those workouts where you actually feel your body responding!

    15 min focused warmup with some 30 sec bursts @ 28spm
    No stroke ratings for this piece, do at your own rate:
    4x 30"on/30" off @2K pace

    1x 5' on/1' off @2K plus 4 seconds

    10x 20"on/10" off @ 2k plus 10 seconds

    1x 10' on @ 2k + 16 (this one is tricky, but stick with it because your body is flushing the lactic acid and you are getting the benefits of the workout)

    10x 20"on/10'off @2k +10

    1x5' on/ 1' off @2k +4

    4x 30"on/30" off @2K or lower, then EVEN LOWER on the last one!!!

    Such a good piece!

    Stick with it! Try rowing with your feet out of the straps. You may be throwing your weight back and that is why the straps keep coming loose. You should be controlled throughout from catch to drive. Happy stroking!!!
